ARAGORN: You have my sword. GIMLI: And my axe! BILL: And my saxophone! COUNCIL: …um. ELROND: Wtf, Glorfindel, you were supposed to be watching the doors, you KNOW how I feel about this guy

LRP: reading the Polar Express on Christmas Eve was my family’s most enduring holiday tradition. We eventually got a train set to go around the tree that looked just like it. The movie was soulless. It’s sad to think that even something made from human hands could resemble AI slop that isn’t.

I was just reminded of one of the dummest things I ever saw. It was Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks doing publicity for Polar Express and they wanted to be very clear: people would probably still make movies like they did in the old days but going forward movies would mostly be like Polar Express.

I fell asleep partway through the first watch of Legend, so we’re watching it again! I already love the composition and color direction, the opening scene is like watching a storybook.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I hope you appreciate the work bench festive setting my dad put together for his latest batch of carvings. Going live in his shop tomorrow..! 👁️ wellswoodcarving.bigcartel.com

Had a jumpscare from a M*djourney shill liking my stuff, had to draw a hard line in the sand on my profile about GenAI bullshit.

Since it's CSP Login Bonus time, just casually dropping the brushes I use in the asset store (worth 2 days of logging in) assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail...

Hi, Mohammed's friend here. Today he sent me these before-and-after photos of his little farm. I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as me. Please share and donate if you can. I know he's truly grateful for your continued support even through his current absence. chuffed.org/project/help...

I think it's kind of beautiful that this was Rob Reiner's final line on television

Man, fuck 2025.

I truly, deeply believe with all my heart, that everyone on this bitch of an earth should make at least one zine in their lifetime. It’s good for your soul.

And I bet some are grinding their own pigments, priming panels with marble dust gesso and the whole nine yards too.

I’m thrilled that Dick Van Dyke made it to 100 years old, and I also find it hilarious that he’s apparently too old to play with LEGO. Him specifically.😆

Part of the reason I set up this alt for art (whatever I have time to finish anyway) is because I want to enjoy making it again. Certain people in my life have hung too many expectations, including their own self image, onto my creativity and it has collapsed under the weight.

Experimenting with ways to capture The Void

Does this mean he’s a threatened ecosystem

Just a reminder that for most people, if you can’t afford or don’t have time to get your titers checked, you can just go straight to the booster. You should consult with a doctor first is if you have a health issue that contraindicates it, but otherwise, do what you’ve got to to get the shot.

Noooo, one of my favorite little indie games is getting delisted from all platforms because the studio is disbanding. Highly recommend picking it up for less than a dollar while you still can store.steampowered.com/app/523210/A...

Transphobes are miserable people who constantly need someone to crush into the ground. No matter how many vicious political takedowns they score against the current target, it won’t ever be enough. They just turn to the next vulnerable group, over and over.

Remembering one of the HORROR legends on his birthday, the great, late TONY TODD. We miss you, Tony. 🖤

TL;DR please sometimes choose violence as a treat

After finals are over I’m dropping a box in front of my comic collection and taking a deep breath + power stance. Time to clean house.

Thank you for sharing this, it makes me appreciate watercolor comic artists who are decent people (and more deserving of my $$) all the more. Time to donate my Blacksad volumes to the (horribly underfunded) local library so people can read them for free!

Latest memory aid doodles. There are strict limits on what can go in them, so I have to get creative, these ones were especially entertaining.

Watching the new Deathstalker tonight! After the awful new War of the Worlds at yesterday’s weekly friend movie night, it’s nice to watch something made with passion lol.

Watching Good Boy tonight, it’s making me nostalgic about reading Beasts of Burden for the first time.

Today is a good day to buy my zine 💚

We’re ending a lovely thanksgiving by finally watching the original Wicker Man. It features Christopher Lee in drag, he did it for free, and he considered it his best film!

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

A completely inscrutable anime OVA from 1985 was in the US box office top 5 for a couple of days, congrats angels egg www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0208...

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

we saw Angel’s Egg on the big screen tonight!!!! i would like to live in these backgrounds, please and thank you

Can confirm: I saw Angel’s Egg today, and many artists would die happy if they could make something that inspired the range of vocal opinions, perspectives and debates overheard in the theater lobby afterward.

Alchemy Stickers WIP

Crunchy weirdos need to put down the true crime and read Cujo.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Tonight we’re watching the fourth Toxic Avenger. It…just keeps going.

Tonight we’re watching John Woo’s Hard Boiled. Reddit confirms: this movie fucking rules, so let’s goooooo
