fyi if anyone else's game is stuffed full of mods like mine is

[elbiotipo]

Speaking of which, Steam is also the kind of always-online DRM spyware that people would have destroyed companies about a decade ago. Such a dick move to force you to install it to play Half-Life 2. Good thing everyone realized it and Valve never went ahead with it. Oh wait, that didn't happen. Everyone accepted it as a standard, gave Steam a monopoly on publishing, patches and mods which should be completely offline, gave it access to your bank account and hard drive(!!!!) and everyone uses it and now it seems I'm the only insane man lost at the high seas wondering what happened

hi hi [waves hand] i am very interested in your reverse iterators au!! what’s it about :0

Hallo!! [waves back!!!] thanks for the ask :D And well as one might expect its a reverse iterator au! meaning instead of pebbles accidentaly killing moon, its moon accidentaly killing pebbles! - please note its not a personality swap or anything- im gonna expand on how it ended up like that in (this) post, because if i dont i this will be way to long :D

And well its mostly a silly au because my iterators are silly, with moon being up and running (with a mild mold problem) and pebbles being left suspended high in the sky after part of his structure collapsed - which isnt at all a result of my deep desire for a vulture free high altitude pipe parkour region while also having a collapsed metropolis ontop of pebbles creating a giant region of death pits!! -

Im gonna talk more about the map here!!

or if im honest its just an excuse to have silly iterator interactions, seeing as pebbles wouldnt have activated the no chit chat block its a free for all for the iterators to have opinions and gossip, so its mostly an au where moon chats with NSH while pebbles sends her malicious malware to kill her quicker - also this is totally based on my own stupid iterator interpetation, which is pretty different than normal fanon, so uh, keep in mind - anyhow its basicly this \/\/\/ for 43 trillion cycles

Also as you might suspect this would have an effect on the over all story and plot, but im not getting to into that unless someone asks!!

also pebbles is spending his time on top of the world looking at clouds, being cronicly online and sending moon viruses and hate mail, moon is in the meantime studying scav populations and their blossoming weapon manifacture, she sends him pictures :)))

also also you will always find one of suns overseers in pebbles broken can, because reasons ^-^

Anyhow while i have alot of random trivia for this au ima stop here for this post, have a pebbles for getting to this point!!! sorry this took so long i got more asks than i tought and panicked about it!!! also i got no clue what to say so uh, hope this was close? thanks for the ask i love getting asks its fun yup yup!!!

A small PSA: Today (i.e. 12/12/24) is your last chance to grab Warcraft I & II on GOG before they're delisted forever and the only versions of these games available will be the (apparently kinda botched) upscales from Blizzard at twice the price. They're already pretty cheap but use the code MakeWarcraftLiveForever at checkout for a few bucks off.

I am back on my bullshit, and with my bullshit I mean over analyzing small details in media

In this case the recent pages of Kill Six Billion Demons (read it! READ IT! IT'S REALLY GOOD!)

Specifically the framing and layout of the pages

so if you're familiar with Tom's work you know he's pretty much allergic to normal comic layouts and simple panels

and even when there are two panels side by side they're never the exact same size

but then we get to Wheel Smashing Lord, pages 77 and 78, where Gog Agog puts our protagonist, Allison, through the horrors of a talk show

and we got side by side panels, with the exact same size, evenly spaced, and with no art or anything between the panels

Of course this is partially done so as to simulate the framing of a TV show, so we get stuck in this TV screen format

buuuut I wouldn't be making a long ass post if this was the only cool thing this paneling was doing

Because what it does is also trap Allison in this neat little box of Gog Agog's influence

Bitch is literally controlling how Allison is framed. She's limiting Allison's range of motion and limiting how we get to see her

but then what happens?

Something that is outside Gog's control. Someone who she has no influence over

So they get to exist outside of the framing, because they're not part of her show

Then the very next page Allison decides she's sick of Gog's shit and how do we see that happen?

She breaks the frame. She gets up from the interview chair and just like that the TV format is broken, and with it Gog Agog's control and influence

Gog cannot contain Allison anymore and so neither can the frame

From this point on we're back to classic KSBD page layouts, except for one little detail

Now Allison gets to exist unbound by panel frames, while Gog Agog herself remains almost entirely trapped, because this bitch just managed to put herself into a corner

aaaaand that's all I got because that is literally the most recent page and it came out yesterday

So uh yeah this comic is really fucking good. Now go read Kill Six Billion Demons!

