to err is human; to do it, the vine

(call me Gray or Sky, they/them or xe/xir/xem. nsfw text is untagged. i enjoy problematic things and am incapable of not analysing them.)

This embodies one of my guiding parameters for poetry, and by extension much creative prose to a greater or lesser degree. (Also, preview of a new 200-word RPG I'm working on for @prokopetz.bsky.social's game jam! I'll be releasing it in the next couple days.)

tested out a #pixelart app by rendering a talksprite of drake donovan
A 64-by-64-pixel head-and-shoulders depiction of a stern, distinguished middle-aged gentleman with dark hair, narrow grey-green eyes, an aquiline nose, and a slate-grey suit, circa 1920s. The effect is not quite monochrome, with deep, painterly shadows and highlights on his skin and hair. The image is set against a transparent background. A version of the previous image magnified to double the size so fine details can be seen more easily.

the biggest trick i ever played on myself was putting my most cogent sperging on these subjects into fucked-up nsfw fanfic so i can't just throw it at people without 900 disclaimers archiveofourown.org/works/24867133

oh holy shit i just figured out how to fix a structural issue in the last chapter i posted and wrote 500 words between doses of sleep-meds

i need to lie back down but in celebration, have a snippet of drake's catlike psychopathy:
When I was young, I learned that if you sit very still and very quiet for long enough, mice will come within inches of you without fear. And if you're fast enough with a knife, you can catch them before they know you're there.
