So, I made a ko-fi

Hello! I made this ko-fi to be able to pay for my medications, which are sadly something I'm in dire need of for the rest of my life. I can do small arts, and translate from English to Spanish or Spanish to English If you donate, you will get a random doodle regardless! I do not feel it correct to just take donations, so I've set up commission options for you to get something in return for your kindness if you decide to give some money!

Random dude at the club notices the pattern that Gerry's eye tattoos follow (being always on joints) but then notices one on the middle of his lower abdomen, peeking out from the hem of his jeans.

Dude: what's the joint for that one?

Gerry: my dick.

Michael (who's totally not there, but it's actually there indeed sneakily behind Gerry, wiggling a huge and sharp monster finger out from between Gerry's legs like it's Gerry's dick: >:3c

I have a take and I need to know if anyone else has it.

Prince Charles and the Beatles have canonically been taken by the Stranger and likely perished during the attempt its ritual.

In MAG118: The Masquerade, Tim acknowledges them as being part of the museum, commenting on how they all look like they've been in accidents.

However, we later find that the waxworks are actually real, living, petrified people who have been likely deformed through wax (the part where Jon and Basira fight about saving the people trapped as waxworks). Thus, implying that Prince Charles and the Beatles were also there, petrified and alive, by the time of the ritual.

THUS, implying that the Archival team blew up not only a bunch of random innocent people taken by the Stranger, but also Prince Charles and thE FUCKING BEATLES.

I spiraled about this on call with my friend who is on his first listen and I probably sounded insane because he got very concerned.

(I know I could be wrong, but let me be insane)

You have no idea how funny it is to me that TMA fans saw the Barbie and Ken mugshots as a drawing prompt and like, 90% of the fanart I've seen are of people who saw Ken and went "ah! You mean Michael (Distortion)!"

HELLO??? WHO DID THIS???

(UPDATE: It is no longer there. I do not know the reason)

I have so many questions.

[Image description: A cropped screenshot of Eric Delano's wiki page. The text is scribbled over to call attention to an isolated line right before the Episode Appearances tab. The line is on its own paragraph and has no other information. It just reads "Eric is queerblind." End description]

I genuinely have so many questions. I've looked up the term and nothing comes up using the term itself. I looked up if the term meant something on a larger scale and all I got are research papers on the experiences of blind people on the queer spectrum, nothing that actually uses "queerblind" as an identity or "formal" classifier.

Please share your sources with the class. You're literally the only person using this word. And you're using it to talk about Eric Delano. Your mind???

Update: no relevant comments on the page itself exist either, so I don't know if anyone called it out before me.

Nobody move.

This is how my brain pictures Gerry carrying Michael home.

For context: I think that sometimes keeping a human-looking shape is very exhausting for Michael so it just lets go and becomes a whatever shapeless long thing. Obviously, this also implies the doors and hallways are... Difficult to access. Clearly when you're a limp neverending ribbon-y blanket, it's not easy to turn doorknobs or walk into hallways.

So in comes the beloved, Gerry, who grabs it and drags it home to get some rest.

However, how does one carry a limp neverending ribbon-y blanket? With determination, which is something Gerry has plenty of, luckily. Even when it might look very silly.

Not sure if this could be controversial, but I need to just say it, because I'm tired of seeing the opposite.

The distortion has zero ass. It sits down and it's completely flat. You try slapping that and it's like slapping a table. No ass. None.

And also no hip-waist. Poor thing cannot wear decorative belts bc no matter how much it tries to keep them on, they just fall to its ankles like a hula-hoop. Probably has to wear safety pins from its trousers/skirts to its shirt bc otherwise they just fall too. Nothing to hold the waistband onto.

A real tragedy.

(for all intents and purposes, this is a joke because I think I'm funny and Michael trying to wear its funky disco belts but failing is so funny too)

So, I wrote this a while back when the attacks on Ukraine started

If I say dolphins are like marbles, it's because in the vastness of space, the water on their skin is as round as the plaything in children's pockets, and so is life, vast and impossible in our current conflicts, like the root we call a carrot or a beet, brightly-coloured and nourishing even when we pull ourselves out of the earth and gnaw on our young in wars like we're cooking a dinner with friends. Who are we to question the dogs of the army, when water flows just like the blood we spill and they run swift like dolphins, who jump and spin creating marbles of sky in the center of their coil, our little frame of space in a universe where love for the fellow human can never reach a border. And that is tragic. And that is beautiful. And empty. For we all die.

I was angry but was also trying to stay strong and not let myself falter into a state of "I can't do shit so let's all give up". So I turned to one of my loves. Water, the ocean.

I was using this to exemplify a style of writing to a friend, and my explanation turned into another one. Now filled with the chest tightness of seeing both the ongoing attacks at Ukraine and the Palestinian genocide.

I can't do much in my current situation except keep talking about them. So I'm gonna share this too.

