Return of the Atom Age Zombie

An immoral and reprehensible piece of trash.

OMFG, a Pinned Post!

Greetings Tumblrnauts, and welcome to my Tumblr blog, or "Tumblog" as the young people don't call it.

Anyway, I'm Z (they/them) some kind of saucy internet cartoonist, tabletop game designer, and YouTuber. Yes, I do many things and do each of them spectacularly.

I suppose most notably, I am on the YouTube where I do videos on fun quirky obscure TTRPGs—that nobody watches—and boring generic popular TTRPGs—that people do watch sometimes.

I also make tabletop role-playing games!

My games tend to be based around somewhat eccentric topics—In general, they contain neither dungeons nor dragons—which in addition to being wildly unpopular, also makes them more sophisticated. You can find those at Itch.io, and mostly older work at DrivethruRPG

Wow, I wonder who did all the amazing art for these books. Oh yeah, it was me! Yes, I am also an incredibly talented cartoonist with a focus on fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and absurdist content. See more in my art tag!

Also, you can literally pay me to draw things for you. Yes, even those kinds of things. Do I have a secret NSFW account? Maybe, I'll never tell.

You will also see my posting a lot about other random junk, as I stopped trying to make this a "professional" account where I only post my own work when I gave up on ever building an audience. So you'll see a lot of sci-fi, fantasy, tokusatsu, and horror stuff here. Actually, I've literally got an entire second blog just for talking about horror movies @thevideodungeon

Ah Pride, the time of year when corporations pretend to care about the rights of queer people, and queer people wholeheartedly fight for the rights of corporations for some reason.

The adult content warning on this post is really just the icing on the cake

to be serious a moment later, the idea that any kind of sex you want to have has to pass a mythical Feminism Threshold or else having it is unfeminist and toxic and bad for all women. is redfem dogshit. no one needs to approve of how you fuck. your body is not a temple to an ideology, and if you wanted to get spitroasted by those vampire dudes after their interview, then that wouldn’t be betraying feminism.

Maybe this is an unpopular hot take, but I think a good monster girl design should struggle with day-to-day life in a human world. If your monster girl can live a normal human life where her greatest inconvenience is wet dog smell or people assuming her tail is fake, you need to mix more monster in your girl.

Harpies who can't write or type or open most containers with their wings. Werewolves who worry about hurting someone if they get overstimulated at the wrong time. Minotaurs with digestive systems and metabolisms which require grazing throughout the day, not the three big meals humans are used to.

Lamias who have to stay home in the evenings and during cold months to stay warm, otherwise their muscles stop working right and they get stranded. And they're sick of their human friends suggesting they get some kind of tail sweater. It wouldn't help, the problem is that their body doesn't produce enough heat to begin with, and anyways a tail garment would get in the way of their rectilinear locomotion, and there's no way a sweater would survive being walked on in the first place. It feels like they don't actually care about you being stuck at home whenever they go out, they just want to feel like it's not their fault they never see you.

If your monster girl can't be read as some kind of disability allegory, you're doing something wrong.

I love how the tri-boob has made the full journey from horrible cringy trope to ironically-beloved horrible cringy trope.

Hello! Can you help me with this font?

Arnold Böcklin (1904) [Daylight Fonts · Fonts In Use · Identifont]

This example uses a redesigned capital I that's different from the original 1904 version:

You see it often in graphics, the peculiar letter I that looks like a J. It's found in German decorative types, and there's a reason: The Germans, in days gone by, didn't set their display lines in all-caps. The peculiar I works well when used as the first letter in a line of lowercase, but is dreadful when seen in an all-caps setting. The makers of fonts and dry-transfer lettering, who sometimes appear not to know much about type, seem content to ignore the problem. At Solotype, however, we always redesign an appropriate letter I for all-caps use. Another sneaky way we avoid dreadful typography.

And Boecklins Universe is a free alternative that I use frequently.
