inside you there might be two wolves. inside me there's a tiny john linnell and john flansburgh and when they make funny tunes then i have a single thought

btw i need you to make weird stuff. i need you to make stuff that only you could make. like, stuff that is already very uniquely yours, but then exaggerated even further to the point that you absolutely know that nobody else is ever going to make that thing. if you have an idea, then letting it die is the worst possible outcome. so i need you to make the weird thing and put it out there

i like worldbuilding because if there's any social or cultural construct or norm that i don't get or don't like....... then i can simply say it doesn't exist in the world i'm building. their society just didn't develop those constructs or norms or ideas. black cats aren't unlucky. gender variance is generally just understood to be normal. left-handedness was never treated as a weird or bad thing.

The following photograph and a letter (transcription below) fell out of a pocket of a secondhand portfolio upturned by Nastine Olive in the search for a missing compass. The portfolio had previously belonged to adventurer Lawrence Parston before his abrupt disappearance ten years ago.

Lawr: I hope this letter finds you well. Frankly, with how seldom I expect you to be at home, I hope this letter finds you at all. But I digress -- with pleasantries out of the way, brass tacks: First order of business: enclosed is the photograph we all took the last time you visited. Apologies for the delay; apparently, this newfangled dry-plate business makes up for the shorter exposure times with weeks of waiting on the photographist to actually develop the damned photographs. However, you'll find it came out well, so perhaps it was worth the wait. Second, and more importantly: Thank you. Thank you a million times. Thirty years, and you still manage to impress me with your charisma and your ability to leverage it. Need I remind you how many libraries, archives, academies I've inquired with no response? And yet -- somehow -- miraculously! -- a mere coffee chat is all it takes for the ineffable Lawrence Parston to secure a position for his poor, downtrodden brother. With someone I've never met, no less. How you managed to develop such a skill, I may never know. You must understand the gravity of this opportunity for my family and myself. I'll spare you the burdensome details, but know this: we've really needed this move. The new environment and the new people will do us all some good. Especially Aster and Nastine. (The ostracism has gotten to the point that Elena and I lose sleep, you know. They're tough kids, Lawrence. Tougher than any kids should have to be.) Elena and I are already making our preparations. We'll leave Greene by the end of the season. -- Leo P.S. You'll be just plumb chuffed to know, I'm sure, that they both still remind me of you. I fear that living nearer you will only encourage them to run about outside even more.

just a few character explorations for a new story idea i had. i haven't decided on gender for many of them so i've made longer/shorter hair variants for most of em

Space Music WIP Spotlight: Sedna

Visit Original Link

This yet-to-be-named song is about 90377 Sedna, a dwarf planet discovered in 2003 that spawned a new class of astronomical objects (the aptly-named sednoids, of which we've only found a few). Why did this roughly Ceres-sized body warrant creating a new category? Because its orbit is so elongated that it takes Sedna unfathomably far from the Sun -- the closest part of its orbit is over 2.5x Neptune's orbit in terms of distance from the Sun, and the farthest part of its orbit is over 12 times as far as that closer part. It takes Pluto 248 years to orbit the Sun once; it takes Sedna 11,400. Its orbit is an unthinkably large oval that cannot have been perturbed by any (known) planetary masses and takes it into the void farther and for longer than we can comprehend. Why does it orbit like this? What could have made it orbit like this? What's out there in the infinite dark that we don't see or know? And they say cosmic horror is fiction!

Spent the day trying (and struggling) to study, break down, and understand another artist's style. I only got one (tiny) headshot out of it, but I'll take any excuse I can to janepost on main.

Day 13 of my friend's daily drawing challenge was "constellation." Naturally, I had to draw my moon witch stargazing.
