Veridius is missing another update because the technical issues at #patreon are still ongoing. This has been extremely frustrating cause its basically crippled how I post this stuff.

If anyone has any ideas on other ways to get a serial out with self-publishing by all means give me recommendations.

thinking about the time they sent me a seven year old autistic patient to investigate if he was suffering abuse because in every psychological test he kept drawing awful monsters

and I start the consultation already miserable as fuck and I give the kid some pen and paper so I can maybe communicate and see what's on his mind

and then I go WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND I KNOW THOSE MONSTERS

turns out the kid just had a special interest in Five Nights at Freddy's

spookybuttons
I pointed at the monster and went "That's Freddy!" and I've never seen a kid that ecstatic in my life

the mom looked at me as if her son and I belonged at the same satanic cult and that's why I knew the names of the demons in his head

I wrote back to psychologist like "I'm not sure how to explain this but looking up five nights at freddys might bring you progress with this patient"

spookybuttons
at some point the nurses realized the autistic children and I were like, Really Vibing

so they decided to highkey just appoint all of them to my day and it took me almost a month to realize that the fact that I kept arriving and finding that all of today's appointments were autistic children was Not A Coincidence

anyway this one time there was a kid who was really into christianity but it was like, specifically angels

so I'm trying to start up a conversation with him and I ask what he's reading and he goes "do you know what a nephilim is"

and like for one hellish second my soul is suckerpunched out of my body and thrown straight into supernatural-fanfic-on-wattpad hell, and then I reassume control of my flesh prison, ignoring the mental edits of Dean and Castiel making out, and go "Aren't those the guys who are half human and half angel?"

and the kid was so fucking happy but the mom was staring at me like why are you privy to this bit of occult jesus lore'

and my heathen lesbian of a self just looks at her and goes

"i love bible"

I tell you what, you get me one and/or make sure a dead mage is on my path so I can find it and I'll wear it. It looks warm.

Welp, this last chemo has my hair falling out in clumps. Suggestions for cute beanies? I have a feeling I'm about to shave my head. I might bust the $40 for the owlbear beanie on larion's site but that's just so much money for a hat that will likely itch.

I might be wrong but I vaguely remember a study where people had a higher enjoyment of a movie if it starred a male with black hair and blue eyes.

That was from years ago though and I don't know if it is still true.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

My recommendation is to start with water, and do impressionistic style first, so that you're drawing/painting abstract color and light first, instead of lines. At least that's my first idea. *shrug*

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 3d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way.
Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto-

Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen.
Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic?

Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all.
Extremely realistic Green: Of course.

Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion.
Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag?
Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

Please keep going, bro. Take breaks if you need them. Take care of yourself. Shut things down for a bit. Surround yourself with your favourite things. Just keep going. I get it's easier said than done. I've been through this. It's crushing sometimes. Please don't give up. Don't let anyone else win.
