Remembering all the stuff I fucking hate about existing right now isn’t entirely a great replacement for the anxiety attack which woke me up, so here are awesome mushrooms I saw Sunday.

Before something set off all sorts of hypervigilence and negativity, I #colored a #drawing and was going to post it, so I think maybe I should go ahead and do that. #bskyart

I think I had someone just try to defraud my bank account. I tried to reach the bank or use their automated customer service and, of course, it's useless.

the urge to completely screw the tone of this transformation story/post by adding “blep”

I can't really judge myself by how the world treats me - some of it's under my control, but way less of the picture than I was trained. That's basically like judging myself harshly not only for being punched in the head, but also for being groggy rather than really capable afterwards.

reposting yesterday's colored work

unlike a lot of other artists where the songs that got all the air play are okay but not their best songs, I keep discovering Tom Petty songs which, by any rights, *should* have been all over the radio I hadn't heard youtu.be/4gBnTnZRneo before and it's an insta-favorite.

I'm very surprised, but relieved.

Took me this long to realize that in 40K, Ork technology (backed by belief, limited to what Orks consider useful) is a subtle dig at any idea the Imperium are "good guys"; humans also don't entirely understand their existing tech/don't especially innovate/use tech in only very limited applications.

* reads back * okay, I gotta check this * pulls the 2014 PHB from shelf * wait, halberds, pikes plus spears if you're generous and that's IT? Where's the VOULGE man, where's the fauchard-fork, where's all the love?

I have a big collection of old Dragon and Dungeon magazines, and a much smaller collection of old White Dwarfs, including issue 136 where they give you templates you can use to build your own Baneblade. As far as I know, the plans aren't scaled down and a 1989 vintage Baneblade is TINY.

What if all horns in world folklore (trolls etc) were based on being able to perceive higher areas of brain activity in response to ergotism? wow why would you even SAY something that stoned sounding?

some sorta weird anxiety attack, so an edible, and listening to Bombino's 2023 album, Sahel. It's so GOOD if you like the sort of dreamy, warm tone of a lot of North African rock.

the part where Gimli's head meets Balin's tombstone with a saddened KLANG!

GALADRIEL'S GIFT OF HAIR TO GIMLI/TOLKIEN EXPLAINED so elves are basically cats; lithe, graceful hunters with fine vision in the dark, so originally Cate Blanchett was going to meow "have some hair. haaaair" and huck up, but Jackson was worried this was too much like his old Meet the Feebles image

yes, Viggo Mortensen was eventually chosen over Peter Jackson's first choice for Aragorn, Christopher Walken, who would have made Lord of the Rings a very different series

Anyway, while my country continued to fall apart at the seams, I #colored a #drawing for the first time in forever. #bskyart

you fucking spineless shitwads, YOU get insurance like any Brit or Canuck or Kiwi but US peasants? FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

oh FUCK Y'ALL goddamn Nazi collaborators

* goes back in time to troll Gary Gygax by telling him that "Conan the Barbarian" was a great movie, and also that in 2025 people view the gender-swap "cursed" items as a wonderful boon, and there are only like 2 types of polearms in D&D *

to the tune of Mendelssohn's War March of the Priests, AGAIN it's DOCTOR PHIBES he is that DUDE who plays the ORGAN it's DOCTOR PHIBES yes DOCTOR PHIBES he BUILT all this AWESOME STUFF

Hi #portfolioday! I'm Graey, Fantasy/sci-fi Illustrator and Concept Artist. I've been working in #ttrpg and miniatures for the past 12 years, with a bit of video games visdev sprinkled in. Currently looking for studio work or contracts! (🧵1/?) ✉️ [email protected] 🎨 www.artstation.com/graeyerb

it's confusing to have "slans," "stans," "Slanns," and "Slaanesh" in the same science fiction category, mind if we call you Bruce to keep it clear?

@pyat.bsky.social whoa you were just saying

I really need to develop the sort of latex/pvc/etc kink that involves getting a wetsuit. That way, I can save money by combining wanting to be hot/have other people think I'm hot/paddle out/get dive certified.

A couple of days ago I hit this big but open ended realization and I really wish I had therapy to work with it.

ahem THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF MY COUSIN BALIN, AND THEY CALL IT A MINE. A MINE!

Transgender existence is big, dramatic, visual by comparison to the slow strangulation of everyone who isn’t already wealthy. With the added advantage that few in the audience have an opinion already and might leave. Of course media is going to hype even if we don’t assume more right wing bias!

OK, so one weird thing with my CPTSD is that the memory loss is inconsistent. I read a lot in high school and most of it is completely gone. Like I know, I read a batch of Dorothy L Sayers, but I could not tell you what happened in any of the Lord Peter Wimsy stories. 1/3

@dogblud.bsky.social hey it’s how Get of Fenris say hello!

da da da duh DUH DA DA duh DA DUH DA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EARTH IN THE TOWNSHIP OF BREE LIVED A BRAVE LITTLE HOBBIT WHO BADLY NEEDED A WEE WITH HIS LONG WOODEN PIPE AND HIS BEER ADDLED MIND HE’S WATERLOGGED WITH GUINESS CAUSE IT COMES IN PINTS

My Dad talking earlier about the Pocket Norway tour suggested the most minimalistic way to experience Finland. Show up in some dude’s dingy apartment, down half a bottle of vodka in an attempt to feel less depressed.

It’s CANADIAN chocolate! It’s better because it’s made with love AND FREQUENT APOLOGIES.

yuri describes any manga or anime about getting it on with Yuri Gagarin [as pronounced as by the late Sean Connery]

The new indy game AUTISTIC ASSAULT! Play through challenges like; there are lots of people talking on the bus! These hot dogs have a weird texture! Someone equally neurodiverse responds to the most interesting things about geared locomotives by simply WANDERING OFF, can they even do that?

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

ME: I want to charge aboard githyanki astral ship, cleaving skulls while howling bestial praise to the gods in a pop and Taco Bell fueled marathon session ME IN REALITY: I made a mug of my favorite tea and rp’ed a personal conversation about childhood, mentors and the military with the ranger.

Listened to Metallica’s AWESOMEST track for morale Also my favorite song on the Black Album. Not actually Of Wolf and Man.

today is my 28th birthday! as we all know, sharing artists’ work makes them very happy. thank you for all your continuing support and newfound friendships this year, it means the world to me.

a real pity Henny Youngman and Gary Oldman never appeared in the same film

I fail to see how smiling is gonna sell more stuff during a recession.

slips into your DMs with “Ushitora. Do you want to hire me? As your bodyguard? I get 5 ryo” and scratches frantically behind an ear

@viergacht.bsky.social so I thought of you.

The urge to interrupt a recording of Men of Harlech by shouting “uSuthu!” I do realize I’ve seen that movie more often than say, Michael Caine.
