A digital illustration of two hands with long nails emerging from a swirling ribbon that says "Smile Now, Cry Never." Each hand is reaching for a D20, one a nat 20, the other a 1. A feathered and furred puppet of an owlbear on a light purple backdrop. The puppeteer is partly visible in the lower left corner, operating the wire for the arm. A photo of a hand holding a cut out valentine of an ouroboros with the words "did you let me die in your arms in the time loop" in the centre. In the background is the rest of the sheet of valentines. A tarot card sticker on a furry blue background. It's an edit of The Fool, but with Odie wearing a jack-o'-lantern on his head.

A very good read with some very relatable bits, for me.

Also, just a grand perspective on things, and ya'll should give this a look—about 5 minutes +/-

Ongoing thesis. Every day is #makeaterriblecomicday if you want it to be >:3
A scanned image of a sketchbook featuring a text-laden comic. Text in the first panel reads "Let's speak plainly. I like to tell a joke. I enjoy people laughing at something funny I did or made or said. I intend this. When I don't intend it, I pretend I did." In this panel, a wolf is shown against a background of brick speaking to a laughing audience, stating, "Where am I? Which way to the restroom?" In the next panel, text reads "There are also things I am angry about that I am trying to draw attention to. This is often 3, 5 times deep into a joke from the surface level." Below this text, a wolf regards a book open on a librarian's pedestal, remarking "You photocopied a book from a kindle??" which another wolf look one with a sense of devious accomplishment. In the next panel, text reads "When such a statement is revealed after the laughter, after the humor has opened a place in one's heart, it's a good as a labyrinth. Time and space to lower defenses and receive a message deep inside, to contemplate one's own self, to think on it. The laughing wolf from the previous panel is found at the end of a floor labyrinth, doubled over with emotion at an open book. The other wolf from the previous panel looks on, twiddling his fingers deviously. The final panel depicts a Venn diagram with two overlapping circles. The left circle reads "Humor as a disarming device" the second reads "presenting ideas as a funny cartoon animal" in the overlapped area, the author's fursona, a simply drawn cartoon wolf, winks at the viewer.

Soooo.

A little over a month ago, I started using a habit tracker I set up in Google Sheets to give my day structure/goals.

Here's a guide on how to do it yourself.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

The repository site will always be open-access and free to use: with so much AI noise online now, I can’t put it behind a paywall.

But: this project is not funded. It runs entirely on donations.

This is the thread for my minicomic, Into the Bladelands! I will be posting updates of anywhere from 2-4 pages here, hopefully to be finished before the end of the year.

Sky disappears. Ari gets left behind. Five years later, the door to the Bladelands opens again.
Into the Bladelans cover Ari (vo): When I was sixteen, my best friend disappeared. We grew up together in the woods between our houses. Sky could have fun no matter what. Sky: Pick up your sword and fith me like a man! Ari: Wait for me! Ari (vo): My favorite thing to do was just live in his world. Bully: Whatcha drawin, faggots? The map to your honeymoon? Sky punches him. Later, Ari tends to his wounds. Sky: You probably think I'm really stupid. Ari: I just think you're really brave. They kiss. Sky: We can't tell anyone about this, okay? Ari: Yeah, of course. A couple years pass. Sky and Ari are looking at the stars. Sky: Y'know, I think about it all the time. Ari: What we've been doing? Sky: No, man, the Bladelands! We'd run shit over there. Be warriors or kings or whatever. Ari: Heh, too bad it's not real. Sky: well, it could be. Ari: Dude. Sky: I'm just saying! Maybe we were picking up a signal or something. Like a radio station from another state, but with dragons. It feels like that sometimes. Y'know, I turn 17 tomorrow. And I'm starting to freak out a little because, like, this is it? I thought I could be more than this. Ari: Hey, you can be! When we're 18, we can get out of here. We'll move to the city. Together. Sky: I guess... it still just all feels so small. At least in the Bladelands, there's magic. And prophecy, and swords, and danger. You can be an adventurer. You can at least be, like, an important person. Ari: You're important, Sky. You're important to me. Sky: Heh. Gayyy. Ari: Shut up. Ari (VO): That was the last night I ever saw him. Ari walks away. Sky spots a mysterious portal behind a tree and reaches out to it. Ari (Vo): The next day, he was gone. We see a montage of Ari's lonely life. Sky's parents mourn and move away. Ari graduates. Gets a job working at a bookstore. The impromptu memorial for Sky rots. Ari (VO): And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next. And then five years were gone.

D&D 5e has a rule against giving deities stat blocks because if they did then players would kill them.

I think gods should have stat blocks so that players will kill them.

There is no better way to understand artists than to realize that they have far more of the charlatan, the huckster, and the con man in them than they do the visionary and and the saint. And frankly that’s half the appeal.
