Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

this is the closest thing to a picture of a kitten holding still that we got, so you'll just have to deal <3

apologies for lack of kitten pics -- they're doing great, they're just at that stage where it's not apparently possible to take non-blurry photos XD

@JulieSqveakaroo Only their stylist knows for sure!

@joshua Right? EVERY LEOPARD ON EARTH should want to learn this trick.

furry artists? don't disappoint me here...

@001zlnv Worse. Louisiana Pizza Kitchen.

I just ordered lunch from one of those family restaurants whose slogan could be "It's food."

I got exactly what I should have expected for a place whose name fit the format "$US_STATE Pizza Kitchen."

@catoxis Whew, I'm glad it went fairly easy for ya!

quick kitty update:

things are relatively quiet and sugarfoot is adjusting well; we're just sitting here bracing for kittenpocalypse, probably gonna attach some boards to the kittenarium doors this weekend so they can't wriggle underneath and escape -- not long now, they're definitely toddling around and are, you know, clearly kittens and not rats or otters or something

i feel we had a really productive conversation

@zx3 YOU ONLY LIVE RICE

BASMATI ARE FOREVER

KERNEL NO (wait no that's corn)

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GRAIN

LIVE AND LET RICE

ON HER MAJESTY'S STARCHY SERVICE

THUNDERBRAN

AND...

FOR YOUR RICE ONLY

was anyone else kinda bummed by the absence of webby and the virtually indistinguishable characterization of gosalyn?

i would have loved them to portray gosalyn as a little bit less of an all-around Adventure Gal and more of a brash snarky little jock like she was in Darkwing.

webby is obsessive and daydreamy and versatile -- gos feels more like a little tank to me, all dex and no int, kinda more finn the human energy?

at least gos was a cynic in contrast to webby's chipperness but that's all i really see to distinguish them

@KitRedgrave Anyhow, yeah, I was really proud of that one. I have very little real math skill remaining but I'm a big math voyeur, and I love the places where math verges on philosophy, and then starts to verge on horror... The sort of math that keeps math professors up late at night. XD

I have a _weird_ almost mystical relationship with numbers that stems from my bit of OCD, and I wanted to capture just a little of that...

@KitRedgrave Thank you! Also, sorry @troodon, you got tagged into the previous draft of this due to a cut-and-paste error. XD

i'm just so proud that i came up with this character two years BEFORE the SCP was even a thing. i'm old school, this really owes more to rudy rucker and jeff noon. i love math horror and i wish i knew where to find more of it. :)

cripes i miss serenissima. she's kinda been stifled by the death of the MU* era since she's REAL hard to play anywhere else, and by the fact my main artwork of her is by someone i'm very Unhello with these days.

@Leucrotta @troodon Actually on reflection, that IS the sort of treasure that would attract SOME teams of 4-8 characters of levels 3-15.

But those teams of 4-8 characters of levels 3-15 would be the team of 4-8 characters of levels 3-15 equivalent of, say, us in high school versus everybody else in school. :p They'd be the adventuring equivalent of indie film fans. Which means they'd either be *real dangerous* or *real pathetic*, but either way you could probably talk 'em out of killing you.

i made linda belcher's voice actor cry tears of joy

i read linda belcher's mind and, for a tiny perfect second, played best friend to her when she needed it

i have never felt truly, honestly, authentically GAYER than i do at this moment 🌈​🦄​💖​🏰​🍾​

@Oneironott i think peg's habit of mangling it into something like "magickxqhjz" to mock its pretentiousness was one of the first things that made me fall in love with her <3

@chimerror i'm new at this but as a tiger i think i'm supposed to hate those guys?

go tigerbeams? or something?

i just sang the kittens a filk of Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" that was entirely about learning how to pee and poop and Sugarfoot is VERY nonplussed
