Endless Forms Most Beautiful

And then I saw it. A wall. A door. Some combination of both. It had no exit.

I trembled. I prayed it would not look my way.

And then it saw me.

It SAW me!

Its that time of year again

I never shared the art that was inside the greason holiday cards I printed, and they are very unlikely to get printed again, so here’s the sappy conclusion. If you have only been following the main webcomic and don’t know who this tiny woman is don’t worry you’ll find out in like a decade 👍🏻

Mrs. Chapman is co-owner of a beauty salon?

[sarifel-corrisafid-ilxhel]

Honestly as a way of coordinating with other Controllers, collecting Gossip, and finding influential women to ensnare, a beauty salon is perfect. Like, imagine it. You're in the chair with your head tilted back into weird head-sink used for washing hair, getting your hair washed. The lady washing your hair says something to another lady as she grabs a bottle you don't recognize, uncaps it, and dumps the contents into the water in the basin. Suddenly, both ladies grab your arms and immediately strap them down, trapping you in the chair. You can't see what's happening. You can't see what's in the basin. You scream, but you're in the very back of the salon, no one can hear you. One of the ladies pushes your head back further, and you try to fight it but you can't. Your neck isn't strong enough. They turn your head until your ear is in the water. Something touches your ear.

Another happy customer with extra happy.

Horrifying. I love it.

i love you geology. i love you deep time. i love you rocks as an archive of our planet's history. i love you every grain of sand having a story millions and millions of years in the making. i love you fossils. i love you imprints of living beings from ages past. who were you? what was your life like? did you enjoy basking in the sun too? you looked at the same moon as i did. the footprint you left in the mud outlasted your entire species. i see you. i remember you. and i love you

rocks and dirt are the most mundane things in the world but also the most incomprehensibly significant

I was revisiting several versions of Frankenstein and had the idea to make a mad scientist meter based on how good a parent they are

......and this is more or less what i got

There must be about a million more examples of bad parents, but I ran out of space to put them jeje

I need more to expand this research

"Put Baby in pelican mouth" has transformed my thinking in ways I haven't entirely discovered yet. The other day at the shop I heard "just give us your ID card at the till to get 15% off such-and-such products!" And my brain went "Big Chain Store perfec/t size for give all your personal data! Deals very cheap and fun your data safe give data to Big Chain Store. Give data to Big Chain Store. No problems ever with Big Chain Store because good size and safety for ID card weak of so much yummy personal data. Abig Chain Store yes a place for data give data to Big Chain Store can trust Big Chain Store for give data to all its friends. Friend Store"

And she's finished! I'm so stupidly proud of this one, it's the most I've ventured into art quilting yet. It's also one of the only patterns I've improvised, not to mention improvising curves.

The embroidery details worked well, and the writing stands out much more in person. I still can't stop getting excited about how the sheep turned out.

As for the bits where the curves were far from flat, they worked so well! The crumpled fabric actually adds to the texture and depth.

Now I just need to pray to the sewing gods that she survives the wash! I'm so scared of anything running or breaking or worse, bearding... She'll get a gentle cold wash tomorrow, so cross your fingers everyone!

the doctor who tv movie was good actually

[heaven-at-the-drive-in]

like yeah it's weird, and surreal, and nonsensical at times. but it's so sincere and heartfelt and i think that the weirdness actually adds. because that's the point the film's making about life. yes, it's scary, and weird, and dangerous at times, but sometimes - just for one night - you can hold back death. grace is tired of life but scared of dying and by the end she's found a reason to live. lee feels powerless and aimless and by the end he's saved the world.

[heaven-at-the-drive-in]

people meme on "these shoes they fit perfectly" a lot but i think that scene is actually one of the best in doctor who full stop. because before that the doctor's talking about being back on gallifrey watching a meteor storm with his father - "the sky above us was dancing with lights, purple, green, brilliant yellow!" and he's so joyous at the beauty of this universal thing, a meteor storm. and then it's back into the mundane, his shoes, they fit perfectly, but the joy is the same. it is all so beautiful.

I found a screenshot of your post on a random site. I hope it's ok if I follow you 😭😭😭

Of course! I don't post so much anymore but I lurk pretty regularly. That post (I presume the "lick the science" one) has really escaped containment. It's so funny. I was just really excited after a community college geology class one day.

[muzzlemouths]

everybody says you'll find signs of aging in your excitement about mediocre things but nobody really warns you that you will one day find yourself in bed, severely congested with a bad cold and just looking for some relief in the form of online retail therapy, when you stumble upon something that brings you so much joy you are for but a fleeting moment struck with exhilaration not experienced since you were a wee child. and it's a glass tupperware set.

In honor of Malevolent rapidly approaching it's end, I figured I should finally post some of the sketches I've made of the characters over the years
