uspol, Judge Dredd
Having grown up around the concept of Judge Dredd, Mega-City One, BritCit etc, it weirds me out that "SovCit" means yet *another* iteration of nauseating little right wing assholes, instead of the big city in Russia.
Given the willing collaboration with Russian attempts to undermine American elections, though, maybe it's not so different.
today in learning how to draw vehicles, I learned that #drawing tanks is a particularly advanced form of masochism, and that I am *not* doing it for customers unless they really throw money at me.
1) It's safe to put tupperware in a dishwasher, right? I washed 2 dozen tupperware lids today on top of everything else and I am really looking forward to living any place with a dishwasher.
2) as usual upon seeing nice enough fursuits, I want one. This makes daydreaming of working for Dark Horse or Marvel look practical by comparison.
3) my parents are on the last leg of their vacation rn, in Iceland, and that sure does bring up a batch of mixed feelings.
Cartoon (Disney) subtoot/hot takes
2) I wish The Lion King had been stylistically more of the Just Can't Wait to be King sequence, or at least have more of the gravity-defying scenery right at the end of Be Prepared. (Okay, I also wish the plot had been less elitist/racist.)
3) Despite how much I loved Atlantis (okay yeah I seem to have an undersea/Mignola/tragic thing going on) the best Disney is still Emperor's New Groove, for stylized characters, chunky backgrounds and actually funny.
Cartoon (Disney) subtoot/hot takes
1) The best part of Moana is Tamatoa's sequence. I kinda wish they'd pushed the Miyazaki story elements a little more though I don't know how and failing that, a giant undersea rave would be awesome.
1a) not Disney but I wish Song of the Sea had more underwater parts. Song was a way better Mignola/Miyazaki riff! (Although the ending is horrific; afaik watching a small child be maimed and the world get far sadder and you're supposed to think it's somehow okay.)
Today’s #drawings feature realizing learning how to draw complex vehicles will not be a one-day process.
Urge to say cranky shit, but I don't feel like I can ever talk about that issue, so I may as well shut the hell up. It's not like me talking would change anything.
uh anyway, it's #TMITuesday, ask me questions about lewds or dinosaurs or something?
biomechanics, cw death

Pints of Guinness Make You Strong is making me want to throw heavy shit.
This is unrelated to the nauseating little smugass fash shit YouTube has decided I want to see because CLEARLY, someone who selects stoner rock, punk, drawing and model railroad technique videos just reads as someone who sure wants to know how Churchill and Columbus were both just great.
tonight's music choices explained
Weird Al "Lucy" has kinda whiny female vocals => No Doubt, "Spiderwebs" and "Just a Girl," achingly sad vocals => Cranberries "Dreams," wordless ululating vocals at end => Audioslave "Show Me How to Live," similar instrumetal structure => RAtM, "Wake Up," the urge to throw heavy crap => Against Me, "Pro-Vision L3," "Bamboo Bones"
This is especially counterproductive in places where the world is, or very much appears to be, some sort of scary, exclusive, competitive place. I'm not even talking about the particularly hateful bits, here (though they did NOT HELP!), just talking about the basic went-to-not-great-public-schools part of the exercise. Imo there are literally thousands of people stumbling around with this background which is part of why things are this royally dicked in 2018.
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.
