I cite Necrons as proof of the inherent coolness of skeletons. Even Arnie couldn’t make a skeleton robot cooler. Literally the only way to make skeleton robots cooler is to give them glowing plasma weapons, possibly cyclopean eyes, spidery legs or an anti grav platform.

Related hot take, GW should totally bring back translucent green plastic parts, that was unusually awesome.

Hot Halloween take; no matter what it is, it’s automatically cool if it’s skeletal undead or an orc. Orcish pugilists? Shambling Byzantine taghmatoi? Orc ninja versus skeletal samurai? Awesome. This is not just because big green or gray dudes are cooler with tusks, this is also because skulls are cool, as we all learned in high school. Nigh unstoppable, possibly unthinking, a skeleton is basically like a robot and robots are cool, but with a skull, so that makes it AWESOME.

Yesterday’s #drawing was seasonal enough I tried to bust ass on it. Dream of the nineties and stuff.

when I picked up the FAT Voter's Guide I thought there were a ton of really nuanced state propositions. There aren't, it's fat 'cause its mostly candidates for all state district elections.

The state propositions are all "should we cut all environmental regulation so we can raise the student-teacher ratio?" That sorta not-nuanced.

#subpost you know I WAS going to say this one post isn't true because the greatest Japanese food ever is agedashi dofu, but THAT'S not true either. The greatest Japanese food ever is taiyaki.

THROW OUT YOUR HANDS
STICK YOUR TUSH
HANDS ON YOUR HIPS
GIVE THEM A PUSH
DON'T BE SURPRISED, YOU'RE DOING THE FRENCH MISTAKE
VOILA!

#SongLyrics #ADHD

NOODLES!

I hate that I have hypervigilence from 2017 and 2002 on top of all the CPTSD crap from the 80s, though there’s been more than that over the long decades, that particular baggage has surfaced a lot lately, and I aspire to be more than a walking collection of traumas.

Yesterday’s #drawing

Vaguely on the same topic of Star Wars, but also Hammer since it’s Halloween;

You watch interviews with Sir Peter Cushing and you wish he were your grandfather, you watch interviews with Sir Christopher Lee and you wish he were your maitre d’armes.

also recently I realized (or probably rerealized), that there are a lot of ways to be successful (or failed, and they're not necessarily exclusive); it's just the whole financially well off, has laundry list of big obvious achievements, married with kids is the easiest to *see*, and therefore is portrayed as the only success there *is*.

yesterday's realization that this election pushes some fairly personal buttons;

* people considered to be good seem to get away with anything, as though it's been decided that because they've been the officially good people in the past, that can't change.

* the ADHD/C/PTSD screwed perception of time. I heard about Trump nonstop before 2016, in 2017-2020 even when I was less politically active because I was depressed and sick he was still there, after 2020 he was constantly there thanks to ever-new items of bullshit he'd pulled in office, now it's 2024 and even if he somehow loses I anticipate election denial, possible insurrection, and further new items to mean he's constantly there. To my broken brain all this feels like I've almost never lived and will never live without his constant threat.

so in The Wild Robot, Mark Hammill plays a bear. This gruff, deep voiced character older and crankier than anyone else in the movie. So essentially you've got a movie where Mark Hammill plays Harrison Ford.

imho the point of 40K is that pretty much every faction is right bastards AND anyone can be true heroes.

like; what's ACTUAL heroism if you're an 8' tall superhuman in ceramite casually blasting away with what's normally a squad support weapon? What's heroism if you're merely a normal human in a battlefield full of 8' tall superhumans and somewhat plastered green Arsenal fans in search of cheap kebobs? What's truly heroic to a somewhat plastered green Arsenal fan in search of cheap kebobs?

whoa Coldplay's still around?

leaving "AAAAAAAH! *runs, flails hands in air" as a comment on all early Beatles tracks on YouTube

satanic messages, sure, but did you know when you play The Beatles' "Number 9" backwards, they tell you about "Number 6"? Either that or if you play it while standing on your head, I'm not quite sure.

Here’s a #drawing from Sunday as well!
