Dancing to the Golden Record at 78 rpm, with apologies to Bill Watterson.

Attempting to figure out how to draw Rocky by just kinda scribbling with a brush pen. I had to switch pens midway through the dance sequence, though, so the line quality varies wildly, haha.

Also: the original sketch, which I liked the energy of too much to ink over:

Day ONE of filling this with aro and/or ace characters

Starting off strong with Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary!! While he is not canonically aroace, I felt as though he’s really spearheaded the aroace community these past few months and helped many people feel seen and accepted :)

When I was at the natural history museum, the fossil section had stickers on the glass to engage children - things like "Flap your arms like a pterodactyl" or "Measure your hand against the mosasaurus." However the first of these I encountered, which I found alarming and threatening without context, was a sticker reading "Struggle like you are stuck in a tar pit"

I feel like more bright colors, an exclamation mark, or a more whimsical font choice would've also helped here to indicate that it is a Fun Activity For Children. Instead it felt like getting instructed in my inevitable fate by a road sign

"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.

This isnt better from Grace's perspective btw. Eridians never developed computers, so all their ship systems are steered using basically the manual labor of 24 Eridians. Also theres no radiation shielding on their ship. Actually im pretty sure half the reason why Rocky is always busy fixing shit is because the radiation keeps frying all the onboard electronics, so hes always building and fixing and replacing components

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

Both of them thinks the other one is the completely ridiculous and absurd one and theyre both totally amazed at how far the other has come in spite of it

Since Ryan Gosling is trending again after the release of Project Hail Mary (very understandably I might add) I thought I would share this fun little tidbit

In the early 2000s Ryan Gosling was the lead singer in a sort of gothic/alternative (?) band called Dead Man's Bones

I recommend checking them out! As far as I know they only have one released album, but it's super cool and fun! Definitely perfect for a Halloween playlist, in my case

Personally, I think all of the songs on the album are fucking awesome. They have such an interesting vibe to them, and I love the story that gets told on each song. Also, choosing to partner with a children's choir for your indie goth album is such a banger of an idea holy shit

Funnily enough, I'd actually heard and enjoyed a couple of their songs for a few years and just never realized it was him (which I think is telling of the quality of the music actually being good), now of course I can't unhear it, but the music is still really good so I don't mind

Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields if you can hear me revive your band and make a second album, I'm begging you

Dead Man's Bones - Lose Your Soul 2009

Dead Man's Bones were a rock duo consisting of Ryan Gosling (under the alias "Baby Goose") and Zach Shields. Their self-titled first album was released on October 6, 2009. The entire album is a collaboration with the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir — started by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea — from Los Angeles, California.

When Shields and Gosling met in 2005 they discovered a mutual obsession with the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. Zach was so preoccupied with ghosts as a kid that he was put into therapy, and Gosling's parents moved out of his childhood home because they believed it was haunted. Neither of them had really outgrown their fascination with graveyards or anything deathly and decided to write love stories about ghosts and monsters.

The pair chose to play all the instruments on the record, even those they had never touched before. They also imposed rules on themselves during the recording process, such as not playing with a click track, and trying to do no more than three takes on any song, letting any imperfections highlight the strengths of the music. Gosling and Shields also toured around the US for fall/Halloween 2009 with a local choir and talent show at every show to rave reviews.

"Lose Your Soul" is featured in the closing credits of the 2013 French film Age of Panic and an episode of Teen Wolf, while the song "In the Room Where You Sleep" was included in the soundtrack of the 2013 film The Conjuring.

"Lose Your Soul" received a total of 69% yes votes! Previous Ryan Gosling polls: #15 "Put Me in the Car", #159 "I'm Just Ken".
