Encounter: 1980s Sex & Violence Catgirl With Wild Frizzy Hair

[modismod]

What selective breeding took from us

[alifet]

The evolution functions like with pigs and boars meaning if a modern cat girl is left in the wild she will start to develop the traits of the 1980’s version so unless you want a crazy razor clawed chick kidnapping every pretty boy (and the occasional girl) in your town keep your cat girls inside

Here are six more 2″x2″ paintings that I made for another ‘Microdose’ group show at Nucleus Portland (November 8th - December 1st 2020). I’m glad that they all found new homes after the show.

Prehistoric creatures featured: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus, Dimetrodon, Ammonite, Elasmotherium, and Pteranodon!

I love the idea of Spock being super queer, highly expressive and very emotional from a Vulcan view point. Like...

I still can’t get over how Naruto is literally named after the little pink spiral thingies you get in ramen noodles

the western equivalent would be like naming your kid fucking Crouton

[deku-smash]

MY NAME IS CROUTON AND IM GONNA BE PRESIDENT SOMEDAY BELIEVE IT

[defydamage]

This is the worst!

[riotousgrianatrix]

“Elite Spy Scarecrow, you have been assigned to mentor Team 7.” “Yes, President Third Fire Shadow. Which Junior Spies are on that team?” “That would be Crouton Spiral, Cherry Blossom Springtime, and Assistant Paper Fan.” “Oh dear God.” Later… “Hello, Team 7. I am Scarecrow. I have been assigned to lead your squad.” “Elder Scarecrow is so dumb. I am Crouton Spiral and I’m gonna be President someday. Believe it!” “Nice to meet you, Elder! My name is Cherry Blossom Springtime, and I’m in love with Assistant.” “This is all you need to know. I’m Assistant, from the Paper Fan Clan. I hate these two dumbasses. I hate my brother, Weasel Paper Fan. He killed my family, so I’m going to kill him.”

[nyctosaurid]

the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised 

[aerialsquid]

I feel like the modern equivalent is that guy you think is super well put together until you find out exactly how much red bull he ingests on a regular basis.

[domicileensnared]

Modern Sherlock is that very nice English Professor-seeming guy who you bring a problem and while walking from the door of his office to his desk he starts explaining the entire solution you need

And upon reaching his desk he’s like “Excuse me one moment.” and pulls out one of those huge Monster canisters they legally aren’t allowed to make anymore, cracks the whole thing, chugs it, takes a deep breath, and then nods at you and is like “Alright, and then what you need to do is…”

[younggayanddoingokay]

Imagine how much better the dynamic of bbc sherlock could have been if they did this.

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

why even modernize it to energy drinks??? coke didn’t go anywhere. we still have coke. energy drinks aren’t NEARLY chaotic enough. 

Its is more like you hiring some guy to do private investigation about how your husband maybe cheating on you and Sherlock comes to your house high as fuck. Walks into your living room and without taking a moment to even talk to you or sign any paperwork, he turns around—pupils as big as god—and just says

“Its your best friend Brenda. I’ll email you the invoice.” 

and walks right out of your house. 

[bairnsidhe]

Because when it was written cocaine was legal and even considered healthy and useful by some laypeople, even though doctors knew it wasn’t, and Watson was always trying to stop people from encouraging Sherlock’s addiction because HE KNEW BETTER.

So consider this, Holmes, at 2am, desperately searching the flat for the stashes of NOS cans, only to keep coming up with passive aggressive pamphlets about the dangers of caffeine overdose.

Watson wakes up to a stench like Satan’s ass to find Sherlock sitting by his bed with a re-heated pot of cold brewed Deathwish Coffee that had been hidden in the back of the toilet tank (brewing) for five months.  Sherlock is trying to say he’s proud of John’s cleverness in finding most of the stashes, but he’s passed into the fifth dimension and all John gets is a creepy vibrating grin and a sound like a shaken cat.

TLDR, Sherlock did die when he fell off the Falls, but he was so coked up his body didn’t stop moving until like a decade later.

[shadowmaat]

Sherlock as one of those cryptid types the baristas talk about (there’s a post floating around somewhere) who comes in and orders a venti with as many shots as they are legally allowed to add, plus a few more for good measure (and a hefty tip) and then adds energy drink on top of it before chugging the whole thing, to the absolute horror of the cafe staff.

[junietwohundred]

This is the kind of Sherlock Holmes discourse I demand on my dash. Bring me more!

[itsclydebitches]

Further discourse! Everyone is missing the fact that Sherlock used cocaine to “escape from the commonplaces of existence” when he didn’t have a case. The drugs are a substitute. Which means that when you hire him he’s stone-cold sober and JUST AS WEIRD. 

So it’s more like realizing that your flatmate with the caffeine/sometimes drug death wish will only chill the fuck out when he has some strange mystery to unravel, so you spend your free time scouring reddit posts that might actually feature a real missing person. Or a ghost. You really don’t care which at this point. When you finally find something your flatmate is THRILLED and straight up stops eating because he thinks he can survive on intellectual curiosity alone, and yeah that’s not good, but it’s better than what he was doing to himself before. Your success is comparative, okay? You stick around for the meeting partly because you’re curious, partly because this is your home too remember, and partly because you’ve found that writing up these insane excursions helps pay off your student loans. Your Patreon is thriving. The entire time your flatmate is interviewing this poor SOB he keeps breaking into manic grins and you’re kicking him under the table, trying to help him remember that others aren’t happy about a death in the family. Halfway through he pulls a cigarette from a stash in his smelly bedroom slipper, offering the client one and yeah, that’s very nice, but… no. No thank you. He’s dressed impeccably and has a violin worth millions just lying on the floor, but the flat as a whole looks like a tornado just blew through and there’s something growing on the walls beside the makeshift lab. Is he rich? Dirt poor? Impossible to tell based on the surroundings. The entire time he rattles off observations about the client not at all related to the case and his continuing good mood depends entirely on how impressed the guy is. If he mentions “magic tricks” or “I saw that on Youtube” you’re prepped for damage control. 

