i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

there is no greater form of intimacy in this world than having a DM create a looney tunes trap specifically honed to target your personal traits and flaws and then having them watch you run into it and explode every single time

Masterpiece song IMO - Dionysian in a literal sense, surreal, drowning in abundance, grotesque and beautiful...feels like you're listening from inside a dripping cavern or listening to the last few drips of liquor pour, and the prose at the end is metal as fuck www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zEQ...

took an impromptu three day weekend, got 9 hours of sleep, suddenly churned out writing plans I haven't been able to cough up in weeks, had an idea for a new print, cleaned my whole kitchen...has anyone heard of this happening before??? such mysteries abound, never to be solved by mere mortal minds

i know talking about AI is insanely oversaturated and there are no fresh takes so i come instead with a crumb of schadenfreude in the form of watching someone rapidly destroy their job because they're communicating every piece of feedback solely in 5 paragraph LLM outputs and everybody hates them

artist request simulator
it's a venn diagram of three overlapping circles. one says 'illustrator', one says 'designer', and one says 'tattoo artist'.

illustrator + tattoo artist = "can u do a logo"
tattoo artist + designer = "can u make my comic"
designer + illustrator = "can u draw a tattoo"

at the center where all three artists overlap: "i need a website"

Been getting a lot of positive feedback at work about how diplomatic I am and how well I give and receive feedback and I just wanna say THANKS, I've been running guilds for a decade now and nothing any of you can say or do will ever top the depths of human depravity I've witnessed in a video game

The downside(?) of the new hobby is a glut of offshoot prints that I don't know what to do with... they're not perfect, but I like them and can't bring myself to throw them away, but also I don't know that they're sell-worthy, either

Still haunted by the millennial-specific brand of overfamiliarity at the hotel where the staff asks why I'm in town and then just straight-up asks "Do we like the family?" like we've met up for mimosas and she isn't just handing me a keycard and telling me where the elevator is

In design, picking The Good Font is maybe 2% of the job - the rest is problem-solving, having plenty of tricks up your sleeve to draw from when you're being creative on demand, and acknowledging (begrudgingly, perhaps) that not every form of criticism you don't like to hear is invalid and wrong

a cool thing that's happening as I print more is seeing small imperfections and recognizing it as character, which is an idea that definitely has no greater implications whatsoever, nothing to see here!!!
