I had a dream last night that a man rushed out to meet a bunch of little beings he knew would be waiting for him, which gave me a vague impression of otamatones or cute little frogs.

But all they did was follow eachother in circles, and make goofy croaking sounds.

I didn't know any other context, but I knew they weren't supposed to do this, this was like their minds were gone.

This was as devastating to this man as watching your family die. I got the impression he'd waited years and years to meet them, either hoping they were real or having already known them once.

But he also knew instantly that it was his fault they were like this now, entirely because he had just carelessly put off coming to see them, just a little too long.

This had failed them, somehow, in some way so preventable and so profoundly terrible that he collapsed to the ground screaming so hideously that I woke up with my heart rate flying.

Can you draw these creatures? I know it's not technically a Nightmare Menagerie, but it's close.

The opposite of Gogurt is Stopour Cream.

As suggested by the lightning bolt on their helmets, the San Diego Chargers are not named for the charge of a cavalry, but for the common cell phone charger.

[octocube25]

As opposed to higher rarities of cell phone charger?

I just watched Project Hail Mary yesterday, and spent the entirety of today drawing Eridians.

Name: Tombstone

Job: Mortician

Pronouns: They/them

Additional notes: Grace noticed their similarities to a tombstone and gave them that name. Tombstone thought it was funny that they're a mortician who looks like a tombstone, so they let Grace carve "RIP" into their carapace.

Name: Hammer

Job: Engineer

Pronouns: He/him

Additional notes: He sometimes bangs his head against objects to get a closer view of their insides.

Name: Pipes

Job: Singer

Pronouns: She/her

Additional notes: Her voice sounds like a pipe organ.

Names: Yin and Yang

Job: Unemployed(pebble), will become an artist

Pronouns: She/her(for Yin), He/him(for Yang)

Additional notes: Conjoined twins. Yin is the white side and Yang is the black side. Often disagree on things, but will work together when necessary.

Name: Skyline

Job: Transportation

Pronouns: She/they

Additional notes: Other Eridians stand on them to get around. Her skyscraper-like limbs are about one-tenth the size of actual skyscrapers.

You can message me to get permission to draw these Eridians or work them into the lore of your own Eridians.

Jevil was my closest companion... but sadly, he was simply too chaotic. For the safety of everyone, I had to shawl (pronounced seal) him away.

[octocube25]

It should be "I had to seal(pronounced shawl) him away".

throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!

[octocube25]

Can't say anything about the reaction images and racism, but I think that AAVE being incorporated into mainstream slang is actually an early sign of all cultures merging into one unified humanity.

This is a lot to unpack

[octocube25]

A lot of people are saying that this is poor reading comprehension, but I feel like this is more Christian's fault for writing his bio like that.

26 - No misunderstanding

Christian - His fault, if you put Christian in your bio, people will assume you're talking about the religion

Cancer - Their fault, he doesn't look much like the kind of person to put their zodiac sign in their bio, but it's more likely than putting a disease in their bio

Metalhead - Their fault, Christians(the religion) can be metalheads

17.9 m - His fault, typo

I live alone - no misunderstanding

0 exes - no misunderstanding

I work - no misunderstanding

I have 3 children - His fault, most people would assume that he has 3 illegitimate or adopted children, or a wife that lives in a separate house, and 3 dogs on top of that, rather than calling his dogs "children", which is a mentally insane thing to do

I hate drugs/alcohol - no misunderstanding

In total, 40% of the misunderstandings is their fault, 60% of them is his fault.

"sex should be less stigmatized and talked about more" and "you should always make sure people who dont want to consume sexual media that you present dont have to see it" are two statements that can and should coexist. by the way.

[octocube25]

Don't forget the third statement, "Nothing is inherently sexual except sex, and we shouldn't sexualize things that aren't.".

grossed is such a weird way to describe how much a movie makes. how much did this movie yucky

[more-3-mushrooms]

If I were you I'd pronounce the o like in "oppenheimer".

[octocube25]

Is "Oppenheimer" actually the first word you think of that has a short "o" sound?

[2-more-mushrooms]

I don't remember saying that to be intentionally weird, so apparently yeah.

I spent a solid half second thinking about it now and thought of "jaw" and "yaw" and "yawn" and "maw" and "thaw" and spent another half second and thought of "stop" and "lock" and "mop" which do actually have os so idk

[octocube25]

And "cross" never crossed your mind?

The most annoying mental tic I have is that at any time, any four syllable phrase can trigger the tune to "frere jacques" stuck in my head, using only that phrase. Like I just saw a can of "chicken barley" soup and now I'm stuck hearing that melody with the lyrics "chi-cken bar-ley, chi-cken bar-ley, chi-cken bar, ley, ley, ley," this has happened since I was small and I hate it more every time 😠😠😠

[octocube25]

I do this with 8 syllable phrases and the TMNT theme(yes, it is because of XKCD). I also do Camptown Races for 7 syllables and Power Rangers for 6 syllables.

Could you offer some tips for D&D?

There is a trick to each dice roll. To get high numbers, try these:

d4: Drop the die from a height of at least 4, this will guarantee you get 4.

d6: The cubic or "Caesar's Dice" can be made to roll a 6 by blowing on them as they fall. Do not try with 3d6 or you will get 666 and Satan will result.

d10: This shape is not physically possible, and works only with the placebo effect to make players think they have rolled it, thus you can make up any number and people will accept it.

d12: Anoint the die with Oil of Abramelin and seek guidance from the holy guardian angel of dice to guide them to roll the numbers you wish. Roll what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law, 12 is the law, 12 under Thac0.

d20: Bribe the dice with payments of gold, silver, electrum, or ivory. Photograph yourself doing so, then blackmail them if they refuse. This also works on most politicians in the d20.

d100: This is a ball. Why are you rolling a ball for D&D? That's absurd, balls are for sports people.

dℵ₀: Do not roll infinite dice, this will annoy the DM.

[octocube25]

Is the d10 thing because it's not a Platonic solid?
