"MIT DASEIN BUDAI", a portrait of @mitdasein.bsky.social as the wandering monk Budai.

i have known Sean for maybe like 15 or 16 years [since we met on LiveJournal]. he is an avowed nudist possessed by an affection for technological arts, a cynical wit, and a sincere dedication to autonomy.

a man with a big bushy beard and a steepled nose and a swollen belly. his dick is out. he is partly out of his orange robe, holding a Chinese gold ingot and a golden bag of something no doubt special. he is sitting in the bushes which resemble lotus petals. he looks content.

HOPE YOU GOT $$$TENBUX$$$ because then you can check out my artbook "POWER":
ko-fi.com/s/f0c582ca07

works including:
- my horror comic PLACES HAUNTED
- my short story S.W.I.M., a snapshot of Taipei's party scene
- previously unseen works including early visionary paintings

five bird dudes with pitch-black humanoid bodies and white heads. they have collections of unique curving lines on their faces, and large vacant eyes like those of skulls.

a marker and ink drawing which shows figure in purple with a striped obi bound with a yellow belt. she has an aura of darkness about her. the swirling background is full of caricatures - a beefy blonde man, a stumbling lady, a dour dog-like creature, and more. it makes use of complimentary color to create a psychedelic effect.

a lone figure stands atop a rock bearing his unsheathed rapier, his red cape with yellow circles billowing in the wind. a single red flower blooms at the top of the rock, and his dead horse lies at the bottom. before him stretches out a desert with a titanic, serpent-like creature with a spiny tentaculous face swimming through it. the red serpent has struck a green dragon from the air by the throat, and they are framed before the purple moon and yellow sky

What, all of the dictionaries? Four screen caps here from four separate sources listing it as the first definition.

Lines, I must say, I would never in a million years claim you to be illiterate in any regard. :)

Square Enix has someone on their writing team that doesn't know "fundament" means "butthole".

The ability set for the Squire class in Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is "Buttholes".

A screencap from the new Final Fantasy Tactics remaster showing that the Squire's special ability set is called "Fundaments", which means "Buttholes"

My digital artbook 'POWER' is a folio of paintings from 2009-2019 including your favorites like these here, as well as a never-before-seen short story 'SWIM' that I wrote for a local zine about Taipei party culture.

Get it here: ko-fi.com/s/f0c582ca07

a skinny pale figure in a cape swinging a scimitar around rides into the atmosphere of some cosmic body on a bloody comet. stars sparkle in the background

a mostly blue painting with a white moon of an angry little dude in a tower in a jungle. there are trees and water and a darkening sky.

a pale figure chased by green hands up a purple well. the well has a ring of markings around it a little above the pale figure, perhaps insects or dice. the wall of the well is dented and scratched, in some places red. at the top is a broken rope and three weird figures waiting. one has a long twisted nose, another the skull of a bird. the moon and stars are red.

to do this I visualize myself as the Disco Elysium main character choosing questions for people off my dialogue tree

door-opening operation.
COMPOSURE [Legendary: Failure] - Is he?
He's looking comfortable enough --maybe it was just beads? Sounded like beads. But what kind of beads might a man like Gary be hiding beneath his clothes?
1. - "Gary, are you cross-dressing by any chance?"
2. - Are those prayer beads I keep hearing?"
3. - "Are you currently sporting some
*anal beads*?"
YOU -"Are you currently sporting some
*anal beads*?"
KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant leans in confidentially. "You wouldn't be able to hear if he were wearing anal beads," he whispers.
GARY, THE CRYPTOFASCIST - "Of course, of course." He forces a grin, no doubt hiding some *colossal* anal beads up his butt as he does so.

Yeah, they're part of the groove at the knee-side end of the space that the tension cords run through in a BJD. :)

some BJD parts being displayed, looks like they're influenced by asian BJD designs but i don't know which company made them or if they're someone's custom design

GRIMOIRE UPDATE:

- Useful arcana from my jaunt across time recorded as comprehensible prose sigil
- Advisement for the adept and novice alike
- A marvelous art object which will reward investigation

Upcoming later this month, it will be on my store priced at $20 USD: ko-fi.com/powerrr

the introduction to the text which is filled with abstracted writing and colorful glyphs

a small preview of a page from my upcoming grimoire

an index page, many colors and words and markings drawn all over it. perhaps it, itself contains a spell.

a page containing a spell which must be gazed into. it is perhaps not complete, a work in progress.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS "MONGOLIA"

›having a conversation with a female coworker
>we are both somewhat into history/geography and what not
›she asks what's my
favorite chinese dynasty
> answer the ming dynasty
›she's visibly disappointed
What was the correct answer? I think I might have ruined my chances with her
