Yay, suicidal ideation thanks to work and the staggering lack of future/regret that I didn’t get training and find work in something I find unappealing and which I was told I was too fucking stupid to do. Been a while.

His TETSUBO slams into the base of my SKULL

I’m fighting NINJAS in a CATHEDRAL. Because that is fun to DRAW.

“Gaaaaa”
“Hggg”
“Wunch”

It’s time for another TOUGH GUY MONOLOGUE.

The WHISPER of a NO DACHI as it’s pulled from its SHEATH

NINJAS. The sort there ALWAYS are in these COMICS.

Right on SCHEDULE. #FrankMiller #dialogue

The sort of in depth knowledge of Japanese culture that you get from ordering Philadelphia Rolls at your neighborhood sushi place.

high heeled ladies spittin' at the nickerjacks
businessmen with a needle an' a spoon
I'm chewin' on a cigarette
pack of young girls goin' howlin' at the moon
hey darlin'! Sleepin' on the blacktop.
hey darlin'! Runnin' through the trees honey
hey darlin'! Leavin' for the next town
less'n mah sense catches up with me.

The spirits white as lightning all on me travels guide me,
the moon would shake and the stars would quake
whenever they espied me.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
for they all go bare and they live on the air
and they want no drink nor money.

#drawings today, two Imperial Guard officers from WH40K, and two skeletal undead, while listening to various movie soundtrack bits.

also please remember that wild animals are wild. One is not to feed them, approach them, be kind to them, keep one as a pet or do anything at all which might acclimatize them to humans and therefore result in their deaths and, if there is a video of a wild animal that you consider cute, it's probably COMPLETELY HORRIBLE and you are a TERRIBLE PERSON who really shouldn't be in furry fandom, certainly. Crack a mammalogy textbook and a cold one and feel guilty instead.

yes I know mainstream media, I should stop drinking. I also need to stop smoking, eat more vegetables, do yoga, etc to extend my service life as long as possible for the good of the free market. Much the same way that during WWII a Japanese soldier's rifle was the personal property of the emperor and needed to be accorded the appropriate care.

"Harrison Ford is officially joining the MCU." Not *playing* anyone in the MCU mind, Harrison Ford is, himself, a superhero.

Were it possible somehow to push conservation purely by beating heads they’d be all for it. That’s their hate for social programs or safe spaces, the idea someone might get something without earning it preferably by beating heads. Unfortunately the punitive focus dovetails into the worry of the merely right-leaning, that somehow they’ll be stuck with a fiscal or emotional bill.

And, if you’re in any marginalized group, there’s no question what you are to be punished FOR.

To Republicans, being defined as a good person involves ability and willingness to punish. That’s their love of bloated defense budgets and police, the afterlife fantasies, the home defense fantasies, the colonialism and capitalism narratives, the idea that education is better when it’s authoritarian and dogmatic. That’s the worship of Trump as a strong man who speaks his mind and orders punishment, despite his complete lack of an actual backbone.

A weird personal thing; before the pandemic I cooked on the fly, throwing stuff together, maybe inspired by something I had at a restaurant. I started using recipes (loosely) much more often when I ate in more often (most of why I liked restaurants was getting out of the house).

The weirder part; I’ve apparently spent so much time cooking chicken gizzards and livers as a treat that I no longer think of chicken nuggets as a low quality special thing to eat too much of.

<American> the King of England doesn’t stomp around in alwite armor, he doesn’t even eat turkey legs and throw the bones on the floor, can’t we just like elect Brian Blessed or something? </American>

addendum, this middle of night thought connects to realizing that really uncomfortable stuff (and aging while being poor, working jobs I hate, etc are uncomfortable) *can* mean nothing more than itself, but opens me up to all sorts of negative pattern-matching.

is it in fact possible that, starting out handed already difficult goals, all or nothing duality, and then having the goalposts moved, it's simply easier to perceive myself as a failure when in fact I am a failure in some respects and profoundly successful in others? (Not to mention how there's this monolithic idea of failure as this world crushing thing rather than something that occasionally just happens.)

BRB getting myself permanently banned from Genius Lyrics for posting “the meaning is when the great 12th level anti paladin Klibanophoros fought back the fiendish owlbear hordes of the Ghoul-Queen, that was cool huh huh cool YEAH YEAH ROCK!” on Eternal Champion songs.

Lastly I wanted to post these Saturday but couldn’t. Here’s the exterior of the Hotcakes and Steak House in Portland; their sign (they’re no longer open 24 hours); the counter; and the veggie omelette I got.

Now the unpleasant part; heading out we saw the wildfire near Camas. From the Vista House you could see the smoke being caught up in the area, and by later in the afternoon it’d flattened as the fire continued.
