Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 16hDrawing a bunch of #dnd barbarians & fighters and realized I drew almost all of them covered with scars. Why are there not more scars on typical D&D character portraits? Or maybe there are a ton and I’m just missing them 251

Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Drawing a bunch of stick figure skeletons and zombies. You may guess for what 051
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It iiiiis also an objective problem that she becomes so into the drawing part she takes forever and is slow on the other homework 😅 110
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Our daughter (6) is of an age when she gets homework that combines drawing & other skills (“write these words then draw them”). But like me she has a problem with excess detail to the point her teacher writes notes “dont draw so much”! 😓 If you don’t want a complex drawing dont ask for a drawing!! 190
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026? I mean, these states have comparable shameful histories, but they act pretty differently in the present. 020
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Agree 100%. I don’t personally like using the term Zionism when arguing this stuff because I think it summons up racist associations (even though there are self-identified Zionists who use the term). But Israel as it exists is indefensible so call it what you will 020

Reposted by Jason Bradley ThompsonGeneral Curtis LeMayfield, Esq. @curtis-lemayfield.bsky.social · 05/10/2026In the same boat. Saw the Thing, Poltergeist, Jaws, Alligator, Alien, Sword and the Sorcerer, Conan the barbarian, Sorceress, all of that stuff in the theater or the drive-in. Almost all of those before I was 10 or 11. The most traumatic shit was on tv - Threads and The Day After. Awesome childhood. 132
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If anyone has ever wondered about my “sure, why would anyone object to that” attitude towards horror & graphic violence, welcome to my reality 111
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Also watched “Poltergeist” in the theater at age… wtf, I was 7?? Or was it a revival after the original 1982 theatrical run? Anyway I was prepubescent. But I managed to survive this one by closing my eyes for large portions of the movie 101
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Also horrific!!! 😱 but I was in college when I read that I think 010
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026At 10-11 also watched the 1945 “Picture of Dorian Gray” movie and ran away crying at the scare scene 100
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Since earliest childhood I’ve wanted scary stuff and I got it 100
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I also read George RR Martin’s “The Monkey Treatment” (another body horror story) at about age 10-11. I threw the book behind a wall wardrobe so I could never see it again 211
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Probably “Alien” (the movie) which I was obsessed with watching and watched on HBO at about age 10. I couldn’t make it past the robot scene! In terms of media actually intended for kids, the terrifying poem “Herbert Glerbett” by Jack Prelutsky where a child melts into a blob. Major cry-a-thon 152

Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Obviously of course I am also not using my real personal-info/phone when counter-harassing these businesses 011
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Repeat my usual question about many stupid modern things I dont understand: why would anyone think this is a good idea If it’s a garbage business like cheap viagra then obviously they have nothing to lose. But some of these links appear to lead to real businesses 101
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s weird when real businesses (apparently) pay for spam comments with a link to improve their SEO? I immediately delete the comment of course and I have also more than once gone to their website and sent them a form/email telling them to f*ck off 171
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026One of the many good throwaway bits in “Obsession,” a movie of bits, is when the characters speculate the female lead is acting weird because she’s just on ecstasy. This is accurate 🤪 021
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Not in a rip-off way. To say more would be a spoiler 020
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is pretty disgusting of her. Thank you for sharing this 011
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026“Backrooms”: did anyone else notice that the director said he is a huge fan of “Attack on Titan” and when you see the whole movie the influence is obvious 232
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Oh lastly, I love that someone at HBO did a Backrooms-specific HBO logo opening sequence for the HBO version of “Backrooms.” 😂 Too bad we have to close our HBO account soon now that it’s owned by that bigot Larry Ellison 031
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The idea of Backrooms as sorta a procedurally-generated infinite Roguelike glitch-world is so cool, & it’s cool that the movie plays this for horror, since in games it’s just taken for granted! 🤪 The childhood trauma aspect & evil megacorp aspect are more familiar… but the movie is so good it’s fine 131
Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026“Backrooms”: Excellent movie, so creepy, great environments. I like a horror film which is about exploration (you go into the horror instead of it coming to you) and has a sci-fi element. The evil-corporation aspect is kinda a half-baked trope but it’s brief. Wonder how the sequel will turn out… 161

Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Backrooms: still need to finish this movie (limited time) but so far I love it so much. And it is so relevant 🤪 to #ttrpg dungeons! Such a rare pleasure to watch a horror movie which is about exploring a space. It’s even in the lower level of the “dungeon” where things start to get really bad… 061

Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Hmm, doing an illustration of B1 would be fun but a a little tricky because the monsters arent placed on the map (iirc). I would have to decide what rooms they go in and who’s in the rooms… which would be a cool opportunity, but different from the nebulous DIY nature of the original module..! 🤔 110
