my piece for @zineoftideandflesh 🦀 check out all the cool artists and writers here!!
love love love this composition. the weird clouds like river currents, the second crab-angel in shadow so its legs blend with the stilts of the cabin, paige all in white drawing your eye to the middle (and emphasising how totally out of place and unprepared she is for this stuff in S1!). great stuff, one of my faves from the zine

"The Long King says - why are you crying?"
A Day in the Life of the Brigadier
1 AM) Awoken by emergency call from Benton, commute to UNIT HQ to deal with issue of giant bats eating Londoners off the street. 2 AM) Argue with Doctor, who insists bats “can be reasoned with.” Leave UNIT HQ alongside UNIT squadron to resolve situation. 3 AM) Discover bats multiply threefold when struck by bullets. Doctor & Miss Grant arrive, despite being told to remain at the base, and implement sonic device which shrinks bats to normal size.

Black and white version under the cut, looking more like a vintage postcard, because I also really liked it ↓
sooooo evocative. look how the buildings spill out of her. it's all about bodies, in the end
“Was Shrue’s family real” is obviously never going to be answered because the point is we don’t know and neither do they… but I interpreted Shrue’s choice as a conscious decision to believe that they aren’t. They want to be good, and brave, and do the right thing, but The Silt Verses is about how that’s hard, and that comes with costs every time you try. And Shrue can’t commit, can’t bring themself to throw away their comfortable life and their safety, unless they convince themself that their family was never real anyway, that they don’t actually have a spouse and children to lose. In this way, they cut themself free to go all-in with the Wound Tree people. It’s a cowardly move! But also necessary for them to follow their convictions, because the shadow of family-as-coercion over them is so, so strong.
Paige stuck to her guns and lost her family. Carpenter stuck to her guns and lost her family over and over. Shrue can’t commit to risking that so they convince themself they don’t have a family to lose.
houston come in, the internet people are dropping banger takes that change my perspective on a show I spend 10% of my waking hours thinking about. we need to send them to the moon
have finally been getting round to listening to Eskew - I finished Ep 7 yesterday. you guys weren't kidding about the worms
trying to create an ebay account to sell smthn and tell me why I can't use my REAL LEGAL LAST NAME because it includes "dick" which ebay considers offensive
BUT THEN IN THEIR MISREPRESENTATION POLICY THEY SAY YOU CAN'T COLLECT MONEY TO A BANK ACCOUNT THAT'S NOT IN YOUR BUSINESS OR LEGAL NAME. BUT MY LEGAL NAME INCLUDES DICK, WHICH YOU CONSIDER OFFENSIVE.
the sanitization of the internet is so fucking stupid we live in the stupidest time
My filters could not have been funnier in this instance if I'd tried
MAG Avatar Fuckability Tier List
It’s here. You’re welcome. Avatars are ranked most fuckable (S Tier) to least fuckable (F Tier). They are also ranked within their respective tiers. In true Robert Smirke style, I will not be accepting criticism. Fight me.
S Tier
Have special traits that actively contribute to the sexual experience.
Daisy Tonner (Hunt) - excellent strength and stamina. Essentially has a werewolf form, and we all know how hot Tumblr gets for werewolves. Deserves the #1 spot.
Jared Hopworth (Flesh) - will mold his body into whatever shape you want. May also mold your body into whatever shape you want. Can help with your dysphoria, might steal your bones.
Annabelle Cane (Web) - if you’re into bondage. Webs that are never too tight or too loose, and that can move on their own.
Tom Han (Flesh) - an avatar of the Flesh absolutely knows his way around a body. Also an incredible cook. He will make you dinner first, just don’t ask what’s in it.
Jude Perry (Desolation) - perfect temperature control, and hard into sadism. She will ruin your life, but the sex will be fantastic.
Breekon & Hope (Stranger) - two for the price of one, but they are so in sync that you’ll never feel the awkwardness of a threesome. Also, they’re blue collar workers. Very hot.
Michael Crewe (Vast) - imagine sex in freefall, like an eagle. I’ve never tried it but it sounds thrilling. Nobody but the two of you in a vast, empty sky.
A Tier
S Tier with drawbacks, or excellent options without being exceptional.
The Distortion (Spiral) - everyone wants to talk about "mind-breaking sex" but nobody wants to deal with the consequences. You’re gonna have a hell of a migraine.
The Coffin (Buried) - some people like to be crushed under the weight of their partner. Very clingy.
Emma Harvey (Web) - excited to experiment in the bedroom. May bring other Avatars over. Does not understand the concept of safe words.
Simon Fairchild (Vast) - old but still spry and flexible. No drawbacks, but doesn’t make S Tier because the Magnusverse has more to offer.
Martin Blackwood (Lonely) - a good listener. Will take your needs to heart. The human version of a cheetah’s emotional support golden retriever. Not exceptional, but dependable.
Manuela Dominguez (Dark) - sex with the lights off. Intelligent and bold, likes to take charge. Not extremely distinguishing.
B Tier
Mostly good options with some less-than-ideal traits.
Alfred Grifter (Slaughter) - an old man who's still got it, and a musician to boot. Don't let him choose a playlist to "set the mood." The mood is murder.
Elias Bouchard (Eye) - besides being subjectively hot he really doesn’t have anything going for him. Short temper. You do not want this man's pipe.
