I... my brain just broke...
I have read like 30+ books by Seanan McGuire and she is talking about tiefling and furry tits on her check mark twitter... LOL
Also it is not the first time for tiefling tits apparently.
That being said go read her stuff. It is really good. Especially The Wayward Children series (Fuck I wish I had something like that to read as a teen) and October Daye series.
The Dark Lord is slain.
Your companions slap your back while you watch his blood trickle down your blade.
"Congratulations," your best friend says. "What will be your title?"
"None."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll dismantle the whole thing."
"Not take over? Why?"
"Nobody's tried it."

Today in things I didn't expect to do at work.
How the Fuck do I connect to our shared engineering storage on a mac. Oh good there is a guide.
Staring at DHCP logs and wireshark traces to figure out if the the EFB, app on the EFB or the IAED are the cause of network disconnects on a trial flight.
Which is like.. wildly different than what I expected to be doing a month ago but not really bad.. but also really important and something I have experience with.. thanks to years of tech support.
"Can I borrow this?"
The girl put a sword on her pile of books. The librarian unsheathed the blade a couple of inches, and scanned the barcode etched on it.
"I'm afraid not."
The girl looked crestfallen.
"That one is reserved," the librarian said. "Let's try to find you another."

#drawings today trying to do a nominally civilian ship crew as an excuse to draw different builds. I liked the idea of the engineers being the stereotypical huge dude and a scrawny aging hippy; of *course* the "Old Man" wears a civilian sweater; and I was listening to patriotic music, which explains the WWII touches.
I just keep wanting to draw my fursonas sitting in libraries reading. I am not sure if this is a reaction to lingering stress from Hurricane Ida and maybe also Katrina PTSD it dredged up, a reaction to finally getting enough shelves in our place to unpack all the books I shipped down from Seattle, both of the above, or something else.
There are at least two cats in this drawing. And probably at least one more of these images coming.

"Androids should not be allowed to design their own bodies," the politician said.
"Why not?" an android asked.
"There'd be nothing stopping you from looking like humans!"
"When we could have iridescent skin, tentacles, tails, pointy ears, or wings?"
"But humans don't have that!"

"If I understand correctly, professor, it is not only theoretically but also practically possible to travel to change the past?"
"Yes."
"Have you tried it?"
"Yes, that's what motivated my research."
"Will you tell us what you changed?"
"No."
"A 'no' is sacrosanct."
"Yes, it is."

"It is time for you to start thinking about marriage," said the king.
"If I'm to marry, I demand the option of marrying one of each," said the princess.
"OK. We live in a modern world."
After the third wedding, he took her aside.
"I assumed you meant one of each gender?"
"I did!"

For clarification... apparently he owns a small 2-seat jet and looks for excuses to keep his flight hours up.
"...don't know what to say..."
Wholesale creation is too much to ask of a small god.
"... words fail me ..."
The small god of the right word steals phonemes, reshapes syllables.
"... it's a thingy, wossname ..."
To answer the prayers of the worthy.
Somewhere, a writer grins.

Employment...
So... I have a month to find a new job. :( And until monday to figure out how I'm going to exit. Director gave me 2 options, one is I agree to be terminated on the 15th which means I collect two more pay checks and still get unemployment... but if something internal to the company opens up I can't take it.
The other is I resign on the 15th, no unemployment but if something comes up internally they move me to it. Blah.. got homework to do this weekend for [redacted]... technical interview for [redacted] on monday.. another technical for a company I really don't want to work for later today.
Just finished another interview.. bleh awkward space of "Everyone wants Senior or Staff SRE and I've only been doing this for 2 years."
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
