Coworker type women are always like "you know how it is with husbands" but I don't. I don't know how it is. Your experience of husband seems to be guy who doesn't give a shit about you. My experience of husband is mostly guy who won't stop singing "Pastyme With Good Companye" (a bad song written by Henry VIII) at 9pm.

I just think that 'animals are living intelligent creatures that have feelings and deserve to be respected' and 'when done properly farming is beneficial to both people and animals and there's nothing wrong with raising and killing animals for food, clothing, and other products' are concepts that very much can and should coexist

still thinking about "people are too important to be brought into this world through accident, or malice. people should be wanted." btw. such a good fucking perspective on being pro-choice everybody say thank you tobias forge

got assigned crystal for this year of artfight ; Warning that we just moved out in a new apartment and our exhaustion level is reaching a Terrifying high. we will not participate in the first half of the month, likely. we just Cannot... but it'll really be nice to eventually join when we get some juice back...

but fret not, there are lots of cool friends you can attack earlier. notably: @estecka artfight.net/~Estecka (brand new to AF in 2025) @minasnorma artfight.net/~MinasNorma (brand new to AF) @crocobotto artfight.net/~Crocobot @katslovesalmon artfight.net/~Carlos @shascarnival artfight.net/~ShasCarnival @pnkrathian artfight.net/~pnkrathian the three last ones have been to my experience heavy art hitters ! (which is delightful, love seeing them churning masses of drawings)

there are other friends too but i don't currently have their artfight name (pwease send them to me) or they are currently still not team-assigned and i don't know if they'll participate this year. may add them later.

have fun everyone !

landlord white paint is NOT neutral, it's dysfunction-coded (hostile to the functionality of all door hinges/electronics/everything in general + hospital ambiance + reminds you that you have to do lots of efforts to unmake it, that you can't furnish because you're disabled and have too few energy...)

is unidentifiable unflavoured and untextured slop a neutral meal ? or is it disgusting and only fit for mistreated dogs ? society worships blandness like it fears difference. this is not a life. free yourselves. and let others have fun

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

it’s like this.

if you only have one person in your life that you trust, you probably are always going to turn to that person when something shit happens. as well as whenever something good happens. or anything else. this is not inherently a bad thing, and it’s really beautiful to have someone in your life that you trust so much

but if that person is suddenly busy or going through something difficult themselves or doesn’t have emotional capacity for a while, suddenly there’s a problem. not necessarily through any fault of your own, you don’t have anyone to turn to with as much regularity as you did before

this is true of any kind of relationship. this is true of any kind of coping mechanism, also. the problem is not that you trust that person. the problem is not that you use that coping mechanism. the problem is not even that there’s something wrong with you and that it’s all your fault. the problem is that nothing can be everything

the solution is not to cut off your one trusted person or to cut yourself off from your one trusted coping mechanism. the solution is to do the difficult work of diversifying your life as much as it’s possible for you to do. which is why it sucks so much when external factors prevent you from being able to live a truly diverse life. okay that’s all have a good one

being abused or neglected really makes it clear how many things are skills that nobody really treats as. skills. exercising autonomy is a skill. listening to your body is a skill. resting is a skill. being liked and being loved are skills. nobody tells you how to do this shit because nobody even told me I was supposed to have learnt these things when I was a kid. I kind of just have to manually figure out what makes me freak out and work from there. unfair as shit

The Field Guide to the Outer Wilds is a wonderful art book that is mostly a fun ride full of pretty pictures and telling a lot about the history of this game's design, but it does contain its fair share of info about lore that either was considered at some point, or still is. Seems like we have a case of the latter on our hands here!

The Nomai's ability to reshape matter around them already visible in-game with a couple examples that are either obvious (Solanum creating projection stones and levitating rocks to make the pillars for her conversation) or more subtle to notice (the road signs that can be knocked off and will rebuild themselves after a couple instants) -- but the art book fully solidifies just how far it goes, by mentioning this on multiple pages and showing that the initial Nomai architecture design was really intended to reflect this extruding and reshaping method of construction.

Anyway, two light bulbs flashed in my mind when I read about this: first off, so cool, and second, this requires some real high quality shitpost. Don't mind that this has been sitting as a WIP in my files for... °checks notes° ...almost two months. Well, uh, the lore map work and real life are also to blame I suppose fsjdklgs

(PS: Don't praise the art too hard, especially not the staff -- as the bonus page shows, game assets and screenshots were used for basically everything that isn't a living character, for the sake of saving time and effort on the parts of the comic that mattered way less in my mind than, y'know, the joke and characters' silly faces.)

(PPS: Ignore that Hal's pouch is on the wrong side, I only looked up a ref sheet after I was already done with the lineart and needed to get the colors 😭 Also ignore the fact that even with a 3D model as reference I still managed to get a staff blessed with a quantumly undefined size that changes in every panel to fit the user's needs)

Some of you guys have never burned a CD and it shows

i think too many people operate under the assumption that emotions are some frivilous fantasy of the mind and have no impact on the physical world, which is a cute thought when Humans are an animal that can die from being kinda stressed out
