okay a PART of the D&D rant;
I feel like part of confusion about EVIL MONSTERS are D&D's fictional roots are at odds with each other; LotR, an epic in which Tolkien's Catholicism, conservatism *and* liberalism play out in a good versus evil struggle (not quite as dualistic as the first read) 1/5

uh oh, I feel a rant about D&D, Gygax and Tolkien coming on
WORSE I obviously have real mixed feelings
EVEN WORSE it overlaps with my constant grinding anger about Jewish identity and Jewish invisibility (also gets into my feelings about OWoD)
need to finish job hunt stuff ASAP to avoid this.

I forget which fantasy future earth thing I read as a teenager had the hero riding a WAR MORSE (moose), in opposition to the foul evil that lurked south of the border. I'm pretty sure the book was real tho.

it's weird, you'd figure that animation is a great fit for Tolkien and with Peter Jackson and Phillipa Boyens managing production it would be a runaway success, but "Merry and Pippin Go to the White Castle" somehow tanked in theaters

the ever popular "KHAN!" sting
the ever popular "Looks like someone bagged one of Ripley's bad guys" strings
... also? Don't get old, kids, it's a shit deal. You wind up referencing your no-longer relevant movies while coloring your no-longer relevant take on fantasy art.

the part of Krull where Prince Corwyn is trying to make his way down to the bottom of the reactor to rescue Newt, before the whole thing blows up and leaves a crater the size of Nebraska. #soundtracks
oh yeah the part of Krull where Prince Corwyn discovers the Glaive in the Genesis Cavern. But watch out, Khan's out there! If we went by the book, like Lt. Saavik, hours would seem like days!

I should probably NOT get quite this much stupid enjoyment out of 80s vintage James Horner soundtracks being fairly similar/derivative
... that said. On earth, 300 years ago, I was a prince, with power and riches. Allow me to introduce you to Ceti Alpha V's last remaining indigenous life forms!

The Wolf, the Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species, L David Mech. Cutting edge research for a while based on captive studies, so some of it’s not quite accurate, but; non humans have their own worlds, their own behaviors, and you can actually learn a bit by watching. For me this was huge.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

This is probably lack of sleep after two separate nights of anxiety problems, but my thoughts are back at “I really don’t have much to live for and have even less to live with for it,” and since I’m too chicken/hopeful/concerned to off myself this isn’t practicable or enjoyable.

oh I get it now! Since James Bond is British, clearly he was limited to regenerating 12 times, and the most recent time he died was his last regeneration unless the scriptwriters come up with a workaround

would I like to be an insurance salesman? let's see; I don't have the emotional drive and confidence to sell artwork, let alone something I have no passion for and which I see as right up there with Staphlococcus as something which harms rather than helps. So I'll give this a pass, ty.

I think I had someone just try to defraud my bank account. I tried to reach the bank or use their automated customer service and, of course, it's useless.
