I will always reblog this.
I once spent three hours scouring the internet to find this comic again, I will not let that be repeated.
@signoraviolettavalery I meant to ask last night if you’d ever seen this comic before.
yes, yes I have and it is excellent :)
xeno series girlies when the video game has the cycle of death and rebirth, artificial humans, bodysharing, god, and some kinda cannibalism
KRITA ADVERTISING RIGHT ABOVE CLIP STUDIO PAINTS SUBSCRIPTION ANNOUNCEMENT IS SO FUCKING FUNNY GOOD FOR THEM
My interpretations of the archive crew aka everyone who works at the Magnus Archives (except for Elias) is hot 🥵 and you can't change my mind
I love homestuck. Homestuck raised me. I will never suggest someone read it. I cant even tell you the whole plot. I know the whole plot by heart. Homestuck is vile. Homestuck is perfect. Homestuck is so bad. Homestuck was revolutionary for me. Homestuck changed the course of my life. I will never talk about it unless under extreme circumstances. Its funny. It influenced my grammer. I dont think about homestuck. I Always think about homestuck. Please talk to me about homestuck. Never talk to me about homestuck. I spent a year of my life terrified that I was going to be struck down for saying Jegus. I never got struck down. I am powerful with this knowledge. I am weakened by this knowledge. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I would not choose it again if the situation were different. It would have chosen me anyway. Read homestuck. Don't think about homestuck.
Easy
what the fuck
family appalled that their very quiet well behaved mature child who never caused any problems has grown up and turned out to have many many problems. more news at 8!
okay but nessie was given the scientific name nessiteras rhombopteryx so she’d be included in the conservation of wild creatures and wild plants act of ‘75.
it’s a felony to shoot bigfoot in washington state.
the human race has sent out messages to the stars, hoping that any extraterrestrials who hear will accept our offer of friendship.
ghost hunters extend their sympathy to the souls of murder victims and bring along items that the spirits loved in life.
I think there’s something very human about the desire to believe in the paranormal. we don’t know if any of these things truly exist, but we make the offer of friendship and protection anyway. I just think it’s really lovely in its own ridiculous way.
I dont know who needs to hear this but if your hobby starts to not be fun, put it down. It's a hobby, not a full time job or something, don't burn yourself out on something that should be entertaining. Physically can't bring yourself to draw? Put it down. Bored with a crochet project? Put it down. Dropped stitches while knitting and filled with rage? Put it down. It'll come back to you
There's a 90% chance I'm gonna abandon this account and all related accounts in order to make an art blog starting fresh. If we are mutuals, if we have spoken in the last 10 years and you'd probably do it again, or if you're just curious to keep up with me, I'll be posting a link whenever I get around to it. If you also have an art blog you want me to follow, drop me a like or dm me the name!
quotes from the star trek novels that makes me feel insane. just bonkers yonkers. absolutely hog wild at 10 in the morning. Like they’re really gonna talk about Spock and Jim like this huh
This is mild by star trek novel standards.
OK, wait, I just looked this up and I think it’s this one where Kirk is – well actually I don’t know what happens to Kirk, but some Star Trek shit, you know the kind, Spock has to fix it – and anyway Jim is lying enchanted science-fictionally asleep in some kind of beautiful room surrounded by flowers and …
But nothing could divert [Spock’s] attention from the slow rise and fall of breath in the broad chest, the flicker under the eyelids in the peaceful, dreaming face.
…
‘Sleeping beauty,’ Omne said. ‘You may perform the awakening - in the traditional manner, if you like.’
Ohhh, that one. (Yeah, Star Trek novels are often Like This.)
Is this the work of a secret slash fan who somehow got hired to write these books? Could that be the case for the other books that are Even More Like This? Because come on. How could it not be?
I would not say “secret”.
@dduane got her start writing Star Trek fanfiction, I believe. And then made the jump to Star Trek novels. That was absolutely a thing that happened a pretty fair deal in Trek fandom back then.
