Got a local election coming up this week? Fucking vote. Incumbent for my mayor is a revolting anti-vax MAGA-fuck. Wants to turn densely-populated downtown into a trash-burning site. Everybody hates him, agrees he should be in fucking jail, yet almost nobody votes. Voter turnout of 35% is pathetic.

Angry as I am, I picked up Animal Crossing solely as a silly way to keep in touch with my niece. She lost her shit, she was so excited that I could play with her now.

I wasn't expecting much besides that--life sims n such aren't usually my kinda genre.

But yall. I get it now.

I will never forgive my ignorant, selfish sister for moving her family to one of the states currently sending troops to occupy DC. They had no reason to move--not work, not for relatives, definitely not for education--but "just because". Far as I'm concerned she's now a traitor to me and our family.

Regret not making splatfest art for summerween again, but it's been another summer of trash and I couldn't motivate myself to draw past a couple of sketches.

Had a good time playing, though. Especially appreciate the peeps who goof off and party in the lobby with me pre-match.

Was told they'd be moving sometime mid-late July. I thought I still had more time.

Nope. Just found out today they're actually leaving end of June now.

Just found out that my sister and her family are moving to a red state down south. It's her life and she can do what she wants, but I'm allowed to be fucking disgusted and angry with her. She is going to fucking ruin my niece and nephew's lives (particularly my niece's, with their sexist laws).

User-created in-game black-and-white pixel drawing in Splatoon 3 for the current Splatoween splatfest, Wizard v Knight v Ninja. It shows Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service flying above the town on her broom, cat Jiji tucked between her arms. Tombo can be seen riding his bike on a winding road in the lower left of the canvas, elevated a bit above the rest of the town. The ocean and clouds and silhouettes of seagulls are in the background.

A needed break from my usual "everything is bad" mode: yesterday was two years since TotK dropped. So here are the splatposts I made for the special #Splatoon3 #Zelda splatfest to celebrate its release.

A TRIFORCE OF ART

Black-and-white pixel drawing for Team Power, made in Splatoon 3 for the special Zelda splatfest in May 2023 to celebrate the release of Tears of the Kingdom.

It shows the TotK version of Ganondorf in the foreground, fist raised in front of him as he yells out in anger. He is clothed in a Gerudo robe and several pieces of armor/jewelry. Got a little peak of them abs and a tiddy, too, which everyone was thirsting for when they finally revealed "hydrated" TotK Ganondorf. Yeah, I know what the people want.

Behind him in the background is the boar-beast Ganon, based on his Ocarina of Time appearance because I think that's the coolest version. Ganon roars upward into the sky, revealing sharp teeth, his head framed by his large demonic horns.

Floating above his head is the Triforce, the holy relic of Hyrule consisting of three triangles that make up a larger triangle. Here, the top triangle, the Triforce of Power, is illuminated and displays the Power symbol.

Black-and-white pixel drawing for Team Wisdom, made in Splatoon 3 for the special Zelda splatfest in May 2023 to celebrate the release of Tears of the Kingdom.

It shows the TotK version of Princess Zelda in the foreground, shooting an arrow with the Bow of Light. She has a fiercely determined look of solemn duty and purpose on her face, and her archery pose is achieved via extreme foreshortening: the bow appears closer to the viewer as Zelda targets her off-screen enemy from farther back.

Behind her is Shiek, her alter-ego from Ocarina of Time. Sheik is just super cool, I mean, it's SHEIK! With arms, fingers, and head wrapped in bandages for disguise and masking their face, their identity is hidden until it was finally revealed in an epic scene in the final stretch of OoT: Shiek poses with their left arm across their chest and their right arm straight up in front of them, a single eye watching intently between their thumb and forefinger. And then the Triforce of Wisdom appears on their right hand! A flash of light AND BAM THERE'S ZELDA! RAW AS FUCK

As such, Sheik is making that exact pose. Floating in front of Sheik's right hand is the Triforce, the holy relic of Hyrule consisting of three triangles that make up a larger triangle. Here, the left triangle, the Triforce of Wisdom, is illuminated and displays the Wisdom symbol.

