Watched @goldyne.bsky.social make spaghetti carbonara last night and it inspired me to make some for my own lunch.

There's nothing left there. It's a broken, barely function shell that will - if it's not already - have all operation handed over to a Predictive Text Machine.

I am very proud of the evil lair-- I mean mountain sanctuary I currently call home.
View of a mountain base in the architectural styling of Geidi Prime The main hall of the inside of the Geidi Prime style base. With a stairway leading to an alcove. A sinister looking dining room looking out onto the desert. Surrounded by bulky suspensor chairs. A sinister looking mountain base with shielded hanger entrances.

My memory is I'm 12, hearing the song for the first time and being really creeped out by its very nature.

Not the cats. Beautiful creatures. Just...

Ran though some of my old Daily Sketches folder and yeah I need to be doing more of those.

Sketch of a large power-armoured dragon grasping an arm mounted cannon, a look of fury in her face as she blasts away. A figure in a fanny trimmed coat with a wide sash, padded shoulders and stockings under slippers for shoes. They have one hand resting on their hip. An Aeldari Howling Banshee in the field, narrowly dodging weapons fire as the generous head of hair swings in the breeze.

Tiazanyth the #Kobold, and her plush animated partner sharing her name ('Mirror' for clarity's sake.) They share thoughts, senses and vision. Wonder what trouble is brewing as they hang at the tavern.

A lavender-coloured kobold with a bright pink plush toy two thirds her size embedded with red gemstones. The kobold is wearing a red cloak and green trousers. Leaning on the counter of a bar with drinks on the top. The Kobold is smiling at the viewer with big, bright yellow eyes. A lavender-colorued kobold in a red cloak and a reddish-brown padded tunic. Bound at the waist with a green sash. The kobold is also tied at the left arm and thighs with bright olive straps. She looks at the viewer with a smile via bright yellow eyes.

NGL, the latest episode of Star Trek, somehow this first scene made me feel uncomfortable in a way I haven't for Star Trek in several years.

Something about it had me almost audibly saying "oh no."
Still from the Strange New Worlds episode "What is Starfleet" featuring a disclaimer and the Starfleet great seal describing the episode's footage as declassified security recordings. "In Accordance with the United Federation of Planets "Freedom of information Act. This documentary includes security footage that has been declassified by Starfleet Command in the spirit of transparancy

Calling all artists! How do you draw elves?

Me I like em pulling delicately balanced poses, partial to long locks, flowing clothes and a touch of facial hair.
A half-elf standing proud wearing a blue coat wrapped with a large red sash. He has long dark hair that comes down to his collar, a small stubble and tanned skin. An Eldar Howling Banshee from Warhammer 40,000. Wielding a witchblade, a shuriken pistol and narrowly dodging bullet streaks as she charges. An Eldar Farseer from Warhamemr 40,000. Bearing a singing spear as they hold out their left hand to cast a spell.

That said, I like how the Green Dragon Inn combines hobbit hole with free standing building. And I will gush over how cool Scandinavian sod roof buildings are.

So I will happily vibe with freestanding hobbit houses having roofs of grass.

I've got in my head I'd like to make a template sheet for draknir and I just want to take a moment to reflect how astonishingly the designs came out on my super-sheet.

Two dragon like beings, draknir. One in a purple and cream robe with a light blue cape attached to the shoulders. The other in grey well fitted high tech armour. There is a silhouette of an anthro rabbit to show their scale A well muscled anthro dragon with a bright yellow torso and horns and rose red body. Out of their back is a set of wings that mix between organic and artificial. They have a name or hair going down their long neck.

They've got this, though!

I was listening to a summary of UN history from Halo today and I had to pause for a moment when the YouTuber described an interplanetary war between the UN, neo-communists and a German fascist counter-movement.

So I looked it up and that is disturbingly specific, Bungie!
The Frieden movement was a violent movement based on a fascist ideology that arose in the Europan city of Katreus[1] in the mid-22nd century. It formed partially in response to the rise of the communist Koslovics and perceived oppression by the United Nations. "Frieden" means "peace" in German — in this case, the Frieden believed that peace could only be achieved once the "oppressors on Terra Firma" were eliminated.[2]

It felt very liberating to imagine worlds completely detached from our own, even if I might have drawn inspiration from all over it.

it was free to evolve in its own direction, not constrained by common expectations of our past or present.
Fantasy got to be fantastical.
Two dragons in flowing gowns. The first and central is a non-binary figure with angel wings, a purple cape and light blue dress. Next to them, about 3/4 their size is another more masculine draknir in a red gown with a white dress underneath. Both outfits are embroidered with golf. An assortmant of robes from a place called the Paragvate Sublime varying from embroidered dress coats to hooded gowns of pastel colours. Half the robes are full length dresses but there's no particular markers as to whether the robes are worn by men or women. A floating island with a gigantic silver-barked tree growing from the middle of an ornate arena-like palace on the largest island. Hovering over a golden ocean. Executive Andhiria Senior Executive of Vaxitas Bio-Astra Role within the company UNKNOWN A tall, grey-furred fox like figure in a satin blue dress. A red sash emerges from her shoulder, wraps over her right bicep and flows downward along her side. A headshot view shows her bearing fang-like teeth and multiple eyes around her primary set of eyes.
