I don’t normally do this, but I came out as non-binary at work and they cut my hours so that i’m now losing $60 a week. i put in my 2 weeks and am looking for a job, but haven’t gotten any offers yet and i’m worried i’ll be in between work for a bit and unable to pay for groceries. because of this, i’m opening commissions! i will crochet anything as long as there’s a pattern available, and am opening physical art commissions as well, offering oil paintings, pen drawings, graphite drawings, and charcoal drawings. on top of that, i have a vast expanse of photography and mixed media art projects that i am happy to send digital copies of for a small fee or send physical prints for a little bit more!
Locked in for a few days straight and emerged with 21~ pages of MYTH transcribed. Every song, every story, every monologue -- the only thing it's missing is the appendix, which I will probably... append.
Individual pages are under the cut -- it's a long post, so be warned!
Some notes:
In order to fill space and fit the kind of formatting I was going for, most stories (that we don't have the full versions of, so afaik all excluding five and six) have paragraphs of improvised flavour text -- so they are nowhere near fully canon!
There are a few other spots where I just used random words/phrases/quotes as flavour text. My BLUE AND BLACK FROM EDGE TO EDGE page uses an excerpt from deltarune that I quite liked.
Everything on these pages is handmade! The writing and illustrations were just done with pencil/pens I had on hand, and i used a typewriter for all of the print-y sections (e.g. all of the stories are typed out, plus the lighthouse audiobook).
This was a learning experience, and BOY is it ever scuffed -- but I'm happy with that! It was an insanely fun project to work on, and one I can wholly recommend to anyone with the time/resources for it.
In case tumblr massacres the quality, I also have a google drive link with all of the individual pages.

All in all I can certifiably say that i am Very Normal About MYTH By TheNarcissistCookbook And Everybody Should Listen To It Forever.
idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.
Definitely dont put sugar in the gas tanks. That'll warrant a full engine rebuild. I repeat. If an ICE vehicle has an accessible gas cap ☆DO NOT☆ pour sugar in the tank.
If you do ever 100% NEED to put sugar in someone's gas tank, make sure it's granulated and solid; that kind of sugar is caught by the filters in a gas tank and doesn't dissolve in water, and thus can't cause serious damage. NEVER pour simple syrup or a sugary drink into a gas tank, it could get you into lots of legal and financial trouble!
Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen
“These artifacts were excavated by archaeologists from a burial site in the 1970’s. The remains were returned for reinterment” Okay cool, cool cool. So you just, like. Dug up the grave of a respected family member, stripped them naked, mailed their body back to their family and kept everything they were lovingly put to rest in. Like a graverobbing bastard
Reminds me of the time when of the elders from my hometown started touching a totem pole in the Museum of Anthropology out at UBC and got yelled at by the staff, only to tell him that the pole had been stolen off of the front of her bighouse when she was ten years old.
Museum collectors did the equivalent of kidnapping a family member when they were away fishing.
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act requires all institutions that receive federal funding to repatriate remains and artifacts so if you can identify the source of something on display absolutely get a hold of that institute’s repatriation office
It's scary to be transgender in the world right now but if you're transgender I love you and we have to stick together and keep fighting and keep living and keep loving
shoutout to the guy who ran for "class president" (not a real role at this school) in 7th grade and just put up posters everywhere about how he would bring steam powered rail back. no other policy. hope you're doing well.
