Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me. azhdarchid.com/so-you-want-...

it’s always a lovely day when people realize weirdos are the backbone of any fandom and trying to make everyone “normal” kills everything enjoyable about it. fandom wouldn’t exist if people could be normal about things.

I know im a spiral girlie but sometimes I do truly think I'd end up more of an End Avatar

Concept: Narrative game where the main affordance is browsing a recreation of the Etsy UI and paying witches to put various curses on your various enemies, the results of which you see through social media posts

London Day 1: Opening day of "Costume Couture: Sixty Years of Cosprop" at the Fashion + Textile Museum! John Bright opened up his vault of greatest hits from the costume house behind everybody's favorite period dramas, including my very favorite:

I think a problem that has occurred is that 'generative AI' is a harmful, socially corrosive technology that a lot of people instinctively realized is toxic but we do not have the frameworks to talk about that, conceptually, because we live at the end of a 200 year project of industrial optimism

i think no matter which way the pendulum swings, people having access to media creators online is fundmanetally a mistake

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

is there any greater joy than having a cat seek you out and curl up on you

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

you can spin literally any sexual image as noncon or dubcon if someone dislikes you enough and wants your account banned. that will only be used as another tool ppl can use for harassment, not keeping blsky a sexually safe space

Another artist told me once to go see the full-size Muchas because you can see all the errors. I did and damned if she wasn’t right. It was a weird relief.

Like when you just make these kinds of changed unbidden for no apparent reason it just sounds like you have a 2-3 year plan of eventually banning porn off the platform entirely

More games should let you be fat. I'm tired of character creators with all skinny models. Let's get some meat on those bones.

Over the past few months I've gotten a few informal questions about helping others with writing craft on a 1-on-1 basis. I'm not sure how much real interest is there, so I'm experimentally advertising tutoring/portfolio review services. azhdarchid.com/opening-up-s...

people will tell you they don't understand gender fluidity then look right at a ship called the Edmund Fitzgerald and call it "her" without missing a beat

I dream to be one of those people who make fancy themed courses to match with a movie watch

I love seeing queer artists draw bodies. Queer attraction and beauty has such range to it, and I love seeing body types and parts that we've been told are ugly drawn with such care. I love getting to see the body from so many different perspectives

peope keep sending me that awful new wuthering heights corset clip....enough... i know... ITS TERRIBLE

pulls out a gass of white wine and puts Go Go Juice on

you have to be PRO- "sexual gratification" in media. you have to be pro "sexual gratification" PERIOD. they are using it as a wedge issue RIGHT NOW. it is WEIRDER and a bigger violation of autonomy and consent that people try to police your own gratification, than whatever stuff you get off to.

Sometimes i think on the past and im like "i should have done x then" or "i should have behaved in y way/said something else instead" but i have to remember i was Younger Then. and didnt know the things i know now

Mimi photo dump

"shouldn't that be naturally gluten free? This label is stupid" You think that but some companies literally spray wheat starch as a non clumping agent on dried fruit, and nobody has to disclose whether that shiny crisp apple has wheat additive in the protective wax.

similarly, anything that apologizes for being whatever it is will be bad. if you’re going “yes, horror/romance/fanfiction/whatever is shallow and trashy but i’m going to make one that’s actually good” i know i’m going to see the worst thing ever made

generally, anything made to be anti-genre is inevitably terrible. it has nothing to say except that the genre is bad and it usually doesn’t actually know the genre well enough to insightfully criticize it, so you get petty humor at the genre’s expense, but not any conversation with its real flaws

my tabs rn

recently i saw people on here talking about how you can tell a lot about people from whether they can be normal about things they dislike and that’s true but i think it’s dual because you can also tell a lot about people from whether they can be normal about people disliking things they like

Went to Baltimore on wplace out of curiosity

How To Write Non-Con in a God Honoring Way

It's not that bad. August 6th, 2025. #PerformanceArt by yours truly. Medium chosen was my 50 minute nosebleed, and the enamel bathtub. This piece was made in reaction to my doctors dismissing many of my medical concerns over the years, especially my #ChronicIllness and nosebleeds

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

used to be we’d post things like “i’ll make my own internet with blackjack and hookers” and people would roll their eyes at the futurama quote , but now it is becoming clear that Bender was truly an oracle

i will complain about mimis constant meowing for food but i am always pleased my 14 year old baby is still so comitted to eating

silly mood

As expected seeing ppl backpedaling on the itch thing now that there's a list of the unacceptable content and it includes stuff that's "too gross" It's all of us or none of us. Our enemies have made that clear. I would rather work side by side with a freak than with a fascist.

unless someone is publishing their ex-partner's nudes in the form of a visual novel, a thing I do not believe has ever happened, what the fuck kind of game isn't 'consensual'?

my desperate want to do some more baking vs the reality of this heatwave meaning anythin ill try to make will fall apart chemically

Happy Disability Pride Month! It's the perfect time to release my carbon fibre foldable walking sticks! They're available in 3 patterns and with an add-on (quad tip). They have a weight capacity of 330lbs. Works for people 5ft - 6ft2. High quality and affordable! Details below!

If you loved an author’s book, tell them! They will completely ignore it because they’re fixated forever on the anonymous person who once gave them two stars on goodreads but it’s probably good for your karma

its so funny the difference between tma fandom folks vs those who just know me in flondon. because flondon folks think im intimidating where i remember yall are half like 'prophet is like a little baby' the last time that intimidation ask game came around akfkgkhjk

now of all times is a time to listen to Tom Lehrer's 'Smut' www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaHD...

Tom Lehrer :(

Oh no. Tom Lehrer gone. At his great age, it’s not a tragedy, I know, but it just does feel bad not having his genius in the world.

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save. Save the png and repost as widely as you can

i do not share the author's barely disguised fetish but i will defend to the death their right to publish it