By 8:00pm you’ve finally convinced your flatmate to look up from his research and go half on a pizza, but the second it gets there he shrieks in excitement and runs out the door, demanding that you follow with your legally dubious gun. You apologize profusely to the delivery guy and double his tip, begging him not to call the cops. No, not because you’re afraid of arrest, you just know the head of the local precinct and he’s a pain in the ass. 

You run after your flatmate knowing damn well you have to be up early tomorrow because despite maintaining a private practice you still don’t make enough to get your own apartment. 

You are living your best life.

That last post…nailed it

[tjwock]

Reminder that most of Sherlock Holmes is now in the public domain.

Like…. just saying.

[maramahan]

Personally I see Sherlock as ADHD and no one will ever convince me otherwise

I mean — it’s textbook hyperfixation/understimulation right there — I Also forget to eat and sleep and do Human Things when I’m vibing with whatever makes my brain go, and I Also take (medically prescribed) stimulants when I need to think. And Also adhd understimulation makes mundane existence an agony that one will do nearly anything to escape but at least in the modern day we have things like video games and netflix so it’s a little easier to actually get that escape without y’know completely self-destructing along the way (Sherlock Holmes plays Among Us to fill the void between cases change my mind)

And while it’s entirely legit that a modern ADHD sherlock might self-medicate with energy drinks and home-brewed toilet-tank-coffee, I’d LOVE to see an adaptation where Sherlock just. has a prescription?

So instead of hunting down his secret Bad Habit Stash, John could be like “hey, sherlock- the pharmacy called, your meds are ready” and then sherlock would be all “LATER JOHN IM ON A CASE RN I DONT NEED THEM” and John’d be like “sherlock no that’s not how that works”

And then later once the case has been solved and the existential agony of understimulation sets back in, Sherlock could be like “hey John pass me my meds” And John might be “sherlock you already took them this morning I saw you” “yeah but they’re not working yet” “dude it takes time for them to kick in” “sure sure OR I could just take more. I missed some days y’know I gotta catch up” “sherloCK NO I am a DOCTOR that’s NOT HOW THAT WORKS” And then sherlock heaves a gigantic sigh and grabs a can of RedBull that’d been stuffed between the couch cushions and John like swats him with a shoe or something because SHERLOCK NO do you KNOW what that stuff DOES to your HEART PLEASE STOP

Who wired my fucking house. Give me a fucking name. I just wanna talk

[cephalopodvictorious]

Ya know those articles that went around a while back about how Millenials know less about repairs/home repairs than boomers, and its framed as a “haha these idiots can diy a bathroom rug but HIRE a roofer, how incompetent!”

Because everyone I know who has a house has at some point sat on the floor in tears because nothing is up to code and they’re a heartbeat away from losing everything in a fire and I’m like. Maybe we don’t know less, maybe we just know more and have less hubris

[captainjonnitkessler]

You are exactly right. I have some old DIY books that are REALLY casual about things like “here’s a one-page tutorial on how to knock out part of your foundation to add a cellar door!” “Here’s how to run a 100 amp subpanel yourself!” And i’m like cool! How did anyone survive the seventies!

Look, contractors are expensive for a REASON. Doing a job correctly takes skill, knowledge, and experience. Doing the job wrong can literally be deadly. It can be fun and handy to learn DIY home repair, but like … There’s definitely a limit!

all I wanted to do was take the wallpaper off the basement walls.

it was pasted directly onto bare, unfinished drywall. it took two weeks to scrape it all off. there was a section of drywall that was only held in place by that wallpaper. the only section of drywall that had been mudded was mudded with concrete. the drywall in the laundry room touched the concrete floors and had soaked up spilled water over the years.

I replaced seven 4ft x 8ft sections of drywall.

there was an entire section of wall in the basement that was not secured to the floor. there are sections I worry aren't properly secured, but there was at least an attempt; this one only had a single nail holding it to the basement joist.

I did not touch the wiring outside of changing the outlets. So far the electricians I've had in haven't found anything wrong safety-wise with the wiring, but I have gotten "that's a weird way to run that cable" a few times.

there are. so many other things I have discovered that make me want to cry. my neighbours have informed me that the nearly 90 year old woman who previously owned the house refused to hire professional help, and would not even accept help from friends or family.

[rennegaides]

did I just spend an ungodly amount of money on a video game physical collector's edition?

yup.

do I regret it?

not enough to cancel the preorder

I just really want that azem pin. and the artwork. the statue will look cool on my ff14 shelf. the bunny will join all the other bunnies in my collection.

I will never use that minion.

[rennegaides]

some life updates:

one of the momma dogs has been removed from the breeder's program due to health issues. this pushes back my probable date of dog-getting to December. unfortunate and disappointing, but im glad they're thinking of the dog's health over making money on puppies.

my surgery date has been set! July 7th. I need to book a blood test for 3-4 weeks ahead of that date.

and finally. finally. my province has opened up vaccine booking for my age range. gonna book that in the morning.

so two goods and a disappointing, all learned within the last 48 hours.

Okay, listen, it’s 2:05 AM and I just lost it looking at this. Look at it!! Love at this creature! I mean! Yeah, that’s the prompt, but oh my god - it’s wonderful. Thank you so much for this. I can’t figure out if it’s cursed or blessed.

I just saw his name too, oh

Von Anklebiter, you have a special place in my heart and are also living in my head rent free. Thank you!!
