The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am
A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

In the mean time, there's a whole lot more Fermi adventures for you to read, which @flight-elements.bsky.social has described as "Farscape x Community" and @unamccormack.bsky.social says "teem with science-fictional inventiveness and clear-eyed social commentary." chrisfarnell.com/fermis-progr...

Fermi's Progress by Chris Farnell - Scarlet Ferret Books
The Fermi is the Earth's first and last faster-than-light-spaceship. The last, because it turns out its engine vaporises entire star systems in its wake. And nobody knows how to turn it off.

@flight-elements.bsky.social just finished Origin Complex. At many times during my reading, I paused to think "damn, this dude can write". So I'm letting you know.

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

Was feeling melancholy, but then I dug up Theoden with an undercut from my vault of memes
Memes image of Aragorn and Theoden with undercuts and earrings saying "Chat, the beacon notification just hit. Gondor's asking for a carry" and "Say less."

Happy Easter!
Title: Hunting for Easter eggs with Werner Herzog

Panel one: Werner goes out looking for eggs saying “I despise this idiotic sanitized ritual, and yet I am unwilling to return home eggless”

Panel two: Werner stands before an egg on the ground “The joy of discovery rings hollow against the monumental indifference of the universe”

Panel three: Werner carries an egg “what, other than regret, can hatch from this empty chocolate vessel”

I have a traditional view of mirage. It should be between one man and one nameless, alien expanse, older than Memphis and Babylon, beneath which stretches a long dark of tomb-cities built by inhuman hands and above which turn baleful constellations of piercing, frightful colour.

It is not enough for Churchill to be replaced on the £5. We must also replace his statue with something that can truly unite the country at this difficult time. Sign the petition here: www.change.org/p/uk-parliam...

If you're writing about or designing spaceships, particularly spaceships exploring strange alien worlds, the first thing you should look into is mobile Arctic research stations. There is no closer realworld equivalent.

Bring back proper railway branding, cowards!
The badge of the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company. Surrounded by an ouroboros, a skull and crossbones sits above an hourglass and the motto "Mortus quies vivis salus". I washed out of Latin shortly after discovering Caecilius was in the fucking horto, but think it's loosely "peace for the dead, safety for the living".

The whole design looks like it was outsourced to a 13yo metal fan, tbh.

Tumblr post that says "i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point. you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling"

The elf on our shelf has a rather specific mandate.
A bright red-and-white striped Christmas elf sits on a shelf, next to an embroidered sign which reads 'PLEASE DON'T DO COKE IN THE BATHROOM'. 

(Coke can be done elsewhere without issue.)

So obviously the deeper you get into the manuscript, the more moving parts there are, the harder it is to edit. Obviously. This all makes sense. But also, y it so harrrrrd. :(
