knowing what I know about goats (very little), what the fuck would a goatforsaken cliff look like

ancient greek word of the day: αἰγίλιψ, “devoid of goats; hence, incredibly steep, to the point that not even goats can climb it”

[marlynnofmany]

“Knock yourself out looking for things we’ve missed,” said the archaeologist, waving her hand toward the desk covered in papers and a large topographical map.  “The mountainous area is huge, and we’ve pursued every aspect of ‘godforsaken’ that the ancients might have used.  The mountain with least plantlife, the one shaped most like their afterlife monster, several ones along the edges and far away from their holy city.  Nothing in the surviving texts tell us which they meant.”

The linguistics expert was only partly listening.  He ran a finger along the runes in a photograph, translating in his head.  “Oh!  I found the problem.”

“What!” exclaimed the archaeologist, looking like she wanted to hit him.

He didn’t notice.  “You got one letter wrong.  This one right here translates as two letters — well, depending on pronunciation.  They might have treated vowels differently than we do.  Anyways, it says ‘goatforsaken.’”

“What.”  The archaeologist lowered her hands.

“Based on the way they describe poor fishing grounds, they probably mean one that goats simply can’t climb.  Which one’s the steepest?”

Both of them spotted it at the same time: the spot on the map that was a different color than the rest.  The tiny mountain spire with several names.

“The Stone Tree,” said the archaeologist.

“Dick Mountain,” said the linguist at the same time, earning himself a glare.  

“I’ll rent the climbing gear,” the archaeologist said.  “Gather your books and some hiking boots.  I hope you’re up for scaling something goats won’t touch.”  She turned on her heel and left the room.

The linguist whispered “Goatforsaken,” then followed.

I cannot find one singular post on this goatforsaken hellsite for the Stitchpunk aesthetic that’s not about that fuckin “9” film!!! Am so hacked off!!! WTF?

[awed-frog]

v. confused by how half the posts on this goatforsaken website are things like ‘forget about [narrative layers], give me a story where [zero conflict happens]’ but meanwhile the other half of tumblr are gifsets of TV’s most dramatic moments so uhm?

[ID: A three-panel comic. In the first panel, a man points at a squiggle painting and says “ha ha what does this represent?” In the second, several of the painting's squiggles have rearranged into an angry face and it's grown an arm and nose to point back at the man, saying “what do you represent?” as the man's hat flies off, his necktie shrivels, and he stares in wide-eyed shock. In the third, the man lies on the floor with X'd-out eyes and the caption reads, “an abstract painting will react to you if you react to it. You get from it what you bring to it. It will meet you halfway but no further. It is alive if you are. It represents something and so do you. YOU, SIR, ARE A SPACE, TOO.” /end ID]

(All this said and 100% correct, as an artist from an artistic family, I just want to quickly mention that some artists make nonrepresentational art purely because nobody's buying the art that they're actually proud of and they need money to… y'know… stay alive. People buy nonrepresentational art much more often than they buy representational art that you slaved over for hours/days/weeks/months/years and/or made because it brought you joy; heck, nonrepresentational art wins contests much more often— not only have I personally had to watch judges give prizes only/mostly to nonrepresentational art but my college Drawing 1 teacher even told us about how one of his previous students had a habit of just smearing leftover paint on mini canvases so that it wouldn't be wasted and decided to give one a pretentious name and enter it in an art show as a joke one time, and it won over the painting that he'd entered because he was genuinely proud of it. Do y'all have any idea how much that stings? The nonrepresentational art you make fun of may have come from or even straight-up created a place of pain and frustration in the artist's soul and y'all should respect that, as well. Want more representational art? Then reward it, for the love of all things good and pure in this goatforsaken universe.)

frankly I think a lot more people would be open to postmodern art if we all stopped pretending you had to be very smart to understand it and start acknowledging that the starting point for deriving meaning from it is frequently ‘this is stupid bullshit’

spacestationtrustfund replied to your photo “do you ever see something that makes you regret like, the existence of...”

I thought my cat was snuggled up by my feet but when I looked I realised it was actually the weight of my goatforsaken mountain of blankets

*I get to my feet, he is still cradled in my arms, and I go to the kitchen.*

Hmmm.... rye bread, roast venison, avocado, a goatforsaken amount of nectarines, feta cheese, pita bread... would you like a pita bread sandwich? With feta, venison or goat, and avocado?

*A man wanders down past stones and waves, his footprints in the sand fading with each lap of the rising pulsing ocean behind him. His hair blows in the wind. His figure is tall and slender, yet not in a way that might seem threatening.*

*He is clad not in armor, but in a soft robe, grey as the stones he treads. His very presence exudes peace.*

START

Tentacle Difficulties, the first chapter, is now complete! A little break will follow this so I can get everything in order for the next chapter so that there won’t be a goatforsaken break in between updates. In the meantime, I’m going to attempt to have other Mettaton-related content throughout the week to fill in the gap.

I hope you stick around!~

I don’t even know what this is, I just stumbled across it on my dash, but when I read through it (also this looks very interesting, I will investigate later) I at first read godforsaken, as goatforsaken, so thanks to that one tumblr post I saw for corrupting my brain

Okay so some of you may remember from my last rant how Cathularen owed us a few of her sacrifices right? So that. Backfired.

So good news first, they aren't animals. We already have so many mascots that any more and we would have to convert into a spa&petting-zoo, with mostly goats for some godforsaken reason.

Okay I got off-track- now, about the sacrifices, or the new employees. After the mandatory therapy (horrors beyond comprehension getting sacrificed to an Old One yadda yadda, trust me it's not that big of a deal. Kudos for management for making it free, though), one had to be sent back to school under our custody - they're like, twelve - while this nice older lady got right to work like nothing happened. Makes puns, gives massages, doesn't take shit from the clients, we love her. Somehow stole her cat back from the mortal world. His name is Satie which I think might be short for Satan and he's the most darling creature alive (I have to stay away from him because fucking allergies but he is Baby).

But. There's the third fucking guy. I think he's around college student age - anyways he just? Follows me around? It was fine at first because he was supposed to learn the craft and all that, but it's been a week and he just. Stands there. And look, he's this listless lanky thing that looks about 0.4 seconds away from an emotional breakdown. The dude jumps when the doorbell rings. Sending him away feel way too much like kicking a puppy for my personal comfort. So uhh. I'll just. Try to motivate him or something ig. Or talk to management. Or HR (although I hope to the Void it doesn't get to HR. They are legit not okay).
