And I Know It's True, That Visions Are Seldom What They Seem

On a hot air balloon, September 21st 1783

Sheep: Dear heavens, there is fire. What is happening. Rooster: Hey, hey, hey, watch this. Duck: Why are we here Sheep: WHY ARE WE FLOATING?!!! Why am I here?!!! *The sheep was chosen because it was believed to be a reasonable approximation of a human's physiology and psychology*

I imagine the rooster and duck were chosen because, presumably, birds would remain calm when flying in a hot air balloon.

Someone show me a rooster that has ever been calm.

another thing to be wary of are the chameleons of change - the ‘Many Hobbyists’ (often with ADHD) who can be found in all of the above locations - a true cosmopolitan species.

while generally friendly and receptive to guidance from native species they can easily become hostile. This is a survival strategy; they are fully aware that they are encroaching on ecological niches - and that the native fauna is far more suitable to survive in such habitats than they are. Rather than risk being chased out of the store (an unlikely scenario but an engrained survival instinct - residual from the past where these specimen were often alone in large areas and had no pack to rely on) they will instead lash out first and insist they know everything.

With their clever use of the internet and community spaces they are capable of slowing gathering a pack and are perfectly capable of integrating themselves into other ecosystems. Craft Ladies are the preferred target of a symbiotic relationship. The Many Hobbyists can venture further with greater ease, and bring back new techniques and materials. In exchange, the Craft Ladies offer guidance, expertise and protection.

Craft Ladies are uniquely suited to such a task as their overall social and calm nature makes them ideal to soothe a frightened Many Hobbyists, afraid of being seen as the weakest member of the pack.

in larger Craft Lady gathering, many packs will often introduce their resident Many Hobbyist to each other - a rare and delightful experience that would be difficult to naturally occur due to the scarcity and isolation of Many Hobbyists in physical spaces.

in the production of hamlet I was in there was about a week of rehearsal where we workshopped the idea of me (hamlet) playing a fife whilst strangling a guy around this part.

it didn’t make the Final Cut.

Just finished hamlet & had to share THIS

A brief history of roses

Dogrose: Wow I sure love having softly coloured petals and an easily accessible center for pollination. Horticulturalists: I am going to ruin your whole career and needlessly complicate your entire existence and future

I think one reason Goncharov worked so well is that on tumblr you’re regularly being subjected to fandoms you’re not in and media you’ve never seen. I assumed my mutuals all just got really into some movie that I had no interest in and scrolled right past for a solid week before realizing it wasn’t real.

Eronoctosis!

Game Review:

Yet to finish as most of my friends can’t stand horror games but I got one to play for a bit with me!

I am not good at video games, like really bad. I have multiple issues that affect my coordination and hand movements but this game was accessible enough. It really only uses the mouse and WASD, plus it’s possible to pause in a safe starting place.

Mechanically, I adore the camera and flashlight. One player can use a flashlight to shine on and scare away monsters. The other, can banish them by taking photos (as long as the light shines for long enough on the monster!)

Visually, I love the twisting, pixelated, almost 2D till you get close enough map design.

Conceptually, I adore the trying to build this body objective (literally putting flesh on a skeleton) combined with the visceral, literally just body parts, monsters. It’s rated 18+, for, warning, pixelated genitalia. If that is something that isn’t a dealbreaker for you then, honestly, this game does a great job at derealising the biological.

Pros:

Free!

Co-op

Basic WASD and mouse controls

A variety of steam achievements

Pixelated visuals for distinct style

Cons:

When you die you have to completely restart

Apparently it only takes 20-30 minutes to play through in one go

Might not have the best replay value

Overall: 4.5/5

PFFFFFFFTTT! LOOK AT THE LITTLE BATS!!!

no fr i love this engineer batman

imagine having your favorite, deadliest gun stolen and fired on you - only to find out it's now non-lethal (ruined) and shoots out little bats like FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

i love it

Not born great, don’t achieve greatness, and don’t have greatness thrust upon them - but a secret fourth thing.
