Scheduled a hysterectomy to yeet the cancer into the sun! But it's the day before Halloween, and I figured I might be recovering from surgery then, so I put together a simple Giratina gijinka outfit. My LGS is doing bonus points for a weekly event if you come in costume, and I am stubborn :I

Reality Fracture is Vraska taking Jace out behind the barn for posting a link to his Ao3 account. Anyway, Partnerguy and I are going to a prerelease tonight. My years of dunking on Jace are very likely going to come back as pulling straight garbage :V

The more I keep up with current events, the more I'm glad I named the main party in my project "Professional Losers." I'll never find the post again, but I read something like, "It was always more fun just playing sports as kid when we weren't worried about winning" and I thought about it a lot.

@impistry.com Hello! My brain's soup so I don't remember much, but I think I remember you showing me Numskull back when you were first designing him! I'm glad you seem to be doing well! (I don't remember which screen name you or I had then, sorry if this is super awkward!)

It's 92°F inside even at night. Haven't been able to sleep well for days, so, might as well futz around with brushes n stuff. Pine for the ocean, in which I will one day throw myself into again. It's so friggin' warm. #art #ocart #oc #ocsky

Portrait of a smiling woman looking down at the camera. She wears orange glasses and a red swimsuit, and her messy white hair is pulled into a long ponytail. Behind her is the ocean and clouds on the horizon. She definitely forgot sunscreen. Lobster time is imminent.

Today on I'm not cut out for social media: I woke up to a follow by a "generative artist" and it made being out in e-public click in a way that's "horror of being known"-flavored. I'm not gonna stop postin' sketches but ough, what an uncomfortable feeling.

i must not fear The Project

tumblr post by gailynovelry:
"The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project."

Confirmed endometrial cancer today, but it's early, so it's probably treatable. Hysterectomy still definitely on the table, and major surgery recovery would suck. Either way, I have a weird motivation for my project. Starting scripting while my partner helps with some technical stuff :V

@warframe.com A fellow Tenno stole my skin; I don't think this is how Transference is supposed to work for us. (But no like we have no idea how we managed a bug where both our frames got stunned and he was running around my orbiter as my drifter with an invisible gun.)

Warframe screenshot in which my friend is possessing my drifter while we're in my orbiter and I'm frozen entirely in place as Nidus. Drifter is holding an invisible pistol so it looks like they're holding Nidus. Not pictured, another friend contemplating Green Stalker Floof.

I'm like 5 whole monkies deep with how many paws seem to curl for me. They found cancer in my uterus, and istg if this leads to a hysterectomy and double mastectomy it's gonna be the most cursed possible way to deal with some of my crippling dysphoria :^)

I think I'm forgetful because I'm both prone to overthinking and getting horrifically sad, so even fun things I wanted to do get tossed Anyway, that EDH League my LGS was running wound up agreeing that Spellbook is bad for bracket assignments after bullying me into tears for saying as much :^)

WIP for a goofy thing I'm working on for practice for my project Major is important characters, minor is supporting NPCs and critters My screen name is an old Persona 3 joke. It was bound to happen eventually

A card with a 0 in the top right, stylized as a black hole. The bottom left has a bolt with The Fool written next to it. The image on the card is a woman with long white hair, a serious expression, and holding a pitch-black halberd. Behind her is a shattered image with silhouettes of people and a burning building.

Absolutely hate doing stuff like this because I want to help people, not need help, but there's a handful of people that'd be extremely sad if my health gets bad again, so, I guess this is more so they won't have to worry about me ko-fi.com/thanatoaster...

A good friend is planning on running a PTU game soonish! We're allowed 2 Pokémon to start with, and it's gonna be sorta exploration-survival-ey, so I'm playing my moody bartender to handle cooking :V He's getting an Audino and Indeedee to help with chores, and he's gonna throw hands in battles :')

Sketch of three characters in mono-color fill. The two on either side are an Audino and Indeedee, and the one in the middle is a man with an eyepatch and long, unkempt hair hugging his knees and staring tiredly downwards

Person holding a small lil dude like a cat or small dog. The lil dude looks very grumpy, and there's text reading, "I keep seeing people say that being super excited about your own projects and characters is infectious, but this lil guy is old enough irl to vote, and probably doesn't need attention."

To the side, in parentheses, it reads, "He would write in Vermin Supreme on everything."

We don't get to play much, since two of the three players in the game have gnarly health problems, but it's fun when we actually get to play :'D (It's just us and the GM stringing together bits, but it's fun) #oc #ocart #art #sketch #pf2e #ttrpg

An elf woman and construct stand next to each other, both grinning with blue goo on their hands. The top says WIZARD SLIME and has a textbox with the effects of Prestidigitation in Pathfinder 2nd Edition screenshotted, with the words "made of congealed magical substance" highlighted in green.

So many people, even near-strangers, tell me that things will work out because I genuinely love other people and refuse to be bitter. I've had people tell me it was refreshing to talk because it gave them some sort of hope. I feel stupid for believing them at this point. I want things to be better.

Things have been rough again, so a friend gave me the most cursed encouragement for working on my project. "You know, if the power scalers ever get a hold of your project, they're going to argue whether or not Lens has toon force." She's very sure I'll finish it, which is cool. But like c'mon

I love having an autistic meltdown augmented with a flashback episode and everyone winds up thinking I'm a dick because I'm trying to get clarification about two conflicting sets of rules and starting to bug out because no one understands me.

@commanderspellbook.com Hello! Sorry to bother, but would y'all suggest y'all's database be used as hard-and-fast rules to determine a deck's bracket? LGS is setting up a B3 league and our TO might be driving people away from the event :X (also, thanks for doing all this as volunteers! It's rad)

Thanatoaster @rthanatoaster.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

My LGS is starting up an EDH league! It's for a semi-competitive B3 group, so I wanted to test my Myrkul build! The TO's using EDHREC to judge brackets, and Myrkul trips over a lot of B4 combos. But Avacyn+Worldslayer is B3! Judge made it clear he wouldn't use context or nuance for deck checks :)

English always feels like a terrible language to communicate emotions with. I don't know if any other languages are better, but metaphors and images feel more meaningful than saying you're sad or depressed. Anyways, chemical depression sucks. I work hard to stay in a good mood despite reality :I

It's been a minute since I was 99% sure an LGS guy was misogynistic. Got in an argument over MTG's bracket system (treating it like a rubric defeats the purpose!) and this 44 year old child tries to ask how long I've played as a gotcha (since original Mirrodin) and then pivots to "well I play cEDH."
