Arson botched a landing during a gust of wind and had to bail.

Someone tell them to be less beautiful, I can't handle it

Must. Keep. Petting.

My alarm goes off, and these two come immediately for first petting

Ah, the reblogs continue to try to correct that this is not a run-on sentence because the semicolon is used correctly. But fools! Twas only a distraction from the lack of comma and period! A single correct semicolon does not proper punctuation make! You've all fallen for my dastardly ruse! Mwaha!

hey you're doing a great job, just remember: a semicolon can be used to combine two sentences where you might otherwise use a period; this allows you to create longer and longer run-on sentences

How am I supposed to get up like this

From lint he came and to lint he shall return. Start the dryer, baby.

Augh artist's statements!!! If I could explain it with words I wouldn't have to freaking sculpt it I hate this

I've started the process of documentation on the last labyrinth, which is...an undertaking.

In all these years, I've never learned how to tag someone, so I have to come to you directly, to show you the tears on my cheeks because he's sitting so quietly, curled up, watching a world he'll never know through a tiny crack in the wall.

Thank you!

You know, it's a little odd. All of the pieces in this series are about isolation and escape--Icarus, Orpheus and Eurydice, Prometheus, and certainly the Minotaur. But A Crack in the Labyrinth came first, and more than any of the rest, it's about resignation. About having fought and scrabbled and clawed desperately and still...not having made it. Still being trapped inside, alone.

And when I made it, I hadn't really intended to say anything more than that one piece, but I just couldn't leave it there. I had to give him the whole story--an innocent beginning, same as anyone. I couldn't leave the ending as it was written; I'd initially just intended to have the conclusion the myth gives him, slain by Theseus, but...if I'm going to say, "I'm the minotaur, monstrous and alone and told by the world that that is right and deserving," then I am also saying "you, who feels deeply for this, for whom this resonates, you are also the minotaur and we are monsters who deserve the ending that is written for us." And I...just can't bear to. There has to be hope.

So there is, very literally, light at the end of the labyrinth, one way or another.

Anyways, I used this song for that photoset on the clock app, but I think you would also enjoy it. Cow Boy, take us away.

Yeah! It's a set, actually.

Malice can take herself outside now but she still wants to shoulder just to get a lift to the tall catio shelf. Easier than doing a big jump, I guess.

I'm trying to settle on a name for this. I'm not promising to go with the popular choice but maybe it'll help me decide. Or let me know if you think it should be named something else
