Adoration

One last thing before I clock out for a couple weeks. Frankenstein 科学怪人 poster I did a few months back for CODA's Universal Monsters Gallery Show opening tonight in Los Angeles, CA and in Austin, TX. Check it out if you're in either city! Thanks as always to CODA for having me~

That’s it! I’m gettin’ me mallet!

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

I feel crazy when I speak to anyone who doesn't know what's happening in the world around them. They live in their own safe little bubble, completely and willingly oblivious. I can't respect it, and no one should.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

up in heaven after the rapture i just saw god take a tylenol

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

To me, the issue is that you cannot apply the concept of consent to fiction because consent requires consciousness. Fiction is not conscious. The characters do not actually exist. So how is there any determination of consent? Bsky has not defined this in the ToS update. #bskycensorship

it's that time of year

My least favorite horror author is probably Richard Scarry. Despite his pen name, his work is just not that frightening. I read all those Busy World books and I only screamed like twice.

i'm reminded of this whenever i see people upset about nobody properly tagging. when we do properly tag, you get upset anyway because you saw the tag. but if we don't tag, you apparently don't even recognize it as upsetting. this is why you can't police consent in art.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Why do we treat all creatives like they want to actually experience the things they create? What's the point of imagination if it has to reflect reality? Do you think everyone who's written a horror story or drawn a scary picture wants to go out and kill people for real? Use your brain.

this exists it is called thinking

GOD fascism is boring

Every time I draw cartoon characters punching each other’s lights out, I’m actually encouraging and also literally doing violence. If I draw the Baba Yaga eating a baby, I’m literally advocating cannibalism and also doing meal-planning. Were Bluesky’s guidelines written by twelve-year-olds?

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.
