I wonder, sometimes, about the purpose of all existence, about the meaning inherent in all things. Then I remember I don't actually care.

I bet if I got a new notebook that would fix me.

ICE is feverishly looking for some top-down reason this is happening. They are trying to infiltrate, but you cannot infiltrate a city's collective character. They want to find the
"orchestrators," the "paid activists," the political professionals scheming up the city's response to their crimes. They won't find any, because there are none. It's parents worried about the safety of their daycare and schools. It's neighbors worried about the family down the street. It's anyone with a conscience-which is to say, it is everyone. And we are going to win.

The vile wizard turned me in to a creature of sorts. As grim as it might appear, I so enjoy retracting into my flesh shell. Feeling positive!

Angel Killer [completed work for @dragonfoxkid.bsky.social ]

A digital illustration of a gnarly unicorn with a skull-like face and a long pointed horn and sharp pointy ears. Its face is pale with a scar over its orange eye, its mane is black and whips around wildly behind it. Its coloration transitions into strips of teal and purple, down into a black body. Its pose is energetic, leaping forward with its head turned inwards with a void-angel in its teeth. It has a long whip like tail with orange spikes and a flail on the end. The background is intensely red, with blue swirls around the beast, framing it.

Reading is Fhtagnmental

A woman with pale skin a greenish tint and green embellishment on her eyelids and lips. She has a short orange-ginger bob haircut and all she's apparently wearing is a heavy necklace chain suspending a large rough-cut green gem in a silvery metal setting. She's holding a heavy-looking leather and metal-bound tome open in one hand at chest height and seems to be pointing out a text with the finger of the other hand. Magical green letters of an unpronounceable language are floating up from the pages of the book, connected to each other and to the necklace gem by rough edged bubbles and umbilici. Her body below where it is occluded by the book shows the progress of the spell being invoked, as she transforms into a writhing mass of warped parts of hideous sea monsters: tentacles, teeth, spikes, claws, grasping mouths, and dead blue unblinking eyes. If you read this far you must agree with me that it is cool and gross.

Session 1 went well, got to cry into a hot Toreador's thighs 10/10

#vtm #vampirethemasquerade #sketch #ocs #ocsky #ttrpg

A young woman with light long hair and bangs, wearing a bandeaux and large fishnet stockings, comforting a young woman laying on her lap. She's crying red tears as she lays curled up in her lap, and has black hair with a white streak. She's also wearing a sweater, a skirt, leggings, and black boots. "UHUUUUU" is dramatically imposed in a speech bubble.

Okay, this is super cool! I wonder if we could use some similar approach to think about the diversity of ancient cropping systems 🤔. Anyone want to collaborate?
