Just watched Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait Of Maurice Sendak. Felt like a railroad-spike was driven into my head; so Goddamn eye-opening.

Hi there, sorry to bother you, but have you heard of our Lord and Savior, Harlan Ellison?

If book piles were pin-models, this pile would be Bettie Page.

Happy birthday, my favorite queer deer!

Oh, I called dibs on that ass.

Me when they’re out of chipotle mayo. Also, the tiny demon is fucking cute. (Art by @rickgriffin.bsky.social)

Well, at least you don’t sound like a teenage crackhead, LIKE ME. (Art by @mhuyo.bsky.social)

For me, it’s the drive to create and exist in worlds greater than this pathetic reality.

If they do a voice-over for this, I’d play the roadkill. (Art by @beetlemoses.bsky.social)

Oh, if only. (Art by @mrlovenstein.bsky.social)

Please, anyone, save this poor woman.

Mood

May these lowlife fuckers get hit by a semi-truck. People like this don’t deserve the right to breathe air.

Same vibes. (Art by @0laffson.bsky.social)

Two things I would love to read if they EVER come into existence is a lebisan human x furry sci-fi webcomic by @rickgriffin.bsky.social or an urban fantasy short story collection by @victorlavalle.bsky.social. I would give my right arm for either one.

I’m stressed out, afraid for both my future and career, and losing hope that I’m worth anything. I want to create stories of fantasy and reality, about human people and human creatures, of the struggles of living and trying to survive. But right now, I feel like I’m the bottom of the barrel.

Say what you will about this gory but fantastic art-piece (which is a drawing by @rickgriffin.bsky.social of his character, Weasel, from his work, Dogmen), but it possibly helped inspire one of my most ambitious future projects; which I’ll hopefully send to be created by @glitchprod.com.

It’s the cutest shit like this that makes me realize there’re some things you can’t buy with money or gold. God, I need someone in my life…

This is god-tier luxury compared to places like Nobu and Hawaii. Christ, I (don’t at all) ask so little from this world. (Art by @0laffson.bsky.social)

Mel, you outdid yourself once more. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

Cheers to the spaceman! Happy birthday, @bogiperson.bsky.social!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, YA FLITHY ANIMALS!

Please, anyone, save these children from this fresh hell.

I have this anxious sense that I’ll never live up to my fullest expectations. I hope to become my generation’s Ray Bradbury, but I’m so afraid I’ll become an utter failure, and with my stories not being able to get published whatsoever, it seems like that. I’m really scared I’ll fail once more.

YES! With an incredible stroke of luck, I’ve found the PDF of the story, “The Man Who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore”, written by the unpredictable Harlan Ellison. Give it a read!

One of my favorite YouTube videos ever; Brandon Rogers is a comedy god.

Once again, I’m at a family party, and everyone’s acting like I don’t exist. Why I even come to these things, I’ll have no fucking clue.

I’d kill to see an 2D animated feature film of @ethanmaldridge.bsky.social’s Pale Queen, with Emma Stone as Agatha and Estelle or Tilda Swinton as The Lady of the Hills! Hell, I’ll do it myself if I have to! I NEED MY FUCKING SAPPHIC DARK FANTASY MOVIE NOW!!!

One of these days, I’m gonna finish that story I’ve been meaning to complete. It’s not much; basically Beauty and the Beast set in New York, but more emotional. I may finish it next year, but until then, here’s some images that inspired it. (Art by Eli Spencer and @caytlin.tamberlanecomic.com)

I don’t know what to tell ya, other than the fact that @aidosaur.bsky.social’s Barbarous is one of the best webcomic I’ve read! Holy shit, it’s gotta at least be the best romantic urban fantasy webcomic of all time; literally a modern version of Beauty and the Beast Just *chef kiss*

God bless this kind of heroes willing to risk their lives for these poor souls.

One last post for tonight and that’s it. One of my favorite graphic novel series when I was a middle-school lad (besides Cleopatra in Space and Dog Man) was Bird & Squirrel by @jamesburks.bsky.social. It was filled with humor, adventure, and strong emotion; the greatest thing I’ve ever read.

If @gailsimone.bsky.social ever leave Bluesky, it’ll truly be the end of days. Like “Mrs. Carmody controlling a paranoid grocery store during a Lovecraftian apocalypse” end of days.

This is the kind of guy who I’d LOVE to get coffee with and smoke a fat joint in the fields of South Dakota. (Art by the wonderful @w0lfertinger666.bsky.social)

She’s right; it’s fire. Please don’t bonk me with a squeaky-hammer.