Black-and-white pixel drawing for Team Courage, made in Splatoon 3 for the special Zelda splatfest in May 2023 to celebrate the release of Tears of the Kingdom.

It shows the TotK version of Link in the foreground, his right arm raised up (via extreme foreshortening) as he holds aloft a rusted and decaying Master Sword. He holds an old wooden shield in his left arm. His face is also fiercely determined in silent duty, his eyes looking behind him and toward the Master Sword. He wears the TotK Champion Tunic and the Hylian hood (hood down, so it appears more like a cape).

Behind him in the background are a few references to past Links. First is Dark Link, his doppelganger arguably most infamous in Ocarina of Time. He appears almost entirely in shadowy black, except for his sleeves, hair, and stark white pupil-less eyes. He is turned away from us, showing a Hylian Shield across his back, as he glances over his shoulder and raises his right arm to slowly unsheath his sword.

Behind Dark Link is the Hero's Shade from Twlight Princess, the armored skeletal spirit of Ocarina of Time's Link. As such, a little ball fairy, Navi, floats by his head. I like Navi, she was there with Link through time, how dare anyone say bad things about her!

Floating near the top of the canvas behind the tip of TotK Link's decaying Master Sword is the Triforce, the holy relic of Hyrule consisting of three triangles that make up a larger triangle. Here, the right triangle, the Triforce of Courage, is illuminated and displays the Courage symbol.

Heard at work this morning:

"Women are just emotional creatures"

My dumbass dude, the world is regressing into shit-swimming hell because men can't control themselves and their fucking emotions. Look at yourselves.

Parody-of-a-Justice Brett Kavanaugh with a toddler-esque tantrum face, angry and emotional before devolving into a blubbering crying mess of spit and tears, during his Supreme Court hearing.

Scrunch-faced trump looking typically angry and emotional, wrinkly eyebrows furrowed to the center of his crunchy face--mouth gnarled into a grotesque shape showing his teeth as he rapidly yells into a microphone like a screaming brat. Both fists raised as though he can't decide which dick to suck first.

Hilary Clinton during her 11-hour Benghazi hearing. She rests the side of her face in her hand, with a calm look of bored "what is this bullshit?" After hours of intense questioning that she calmly faced, the emotional frothing vitriol and misogynistic mudslinging from Republicans and MAGA trash, and millions of dollars wasted, Clinton was found innocent of any wrongdoing.

A calm Kamala Harris, hand to her chin, looking amused at the idiocy of her debate opponent trump as he emotionally raves about something stupid and incontrovertibly false, like the very hateful stories about Haitians eating pets and doctors aborting and killing babies after they're born.

SpongeBob reaction meme, in which a fish character (named Martin?) looks into a toilet in a restroom and is disgusted with what he sees inside. In the original context, he finds a realistic sponge (SpongeBob hiding from a bully) and says "oh that's real nice" with a look of half-lidded, exhausted disgust. Like he's sick of this shit.

The meme here has been edited to show RFK Jr. in the toilet, with the fish character Martin saying "oh that's health secretary RFK Jr swimming in a literal shit creek"

Solidarity with Martin--we are all sick of this shit.

Dem leadership really should be more worried about doing nothing right now

Gru (from Despicable Me) meme in which he gives a presentation with a large notepad. Edited to reflect demand pitiful limp-dicked response to what's currently happening. Panel 1: Gru looks assertive as he lays out the first part of his plan, "Lose the election against a literal Nazi fascist". Panel 2: Gru zeroes in on the next phase of his plan, "Do nothing to prepare for a fascist regime and make social media posts as they flagrantly carry out a coup unopposed". Panel 3: Gru appears menacing as he details the final result of his plan, "Become detained or killed as political prisoners by summer". Panel 4: Gru has a worried expression as he looks at what is still written on the notepad, "Become detained or killed as political prisoners by summer".
