finished The Life and Death of a Druid Prince today. They start from the pretty feasible (last meal was a burned fairly good quality cake, so this probably wasn't a sacrifice due to a crummy harvest; a guy in good shape with a full beard, carefully manicured fingers and no obvious signs of having ever been in a battle was probably a druid of some sort; maybe the only item of clothing was a suggestion for his name, because there *are* fairly well off Celts recorded as having had fox-inspired names) move through bit of a stretch innit (he willingly ate the burned cake, 60 CE was a shitty enough year for Britain that it may have occasioned the sacrifice) to just throwing out conjecture (he was from Ireland originally, and the reason he doesn't have a torc is it's probably at Llyn Cerrig Bach not far away).

@kurgarru just a mix of what's going on musically in more popular music, being horny, and the certain knowledge that you and everything you knew was considered an easy sacrifice to a war you'd never live to hear formally declared.

@frost they showed up in an oni mask, updated the BIOS and installed a new driver, then dropped a smoke grenade and disappeared before we could say thanks!

Not really a fan of Imagine FX pushing this ML bullshit.

@frost I honestly don’t remember?

@frost I somehow managed to delete my profile pic on Mastodon, and grab the most similar thing as a replacement. which is OK really I hyena seems to better fit how I feel right now.

Okay, I need to make myself get out of the chair, through a shower and fairly far south.

@kistaro Unlikely, but do you think this is anything I could help with in terms of research or cold calling?

yeah, now that I'm sober, I think what I really am drawn too/need to work on is a kinda consistent pleasing (gamuted?) color scheme.

*sometime in the mid 1960s*
ARTHUR BROWN: Biscuits! Bring them all to me! Biscuits! To have with my tea! No no no. It's just missing something you know? Needs an edge, but what?

"I am the god of Hellfire! And I bring you..."

* gods of everything that isn't Hellfire, very possibly Monty Python members in housewife drag *

"There's Arthur bringing you Hellfire again."
"Oh he says he'll take me to learn. Really rather nice."
"He does this every sodding day, you know. Without fail."

@ziphi careful study for the results, evil for the aesthetics

@ziphi *furiously air guitars, headbangs*

okay so everything I'm thinking of now about art is that I want to trend towards cartoonier/more stylized AND less literal, more coherent overall color shift (so that looks more bold and dramatic while in reality being fairly subdued)

this is COMPLETELY not any sort of porn I find hot, for but honestly the expressions and color use are masterful at a level I'd do well to study so yeah, stereotypical het furry porn for the win at least *sometimes*.

seriously it's all about taking color less literally and moving what are theoretically different hues/saturation levels more towards a coherent whole.

I also notice that a different furry artist whose character design I like less has the same sort of color sense (so the cartoonier figures and features really fit here) and yet a third furry artist who does porn I'm a little turned off by tbh? is a complete MASTER of value contrasts,

I dare say do you have a SHOWER ROTTWEILER FEMBOY in this furry gym? all the best stereotypical muscle Gay gyms in furry porn have a shower rottweiler femboy to conveniently show up whenever any stereotypically muscled and hung dude happens to get a boner while in the shower or while using the lat pulldown machine

it's ALWAYS the lat pulldown machine, btw. Is that thing ever free?

I'm JUST a stupid animal that thinks about the potential of nearly everything to hurt it, and I'm expected to have a human neurotypical long term thinking

I really am trying to human better, though I guess that's like rethink and revise current negative coping mechanisms; it would be easier to think with an acceptance of the longer term, or swap so I was less online and insomniac, if there were more positive stuff ahead in general, however everything looks kinda bleak currently

@frost It's a mythology reference. In the mythology you bring something to life by writing on its forehead and putting a little manuscript between its lips, but that's not as funny as simplifying it right now.

Wow, I am *really* far gone, eh? Maybe it's time to take a break from online and lie down.

captain's log. Several weeks later it is 28.10.23. The Coyote Space Agency is stretched to the limits of operational capacity at all times due to the Coyote Space Agency being *one person*
