Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@kobi_lacroix You're VERY close on all of those. Shinty-Six is correct; Twentington is (AFAIK) from a different Britcom with a similar sense of humor. (HINT: ASK DAVE. IS DAVE THERE? HELLO, DAVE.)

Group X, not Band X, but full credit. And correct on cDonald's.

I'm expanding on my joke about "forbidden" numbers with @kobi_lacroix@snouts.online and turning it into a quiz. Can you match these fictional numbers with their media sources?

1. bleventeen
2. brazillion
3. 'cDonald's Number
4. eleventy-one
5. (one) quilliard
6. schfifty-five
7. shinty-six
8. sñeventy
9. threeve
10. twentington
11. twiddly-two
12. zeroteen

A. & B. Gravity Falls (twice)
C. Gröûp X
D. Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
E. The League of Gentlemen
F. Lord of the Rings
G. Look Around You
H. That Mitchell and Webb Look
I. Peanuts
J. Ramona Quimby
K. Saturday Night Live
L. unsourced political joke

@kobi_lacroix (And a quillard dollars to anybody who can guess the fictional sources of all 14 of those "forbidden" numbers. HINT: The only one I made up myself was "infivenity.")

@kobi_lacroix DO NOT OPEN OR ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ABAQUE DIABOLIQUE! ITS FIGURES ARE NOT FOR YOU, MORTAL. 😡​

Gorgeous tribute to the late great J Dilla. Kinda makes me want to investigate that sampling pad he's using and play around with one.

So... it's been a tough couple weeks, but Peg and I see to have basically come out ahead.

I promised mysel(ves) that when we finally got this all together, there would be promotions all around. And I guess it's time to follow through.

So fair warning, at some point during or after the move, this tiger is probably gonna disappear, and a terrifying space manticore is going to mysteriously appear on dragon.style. The Martian High Council will neither confirm nor deny that this is the same individual, but you will be contacted as necessary.

KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES

Dear IT engineers: "contact me here" is not a useful instruction when your user only sees your replies in e-mail, clicking on the only link provided takes them to the same app you already told them not to use, and has ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING idea where the living fuck "here" is from your perspective.

Second-order empathy. It's a thing now. >_<

@tastymochafox @Oneironott Oh, they've been serving those at Espresso Vivace, yeah, they're so good! Best thing to do is get a couple bottles of Torani flavor syrups to throw in. (Note that Cash and Carry just off of Aurora near Northgate has a TON of them for like $2-4 apiece...)

Every time a fan theorist declares that two pieces of media are "in the same universe" because of an homage, Tommy Westphall dies for our sins all over again.

"You're watching Martian Telewave Four. Tonight on 'Hey, They're Gonna Eat That Guy,' our two-cat panel will be..."

@Phorm This is pretty accurate to my mental image of you, though. <3

Back or somethin'.

When @anthracite and I were in NOLA, our guest room was in a wifi deadzone, and then we spent all day on airport wifi, so now it's like OH LORD WHEN WILL YOU DRY UP THIS RIVER OF INTERNET BEFORE ME

@Leucrotta Oh fucking hell yeah. :D

@Leucrotta (I mean, shit, catch me between Parallax chapters and major life transitions, and I could easily be persuaded to co-write and/or edit and/or help with period research, if that would help make this a thing that happens! <3 )

@Leucrotta Oh fuck those guys sideways with a javelin. And then fuck them sideways with a javelina, preferable a consenting one with nice big tusks. >_<

@Leucrotta I mean, that would be kickin' rad, and it would totally suit your biggest artistic foci. Maybe start small and digestible, with like an 8-page "Weird Comics" style mini-story about one incident in this alternate war?

Well, it sure beats hell out of drawing the 9S. And that one described most of the last four years of my life, evidently.

I should have listened to Dawn.
