The Random Musings of a Museless Writer

⚔️💀Zombie Queen of the Clearwater Ritual💀⚔️ Adult with a license to drink, but hardly a grown-up. Maybe if I successfully publish a novel, I can consider myself one.Nonbinary/Genderfluid, Asexual, Demiromantic, and Polyamorous, or simply Queer As Hell. Any pronouns accepted, they/them preferred. I write stuff and I draw stuff, and even remember to post said stuff on occasion. I play games (D&D, Diablo, Skyrim and ESO, League, Dragon Age, FFXIV, and more), and have tripped and fallen from the pinnacle into the pit of Ghost hell. But mostly, I reblog a lot of random stuff because this blog has become less about sharing my writing and more about wasting time. #Rixa's Rants is my personal tag, for all your blacklisting needs.

Your skyrim posts are gay. This blog is gay. Your gay that is all.

The #Reviews are in, kids, you heard it here first:

Hi, it’s me, your Flix Bus driver. I heard some of you back there asking why we’re on this dirt road in the middle of a cow pasture if this is supposed to be a direct line from Berlin to Munich. To that I say: you all need to mind your own damn business and look at the fucking moo cows.

romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering

finding the strength to walk home from the library at 3am in the freezing rain by imagining yourself as a Napoleonic soldier hightailing it from Moscow in 1813

July 15, 2026 - Activist group "Everyone Hates Elon" installed a guerrilla ad parodying Meta's advertisement campaign for its dystopian surveillance glasses for perverts and stalkers, near Meta's London headquarters.

The lenticular poster changes Kylie Jenner to a They Live style monster with Meta's true message: "WE'RE ALWAYS WATCHING". [link]

“Meta has spent years tracking us online,” said a spokesperson for EHE in an email to Hyperallergic. “Now it wants to track us in the real world too.” In an effort to assuage concerns about the glasses secretly recording people, Meta said it would roll out a software update that would disable the camera if the built-in LED recording light was obscured or damaged. However, the product has already been derided extensively online, especially because of its recent popularity with “Manosphere” content creators who post point-of-view recordings of them cold approaching (see: sexually harassing) various women in public without their knowledge. “Meta and Ray-Ban’s new AI glasses can be used to secretly record women and young people for sexual reasons,” the EHE spokesperson continued in their statement to Hyperallergic. “Simply put, that’s abuse.”

Never getting over Charlie Kirk getting shot in the throat right after he uses it to downplay gun violence. Gotta be a top 3 assassination. Up there with Shinzo getting doohickey'd.

[foxgirlmindcrank]

It's on some straight up Greek play shit. Man who uses his voice to justify violence and stir evil for years meets his end as that very violence tears out his throat. Poetic. Captured live from multiple angles. People stole his blood soaked merch to hock and his wife was giddy about sale numbers during his funeral.

Nephew's 4th birthday party yesterday. Did it in my parents apartment, like twenty kids and a corresponding number of parents squeezed into a tiny space. Pandemonium. Then. The magician shows up. Magic Al. He's been doing this for decades (he did MY fifth birthday party. He said it was good to see me again and gave me a hug 😭 🥹. Thank you Magic Al love you Magic Al). He puts on the coat. takes out the wand. Thirty five kids are ENRAPTURED. They are cheering and yelling and SITTING DOWN for an HOUR LONG SET. There's a real dove. He sneezed out two donuts. He's basically doing Kid Standup Comedy with a little sleight of hand. Parents are amazed – "I can't get her to sit down for three minutes, how is she still paying attention."

The real magic is some kind of "keep the kids' attention" superpower. Forty years of doing kids birthday parties and he has it down to a SCIENCE. He's like those sushi chefs who can fillet a tuna blindfolded, but for making fifty kids face in the same direction for an hour. somebody needs to get a grant to study this guy . We should restructure our entire early childhood public education system around Magic Al's techniques. What a legend.

I spent a couple of years as a teacher's assistant for kids this age, and really, the thing that fascinates kids is when you do things deliberately. I could have kids giggling something fierce during lunch just by Eating Very Precisely (which I had to be careful with because they wouldn't eat their own lunches).

And obviously, being a magician is taking that skill and honing it to perfection, because every move is very particular and specifically designed to direct your audience's attention.

Still, keeping that up for an hour? That's incredibly impressive.

Some recent character studies/doodles...I haven't drawn them in a long time, and I missed them

[raccoonmilf]

have you seen jimothy of Seattle, the raccoon with a short body? is he okay or is he too silly for a long lifespan?

Hopefully this video clears some stuff up about Jimothy! (There are captions for anyone who needs them)

[burriburi]

i also drew this for umad prog. P4 soon surely.

more people need to be embarrassed about being bad dog owners

[shirleyjacksons]

you’re a bad dog owner if you don’t train your pet. you’re a bad dog owner if you can’t read their signs of pain, discomfort, or anxiety. you’re a bad dog owner if you only bring them to the vet when they are being an inconvenience to you. full stop.

[shirleyjacksons]

the number of times i have walked into a room to a dog with whale eyes and piloerection and the owner notes how i’m keeping my distance and they say “oh he doesn’t bite!” no wonder your dog is badly behaved, you never bothered to learn his language!

I’m starting to doubt that I’m ever gonna get around to FCG, so here’s a roundup of the Bells Hells in historical art styles alongside an illustrative example of the art style used.

From top to bottom-

Laudna in the style of 19th century gothic revival stained glass

Dorian Storm in the style of Yoshitaka Amano

Orym of the Air Ashari in the style of 16th century Mughal painting

Fearne Calloway in the style of Baroque portrait sculpture (for example Bernini)

Chetney Pock O’Pea in the style of Ivan Bilibin

Imogen Temult in the style of Nell Brinkley

Ashton Greymoore in the style of Banksy

The weirdest guy I ever met in a church was this boy who referred to “Buzz Aldrin and his husband” going to the moon. I was completely baffled, and when I asked if he’d misspoken, he got really angry and accused me of being deliberately ignorant of the facts. It turned out that he was somehow comvinced that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were married. It took five Wikipedia articles to convince him otherwise.

[rockshitty]

The moon landing was fake: tired, passé, heard it before

The moon landing was an elaborate marriage proposal: fresh! sexy! I’m going to be thinking about this for months!

[weaver-z]

Romcom where two dudes in the 1960s fall in love and come up with an elaborate plan to become astronauts to get married in space because gay marriage is illegal everywhere but it can’t be illegal on the moon

[explorerrowan]

Might make things a little awkward for Mike Collins.

[soaringsearingphoenix]

He was the officiator

[explorerrowan]

This is an excellent take. He officiated in orbit, and the landing was their Honey Moon.

[cipheramnesia]

Oh my god they were moon mates.

[themoonwheniamlost]

THEY WERE MOON MATES

[mooncustafer]

Happy Anniversary to Buzz and Neil!
