"I want to make myself a simple OC I can quickly draw!" I said to myself and 1,5h later ended up with exact opposite.

And then I liked it enough to make additional color versions:

Anyway, I know nothing about it except that I'm calling it Oil Spill until it gets a proper name. I might do the color change an actual thing for it and create some lore around it (depends on what it consumes maybe? Idk yet).

For Years my brother has been fucking with me by periodically texting me to say Jimmy Carter had finally died. Today the bit has paid off.

The response to my reaction at work was “what do you MEAN ‘for real this time’?????”

I fucking hate it here I’m crying

I got into (other people's - haven't had much time myself due to a writing project but I've got a few ideas for potential projects going forth jotted down) world building projects around a year ago and they're so neat.

Especially speculative evolution stuff. Biblaridion's Alien Biospheres series on youtube is so good for getting into this sort of stuff, and might have led me along a path that led me to pick up After Man. I'm also really enjoying watching Artifexian's World Builder's log - which is currently working on figuring out the world's climate (his latest video ended with working out where blizzards, sandstorms and duststorms would occur on this world) - which has a tutorial-esque vibe and does some really relaxing timelapses for more prolonged mapping processes. (Other approaches to world building are available. I don't think you have to be as... Rigorous... As both these creators are for it to be valid)

No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story

In 2017, American film researchers recovered “Something Good – Negro Kiss,” a short film depicting a playful kiss between a Black couple which had not seen the light of day for more than a century. A long-forgotten artifact from the earliest years of American film, the sweet, humanizing vignette, produced by the Selig Polyscope Company, makes a startling contrast to the overwhelmingly racist and blackface-ridden contempory portrayals of African Americans. Four years later in 2021, archivists in Norway, halfway across the world, identified a sister short in their collections—an extended alternate cut which reveals more of Chicago stage performers Gertie Brown and Saint Suttle’s vaudeville-like routine, a theatrical, hot-and-cold romantic dynamic between two lovers which parodies the popular and controversial short “The Kiss” (1896). Both films, which had previously been lost, were known from entries in old motion picture catalogs but had been assumed to be era-typical, anti-Black “race films” until their rediscovery in the 21st century. Together with its more famous sibling, which has since been inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, this alternate version of “Something Good” represents the first-known instance of Black intimacy ever captured on-screen.

His greed sickens me.

I trusted you. Again. There's no one to blame but myself.

The whispers that I used to fear

I now welcome

I feel them deep within my bones

Vibrating under my skin

They call out to me

They want something

What it is I know not

But I shall know soon

Books talk

Books sing

Books whisper

Books scream

And all I can do is listen.

I like to think Tenna is a bit scared of thunderstorms. Just a smidgen.

You're in bed with Simon, who's on leave after some long, exhausting mission. It's your day off, and you've finally gotten home after running errands. You barely get the groceries into the fridge before Simon's dragging you to the bedroom, insisting it's time for a nap.

Both of you are asleep in record time, snuggled up together.

It's sometime later, that you're somewhere between awake and asleep, aware that there's no longer sunlight streaming in through the bedroom window. You're ready to drift off back to sleep, and then something hard hits you in the mouth.

You've just barely registered that Simon elbowed you in the face, when he's pulling you closer, his hands cupping your cheeks.

"I'm sorry. 'm sorry. 'm sorry," he rushes out.

"You hit me," you whine in response.

"I know, love. 'm so sorry."

He wraps his arms around you, pulling you into his chest, your head tucked underneath his. It's not like you were really upset to begin with, but it's hard to even pretend to be, with the way he's holding you. And you happily let yourself drift back to sleep.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train
