REPTILES
have silly grins
dark eyes
massive breasts
SOME HAVE FINS!

SAMURAI
they smile never
serious
pretty swords
very clever!

maybe I should post drawings. But I just ain't feeling it today. I'm gonna have a half edible and see if I feel like it. This requires getting up so I'll do it after I listen to more Oingo Boingo.

who makes the rules? SOMEONE ELSE!
who makes the rules? SOMEONE ELSE!

we walk on two legs not on four
to walk on four legs breaks the law
what happens when we break the law?
what happens when the rules aren't fair?
we all know where we go from there.

I live cement
I *hate* this street
give dirt to me
I bite lament
this human form
where I was born
I now repent
caribou! Caribou! Caribou!
Repent! REPENT!

give me wide ground to run
and foregone, lets me knife
knife me lets
I will get
what I want.
Caribou! Caribou! Caribou!
Repent! REPENT!

and we say we're in love with all of it
and we say we're in love with everything
and we say, what can we say?
and we say we're in love with all of it
and we say we're in love with everything,
and we LIE. Love to lie.

*races off towards Powell's*

You should unfollow me. I’m evil, I’m vicious, I’m complete shit.

I swear I've never been this excited in my life to have not one but TWO total strangers who I am definitely not into, wandering around my apartment when I really need a nap. But maybe they can actually fix the sink?

naw, let's not spew anger right now. let's instead eat late lunch or really late breakfast depending on your definitions of "raspberry bar from the coffee shop." Hopefully this will help me feel less like the worst fucking person on earth.

tell me I don't need a lengua burrito and a tamarindo

I'm not sure spending money on groceries from Asian Family Food Center is a GREAT idea but it's definitely more viable

well at least no matter what else I think about this shitty situation, I still want to punch Bibi in his fucking face until he stops saying offensive shit.

jeez, dude. The ISRAELIS don't like you, the PALESTINIANS certainly don't like you, the people who DO like you are fucking Republicans, I'm still resentful of bullshit you pulled in 2017 let alone the bullshit you've pulled since, please step the fuck down.

subskeet; I know he's done Batman stories before, but what I really want is for Neil Gaiman to write a Superman story about the Kryptonian exiles, which doesn't show them on the cover as a teaser.

That way, every issue will feature Neil Before Zod.

I am dead sure someone's done this joke before.

you probably won't believe this, but I have really pissed off opinions this morning, but venting them will not change anyone's mind nor help anyone, and fuck, I'm tired enough of sinking active effort into trying to believe I'm not a terrible person without also putting something out there which is sure to be attacked.

Pretty much anything you could say about a person becomes believable if it's about Sir Christopher Lee. Spoke fluent German? Actually *met* Tolkien? Decided to play Dracula silent to avoid poor scripted dialogue, and it worked? Charlemagne descendant? Saw the last execution by guillotine? Sure, so you could just start making up stuff.

@wolfe oh do northern dialects have the vaguely Danish thing of "sounds like Swedish (German in this case) but with a bad sinus infection?"

yeah I think I don't have the emotional resources to attend the Zoom workshop I originally wanted to do, tomorrow.

lost as I may be
in the fog of my own noise and trivialities
Grand Holy Mother, grant me clarity,
I am standing on the edge of forever,
forever.

#drawings tonight! CW for snake and spider content!

@frost Yes and no;

No, because we know everyone in the game is kinda terrible to holy crap that's terrible, but the game's background largely doesn't come into actual play (the Imperial penchant for vivisection and fundamentalism gets reflected in some, not all, visuals).

Yes, because the game's future is *supposed* to be bleak. Keep in mind the game starts out in the 80s, when you've got the Cold War, the Troubles, and no internet to challenge fairly tight conservative control of the media, so despite how bad your reality looks, you're very much being told that England (er... the UK!) or the USA are saintly good guys, Christianity is flawless, the future is wonderfully bright etc. AND your escapism is mostly Tolkien, Star Wars, Star Trek, D&D's good alignments, lots of noble good guys versus horrible baddies.

A "dark future" or "shades of gray" might seem trite and overdone now after that's been around for decades - but in the 80s and even into the 90s, saying "Judge Dredd /Lobo/Elric of Melnibone *isn't* a good guy" or "there are no good guys in 40K" is pretty revolutionary. If you read the canon, too, it's very influenced by Dune, Arthurian mythology, and WWI, all of which are distinctly tragic.

And it's not just counterculture, there's a practical aspect; the GW folks wanted to sell their game, and the quickest way to steer people from just playing the official good guy faction is to make no official good guy faction.

Does all this make sense?
