#drawing today, skeletal warrior with fallen opponent.

current mood; declaring CHRISTMASTIME! during https://youtu.be/bAfbq57WlCk

This far into a pandemic that’s long past/imaginary/desperately threatening dependent on who you ask, having my mask hanging to one side still makes me want to tilt my head towards it and say things like “copy that red leader we’ve got four bandits headed your way, don’t prang.”

thinking about lots of things I wish I could be, wish I could do. An entire world of wants, none of which happen to include "ride the bus so I can process our customers' orders."

#drawing today, trying to make a Wayne Reynolds picture. Human wizard and orc/half orc warrior take on Fraz Ur’Bluu, demon lord of deception. I was also listening to Dungeon Weed. You can tell, right?

season 20 of Stranger Things, which features RHCP's "Suck My Kiss" as the gang battle it out with Malacanthet in 1992

Snow isn’t magical to me anymore. At least a brightly shining crescent moon is still.

Imagine if you could potentially coast for your entire life on your father’s wealth - we’re talking more annually than the GDP of Australia - and all you needed to do is pretend to be a boy and only when you were around the fucker, AND YET you chose to come out as trans and cut ties with him.

Granted “please honor my decisions about my own gender” is something everyone *should* be able to say freely but… that doesn’t say great things about the father in question.

Far from the Sword Coast are Faerun’s dalelands. Like Mistledale, Shadowdale, home to Elminster the Sage, and Dickdale on the coast, noted for its surf loving bards. *Misirlou*

I’m not necessarily a *good* person but I’m pretty innocuous; likes cats, drawing, hikes, etc etc. Like most people I’m furious about a lot of things when I’m not fearful and sad, so when I try intentionally to emphasize the positives, even though that actually IS who I am, if feels faked in context, if that one makes any sense.

I’ve been looking through “Visions of WAR” lately and Wayne Reynolds consistently roughs out paintings with tightly penciled main characters… and the backgrounds are light scribbles. Somehow he works these minimal suggestions to glorious painted backgrounds. It’s sheer magic!

A big thing I figured out this year is “stripped of negative childhood messages, bad experiences are still bad.” Fits with how intensity and frequency of events can turn just stress into catastrophe and maltheism. I largely can’t control unpleasant bullshit from slamming me. I CAN de-fuse childhood associations and catastrophizing which make unpleasant bullshit more intense (ie makes me more vulnerable to the next thing). Doing so while stressed is hard, though.

I could eat a 6 egg omelette right now with tomatoes and mushrooms and spinach. Then take a nap. Two things are definitely NOT in my future. That said I’ve got The Shaolin Afronauts as comfort listening on the bus.

Mnn, need coffee.

oh no we are taken by surprise and with only conventional weapons by men who fight too well to be the local talent, they can only be the Emperor's super elite badasses. Maybe running around at top speeds yelling will help. Especially with a pug.

whoa so this is what it's like inside a bong

ahem

He who controls the spice controls the universe! And what Piter did not tell you is that we control someone close - very close - to Duke Leto. This person, this traitor is more valuable to us than five legions of Sardaukar! The Duke will die before these eyes and he'll know - he'll know! - that it is I, Baron Vladimir Harkonen, who encompasses his DOOM! Buahahahaha!

"Bladder... full. It's been hours since you last went. Your kidneys aching. Barely able to hold it. Water sloshing... Sloshing... Sloshing."
"GOTTA PEEEEEEE."
"Kul wahlad! No woman child ever took that much! You may go to the bathroom, young human."
* Paul races down the hall at top speeds, tensing PC muscles the whole time *

We have just folded space from Ix. Many machines on Ix. Far better than the ones on Richesse.

...on the other hand paying stuff now was a good judgment call, since it means I'm now incredibly depressed and angry eating dinner, and if I'd hit this after a bus ride before dinner I'd probably scream loud enough/throw shit enough for the neighbors to call the pigs or something.
