He also illustrated the Shapes trilogy, which has a similar surreality to it. Honestly I deeply need more kids’ books to embrace these vibes

Reading Jon Klassen books to my daughter is my one of my favorite Parenting Activities so far. These are all so goddamn good / unsettling / leave so much for a kid (and grown up) to chew on.

a lot of parenting so far involves thinking up exciting new pitches to compel the child to do mundane tasks such as: “you can take a pumpkin to the bath. this pumpkin is uhhhh so dirty. it needs a bath just like you” and that’s why there’s a still a tub pumpkin this morning

When your big challenge right now is that you’re unsure “which worldview is most in need of criticism or opposition,” you are actually just a useless contrarian with no real conviction or beliefs whatsoever! Hope that helps etc

we are rewatching mad men during our parental leave and we finally got to lane pryce’s introduction in season 3. I am simultaneously overjoyed because he’s my favorite but also

This creature is still alive and it’s June (we really thought she was on her way out in late January). She is made of spite.

anyway here's "germanic warrior looking at a roman helmet," a masculine and morally pure painting with no further implications whatsoever. easily categorized: body positive, non-pornographic. if you thought about a blowjob while perceiving this, that's your fault, and you are a bad person

Germanic Warrior Looking At A Roman Helmet (1902), Osmar Schindler -- a painting where a strong dude is looking down at a helmet and thinking about manly things like murder and battles and war, and definitely not about getting sucked off by another man

if you believe these things are easily separated and categorized, i'm sorry, but you're either a child or a puritanical asshole. you are either a tiny intellectual baby or you are demonstrably aligned with "no sex till marriage" type rhetoric

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

i'm doing the campaign very late, and at the risk of being yelled at very loudly by night elf players: this is quite the statement coming from the elves whose many large, special trees have been the source of conflict uhhhh. repeatedly throughout most of azeroth's history

ha ha ha ha! what could i possibly be up to! is this an astalor/rommath fic? yes, but also no

A snippet of extremely indulgent World of Warcraft fanfiction that reads:

Rommath growled, shoving himself up from the table. A stack of papers spilled to the floor as he grabbed Astalor by the collar and threw him hard against the near wall, snarling, “I am not your plaything, Bloodsworn.”

“You wanted a report,” Astalor reasoned. “Is this not more desirable than anything I could commit to ink and paper? Your particular needs are not unknown to me, Rommath.”
