Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.

Some more Rain World-inspired art! This time I tried to draw the Iterators - Looks to the Moon and Five Pebbles - as the Towers, mysterious entities from my original lore. They have the form of huge surreal structures, I shared a little about them in my previous Rain World-inspired post. Tower's avatars are usually depicted as these tall, leggy and hairy spirits, and so I tried to give LTTM and FP a form of these. It's just a fantasy on "what they might look like if they lived in my world", I like to draw this type of fanart, expressing my inspiration and appreciation for the characters and media I love (and oh, I absolutely love Rain World! I'm glad I was inspired enough to go through this unique experience myself, now it's one of my favorite games <3)

LTTM was the first one that came to my mind - I imagined her looking like an ancient statue, dark and dull due to time and the water she is in, being crippled and having most of her structure destroyed and submerged under water. Yet, her aura feels calm and peaceful, and she greets the little Kotie - a fantasy feline from my lore. The Kotie character is random, but his color makes me think of Monk, so let's assume it's his Kotie version :)

FP was harder to design, as I wanted to keep his original colors, and so he came out as such a fancy and sparkly creature, and… wow, I love it! I rarely use such bright colors in my art, but it worked unexpectedly well, also creating an expressive contrast with his dark and rotten part. It made made me wonder if something like that could have actually happened to the Tower in my lore (after all, we already have the Black Pyramid, the idea of which is that something very unfortunate happened to it...)

They should ship Brennan Lee Mulligan over to the UK and make him compete in Taskmaster. I think it'd be sort of a vacation from the kind of experiments that Sam plays on him

at the fishing tournament yesterday btw there were age categories bc it was all-inclusive and we didn't want like 60 year old anglers competing against 4 years olds obviously.

so anyway this 14 year old boy entered in the 11-15 age bracket and he saw a huge fish in the water he became absolutely determined to catch. i don't think he even wanted to win anymore. he just wanted that fish specifically. but his line wasn't strong enough for such a big fish and didn't have the ideal bait.

enter: two 15 year old boys who didn't know him. they saw what he was trying to do, and they were clearly experienced anglers, and they got involved in the chase. they got the right bait and the three of them spent hours with their lines in the water, until the first boy finally hooked the fish. they talked him through the slow challenge of endurance. he couldn't reel in all at once because the fish was too heavy for his line and it'd break.

he finally reeled it in, but they didn't have a net. it took all three of them, lying on their bellies, six hands on the fish, to pull it out of the water. they put it in a big bucket of water for the weigh-in (we just subtracted the bucket+water weight after), gave their new friend careful instruction on how to handle the fish so he could pose for a hasty photo without injuring its spine, and then carefully placed the fish back in the water.

in the end, he won first place in his age bracket. one of the other boys who helped him tied for second with a 12-year-old competitor, and he gave her the trophy.

then during the drawing, where participants won prizes randomly if I pulled their name from a box, I happened to pull his name and he got a great prize so it all came around.

Idk. the teamwork. the serendipity of friendship. the graciousness. the consideration for the fish. Just some things that made me happy.

Honestly, if you're a kid and an adult tells you "they're just trying to get a reaction out of you :)" as a response to being told that some younger kid is tormenting you, that should count as full permission to punt that little shit. Like I would never hit a child, but if you're seven years old and a five-year-old is being a cunt at you and adults just tell you "oh they just want to find out what happens if they keep doing that", wouldn't only be fair to let them know what happens if they keep doing that?

Siblings should never be left responsible of raising each other, but if adults have decided that they are allowed to fuck around, wouldn't it only be your right - or even downright duty - to let them consequently find out?
