Bars and restaurants should be able to serve just. A bowl of Hershey kisses. As a dessert item

thinking again about vampirism as disability

what if you slept all day and woke at night, lonely and frustrated. what if you couldn't go to social events, or even mundane public spaces like stores. what if you couldn't see the sun. what if you couldn't go to the pool, or the beach, or the creek. what if you couldn't eat what everyone else is eating. what if you couldn't eat at all. what if your basic needs came at the cost of your loved ones' quality of life. what if you became agitated, confused, maybe even violent if your needs weren't met. what if people blamed your behavior on demons, or worse, your own inherent evil. what if people saw you as a threat to your own community. what if the default response to your suffering was either indifference or violence. what if people thought you were better off dead, that you no longer count as human, that they're doing you a favor by letting you disappear. what if people assumed you must somehow deserve all of this. what about that.

I think if you have a chronic illness you should be automatically immune from getting a common cold. I already have several status negatives in the -5 range, I dont need some dinky -1 to stack on top of that. A Real disease would give me reason to go to the ER, but nooooo now I have to deal with a sore throat along with my regularly scheduled torments. This COWARD of a bacteria is doing the equivalent of beating me with a flyswatter while I bleed out on the floor. WHAT IS THE POINT IN THAT? WHAT SATISFACTION COULD THAT POSSIBLY PROVIDE

I love watching analysis videos of analog horror series, but they really cement that I CAN'T watch the primary sources. Why? Because the original videos don't have subtitles.

Who will win? Spooky distorted voice or my audio processing disorder?

(It's the latter. Every. Time.)

I'm convinced that if I Did encounter a real-life spooky internet thing, I'd survive simply because I couldn't understand a single thing they say, lmao.

Like. Having subtitles would probably break the immersion. But also. You can't break an immersion that hasn't occurred.

He's here for those sweet, succulent jelly beans (and totally not your skin)

The Lactaid company should have floats in Pride parades, and toss out single chewables like fire trucks do candy

we’re getting more chaotic by the week

Okay so I have THOUGHTS

Cloacas are most commonly found in birds and reptiles, which would be fine to hand-wave with the whole "dino DNA" shenanigans, EXECPT for the fact that the Professor mentioned his cloaca Prior to his death, in reference to how he makes jellybeans. So, SOMEHOW, this fuzzy man had a cloaca before getting his DNA shuffled with T-Rex surrogacy.

This means that the professor is a monotreme - a mammal capable of laying eggs. There are two types alive today: echidnas, and platypuses. And since the Professor clearly doesn't have a duck bill, I think we can go for "fucked up echidna."

Several things line up with my echidna theory:

No teeth

Danger Floof

Short limbs with large paws and claws

No outer ears

Lightly-colored snout

Baby echidnas are called puggles and I would spend real money to see Puggle Professor

(I did a quick look in extinct monotremes, but none of them seemed more promising than the short-snout enchidna. They more resembled slightly spikey mice.)

Of course this leaves us with Many questions. Is the Professor an echidna who was given magical jellybeans to become a puppet, as has been seen on the show before? Musical guests on the show seem to gain human intelligence and sentience, so it wouldn't be out of the question.

What happened to the long snoot? Still roughly the right color, but the Professor's nose is much too button-like for the sneefer echindas sport.

All this aside, I will say one last thing. Echidna, of Greek mythology, was regarded the Mother of Monsters.... it's a stretch, but I'd like to think our own Connie McNasty's puppet-making is a power he has independent of his genie wishes. Like, he needs the time-travel satchel from the genie, but it'd be cool if he was making those "abominable singing puppets" all on his own.

I was inspired lol @wearewatcher

My cryptid trio stamps are done!!! We've got Top Surgery Mothman, the Jackalope, and the Kraken! I've got a lot of plans on finally opening a shop, attending queer vendor events, stuff like that, but I've gotta figure out what (aside from these) i can make in good time. My pincushion birds call... from a modern sewing machine, so I'll follow their call this time lol. I'll keep you updated!