Often, when you're feeling strongly about something, you can focus it a bit better. For the poem I was thinking about the wars going on, and the loss of childhood innocence through violence because of it, and how it's become commodified, turned into a spectacle people want to go watch movies about. It's something happening in one place, and we're all aware of it, but at the same time, people not in that place are just, having an evening with friends. And that doesn't mean it's not seen as wrong, but that it's become background noise with how much input about it we get and how little we can do individually from our homes without major power.

All that mixed with my love for the sea. Dolphins are capable of committing horrible things to each other and yet we always see them as these pure and fun animals, free of all.

Marbles are round, like the earth, spheres are associated to protective figures, to something easy to embrace because it doesn't have edges or points, it can also be seen as containing something, encapsulating it. Round and perfect and beautiful to look at.

Dolphins making circles in their jumps look like ouroboros, ouroboros represent constant cycles.

Cycles that we repeat.

Society repeats cycles if violence.

And we come back to war now.

Because every few years we get a new war, it's a circle, and every time the head neets the tail, it explodes and kills and you're in a wild sea that throws you side to side and it's violent.

But there comes a calmness every now and then, and you can just float. And it looks beautiful.

And the animals, the fish, come back when the sea is calm. And it's comforting, and I feel like embracing it even when I can't because I can't embrace water, it spills over.

But then you get back to the state we're in, because blood also spills over, when bullets and bombs break the bodies open. And you try to hold that sign of life that is supoosed to be contained, like in the sphere I mentioned, but it keeps coming out and it's a child's life and you panic because they're pulling the children out of their homes and they have no food, no comfort, nothing.

But you have food, and you're eating it, but sending it to them from here would take so long and the food rots and it's a cycle because you use the rot to plant new things but the food is not for then anymore it's for new food and it's a circle and it's beautiful and it's violent and we can see our siblings in it and yet we're total strangers.

I know this doesn't do much. But keep talking about Palestine. Keep talking about them. Be loud. BE SO LOUD.

And don't forget Ukraine.

Be loud about them all. Be outraged.

Free Palestine.

Free Ukraine.

"Oh You Pretty Things!

Don't you know you're driving your

Mamas and Papas insane!

Let me make it plain:

You gotta make way for the Homo Superior"

I've always related this song to a Spiral/Stranger joint apocalypse. Both win, humanity transcends beyond humanity and their mere inhuman existence is so horrifying yet liberating that it feeds both powers without a need to destroy.

Whenever the chorus comes I always imagine the Distortion letting go in sheer ecstacy, colours blooming around it like an animated psychodelic sequence, and it expanding its form like the spring sprite from Fantasia 2000. It's very very specific, and I certainly don't have the ability to put it into paper or anything, but this was close enough to let me get some of that out.

Thought about making it a DTIYS but I don't have that much of a following as to get it anywhere. I guess if anyone wants to, you can do it

Freshly out of Sannikov 💖💅

Started making little loops and shapes on a very tiny sketchbook with highlighters and then wanted to clean it up later on bigger paper.

"Process" under read more, plus a last one with a different filter for the colours

Fun fact, the paper I used to prevent staining on other sketchbook pages for the initial sketch is a lottery ticket and it says "bye, boss" on the back and it's a pretty funny accident for Michael just after Sannikov)

Sometimes your own unfinished paintings work as framing.

Sometimes embraces are languid and still and faint, even though desperation claws through them

Autism stereotypes are always so into portraying autistics as able to make hours-long dissertations on their hyperfixations.

Meanwhile, I'll see a dinosaur drawing somebody made on Tumblr dot com and immediately start crying and sobbing because I got so excited.

Felt like adding the alternative test version of this because it kind of gives off "death by hypothermia in Sannikov".

I was seeing how blue shading would look since these were new watercolors and I wasn't sure how they'd mix. This was done in printer paper though and has no other mediums except for the watercolours, compared to the "official" version which used markers, gel pens and lining pens.

Notes on this blog's content:

I am an adult, this is my personal blog, it will feature NSFW content, either reblogged or posted (mostly art/fic) every now and then. Be warned and don't be weird. Kids/teens/anyone under 18, don't interact with any of my nsfw posting. You may interact with my posts and even talk to me and all. Just do not interact with my nsfw posts. I am not your parent and you're not in school or at a kid's event. I am not responsible for any kids here so I probably won't check if you're a minor or not whenever you interact with my posts because that's not my job and I have a life, but I also don't want any awkward situations, so please, respect the boundary. I do care about child-safety, but I also cannot be obssessively checking every single time and kid-ifying my personal space for others who can perfectly choose to just not look in here or avoid mature posts (I tag any explicit ones).

Given the new act of people feeding fanfiction to AI systems such as Chat-GPT, I have privated my Ao3 account. I am deeply upset by this but I genuinely don't want to risk my hobby to be chewed up and spat out for corporate. Any reproduction of my work is therefore strictly prohibited, especially in regards to AI generators. This also goes to usage of my art in general, if you want to use my art in any form for personal use, do ask me first.
