The mind numbing anger of chronic fatigue is getting irritable because you're so fucking tired but you really feel like you SHOULDNT BE.
You SHOULD be able to sit at a desk and do work. You SHOULD be able to just watch a freaking YouTube video. You SHOULD be able to just eat fucking lunch.
But you can't. Because your eyes are closing and it's like temporary death is taking you.

HAPPY SUMMERWEEN OF 2025!
I had long wanted to do an update of the folklore & cryptids group I'd done for Summerween in 2019, and a variation done later that year. This time, of course, expanding the cast.
Counter-clockwise from Stan, reprising his Jersey Devil costume, we also have: Soos as Bigfoot; Melody as the Flatwoods Monster; Wendy as a Western gunslinger Jackalope (don't worry, that's a water-pistol); Dipper once again as the Pterodactyl Thunderbird; Mabel as a selkie, with mer-pig Waddles; Fiddleford as the Gobblewonker; and Ford once again as Mothman.
I wish I'd gotten it shaded, but decided I'd better get it put up while it was actually still Summerween!
(A couple of other small notes: the green skin of Soos's Bigfoot is explained here; and all the related pics I've done of Bigfoot are linked from here. I did find some Loch Ness Monster costumes for sale that look very much like what Fiddleford is wearing here, with a big plushie head on top. The Flatwoods Monster has many depictions, but in the end I went with a version of the costume created by Andrew Smith, director of the Braxton County WV visitor center and founder of the Flatwoods Monster Museum; see article and pics here, with a good history of this particular cryptid!)

I can't do much but maybe this will interest someone. This cookbook is by a classically trained autistic chef, made for people with sensory issues. It's sold 1/6th of its initial run because apparently no one wants to have an autistic person interviewed on TV.
Apparently it's also very funny.
Spread this around! I bet someone here can use this.

“beauty and the beast” where beauty’s dad comes home with the rose and is like oh shit oh shit this terrible monster says i have to come live with him forever because i picked his favorite flower and beauty just goes fuck that and puts on her pants and marches down to the beast’s castle herself
and she’s expecting this horrifying dark fortress but it’s actually sort of just a normal castle with big rose bushes and furniture that’s sometimes alive
and she thinks, i can work with this
and the beast comes out and he’s like don’t look at me i am a hideous monster and beauty’s like dude you’re like a talking tiger in a cape are you kidding you’re AWESOME can i pet you can i stroke your paws can you give me a ride
and he’s like what and she goes around the castle like okay we’ll put curtains here and expand the kitchen and this could be a really cute breakfast nook
and the beast is confused because isn’t she supposed to be terrified and hate him and he had all these intimidating speeches planned and he’s like uh aren’t you going to try to run away
and beauty’s all are you kidding this is a magic castle i’m going to live here forever
so they just sort of settle in together and one day beauty goes home for the weekend to visit her family and they’re all amazed that she’s alive and her sisters go WHY DIDN’T THE HUGE MONSTER EAT YOU TO DEATH and she’s like nahhh he’s basically just a big cat he’s kind of cute actually sometimes he plays with yarn when he thinks i’m not looking
and she explains how it’s really not that bad, all the dishes wash themselves and i get all these gorgeous dresses for free because the castle doesn’t know what else to do with them and yeah there are flowers everywhere but hey that’s his hobby y’know i’m not gonna discourage that man
and then one day while beauty’s re-alphabetizing her magic library and trying to decide where to put that enchanted mirror the beast comes up and he’s like hey so this is awkward but are you like………………………………..in love with me……?????????
and beauty’s like oh uh wow haha um sorry no you’re…sort of a tiger
and the beast is like thank goodness because if you were i’d have to turn back into a human and i’ve kind of gotten used to being a big lion thing with horns and the ability to speak english for some reason like why would i want to go back to being a spindly little man and then beauty laughs and she’s like okay well can you go catch us a wild boar for dinner, dear
and they end up getting married in the end just because it’s easier to explain that way, you know, a single lady ~~living alone with a man~~ even if he’s not actually a man, and that’s fine with them because beauty was never really into the whole boys and sex thing and the beast (whose name is jeff) is honestly more interested in his flowers
and whenever any of the other ladies in the village give her any shit beauty is just like, oh, you don’t like my crepes? well you know my husband, who is literally a tiger, loves them and then everyone leaves her alone, which is really all she ever wanted
and she goes back to her magic castle and sits down with a book in front of the fire and rests her feet on her cat husband and nobody bothers her ever again
can that happen

my piece for @gf-seasons-zine is finally here for all to behold!
i'm so proud of this one :') i pushed myself to try something new with the perspective and i think i def learned a lot from it. haven't drawn anything this full of tiny details in a while too so arranging all the pieces was one challenging puzzle!
i had such a great time being part of this zine and watching everyone else's beautiful pieces come to life. big kudos to the mod team for organizing it all so flawlessly ❤️
