I have an over-developed idea of who is fucking who in this book, here is a hastily drawn chart of my not-humble beliefs
A hastily drawn chart of lines connecting dots and each for is labeled with the name of a character from the novel Dracula. The Jonathan dot is connected to the Mina dot, which is in turn connected to the Lucy dot. The Lucy dot in turn is connected to Quincy, Seward, and Arthur dots. The Seward dot is connected to a Van Helsing dot.

Had an idea for this and had to doodle it real quick before bed. Leopard slug with letters in their spots. The upper tentacle eyes are lowercase letter i in some typewriter font, the lower tentacles are a quotation mark.
A digital drawing of a leopard slug. The image has been drawn hastily and includes no substantial detail. The spots on the slug's trunk spell the word "type." Leopard slugs typically have splotches. The spots on the slug's mantle don't say anything, but its upper tentacles (which contain the eyes) are shaped like lower case i in a font and the lower tentacles are shaped like a quotation mark. However, these likenesses are not rendered in very serious detail and the image only barely conveys this.

I save pictures on my phone of things to draw later as practice when I get bored.
A photograph of an open sketchbook. A hand holds it. There is a mechanical lead holder, a rectangular eraser, and a few pens but the important part is a graphite drawing of a gave entrance with a scary sculpture carved into the rock around it. It depicts a cave entrance at the Goa Gajah complex in Indonesia. The carvings are old and eroded but the central tusked figure with large attentive eyes and flat teeth at the top of the cave door is intact.

How could you fuse him... He doesn't even look like a bird anymore...
A digital drawing on top of a manipulated photograph. The image depicts a kiln or tray (a modified photograph of Nora's) which has been edited to look empty except for a drawing of a piece of fused glass. The fused glass is globular and mostly nonsensical in the manner of the art form, and whatever traits it had when it went into the kiln have been smoothed out from sharp points to soft globs. Only someone who recognizes my fursona Roland the bearded vulture would be able to immediately identify it as anything other than a little pile of goo with an eye.

Me and the boys
A woodcut print in color. It is called "Yamamoto Kansuke Kills the Wild Boar" by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. It was made in 1868. It depicts Yamamoto Kansuke, who is a famous samurai and military general from Japanese history, with many armed men around him hunting an enormous wild boar. The print shows everyone in motion, with the boar whirling about in the midst of all of the men, its head tossed in the air. The men are being tossed about, their weapons deflected. Some of their equipment has come off and is flying away in the air. One man is upside down in the snow, his legs flailing in the air. Every man has intricate clothing with complex patterns, which speaks to the artist's skill and contrasts the boar's very plain grey brown colors. The boar's fur is detailed and looks coarse, like pine needles.

These plum pits represent Oy's confirmed plums devoured for the year of 2025. Does not include the plums she has eaten where we failed to recover the pits, or the plums she smuggled inside.
A photograph of a collection of plum pits. There is a bowl sitting on a chair, containing approximately one hundred plum pits. It is photographed from above.

More expressions from my incredibly normal dog Zippy
A photograph of a mutt dog. She is wearing a harness and lying on her side in the grass under the summer sun. She is panting. Because her eyes are shut due to sun and she is panting on the ground, she has an expression which would, on a human being, look like sobbing. A photograph of the head of a dog. It is directly head-on so the viewer cannot discern the precise shape of the dog's snout and it seems flattened. The dog's eyes show wariness and concern as she watches something to the photographer's side. One of the dog's ears is in floppy mode and the other ear sticks straight out to the side. A photograph of a dog. She is curled up in a dog bed that is too small for her, which is on top of a dog bed that is too large for her. She gazes alertly over her shoulder with one ear floppy and one ear up and listening. A muscle in her nose is active and her snout appears slightly twisted. A photograph of a dog sitting next to a seated person. The person is trying to use a computer mouse, but the dog has placed a paw on top of his hand as if trying to draw the hand to herself. She has a look of focus on her face.

You when I collect you out in the wild and take you home and put you in a bowl for my collection
A digital drawing. The level of effort applied is minimal. It depicts a purple king slime in a fish bowl, trapped because it is a liquid. It still has its crown. I almost forgot the word crown and wrote "little hat" instead of crown.

Yeah where would you get that idea. With apologist to Nona Limmon.
A digitally edited image. The original image is a work by photographer Nona Limmon and depicts a woman in white with a mysterious goat-like anthropomorphic form in black. It has been edited with the rough drawing of an anthropomorphic bearded vulture replacing the goat. There is a purple king slime in the corner watching, also added.

Nah I'm just gonna squish her behind the door like I always do because she sits right there
A photograph of a dog sitting between a wall and an open glass door. It gives the impression that the dog could be squished, but the dog is sitting peacefully and not actually being squished.

Oy is capable of being the cutest dog who ever lived when she wants something.
A photograph of a corgi's face looking out of a car window. The corgi wears a plaintive and slightly optimistic expression.

