The duality of "If you even imply that being aro or ace condemns someone to a sad and lonely life I will fucking fight you"

and

"being aro and ace is the most isolating thing I will ever experience"

Nomads

Let's take it from the top.

Nomads is the story of a Martian, a Venusian and a shiny sphere from the sky.

It also has six legged, carnivorous guinea pigs, gangster era cars, Las Vegas and bionic eyes you can watch downloads and streams on - if you keep up your subscription fee. Our hero(ish) is Mads.

He's broke; a race car driver and frankly, he's not having a very good day.

All that is about to change - well, actually its probably going to stay the same but in a different flavor.

I am in love. This is the most pulpy, 70s sci-fi story I have run into in ages and it is delicious so far. It reminds me of reading my dad's old The Martian Chronicles and the Asimov sci-fi magazines you could get in the mail back when I was a kid. There's a grit and lived-in feeling to the story so far with a lead character that's been at the bottom so long he's gotten casual about it.

Seriously, this is everything I love about sloppy sci-fi at this point. And the art is hitting it out of the ballpark for that era/vibe as well. We're down in the trenches reading Mad Magazine and Han Solo is still at that point in his career with Star Wars that he shot first. I'd forgotten how good these stories feel to read now that everything's become so polished and epic. I don't know where this story is going but I am very, very happy to go along.

rating: PG (so far)

warnings: death, hungry hamsters, gangster tropes, eye horror

finished: we're just getting started, baby!

abs?: only on the Martian guinea pigs currently

I was thinking through what else I’m looking forward to this holiday season and I realized I haven’t mentioned it on here, just on discord, but— MY MOMS BEEN MAKING ME A REALLY COOL ART THING??

I think I’ve talked about it before, but my mom has been a quilter for most of my life and in the last few years started doing these really cool fabric collages, and it was my turn to request one so I asked for a phoenix cause I’m obsessed with this one art piece I did in art therapy ages ago

Anyway, my mom has been working on it and THIS was the last update I got???

I’m so excited for it?? Can’t wait to see where it’s at by the time I get there this weekend

I love when fanfic authors are freakishly unhinged. "Yes, hello, I am here to write a heart wrenching story about relationships and mortality. My medium is Ducktales (2017)"

asked my students if they wanted to share stories about what they did over spring break and this kid goes "you know the field behind costco?" and we all nod and he says "I got lost in the field behind costco."

The true reason why the Joker killed Jason wasn't because he wanted to hurt Batman or anything, it was because One Time, after Joker was caught and was being dragged away, Jason made Bruce laugh So Hard that he had to use Jim Gorgon as someone to lean on, that people Genuinely Thought that he had been dosed with Joker Venom until he calmed down

But nope, just a really good joke

And from that day on, The Joker hated the second Robin with a passion

the batfam clocked that something might up regarding Jason’s death because when Damian came to Gotham he spoke like a victorian school boy 98% of the time UNLESS he was in a passionate debate/argument with somebody, at which point he would for some baffling reason unknowingly slip into a thick Crime Alley accent complete with slang terms and insults/sayings that the family have only ever heard spewed from Jason’s mouth. it blindsides them every fucking time and Damian doesn’t even realise he does it, just subconsciously picking up traits from his big brother back at nanda parbat without noticing.
