At The Almond Tree pub, we have fun. Sort of.

  Hi! We're the Regulars of The Almond Tree pub - it's frequented by mad scientists and mad science enthusiasts alike. We're kind of like the Society for Arcane Sciences, in that case! Drop by and ask us a question! (The Glass Scientists OC ask blog, run by the-lodgers-enthusiast)

in this fantasy world, theres no homophobia or sexism! but the governments are still patriarchal monarchies and everyone still adheres to the standard nuclear family, two things that have absolutely no relation to homophobia and sexism whatsoever

[regexkind]

I had an extended conversation with a swallowtail butterfly the other day and it told me—in not so many words—that it had a number of intensely violent sexual fantasies as a caterpillar, and that it no longer could relate to having had them, and that this discontinuity was like the itch of molting without anything to molt. Having never molted before, I couldn't relate

(ooc: i personally love when william is given every chance to squee over questionable science. please give more prompts regarding that, he needs to see an unethical study or two for his own enrichment.)

Do you happen to have any sandwiches? Having an eldritch horror fused to your soul is really exhausting sometimes and I could really use something to eat.

Harper: "Listen, I know you're always enthusiastic about mad science, but I really don't think it's the right time when someone's starving due to supernatural causes!"

Grye: "I'll only heed your advice once you stop asking me if I'm consorting with vampire covens."

[ask-the-regulars]

Both: "..."

Harper: "...Yeah, I think--"

Grye: "I've never been so amazed by anything in my life before..."

last night I felt I had to draw my OC glenn blackwhit again in this old outfit. lost motivation to finish the second sketch, but it goes to show how far my drawing style + understanding of my OC's appearance has come since then 💖

[ask-the-regulars]

(ooc: so it seems Glenn had a glow up over the past few years)

Left drawing: 2018-2019 ish Right drawing: 2024

[ask-the-regulars]

(ooc: do you ever realize that you're angrier than you thought you would be and you're actually more amenable to the thought of hurting other people than would be legally permissible. and does it eat you alive every day knowing that one day you could snap and no you don't wanna become a criminal. but you have a lot of anger stored inside you and you don't know where to put it because no one wants you to be angry and it's not good when you want to be kind to others. and you don't want others to think you're like a serial killer in the making cause you've heard all those horror stories. so you just push it down inside hoping no one will find out how violent you want to be after years of disregarding even the smallest bits of anger.

or is that really not something that happens to other people)
