CELLS AT WERK!

GO MY GERM 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠

I had the idea to do a cell model cosplay beamed into my forebrain like visions from an angry god a few weeks ago and started working on this immediately. and good lord this was the most fun ive had on a project in a long time. like seriously it was so fun getting creative with these materials and thinking about fun ways to do all the organelles. while working on this i probably went "hehehehohohe" at least once an hour.

I think i'm going to name this guy Prota Z. Bacilli. If you look closely I do have every basic organelle that you'd expect from a cell model. (and thats a flu shot lol.)

also please appreciate this costume iteration because. i had to get my mail in this and freaked out my mailman.

America's always been anti-black, but it's a unique and fascinating horror to have personally lived through the exact moment where some people said "we would rather destroy this country at the cost of all within it, than allow a black man to achieve parity with white men by ascending to its highest post ever again". It's like witnessing the cell division where metastasis begins.

The tragedy of my life is that I keep acquiring and displaying fetish art and having to be corrected by my friends.

Most recently, a friend came over my house and saw my computer background and went, "Wow, um, I didn't know you were into that." To which I look at the picture of the well drawn muscular female minotaur in historically accurate Greek clothing and I start geeking out about how I love the detail the artist did with the clothing and I point out the period appropriate folds and pins, how the artist even inserted the native plant that was used to dye the clothing this particular shade in the background, and even how the belt has technology AND historically accurate weaving patterns on it.

Then I start explaining how I love the muscular choices of the minotaur, that I was so impressed with the artist's anatomically correct depiction of the muscles converging into the neck. That many people get an upright cow's neck wrong because cow's don't have collarbones, so it can be very difficult to merge the upper arms and a chest of a human with a cow's body. I draw her attention to the beautiful way they've merged the pectoralis major so smoothly while also staying true to how muscular they've depicted the rest of the body.

I finish up with my thoughts on the artist's bold choice to depict the minotaur as a female, and despite the underlying themes of a minotaur being violence, child murder, strength, and muscles. I segue into how unlike bulls, cow are perceived as mothers. That they are the major source of milk in human culture, and that idyllic depictions of them in a field usually depict calves frolicking nearby, yet the minotaur kills and eats children.

I finish and there is a long pause.

"Urban, this is fetish art." and she takes me to the artist's twitter and god dammit it's fetish art, not a bold statement on cultural perceptions of women and violence throughout history. I have been tricked again.

I love how this song combines the idea of a "patter song" from musical theater, particularly the character of Harold Hill from "The Music Man", a notorious con man posing as a traveling salesman, and cranks it up to 11 so it's practically an assault on your senses. But if you actually pay attention to the lyrics, there's a HELL of a lot of incredible wordplay going on.

"Legally grey but sweet with the phrasing Feet in the grave but gleefully trading!" God, if that doesn't describe the mood of enduring late stage capitalism.

This song/video is stll the most accurate depiction of how being on a Windows pc/not-firefox browser these days

The cherry on top is that if you listen close in the middle of the raving about how he looks like a 1000 piece puzzle in a retirement home, you can hear the actual peeping of a cardinal in the distance.
