Do you like mecha? Kaiju? Pacific Rim?

Then maybe you'll like this one-shot I wrote for the Pacific Rim Drift Swap: archiveofourown.org/works/65858146

Was thinking to myself recently how if there was one area of life that AI seems less likely to replace, it would be the military, so the whole “use digital soldiers” plot felt a bit ignorant of the times. (We already have drones, but still use soldiers.)

Brilliant review.

Reboot: The Guardian Code be like "We're average teens in a vaguely North American city that can be in either Canada or the US but all the music we listen to happen to be artists from Vancouver."

I'm getting Reboot: The Guardian Code vibes from some of this and I don't know how to feel about that.

Looks like there's a little too much CG instead of practical for my tastes when it comes to this kind of thing, but I guess I'll give it a look at some point. youtu.be/NGWxAN1f6Po?...

That being said if I were to, say, spend most of my day at a wedding and not really draw then, I'd be fine with that. I don't need to draw every day.

The thing is, it's easier to scribble something in my notebook while at work than to sit down and write a whole paragraph. I can write at work too, but mostly just quick notes. A quick sketch by contrast is easier to pull off and look more complete.

Alaska is a beautiful state. I’ve been there.

It doesn’t deserve this.

The writers of Grimm are probably seeing what’s going on in Portland right now and thinking “God damn it, we could have done something with this.”

That doesn’t mean I’m not aware of the other things that group is associated with, but that’s another discussion.

I keep thinking about what new movement will emerge in reaction to the current Evangelical climate, but then I remembered my parents grumbling about this new thing within our denomination that is controversial because it… teaches people that God loves them.

The thing about drawing every day is that I’m fully aware that it’s not necessary to improve your art.

But… I do draw every day, even if I don’t always share what I draw.

I mean, it’s not like Kellogg didn’t encourage circumcision in an attempt to discourage American males from masturbating, but whatever…

Toto @magicaldogtoto.bsky.social · 17h

Hey, Adventists (and everyone else who practices circumcision), are you seeing this???

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 22h

RFK Jr: Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol.

Trump: There's a tremendous amount of of proof or evidence. I would say as a non-doctor, but I've studied this a long time

Tron (the 80's original) is notably a movie about how a fast-evolving computer program gobbles up everything it can find, financed & protected by an executive who stole a whole library of artistic creations from a small-time creator & labeled them as his own for profit.

These have been making the rounds on tumblr, so you should also see my decade-old fanart of Wicked Lady

A young woman in a dark flowing hair in a dress modeled after, I think, an Elie Saab dress from the mid-2010s. She’s under a red parasol.

The same young woman with two spiral oxhorn pigtails in a white dress.

There came a time when the old gods died! The brave died with cunning! The noble perished, locked in battle with unleashed evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
