my new fursona, skekTesy, the raver skeksis!

no, sie does not appear in my planned Gormenghast/Thra fanfic

Medieval bestiaries are always “[x animal] is always THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF EVIL and completely malicious and also in this way exhibits the noblest traits of Our Mother the Church in Avignon or W/E.”

supplier sent two different invoices referencing the same PO which I parsed as total for the PO; possibly I was supposed to receive in only the second. Anyway I got a big EXPLAIN THIS! email from our buyer then I was on the phone with them. It was about as fun as you’d imagine.

Driving along there’s this truck with big PRAY FOR UKRAINE stuff. Okay so FIRST OFF the last thing my people there need is more sanctimonious Christianity AND SECONDLY the dudes currently invading are doing so supported by a religious right and they’re linked to the religious right HERE so it pisses me off that religious fuckwads are co-opting a war THEY MADE for feel good purposes.

Right wingers are the only real enemy, from Tel Aviv to Seattle.

* tired; imagining Mark Hammill saying “I don’t LIIIIKE sand, it’s coarse and irritating and it gets EVERYWHEEEEEERE” in his whiniest Luke voice

* wired; imagining “I was gonna go to Tacce Station to pick up some power converters” or “but with the blast shield down I can’t even seeeeee” in his Joker voice

dream, I went to Marine Park in Bellingham only instead of a simple boardwalk over the old railroad path, a huge market full of antique shops and fish stores, with badly weathered panels. I could see dark clouds raining into the water ahead miles away(!) in downtown Fairhaven, and I thought I was being terribly clever referring to it as "a queer sort o' taown at the mouth of the Manuxet River."

it's being a patchy night on sleep.

up at night thanks to anxiety/neighbors taking a loudly sloshy bath?, on the pot, let's finish this old module...

... after an entire adventure of characters drifting from assignments from a prominent NPC, it ends on having an NPC hero show up and save another NPC as a set piece. But dark events the PCs don't know about and can't affect loom on the horizon! The game engine powering this is maybe a 0-4-2. All aboooard!

#drawings today were undead!
Zombies and some kinda crazed little melee combatant skeleton. Zombie lord, some kinda wraith or something, elite skeletal archer.

"My lord there are so many uncharted settlements. It could be smugglers, it could be..."
"That's the one. And I'm sure Skywalker is with them! General Veers, prepare your men!"

... imagine how much biochem I'd remember if it'd had John Williams soundtrack cues.

Six String Samurai made enough of an impression to quote Death during parts of uh, other movies' soundtracks.

"He felt surprise was best sir."
"He's as clumsy as he is stup... NICE SHOES!"

"Death Star in range."
"You may fire when ready."
* throws up the horns, headbangs *

It's weird how I'm a world and >100 years worth of American citizens away from Kharkiv or whatever *and yet* I kinda do fit with far more recent Russian/Ukranian immigrants.

But there are also aliens like the Queblari, or “Space Keebs,” whose civilization has been scattered throughout the stars since That One Time At Pride. They bring Snap-Krakul Andpop, their dread bloody handed avatar, into your morning.

Come to the grim future! We got;

* the Adeptes Tormenti Pabulum, previously known as the Imperial Guard. Legions of unremarkable dudes just like you! Only with tanks! And not quite enough air support!

* the robed Adeptes Constanter Fractis Machinis. If you’ve ever thought “Makitas are cool, but what if they doubled as toasters and also replaced your head” this is your faction!

* the Space Marines or Adeptes Minima Iratus Capitibus, known for facing battle without helmets!

Australia is technically ruled by British royalty, but since Isildur fell at Ayers Rock, the country has been ruled by a series of Prime Ministers. Nonetheless there are those who claim that Prince William shall one day reforge the Sword What Was Broken and return to Melbourne. Receiving tribute from as far as distant Perth.

This morning Robin Williams was still dead and somehow I’m not.

if you're at a convention, getting treated like you're valued and outside the normal flow of work and bills, is that an isekai?

is a weekend?

#drawing today, I did up some analog inking on random critters in my sketchbook. Evil wizard, half fiends, a troll-illithid hybrid, hersir and musketeer.
