Nobody's going to see this, but I don't like the idea of anyone including Christians being on the receiving end of "ha ha your religious stuff is weird." Some of it's the omnipresent concern that Muslims or, inevitably, Jews are next to be mocked.

#drawing today. Lately I think I’ve been really enjoying the contrast in big dark areas flattering things out AND building form if that makes sense.

#drawing today, trying to put several things together.

two thumpers are planted. the worm may not rise for the first, he will rise for the second. when he approaches you must be utterly still and plant the hook firmly under a ring segment. the worm will turn to lift the exposed flesh away from the abrasive sand and will take you with it to the top. do not get to close, as he approaches the sand will engulf you.

@arakin it really bothers me that I don't remember any of Spice World other than I really liked it.

"Hey maaaan, what do you call the mouse shadow in the second moon"
"We usually call that one the mouse shadow in the second moon, Captain Obvious."
"Can I be Captain Obvious?"
"We shall call you Paul Captain Obvious and your mother shall be a sayadina to our people."

The beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10191. The known Universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, my father. In this time the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel.

See what I think would be awesome; the demon lord Zuggtmoy is actually a vast carpet of microrhizzae covering her ENTIRE REALM. Consequently what mortals think of as Zuggtmoy is just the network forming a basidium to deal with an immediate threat and which can therefore show up literally anywhere on that plane of the Abyss. So like PCs would go there to steal or hide an artifact, as a stealth mission to avoid rousing her.

Oh yeah Yagnoloths. Or “this is my jackin’ arm.”

Awww man I am sad that xorn don’t show up in this splatbook.

“A trapper needs to eat a halfling sized meal once per week,” uh is that “a meal the size of a halfling” or “”a meal big enough for a halfling”?

Late lunch or very late breakfast, depending on whether you consider a pastry as breakfast, at hyena shawarma.

@StormyDragon @Leucrotta (oh yeah and though this didn’t surface today, gender also connects to sex, which is another convoluted heap of issues for me. NOT easy topics.)

@StormyDragon @Leucrotta So gender, body image, self worth and safety, theoretically only tangentially connected, wind up as a complex tangle. Add in practical considerations (I have to play boy for my parents and employers, so THAT’S a resented externally imposed identity even if I’m 100% male; how could I afford HRT, when could I try out women’s clothes or pronouns, etc) and “I wish I could look pretty in a skirt like that” quickly becomes overwhelming, if that makes sense? ✂️

@StormyDragon @Leucrotta sorta typical; I wish I were a pretty girl (fine on its own) but that gets into how it’s specious for me to link gender to appearance.

I’ve been so completely trained I’m ugly I could look like Tilda Swinton or Tori Amos and never see myself as pretty; making myself pretty or accepting I can have prettiness while being ugly in other respects, gets into questioning worthiness (and, whether others will see me as “deserving” prettiness, womanhood or both). 🧵

Drawing cars, listening to Blue Oyster Cult singing about Elric and Me 262s. I feel like I’m 16 right now.

grumble grumble grumble I’M HAVING GENDER THOUGHTS!

grumble grumble grumble

"between a day with my parents and the work week" means that I want to spend today simultaneously not doing very much and exploring/drawing/reading. In addition, I'm kinda hungry, probably want a little more sleep, and really want a long very hot shower. There's just not enough time for it all!

I'M GOIN' TO UPPSALA

FAR FROM THIS OPERA FOREVERMORE

who am I to disagree?
