since there are some more of y'all here I feel I should say: I'm an adult who regularly posts content intended for adults! in addition to a lot of comics and my cat I also sometimes post about things like sex and violence and taxes. i try to operate in good faith so feel free to say hi but I will not be getting into fandom arguments via my inbox 👍

i would not say grayson annual #3 is a GOOD comic but in the first 5 pages dick does get tied up in his underwear and sexily bitten by vampires who want to "taste his heat." which it turns out he allowed them to do so that he could get them to ingest his spy implants and blow them up. so who's to say what "quality storytelling" means

this is a great website to be on if you like people to explain your posts to you, badly and condescendingly

had a dream last night that in grief lionel messi turned into a pillar of salt. and we tilled him into the soil...

[megafaunatic]

workshopped this premise with the household and we agreed that this should be the central premise of a yaoibait sports anime titled

『PILLARS OF SALT』

where the best player* of the losing team in any given football** game should be turned into a pillar of salt. in this way the overall talent pool of football is both moderated (very talented players keep dying) and increasingly stratified (if one team keeps winning, their most talented players DON'T die, while all their possible opponents' most talented players keep getting picked off). this also introduces an interesting dynamic on any given team where you want to be a Very Good player, but perhaps not The Best player, just in case you lose.

obviously we follow some young powerscaling upstart as he rises precariously through the ranks. the tragedy at the end of act ii is that his team loses and the sweetieboy heart of the team***, the courfeyrac if you will, is unexpectedly declared the best player of the team and is turned into a pillar of salt. vengeance declared etc. eventually the story becomes one of dismantling this deranged sport entirely so that no more sweetieboys ever have to die

now obviously this is homoerotically charged (it's a sports anime) but it's NOT yaoi (it's more potent like this). in addition to whatever our hero is going thru, his team's coach is this like grizzled sports veteran whose Special Football Friend from his own career was turned into a pillar of salt at some pivotal moment of their youth. now he's having some sort of weird intense thing with the physical therapist*****

*- best player chosen through mysterious cosmic force or perhaps cold hard statistics?

**- or whatever sport i dont fucking care. i'm going for football for the sake of the post for obvious reasons but bee instinctively thought volleyball for equally obvious reasons

***- with whom, of course, our hero is homoerotically entangled****

****- cair has vetoed this element so strongly "you guys suck" - cair 2026 "i heart death and tragedy i heart guy grieving" - zoë 2026 "if we were clamp we would not last a single day" - cair

*****- this is not inspired by pivotal haikyuu ship iwaoi on account of i never read haikyuu and didnt know until this moment that one of them is a physical therapist at the end

reminder to all disabled people that you’re allowed to tell people “i can’t do that” about stuff you can ‘technically’ do but which harms you or requires a period of recovery or preparatory rest etc. you don’t have to explain the complex nuances of your condition to anybody who demands it. i’ve found it’s honestly better to give the least amount of info about your symptoms unless you trust a person a lot. you hold the power over your health information. you choose whether or not to share the details of your condition with people who might not understand.

cassie cain is special amidst bruce's children bc he didn't give her those daddy issues she came w them preinstalled

[stephexmachina]

bruce can do an unfathomably bad job at parenting her & he's still the better option. this is huge for him. no wonder it goes to his head

every step of benefits application processes in this fucking country is designed to make it as difficult and humiliating as possible. profoundly evil

CIL VI, 35887 = CLE 1532 = EDR120786:

Cara mieis vixi, virgo vitam reddidi. / Mortua heic ego sum et sum cinis, is cinis terrast. / Sein est terra dea, ego sum dea, mortua non sum. / Rogo te, hospes, noli ossa mea violare. / Mus vixit annos XIII.

Dear to mine I lived, life I left as a maiden. / Here I am dead and I am dust, and dust is earth. / And if Earth is a goddess, I am a goddess, I am not dead. / I ask you, stranger, do not wish to desecrate my bones. / Mus lived thirteen years.

a touching mixed-metre epitaph for a young girl: nearly identical verses appear in the epitaph of young Utilis (CIL VI, 29609 = CLE 974 = EDR144568), and both share a common theme with an epigram attributed to Pseudo-Epicharmus (D.L. Page, p. 154).

εἰμὶ νεκρός, νεκρὸς δὲ κόπρος, γῆ δ' ἡ κόπρος ἐστίν· / εἰ δ' ἡ γῆ θεός ἔστ', οὐ νεκρὸς ἀλλὰ θεός.

I am a corpse, a corpse is dung, and earth is dung too; / and if Earth is a god, I am not a corpse but a god.