I actually think this post is really important. If people don't learn to look critically at the content and credibility of stuff that sounds semi-academic and if they just blindly trust it because it lists a few fancy looking sources then misinformation like this will spread.

And there doesn't necessarily need to be desire or intent to spread misinformation - I really doubt that the majority of these amateur academics on tumblr who dig into queer history are consciously trying to spread an insidious narrative, but none of us are immune to misinterpreting sources to support common preconceptions that perpetuate real harm.

We have enough issues with the rewriting and erasure of queer history - especially queer media history that isn't anglocentric.  

We have to be so, so careful. If you aren't 100% sure about what you're writing, if you haven't checked it against multiple sources or gone through it with people who you know are just as educated or more educated than you about this history, you have to be VERY very careful about what you say.

Because even if your intention isn't to hurt or harm anyone with misinformation, there are people out there who will take your words and use them that way.  

folks see me get aggro in replies and are like "dude chill, what's your problem"

my problem?

my problem is some people want "queer porn artist saw the Errors of his ways and now only creates Morally Correct Family Friendly content™" to be true so badly they'll ignore everything that doesn't fit their vision

and cloak that in academic language and throw in an academic or popular academia source (that does NOT support their claim but sounds good) or two for credibility

and it gets reblogged 300 times

I'm not saying we need a peer review procedure for tumblr, but.

I'm boiling inside my own flesh after that trailer, so please accept this old, maybe objectively too creepy Cole drawing while I find time for new DA art. I can claim that it has a Haloween vibe, at least...

The reason it's so weird, by the way, is because I drew it using the poem "Wodwo" by Ted Hughes as a prompt. My bff @klovharun gave me the whole poetry book at the height of my DAI obsession because she thought "Gog" had Solas vibes; and it occurs to me right now that this has to be one of the best examples of friendship ever. Not just "I was thinking of you", but one step further, "I was thinking of your all-consuming fixation". She also made a Solas breakup playlist for me, which I still listen to. That is love!

Poems below for anyone who might like them.

Wodwo

What am I? Nosing here, turning leaves over

Following a faint stain on the air to the river's edge

I enter water. Who am I to split

The glassy grain of water looking upward I see the bed

Of the river above me upside down very clear

What am I doing here in mid-air? Why do I find

this frog so interesting as I inspect its most secret

interior and make it my own? Do these weeds

know me and name me to each other have they

seen me before do I fit in their world? I seem

separate from the ground and not rooted but dropped

out of nothing casually I've no threads

fastening me to anything I can go anywhere

I seem to have been given the freedom

of this place what am I then? And picking

bits of bark off this rotten stump gives me

no pleasure and it's no use so why do I do it

me and doing that have coincided very queerly

But what shall I be called am I the first

have I an owner what shape am I what

shape am I am I huge if I go

to the end on this way past these trees and past these trees

till I get tired that's touching one wall of me

for the moment if I sit still how everything

stops to watch me I suppose I am the exact centre

but there's all this what is it roots

roots roots roots and here's the water

again very queer but I'll go on looking

Gog I

I woke to a shout: 'I am Alpha and Omega!'

Rocks and a few trees trembled

Deep in their own country.

I ran and an absence bounded beside me.

The dog's god is a scrap dropped from the table,

The mouse's savior is a ripe wheat grain—

Hearing the Messiah cry

My mouth widens in adoration.

How fat are the lichens!

They cushion themselves on the silence.

The air wants for nothing.

The dust, too, is replete.

What was my error? My skull has sealed it out.

My great bones are massed in me.

They beat on the earth, my song excites them.

I do not look at the rocks and stones, I am frightened of what they see.

I listen to the song jarring my mouth

Where the skull-rooted teeth are in possession.

I am massive on earth. My feetbones beat on the earth

Over the sound of motherly weeping....

Afterwards, I drink at a pool quietly,

The horizons bear the rocks and trees away into twilight.

I lie down, I become darkness—

Darkness that all night sings and circles stamping.

-Ted Hughes