I wrote a lot of (never-published) Trek fanfic in my developmental time, yeah. But to snag a gig as a Trek novelist, you had to have pitched to the editors in the first place (assuming they hadn’t first approached you themselves)… and, statistically speaking, the people most likely to pitch were usually professionals who were Trek fans already. In my case, I was tipped over the edge into pitching by having read one Trek novel that struck me as so substandard that I knew I could do better, and I asked my agent to see if the editors would be willing to look at a pitch from me. They were. 😄 …And we all know how that turned out.
As for other Trek novelists of the 80s: Some of that group of writers did indeed come out of the published-Trekfic pool. And some of them, more or less inevitably, were slash fans. Unquestionably the editors would have known about this when they hired them. Now, the attitude in the Paramount offices to slash was ambivalent at best, so a writer with such preferences was pretty much obliged to be cagey about how they expressed them. But in some cases, surprisingly slashy prose did manage to slip through the editorial and Paramount-vetting processes.
In later years, when control from the LA Trek offices and Paramount corporate tightened down, such occurrences became first rare, then impossible. But early on… let’s just say there was a little more wiggle room for the judicious expression of subtext, and leave it at that. 😏
People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame.
An ant doesn’t start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.
Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does.
It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then…
It’s an ant again.
Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters.
This is madness.
Thank you for this good PSA because I’m still seeing sincere, published, professional writers doing “ahhhhh oh no this monster was SO UGLY i’m mentally ill now!”
forms of eldritch horror include but are not limited to - nobody will ever believe you, you must live alone with this knowledge - you will never feel safe again, and you realize you were never safe before - everything that was familiar is now strange and abhorrent to the point anything that now seems normal should be held in utmost suspicion - having this new knowledge has opened doors that will continually reveal new equally cursed knowledge without end - death and madness are no longer escapes
Data is going to fuck shit up!!!
Data really said ‘maybe violence IS the answer’
My boy data realized that debate was not going to work and saved the lives of over 15,000 people by blowing up an aqueduct with a handheld weapon.
He was all “you see that shit? I’m just one dude and I destroyed the only source of water your colony has with a PISTOL. The fucking Sheliak are on their way and you really want to fight them? They won’t even need to send a robot down here with a phaser. They’ll just bomb you from orbit. Now do you want to stick to your ‘we’ll fight them off!’ plan or do you want to START PACKING AND GET OFF THIS ROCK BEFORE THE ANGRY ALIENS MAKE IT RAIN LASERS AND ANTIMATTER BOMBS?” and the colonists are like “well when you put it that way… Maybe we should get ready to move.”
Meanwhile Picard is playing some 4D diplomatic chess so they’ll have time to get the colonists off the planet, and he pulls it off brilliantly. The Sheliak are deadset on colonizing in 4 days and if they find any humans on that rock, they’re killing then. It’ll take weeks to evacuate them. Picard is looking through every line of the treaty, looking for loopholes, and finding nothing. The Sheliak are a race of lawyers. They don’t make mistakes. But Picard thinks outside the box.
He calls up the Sheliak. “hey, we’re having a disagreement, right? We want you to delay a few weeks, you want to colonize this planet, we can’t reach an agreement. Well the treaty says that we can get a third party to arbitrate this problem, can we do that?”
The Sheliak are like “yeah sure but they’re gonna rule in our favor, that contract is perfect.”
And Picard smiles his ass off and goes “OK GREAT for the third party I’m picking the Grizzelas.”
And the Sheliak lose their shit. The Grizzelas are a race that hibernate. They’re gonna be in hibernation for SIX MORE MONTHS. But according to the treaty, Picard gets to pick who will arbitrate the disagreement.
Picard’s like “I see you’re not happy about my choice. How about I agree to skip arbitration for a small favor? How about… Three weeks to evacuate that colony?”
And the Sheliak are like “OK FINE YOU WIN, SHINY-HEAD. YOU GET YOUR THREE DAMN WEEKS.”
I just love the episode. Data saves the day by realizing that sometimes debate isn’t enough and you need violence. Picard saves the day by rules-lawyering a race of lawyers and avoiding violence.
"you look tired" well the torment is relentless and the horrors never cease
