@drachenmagier and you!
stuff coyote thinks about while listening to Wagner, why do I remember this cartoon better than the Krebs cycle or anything useful?
O MIGHTY WARRIOR OF GREAT FIGHTING STOCK
MIGHT I INQUIRE TO ASK, WHAT'S UP DOC?
"I'm going to kill da wabbit"
OH MIGHTY WARRIOR TWILL BE QUITE A TASK
HOW WILL YOU DO IT
MIGHT I INQUIRE TO ASK?
"with my spear and magic helmet"
"spear and magic helmet?"
"magic helmet!"
"Yes, magic helmet! And I'll give you a sample!
"North winds BWOW! South winds BWOW! Typhoons, hurricanes... SMOOOOGGGGGG"
"bye!"
"That was da wabbit!"
@chimerror greeeaat, I just went from Rabbit of Seville past What's Opera Doc straight into listening to Siegfried's Death and Funeral March
whattaya expect in an opera, a happy ending?
coyote sing along hour, Gwar, poop
cross the river leave the abyss
give the seat of the toilet a kiss
each virgin sacrifice speaks these magic words,
just jiggle the handle and call forth a turd!
here it comes baby, Ah'm droppin' mah load!
Ah ain't just on it, Ah AM th' commode
AHH!
Reading my new VtM rules book I both have thumbnailed characters and written story ideas, and gotten incredibly bored with being told how to build ambience linked to Jung like archetypical stories which require 6 pages of jargon.
Keep in mind while Werewolf and Changeling REALLY connect to me at some big levels, Vampire doesn’t; it’s just interesting to me.
@frost oh neat, how? I’m okay, just kinda low energy. This week was a lot of buttons being pushed.
@GoodNewsGreyShoes and, thinking about this today connects up to other stuff
* terrible things happen, but they’re not always death rushing to meet me, acknowledges a future with both good and bad (given PTSD I’m notoriously bad at thinking there’s any future)
* I feel like most of my negativity is extrapolating a few terribles to be bad to be all the time. In this case it only takes a few times I fucked up or wasn’t enough, to plug right into the worth/morality stuff I was taught
@frost yap!
The definition of entertainment media is "something big comes along which blows the lid off what was there before and you ask yourself, wow, you mean they can actually do this?" I can see this in how prior generations hit Tolkien and science fiction in general, but my lifetime's included an okay amount of "wow, you mean they can actually do this?" There's obviously going to be a great deal of that long after I'm gone.
@GoodNewsGreyShoes was realizing, it's the First Noble Truth. Years and years and years of trying to deal with my very "everything is about how good I am or not," and I rediscovered what the Buddha flat out said and which I've reread multiple times.
reminded myself that a story I still want to work on involves how 1940-44 is technically a "greatest hour of need" for most countries in Europe, and consequently awakened Ogier Dansk and Roland fighting Friedrich Barbarossa's troops, Owain Glyn Dwr and Arthur unsure about defending foreigners from England, etc.
@StormyDragon since I grew up Jewish, all I can do is look on in confused wonder.
It is a wild ride how *really* European takes on St. Nikolai somehow wound up as this incredibly American cultural figure. It's like if Paul Bunyan was actually Ogier Dansk mythology or something.
@y6nH Thanks for the help!
I hadn't realized that Germans had grafted a British/American style Santa Claus onto their previously Very Christian St. Nicholas as "Weinachtsmann." Literally Christmas Man. Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot, and I must strike Christmas into their hearts. The carol "Tomorrow Comes The Christmas Man" does not help with this.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
