Sketchy colored drawing of horned character sitting with one arm on the knee, showing off his nails on hand. He is smiling and is clearly happy. There are sparkles and hearts around him and whole drawing is with blue to green to pink colors with synthwave/vaporwave/y2k vibes!

Character is Xan and he is my OC!

Who is alive, has thumbs stored somewhere probably safe, hurt their back, and has been writing in the early mornings before rentwork?

Probably this guy. We're not sure about the thumbs though.

Hope everyone is hanging in and making it through.

I don’t suppose “serial murders” would be appropriate. Also off the table: “killer bees”, “biological warfare” and “all the ways Clive Barker killed people and his interesting yet troubling complexities about gay relationships”

Honestly, I never know how to answer. I deflect that one pretty hard.

Ran into some tech trouble so rage napped, fixed it, and am now doing some reading while indulging in the best #viewfromhere there ever was. #frankenpup

It’s my birthday!

I’m going to stream!

Basically that’s it. I’m going to stream until I’m tired. Borderlands 4, Escape the Backrooms, Devour. Probably Phasmophobia. PlateUp. Other games as I feel it.

You know. Chaos games!

See you soon. twitch.tv/outergodinc

Now: snow leopards.

Picture of 2 snow leopards. Large predator cats with white fur and black and gray spot patterns. And big, long, bushy, ridiculously adorable cat tails. As god and nature intended.

Why don’t they make phone cases with charm strap loops anymore? I don’t want a knobby pop holder digging into my ass when I sit, I want BFF dangly bits hanging off the device that costs more than my rent back when phone straps were actually a thing.

Fifteen minutes into a nice casual zoo stroll and #frankenpup is way too tired to stand up to drink some water. Gosh, how come no one told him he’d be running a marathon? 😏

If we're talking SNEAKERS, Dan Aykroyd's conspiracy theories are great; mostly because I'm not sure if they're the character's, or if they're Aykroyd's.

I am alive! Just got knocked around by post-covid remnants. Feeling better, though stamina's taken a hit.

Back to writing in the wee early morning hours, and work is work. Hope y'all are hanging in there and grabbing the positive things that slide into your world.