Julia Montauk (Hunt) - intense, but maybe you’re into that sort of thing. Will break up with you just to get you back. Daddy issues.
Jonathan Sims (Eye) - knows what you want in bed, and is good at getting you to open up. A little too anxious to be a really good lover.
Oliver Banks (End) - attractive, sure, but distant, like trying to fuck a statue. Doesn’t help that he can see when you are going to die.
Hezekiah Wakely (Buried) - expert at putting you to bed afterwards, but the sex itself? There are better options.
C Tier
Mostly bad options with redeeming qualities.
Gertrude Robinson (Eye) - constantly checking you out for weaknesses. Will not make eye contact.
Trevor Herbert (Hunt) - canonically grimy, though some people are into that. Body of a 70 year old marathon runner.
Dexter Banks (Web) - your classic film boyfriend who'd rather watch Das Boot than actually get busy. At least he's not transphobic.
Benoit Macon (Corruption) - are you open to threesomes with his beetle wife? How do you feel about becoming a rotten log full of termites?
Samson Stiller (Eye) - plenty of circuits for you to short out. Refuses to log out of Omegle.
Nathaniel Thorp (End) - likes games, but won't let you win. Too bony for good cuddling.
Gabriel (Spiral) - you’ll feel like putty in his hands. You’ll also develop a phobia of doors and fingerprints.
D Tier
Will give you a bad experience, or just boring.
Jonah Magnus (Eye) - prefers to watch. Dusty.
Agnes Montague (Desolation) - doesn’t want to hurt you, but literally cannot touch you without giving you third-degree burns.
Angela (Flesh) - very possible you would wake up the next morning without genitals.
The Piper (Slaughter) - hard to find a private spot in the middle of a war zone. Unfuckable due to bagpipes.
Not!Them (Stranger) - disconcerting, especially since the person you think you’re having sex with is actually dead. Emotionally distant.
Maxwell Rayner (Dark) - feels like he is going to crumble to dust. Insists on doing it with the lights off. Doesn’t know any interesting positions (he is from the 1700s).
F+ Tier
Just for Jane Prentiss (Corruption) because some of you are into that shit.
F Tier
Active health risks.
Nikola Orsinov (Stranger) - maybe some of you want to fuck a mannequin, but this one is actively homicidal. May also steal your skin.
Mary Keay (End) - gross as fuck, will kill you horribly, and the sex isn’t even very good.
Sarah Baldwin (Stranger) - by all accounts, taxidermied animals are nasty to cuddle with.
Monster Pig (Flesh) - no! What? No!
Raymond Fielding (Web) - has no friends. Will fill you with spiders. Also a devout Catholic. One of those has to be a deal-breaker.
Peter Lukas (Lonely) - does not want to be there. Likely has never been more intimate than being on first-name basis in the workplace.
John Amherst (Corruption) - girl the rot
In the Long King's era, it was customary to take trophies from fallen rivals. Centuries on, he bears the spines and skulls of his defeated contemporaries upon his own back — to honour them in perpetuity and to remind the world that he is more than a man.
no way in hell shipping discourse is the wikipedia article of the day
i noticed it first so now we have to fight to the death
@relevant-wikipedia-articles
gotta be an all-time great disambiguation line
"average audio drama has 5 characters of all time" factoid actually just statistical error. average audio drama has 1 character of all time. silt verses georg, whose whole cast is characters of all time, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
IF NOT FOR EAT WHY CAKE?
IF NOT FOR MOUTH WHY HONEYCOMB?
IF NOT FOOD WHY LOOK LIKE FORBIDDEN SNACK?
every day I am grateful that my career only deals with radiological hazards in theory. because if I had to work with this stuff in person I would eat it on day one
DS9 AO3 stats analysis!
This is the 2nd post in my analysis of fanfics for the various trek fandoms over time; Enterprise analysis is here (also includes an overview of caveats and explanations of calculation methods & r values that I didn't write up again for this post). I'm only looking at data from 2009-present for this, because although the first ds9 fic on AO3 is backdated to 1995, 2009 is the first year with over 50 fics to pull data from!
1. Popularity of ships over time
Starting this one off slightly differently from the Enterprise analysis, take a look at this graph:
Looks pretty standard at first glance, but wait... why are the numbers on the percentage scale so low? Is something missing?
blessings be upon thee for statistically proving that the people remain horny for the 90s space lizard (apart from an inexplicable bout of celibacy in 2010?)
Bad girls do it well
i think if i ever DMed my own d&d campaign i would just completely steal the premise of DS9 and hope no one notices.
a space station guarding a wormhole? uhh, no, actually your characters have uncovered a vein of powerful magic near this small backwater town that suddenly has to deal with all of the celebrity involved. and the townsfolk that have been subjugated by this evil empire for decades are finally free, but they distrust the player characters who have been tasked by the king’s alliance to protect them. sometimes a general of the evil empire shows up just to fuck around and pretend he still owns the place. the innkeep is a goblin who is constantly trying to squeeze gold out of the party. also there’s a guy made of slime.
the starting point for planning my current draw steel campaign was 100% this. and like, from that premise I started having enough original ideas that it's now very much its own thing and (I hope) fairly unrecognisable. but deep down, these orcs are still bajorans. and by all the dark and dreadful gods, there will still be a baseball episode.
(plus, I scattered a few little easter eggs around to nod at my inspiration. hopefully nobody raises an eyebrow when they go exploring the Deep Slate Mine)