Oh yeah. That's the good stuff. #spoilers
A photograph of a section of text from a book. The text reads: "I don't understand!" he shouted. "What is this place, really?! We can't be alive, can we? Where are we?" Serge was unshaken by the outburst. He leaned up against the tissue of the polyp to lay it out plain. "One of two places, friend. We're either floating at the bottom of the sea inside a wrathful god of old, trapped forever to scavenge and rot and be consumed entirely, or we're in Hell. A cruel specific hell for sinners and bastards, a level all its own, disconnected to the others, meant to sustain this communal delusion of the greater flesh."

Let's fucking gooo @johnchrostek.com I got my mail!!
A photograph of a hand holding a book. The book says, "In the dark of the Atlantic a great beast stirs" and then in big text it has the author's name, "John Chrostek" and then in big text the title, "The feast of the pale leviathan." An illustration shows a human'shaped figure walking waist deep in water. It seems like an enormous figure because it seems filled with other human figures.

I went to the kitchen and my fridge was naked and it scared me because I didn't recognize it. It was a stranger to me. I had to confirm its identity by opening it.
A stilted photograph of a white refrigerator. It has some old stuff marks indicating that it is not new, but has no decorations.

"It can't look that much like porn that that many people are getting fooled" YES IT CAN
A gif of Trent Reznor from the behind the scenes video for the making of the nine inch nails music video for their song closer. It appears to have been recorded on a mid-quality camcorder and has the same visual quality as a lot of 1980s and 1990s porn. Reznor appears to be in a warehouse. He is a slender pale man wearing a leather blindfold and leather gloves that go past his elbows. His wrists are bound above his head. He smiles and moves a little and the audience gets to see his muscles.

He's literally the rock holding this family together and he'll probably be the one doing 90% of the childrearing but go off I guess
A digital drawing of a slimy worm guy with a spiky chain collar. He's the color of a cum-stained sock and has jaundiced eyes, suggesting liver failure due to his alcoholism.

I am literally so distracted by the costuming choices on the character Tokyo this that I can barely enjoy the TV show "Money Heist."
A screenshot from the television show "Money Heist." The character Tokyo, played by Ursula Corbero who is an adult woman, smiles in the general direction of the camera. She wears a black choker necklace with a silver decoration in front. Her dark hair is cut at about jaw length and with bangs cut to above her eyebrows. She has a black short-sleeved shirt with a low collar. A screenshot from the film "Leon: The Professional." The character Mathilda, played by Natalie Portman who is a child at the time, sits with her torso facing the camera while looking to the side. She wears a black choker necklace with a silver decoration in front. Her dark hair is cut at about jaw length and with bangs cut to above her eyebrows. She has a black short-sleeved shirt with a low collar.

This is how I introduced myself in a diary circa first grade. Some brains were not meant to rawdog reality.
A photograph of a lined paper with a child's drawing and handwriting. There is messy handwriting that says "Me" as a header and under that "I dont think that I deserve to live" where think has been spelled wrong and corrected. Underneath is an illustration of a stick figure standing on the earth, seemingly alone. Black space, the moon, and sun are around but there is a sense of loneliness.

A screenshot of a discord chat. User Alison says, "Do you know what Arthur and I have in common" sans question mark. Then there's a line break and they add, "hang on" and another break and they said "or wait" and then another break where they say just "no" and finally they say "do you know what the sword and I have in common?" And then a user with name and avatar replies to Alison saying "is this gonna be about that alarm clock"

Ancient fucked up deities are basically puppies to me
A digital painting. It is a portrait of a creature's shoulders and head. The creature is most similar to an amphibian such as a salamander and faces the audience. It has bulging, shining eyes with horizontal pupils. Its skin is wrinkly like a deep sea fish brought to the surface. On the top of its head and from the back of its neck sprout tendrils with glowing tips. The shape of its mouth could be interpreted as a smile.

This is the only thing I can think about when I have purchased nice meat from the store and have to massage seasoning into it
A screenshot from the looney tunes short film "Rabbit of Seville" from 1950. Bugs Bunny is dressed as a barber and Elmer Fudd, a bald man, is seated before him. Bugs is putting some fluids, presumably related to hair care, directly on to Fudd's head. Bugs has an expression on his face which is truly impossible to parse. He appears to be both serious and completely disconnected from the moment. His brows and mouth are held at unusual angles and he isn't even looking at Fudd. A screenshot from the Looney Tunes short film "Rabbit of Seville" from 1950. This is similar to the last image, except that instead of Bugs Bunny pouring liquid onto Fudd's head, he is massaging Fudd's bald scalp with his fingertips. This process is drawn in a careful way to show the viewer the way that the massage is stretching and pulling at Fudd's skin. Fudd is making an expression somewhere between pleasure and surprise but his eyes are closed.

"My" crows aren't around as much, I suspect they are rearing a baby or two somewhere so they don't have time to get mealworms as much. It's great to see them. In the past they have brought their babies to see my family. It was good to see this one today.

In the shower today there was a remarkably clear and sinister face. I stared for like five minutes
A digital painting of condensation on a glass pane. Most of it is just cloudy shapes and water droplets, but there is a set of shapes that resemble a warped, smiling human face
