Happy Friday Tuesday the 13th!

So, fun fact, the original Zorlok prologue came out three years ago today. I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who's stuck around, discovered, and supported this project. It really means the world to me. Y'all are awesome and I'm so excited for what's to (finally) come.

Hope you have a lovely day,

Albie

If we all work together we can make a Venom story where the symbiote makes Eddie transgender

For my birthday... read my webcomic! It's literally free! (Unless you want books. Those are not free)

It's beautiful, it's gentle, it's funny, they're canonically t4t and gay... And it's about time traveling vampires solving supernatural mysteries!

I've spent thousands of hours writing and drawing it, and it's really good! I'm not biased!

It's on hiatus right now and coming back in 2 months, so it's the perfect time to get caught up

I've sort of developed a strange relationship with the concept of "realism" in the things I make.

Something I was very into as like, an eleven year old (im not implying this was immature to be into, just that it was formative for me), was speculative biology specifically for dragons, and now, specifically in the case of dragons I find a lot of attempts to make them biologically plausible fully missing the appeal of dragons at all.

Thinking specifically about the supernatural elements of JoM and where the line is drawn. The dagnyds are made from the remains of godlike entities, and are not entirely earthly animals. They have a supernatural origin. It would be fully justified in giving them magic abilities or making magic an aspect of the setting, but have absolutely zero interest in doing so. It doesn't interest me. I think about shit like healing powers or glowy energy attacks and my reaction is just "what does this even add? Why do I need this? Does this make things more interesting?" And it simply doesn't. Healing is more interesting as a prolonged process, combat is more interesting with teeth and claws and metal and blood. These are options which are more realistic, closer to real life, but the realism isn't what makes them interesting: it's physicality.

When I design a creature for this world, I am not thinking about making it biologically plausible, and yet, I try to design things which look like they could 'move under their own power'. There is a sense of heft and mechanical "soundness" which I value more than realism, but often also aligns with looking 'realistic'.

I would say that it's better to serve a narrative than strive for absolute realism, but I don't actually write stories, although I do have ideas for them occasionally. I guess a version of this which is more relevant and applicable is that i prefer to strive for a particular vibe.

A crazy thing about Mouthwashing is that Pony Express lost communication with one of its freighters for months and didn’t send anyone to check.

A genuinely reputable company, or at the very least a decent one, would have sent someone, something out to check after about two weeks of silence. Two months is when the crew start questioning if they are even being looked for which implies they were already expecting it to take a while cause P.E just doesn’t care.

They don’t care about who they hire. They don’t care about the conditions they place their crew in or how safe the safety measures actually are. They just don’t care, made rules and regulations so they can care less and succeed in getting away with it with how little those ideas are discussed.

I wonder how much of the world economy is distorted by the fact that the US dollar dominates it and so the US could (if it doesn't already) inflate it's own economy at will.

Maybe Apple isn't worth billions of dollars. I don't know, I never used an iPhone.

and to be clear being able to produce good academic writing is not the end all be all of anything lmfao i just have a specific relationship to my writing and being able to take pride in it does mean something important to me <3

Hi, would it be ok with you to make little plushes of Machete and Vasco (just for myself)? I crochet, and I love them so much, I'd love to have little stuffies of them to take on adventures, smush their lil faces together, or tuck into bed, but I don't want to do so without your permission first. I know you're cool with fanart mostly, but I can see how bringing them into the physical realm could be different!

Sure, I can see how that might be fun! Send me a picture or two if you end up making them, I'd love to see.

I will make one speculative comment: I don't think X is broke. I think that scene with the coin is a commentary or parallel between social monetary control and the trust system.
