Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@JulieSqveakaroo Um... no, honestly. But mostly because I got into punk fairly early. :) And because I've been reading up on the sort of racist shit that the FBI and CIA have been saying behind the scenes for decades as they've looked for excuses to fuck minorities and reformists over. :(

Not at all contradicting you, though, roo! <3 We are definitely approaching a Level Boss here. Trump's gonna morph at least twice more before he goes down, and he probably ain't even the final one. :(

@Balinares @acetone_kitten What, the coyote reek wasn't a tipoff? I can smell it all the way from Louisiana! ❤️​♠️​

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, well... roo, you're lucky you're made of rubber and thus qualify as "toy" instead of "food." *totally unscary rowr and maybe some batting 'round*

@JulieSqveakaroo Once the human race managed to generate a CUTE threat to its existence, they were pretty much screwed. 😺​

Just be patient until around 2260 AD or so. Things will get better! And, um, if you could freeze a few hundred vials of tiger DNA right about nowthen (what is it there, 2020 or so?), we willam-on-having-been so very grateful.

TBH this doesn't fit my relative chipperness today at all, but I have sure been big-mooding this song in general lately about Seattle, uspol, postfurry, and... associated topics. Especially that "waiting for the endgame" part.

Marigolds and tangerines,
I have dreamed an empty dream
I am slow and you are too, Someone tell me what to do

Lonely on a Wednesday
Lonely on a Friday
If I had to do it all again
I wouldn't

Throw it all away (x2)
I want a holiday (x2)

I'm tired of having no future
And I'm tired of pushing my luck
I'm tired of waiting for the endgame
Watching the stars turn black

this basically continues a habit from Peg's previous work that was one of the main things that endeared me to it:

we don't really talk about the weird gender stuff, not in the foreground. we never defend it. we never open it up for debate. it's just THERE. in the world context, it's been settled centuries ago and everybody takes it for granted. we won. nobody cares. it's just there.

it's an ideology-penetrating bullet. the audience is already hooked on the story by the time they're hit out of the blue with "oh btw carol has 3 parents and one's technically a tractor"-- or reread parallax, look up kirt's gender, and realize it's basically "malt and cloves"

Oh gosh. I'd forgotten JUST how prophetic ZBS Audio's "Ruby: The Adventures of a Galactic Gumshoe" was about Fully Automatic Luxury Gay Space Communism.

If you don't have time/interest in hearing the whole series (you DO, it's FANTASTIC), at least go look up "The Android Sisters" on Youtube. They're propagandtastic!

also it's gonna be so gay

i giggle madly every time i look at noa and wonder how many straight ppl are gonna look at them and assume they and kirt are a perfectly normal het couple

noa is VERY they— they're technically a blob of (adorable, hoofy) fungus, they basically look like passion fruit puree inside, their own culture's closest equivalent for Noa's "gender" is basically "peach and anise flavored," and their society's reproductive system is 100% fully bespoke and effectively handled at the planetary/elder level, ffs

@kelseyhusky @Leucrotta Heavy seconding here.

oh fuck

my comic is gonna be so pretty

just like its dragon mom

@Phorm @acetone_kitten @anthracite

I mean, I think Peg's pretty obviously the Wyrm. Just LOOK at her. And there's nothin' wyld about Canadians (or Lunarians), so I guess that's me. 🐯​

They're playing "All Star" at Monkey Monkey Cafe and now I'm starting to wonder if I did something to offend them. I can not interpret this as anything but a personal affront, except possibly a general affront to humanity.

I mean, there may still be a universe in which this song is enjoyable, but it would have to be a parallel in which human civilization somehow bothered to invent Smash Mouth yet somehow did not invent the film trailer.

(And it was Anthy, Acey, and me, respectively, in case you were curious. Me. Tiger cut thread. *bares claws* Swish swish.)

@acetone_kitten @anthracite

I am SO HORKED OFF that nobody ever said this to @acetone_kitten @anthracite and me when we were all dating.

The compulsive nattering part of my thoughtstream has been absolutely FIXATED on filking "Holland 1945" by Neutral Milk Hotel of all the dang things. It's a sad and poignant song, borderline sacred, and not the sort of thing that I would ever fuck around with lightly or deliberately.

On the other hand, my feverish brain did hatch out the line "feeding spaghetti to Ving Rhames" and I'm forced to admit that's pretty good. *blush* Still ain't gonna complete it, thanks...

(...unless you make a "swallowing pride" joke about that next to last one, in which case your life is forfeit unto me >_< )

@Leucrotta Applying the commutative principle to that, Weird Al, and Oscar Mayer, we get:

"My Godzilla has a first name, it's K-A-I-J-U..."

@anthracite Yup, that's organized religion, all right. >_<
