weird nostalgia 

🎶​for a really long time
eleven giants walked around
they thought up funny things
until their thinking came alive

and that's what this game is
you're inside their thoughts
go and make them bigger
and we'll play a long while

AND WE CALL THE GIANTS BY THEIR NAMES:

there's Humbaba and Friendly,
Alph, Tii, Zille and Lem
Grendaline and Spriggan,
Cosma, Pot, and Mab!

and that's what this game is
you're inside their thoughts
go and make them bigger
and we can play a long while. 🎶​

weird nostalgia 

Today I learned:

the group behind Slack actually used to be a (failed) video game company, that made this utterly charming browser-MMO-thing called Glitch.

It's a shame that game closed down. It was just so relentlessly *nice* towards people.

music inspiring Wonder 

going in the short-duration-personal-savior folder,

Bjork dropped a new album, Utopia, a week ago and it's all Very Good

desperately needed today, yis.

(especially note: 'Body Memory': [youtube.com/watch?v=bXPDeUN03Q] and 'Future Forever' [youtube.com/watch?v=0vKNa5ZLgr] )

Pyre (video game), early spoilers 

I got Pyre a few days back! I just recently finished the first...cycle? of it, into the second. Lush and charming and engaging and aaahhh.

(the only downside is my computer seems to crash often with it, but, engaging tech support for that.)

I expected good things out of this game, given Supergiant's lineage, and i'm still impressed. @_@ (I can see why you dug it, @starkatt​ !)

I start a job tomorrow!

...aaaaaaaaaaaa i start a job tomorrow.

this is good but also making me be rather lazy today. I think that's allowed. Warm and sturdy and glowing.

NOW TO STUFF ENOUGH KELP IN MY GILLS THAT THE WALLS UNFURL

*distant, low bellowing, as if a great bloop, far underwater*

Thank you all for being. Thank you for being here, for existing, for sharing existence with me.

thank you. 💜​

Because it's the season, y'know what?

I'm thankful for you. For *you*. Your existence, your sheer weirdness, your wonder and beauty. By being so uniquely you, you make the world a little more different, more novel, more fascinating

Thank you for being here. Thank you for continuing.

Thank you. 💜

I did an interview!
It went really well, I left a good opinion. I was told that I should hear back by wednesday.

...As soon as I settle in to start eating lunch back at home, I get the 'would you like this job' call

so, uh
i guess job get, i start on monday @___@

It's a nootropic from the dark web called Franken Snax. Dude was pitchin' his startup for usin' cybernetic sugar gliders to make beekeepers, suddenly he's bein' carried out the door by his sex robot "Barry".

so: i apologize for being outside of space

but
i hope your day has been good and warm and loving

if it hasn't, then I hope you find some rest and warmth in the coming time. Weekends are soon! 💜​

Stranger Things s2 spoiler, small background note 

Seen on the walls of the punk kid flat, one graffiti just 'KING MOB' and another 'BARBELITH'

yessssssssssss

woo, compassion 

there's a dream, half-remembered;
an echo, cast from
the light at the bottom of the sea.

[I love you so much
for the sheer fact
that you exist in this world.

for you are something unique-
a wonderful jewel
that casts its light into creation;
creating anew in the ripples cast by your passing.

May you always shine bright.
May existence be gentle to you.

You deserve sanctuary
and warmth
and love
and wonder.

We're so proud of you.
We love you so much. ]

state-of-ellu updates 

Ellu has been kind of quiet a lot here, but has not forgotten any of you. Promise. If it ever seems that way, please, reach out? DMs are always open.

I'mma be doing my best to put more neat stuff up here in general, in the weeks to come. Glow and weird writing like that and maybe more drummusic, maybe. 💜​

Tonight, share in a moment of happiness.

You still deserve that, you know. Happiness.
Warmth.
Love.

All that.

That's still your right. 💜​

Seahorses and sea dragons are related and are both kinds of fish; they're slow-moving but not sessile, and camouflage themselves among the kelp in which their food source - plankton and small crustaceans - lives. Both species are evolved from the pipefishes, which also live among the seaweed.

In seahorses, sea dragons, and pipefish, the male carries the young; seahorses and -dragons have no scales, and instead have skin stretched over scaly rings radiating from bony skeletons.
