NIX ET NOX

Is it wrong to tamper with human DNA? Is it wrong to murder an entire ethics committee?? IS IT WRONG to replace them with obedient laboratory clones? pfp @vidoakdame on twt

You're hardly normal, and you don't cherish life. You just don't want to admit defeat in the limited time you have. Even so, don't I deserve an interesting ending?

a dragon sets to decorating his newly built Bower. it still needs work and sooner or later someone is going to figure out where all those boats went but he’s making progress and doing his best.

Hannah Blanke wanted either a bower bird or an eel for their patreon cryptid commission so i did both.

The Exploring Motherhood in Arcane (Sakura-con 2026) slides and transcript are now on AO3! Join myself and my wonderful co-panelists @toytle and @fruchtfleisch-art as we unpack how mothers shape the narrative. Pssst … Collect our mother figures.

Symbolic Mothers Preview:

Where does Rio fit into all of this? She is Shimmer's mother. A child turned parental figure against her will. Not to mention her embryonic and fetal design. She’s squishy, pink, with large bulging eyes and a smooth bulbous head. In Season 1, Episode 6, Singed states that Rio is a rare mutation that he cultivated. Implying that he had experimented with other pixiemanders in the past; until Rio was born with the desired mutation to begin synthesizing Shimmer.

Raising the question, how many other “Rio’s” suffered before her birth? Rio was kept forcibly alive by Singed. Akin to her children, she has zero autonomy. Her milk is the byproduct of her suffering, and her suffering is perpetuated through the circulation of the drug within the undercity. Shimmer users who undergo a physical degradation possess the same skin lesions, bulging purple veins, and discolored limbs present on Rio. They take after her in a physical sense, with her “illness” being passed down to them. She is as much a victim as those affected by Shimmer. As far as we know, Rio is still floating in her tube with her fate left unresolved. While the Shimmer factories may fall to ruin, the source remains out there, waiting to be rediscovered. Let's get into some womb imagery with Rio! fig. 1. The cave Viktor finds her in is a womb nestled within the earth—the birthplace of Shimmer's progenitor. fig. 2. The container she is kept in also has womb-like qualities, as Rio is shown to be in a fetal position, surrounded by liquid, with tubes resembling umbilical cords connecting to her body. It is safe to assume Rio was born in a tube. So, she’s truly returning to her place of origin.

Happy Mother's Day!
