The egg came first

Call me Brains! Adult. Aussie. They/He. I draw and I write and am very much hoping that one day I'll publish my stories as graphic novels. I reblog things that I like and this is your warning that I indulgently reblog posts that have body horror, gore and just horror-stuff in general. Interests include: Sanders Sides, The Magnus Archives, The Magnus Protocol, The Dark Crystal, the Arrancar from Bleach (yes JUST the Arrancar), Re Animator, Transformers (mostly DJD focused DAMN I love those bois), Malevolent. Also there will be lots of me talking to myself as I drag myself through the quagmire that my path to finishing my graphic novel projects.

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

so christopher nolan drilled into an active historical site to rig a scene, dumped a bunch of plastic skeletons into the ocean with no plan to fish them out, and ruined an actual Viking ship on loan from sweden and refuses to pay for damages. all for that garbage movie.

Owner of Viking ship used in The Odyssey says studio has not paid bill for damage

Swedish nonprofit alleges cost to repair replica was $6,000 but Universal – which made $264m on film’s opening weekend – has not stumped up

Nolan’s "The Odyssey" Has a Colonialism Problem

Despite Morocco’s hopes that its film industry would reap rewards, the blockbuster’s success will be tainted by controversy surrounding film

and it gets even worse

[ezra-didntreallyfall]

It saddens me that non-aussies dont understand aussie references

Like, you dont know who Wil Anderson is? Not even Tom Gleeson? You don't respond to people saying "I don't like it" with "when you turn my voice about"? You've never turned on your tv/radio to hear Frank Walker from National Tiles saying hello to you? You can listen to pub rock without yelling "no way get fucked fuck off" or "Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?" at the right parts? You don't even have Spicks and Specks?

Please explain???

I appear to have forgotten how to draw human bodies.

Awesome, that's exactly what I needed today.

Shoutout to gay men who prefer to use the rainbow flag instead of the vincian one.

Shoutout to people who prefer to be called transsexual instead of transgender.

Shoutout to people whose identities technically fall under the transgender label but prefer not to use it.

Shoutout to people whose identities technically fall under the nonbinary label but prefer not to use it.

Shoutout to people whose pronouns don’t align with their sexuality or gender.

Shoutout to people who use contradictory labels.

Shoutout to people who don’t label themselves at all.

Logan concluding that the pain and heartache and suffering that comes from dating hurts enough to never date again is so painful for me.

This is the same side that stopped smiling and telling jokes because he concluded that he'd never be listened to if he isn't serious because people don't take Patton seriously and HE never took Patton seriously.

This is the same side that used to be so happy and excited to teach Thomas things but nobody wants to hear his expositions. They skip the monologues, they fall asleep, they tune it out. They don't care and that hurts doesnt it? Having to change yourself to be heard? And how can you stay happy doing what you love and fulfilling your purpose if nobody wants it?

Then he's asked for help on things he knows he's not good at and they dismiss his ideas. Again. That just hurts me so much.

This is the same side that pretends he doesn't have feelings because if he acknowledges them he'll get angry becsuse he's hurting and he's not supposed to hurt because he's fooled himself into thinking he's not supposed to be hurting.

Logan my beloved you need mountains of therapyyyyy

People die on the job every summer. Remember that water and shade breaks are crucial when working in the heat, and calling emergency services for signs of serious heat illness (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headaches, dizziness, clammy skin, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, high body temperature, rapid heart rate, etc.) is entirely appropriate. If you’re afraid to call 911 for reasons such as being undocumented, you’ll need to get very familiar with how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat illness. If you are symptomatic and not allowed a break, water, or medical treatment, walk out. No matter how broke you are, your job is not worth your life.

[ominous-signs]

Official please put yourself first sign

[dungeonmastersconsortium]

As someone who has worked in workers' compensation for the better part of a decade

You can die from overworking yourself.

This is especially common during the summer and nighttime shifts. You do NOT want to know the wide range of injuries I've seen. But you need to be careful and prioritize yourself and your own health always.
