You probably won't believe it, but I'm stressed about the future and feeling sad about the past again. Who'd a thought.

Zelda the Wind Breaker which follows up the Ocarina of Time with our hero... uh... playing more music with devastating effects

HEY JOHNNY COPE ARE YE WAUKIN' YET
OR ARE YOUR DRUMS A BEATIN' YET
IF YE WERE WAUKIN' I WOULD WAIT
TAE GANG TAE THE COALS IN THE MORNING

Dude! It's the music from like when Keanu meets that one dude, and they fight! And then these other dudes show up! You know, the "big dude punch-out"!

Not Pagan as in "I honor the Aesir, Vanir, and Disir in what I best think reflects my ancestors' practices" but Pagan as in "I believe there's a spiritual side to the universe and that She actually is okay with us and doesn't need us to jump through an unending series of hoops."

Not Jewish as in "I go to synagogue and celebrate holidays without fail," but Jewish as in "some of my ancestors centuries ago came from the middle east and, since then, we've been degraded and murdered all over Europe and the USA for it, so *I* get to define myself and refuse to be classified as 'white' for someone's convenience - especially not while other folks want to degrade and murder us for it."

I am still unsure whether I would embrace the label "disabled."

Tired: the Imperium maintains strict gender divisions, except for the Adeptus Mechanics which has genders like “bzzzt/low ominous hum.”

Wired: female Space Marines Are awesome, let’s do this.

Inspired: Drag Sisters of Battle. It’s over the top aesthetic, it works.

It's just truly ridiculous; gender-affirming care isn't something to debate, and even if I thought it were, there are how many dozen more pressing issues related to say Covid, climate change, lack of health care, inflation, etc etc. Maybe what makes for the real bigots is the ability to hyperfocus on hating the fuck out of whatever minority group rather than *their* real problems which are basically the same as *my* real problems, idk.

As with any prejudice we're handed by the Republican party, people are being hurt and pushed further into emotional crisis for what's basically a huge distraction, but one which folks literally *cannot ignore*. (Analogy; if I point a gun at you, it doesn't matter that I'm trying to distract you from a careening semi out of control headed downhill your direction; you're going to, and have to, worry about the gun.)

This might be thinking several steps too far in advance, but I feel like all this is building a huge amount of resentment towards being handed scapegoats instead of actual resolutions, and idealism of socialism/communism/whatever's-not-this-egregious-bullshitism. Which is great, I'm all for the idea of swapping out the current egregious bullshit for something that provides UBI or guaranteed housing or universal health care etc etc, but then maybe 20-30 years down the line we'll get the alternative socialism/communism/whatever, except if it's hyped too much it'll create its own particularly terrible problems (Holodomir or forced socialization of Samoyed/Evenk herds much?).

watching the "Thor" fanvid for "Threw It On the Ground" reminded me of when I was actually stoked for new Marvel superhero movies. Thanks to the subjectivity of memory it feels profoundly in the past (so not "that was ages ago" like when I was looking forward to new Jurassic World movies, but the same vague ages ago as John Carter of Mars or Kung Fu Panda II).

Causing innocent blood to flow
entire culture lost in the overthrow
they came to seize and take whatever they please
and all they gave back was death and disease
my people were left with no choice but to decide
to conform to a system
responsible for genocide
responsible for genocide
responsible for genocide

#drawings tightened up today while listening to the unused Graeme Revell score for The Thirteenth Warrior and the final Goldsmith score. Brutal oni in rain cape and partial armor decapitates fallen elf foe, an armored adventurer finds gnolls lurking in the darkness, and two undead!

Oh yeah, I draw sometimes right? Two #drawings for #GoblinWeek; goblin wizard, fighter and ranger with dire weasel companion, an orc and a bugbear (decided against tightening the hobgoblin on that page).

The Surf Coasters - Hava Nagila https://youtu.be/NSMZcJgX7Sg via @YouTube

sudden abrupt change from "straight cover of Hava Nagila" to "holy crap I want to go north of Santa Cruz and paddle out RIGHT FREAKIN NOW."

"I love you Pumpkin"
"I love you Honey-Bunny. Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
"Any of you fucking pricks move and I'll execute every motherfuckin' last one of ya!"

oooh, "Breaker Morant" is free on YouTube. I could get hammered and be angry at the pommies!

uh, aside from how I'm technically British not Australian and that still doesn't provide me with non-stale beer.

oooh, "Zulu" is free on YouTube. I should probably not get hammered and watch "Zulu"...

... I don't have any beer which isn't probably stale. Well poop.

Went from braindead and wanting to draw to being in a groove and finally being braindead *from* pushing on drawings.

Me, job hunting: just a bit more and I’m gonna draw and ink stuff and read and it’s gonna be awesome!

Also me, but after job hunting, free to draw etc: uuuh. Zombie no go unless you tell an to go go, zombie!
