get pancaked with love idiot

Mira from K-Pop Demon Hunters lying by herself on the couch in their penthouse living room. She is wearing a black tight fitting crop top and very baggy unbuttoned black jeans. Zoey is in the back of the room in her purple pajamas squatting in shock seeing Mira there.

Zoey lies on top of Mira while she is still sleeping, Mira's eyebrows move from the sudden weight but continues sleeping. Rumi is now enters from the back of the room in her pajamas, standing there shocked.

Rumi dog piles on top of Zoey, both of them smiling on top of Mira. Mira's face is now severely disgruntled and is dreaming that the new weight on top of her is the blue derpy tiger demon crushing her.

CULT OF PHOQUE

One of the bishops has fallen, so there's been plenty of progress already. I've also seen several things that I've never seen before... like different kinds of poop and the "Disturbed by Mission" ailment...

Ignore the traumatized mosquito roaming my cult's base.

My Neighbor Demon-Tiger

A digitally painted fanart of Kpop Demon Hunters. Rumi, a Korean pop star in her early 20s, stands under a yellow umbrella in the pouring rain outside a glowing corner store. Next to her is the silly blue tiger derpy, sitting in the wet street with no umbrella. The tiny, six-eyed bird Sussie sits on top of Derpy's head with a tiny red umbrella. The colors skew toward a glowing magenta.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now"

Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic
