Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@spottyfox this is the Queen of Takes <3

@treaclewasps i mean, it's in a general field of human endeavor i didn't care much about to start with and will be quite happy when it stops being a thing :)

@Austin_Dern that is certainly in alignment with the better spirits of the novel, yes and hail eris

but the original is still somewhat worth reading even if only just for the HILARIOUS UTTER CLOTHESLINING Wilson and Shea give to Atlas Shrugged (aka "Telemachus Sneezed.") XD

@Austin_Dern The real joke of course is that unlike The Treachery of Images, this actually IS what it says it isn't.

Or at least that is the joke I choose.

@Austin_Dern You're [a[ way off and [b] much better off continuing with your current impression anyhow. :D

(hoo lordy parts of the trilogy have NOT AGED WELL. one word for those in the know: "Mavis." *sigh*)

there is a thing that i have ardently stopped caring about just now and quite suddenly and finally

it is not a person

but it is not something that will make you happier if i tell you i really have entirely stopped giving a shit about it

there is nothing i can do about it but this

so i leave this marker in the dirt

...but it's one of those "tiger markers" if you know what i mean so you might want to step around it anyhow

this is just a faintly more satisfying solution than doing nothing at all

you know -- poopin on it

sorry folks, the rain should get it in a couple days

@Austin_Dern Why, are you concerned your dog isn't getting enough cheese?

@anthracite YES

@woozle No one knows who they were or what they were doing...

@Balina I have always appreciated the fae's dark sense of humor, if only when the dark things are happening to them. 😽

(Some other time I'll tell you about the PC I have in store for a friend's Eberron campaign. Basically Sterling Archer as a self-loathing drunken elf assassin with a bossy demilich mom... I have put SO MUCH THOUGHT into anti-elf slurs over the last year because of him. XD )​

@Austin_Dern oh crap if i'd known that i'd have put more effort into filking it 😅​ go ahead though, i am flattered!

@Balina This is said purely in the spirit of Furry Kayfabe and my notorious IC loathing of elves and fae, but...

"Good. Let us cats know if you ever need any help."

(I can't help it. @anthracite can tell you about the Zotz Cafe and my ongoing rivalry with their #$!#$!# faerie population. 😾​)

@Austin_Dern Oily pelt... fishy breath... a sleek wavetrain with minimum brain... who'll snug you to death... Smooth Otterator! Smooth Otterator!

@hystericempress The good news, sis? People in actual power are starting to have exactly the same thoughts as you (and me)...

@Owlor @KinkyTurtle @Austin_Dern I scened with Dragonfly on Tapestries once. It was... a hell of a thing.

@Austin_Dern That's weird, I was doing a basic "what happened to dragonfly from latex blue" search the other day for ABSOLUTELY NO EXTERNAL REASON
