today's invertebrate.............creseis acicula

she's the supreme supervisor of the 'library of wet', a massive library that contains every single wet text and archae ever written since 1958!

and lately research at the 'library of wet' has been really slow and almost stopped, as all the wet texts and archae have been fully read and overanalysed, which means that in the coming days creseis acicula and her peers will be promoted to work at the 'library of dry'!!!!

glorpiness rating: and then the said want !!

Working on some more wheatpastes.

Trying to make these critters bigger and simpler.

I don’t want to pour too much time into any one of them because they are pretty likely to get destroyed a day or two after I put them up.

If I’m lucky I’ll get a month out of them 🤞🏻

👽 Random X-Files Fic Rec

This fic is a wonderfully evocative exploration of the aftermath of "Orison" with Scully spending the night at Mulder's apartment. Title: Atomic Split Author: Pteropod Summary: The world is glued together by the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and gravity. Length: 12k (~2,100 words) Classification: Post-ep for Orison, MSRish, Angst Rating: PG-13 Spoilers: Orison Favorite line: Mulder's hand reached over at the first stoplight and she took it, because the car was dark and quiet and because Donnie Pfaster made her remember the feeling of blood dripping from her nose. Read the story! (If you have trouble with the gossamer link, replace "fluky" with "krycek")
