Imagining the PMD Partners as frustrated pet-owners trying so hard to care for their humans is hilarious to me.

Like, Hero is great and all, but they're so dumb. Partner is at their wits end and doesn't know what to do. Turns out, they're not the first person to feel that way!

The various partners throughout the years have written journals and compared notes, resulting in: How to care for your human - The struggle of Partners everywhere.

And it's just filled with nonsense like -

Humans don't have survival instincts. You are their impulse control.

Don't let your human pat every stranger they come across!

How to trick your human into going to the vet!

Teaching humans about hygiene.

How to keep your human happy (results may differ depending on the human)

Teaching your human how to control their fire/electricity/etc.

What to do if your human won't eat.

Teaching your human about their species behaviour (e.g. sunbathing, moulting, etc.)

Make sure your human gets regular exercise.

How to create an enriching environment for your human.

So, you're human is an eldritch horror?

What to do if your human is Gen Z

Garten of Banban design dump :] These thangs have been hanging out in my drafts for several weeks, I've just been procrastinating writing out ALT texts for them. I like some of these designs wayyyy more than some of the others so if I change some of them later on don't be surprised

I just watched a near 2 hour fanmade movie animation follow up for Transformers Prime and I'm filled with all kinda of delight. Seriously. An hour and forty odd minutes. It had Bruticus. It had Galvatron. It had team ups. It had autobot Knock Out. It was just fun as hell. It's entirely fan made, and in some ways you can really tell, some aspects of it did have me a giggling and some of it had me rolling my eyes, but at the same time I could tell it was a project made with love for the show and the fandom itself. I really do recommend giving it a watch, it literally only came out about a day ago and it's already nearly at 60k views which is wild.

Here's the youtube link, it's called Transformers Prime: Galvatron's Revenge.

[tortureandtickles]

things that fluster the god damn fuck out of me 🫠

having to hear all the reasons about why someone wants to tickle you, and cute you are while being tickled

BEING!!! TICKLED!!! IN!!! PUBLIC!!!

“behave”

being tied around the ler for a session (CANNOT GET OVER THIS ONE)

gang tickling while one ler is being soft and sweet, and the other is being a complete SADIST

BEING CALLED BABYGIRL

swearing during a session!!!!

being chased around before eventually being caught and tickled

the ler pinning you down but you’re too weak to get out of it 😭😭

blindfolds, gags, noise cancelling headphones, bicep restraints

when someone reminds me how much i love the hairbrush even though i can’t handle it 😭😭

“you’re in so much fucking trouble”

being so mean to me that i have no choice but to do whatever the fuck you say 🥰🥰🥰

Okay so I've watched Dynasty, and I get that people are upset that Mox won again. But here's the thing;

Wrestling never lets lightning strike twice, Swerve winning 1 year after winning the title before at the same event already felt like there was the risk of fuckery to rain on the parade. Swerve was also mega protected in defeat and while Moxley's reign does lack in luster, the villain does have to win sometimes - it makes his defeat all the sweeter.

Swerve losing here however might just be a necessary evil. If Swerve won, the Owen would be locked for Hangman on the same night the first round began - at least now Ospreay is back to being considered as a potential winner too. And it's not to say that Swerve won't get a second chance, All In Texas is 3 months away; Spring BreakThru, Double or Nothing, AND Fyter Fest are in between that, there's still time to deal with the Bucks and use winning as stakes to get a second chance.

Are there places AEW still needs to improve? For sure, all companies have that; several talents are absent in all divisions, several talented wrestlers fall lower in the pecking order than their talent should allow, and several talent who are over are in need of something substantial even if it's feuds that'll lead into challenging for a title. But if you can endure 2 years of Bloodline main events you can endure a bit more of the Death Riders. Dynasty was still good, AEW is still good, don't let Moxley retaining make you forget that.

just a little thought about what sort of names these guys use to refer to this poor priest. well at least one of them is respectful.

just realized emizel and william (saying like mid season 2 because that’s where I’m at) meetup would go fucking insane, both because;

a: emizel is a feral little rat man who loves murder and william is an anxious teen who is. at best not fond of murder. but he does have his moments.

b: i think william could feasibly pass off as a vampire at first but it would quickly become increasingly obvious that he was Something Else. the lack of blood and ability to phase through walls would probably be a tell. i also don’t know if william would realize emizel was a vampire and not just like a superhero with weird teeth.

c (the main reason I had this thought): these are two guys who can both come back from the dead and both have Incredibly different opinions on it. william is, rightly, terrified of his own death and scared that it might become permanent. emizel keeps yippie-kay-yay-motherfucker-ing his way into the grave yelling about shamia shamae and trying to fight god. i think they could both probably help each other out. or make each other worse. honestly probably the second option, neither of those two are exactly the masters of talking about feelings

Another year, another absurd amount of books read (296, because if I wasn't reading or writing this year, my brain was on fire). I was asked again for my top books of the year, so here we go: 2023's top 10, in no particular order.

This was the first book I read of the year--literally, vacated the hangout with my wife and sibling-in-laws to sit on their couch upstairs and eat through it. Do you love The Fall of the House of Usher, but wish for a nonbinary protagonist and a lot more mushrooms? This is the book for you! (T. Kingfisher is fucking rad, I made a concerted effort to only list ONE of her books on here, but honorable mention goes to The Twisted Ones for fucking me upppp.)

A gay, post-apocolyptic Pinocchio retelling involving copious robots, found family elements, and a cool-ass treehouse. Klune always hits for me with his unrepentant queer family dynamics and sense of humor. Honorable mention to the first two in the Green Creek series (although that's got a lot more...adult elements in among the werewolves, you've been warned).

I thiiiink I found this through The Homo Schedule podcast (PSA: if you missed out on Jasmin Savoy Brown and Liv Hewson doing a podcast together, now you know better), and it wrecked my shit. Tons of trigger warnings, as this is a memoir about abuse within a queer relationship, but it's so beautifully written. I personally suggest listening to the audiobook first, then standing anxiously behind someone at a book warehouse sale, hoping they'll set down the only paperback copy so you can swipe it.

A fantastical-historical reimagining in which the KKK is filled with literal monsters, and Black women are resistance fighters armed to take them out. Visceral and intense, and truly an excellent horror story.

Just. Such a soft time travel story about a daughter and her father and cherishing the time you get with loved ones. I was thoroughly unprepared for how lovely I found this one. It's very kind.

Spooky house, take-no-shit redhead, protective sibling elements, bisexual recluse with a sword who really just needs a nap. I haven't found a Harrow book yet I haven't slapped five stars on. She's so good at character and atmosphere, and I'm always surprised at how fast her stories race by.

The whole Daevabad trilogy (of which this is the first book) is just magical. A girl from the mortal world finds herself embroiled with the centuries-long prejudices and wars of djinn in a fantastical city. It's one of the rare stories of its kind that does have a love triangle, but doesn't feel like a love triangle; it's far less interested in the insufferable "who gets picked" than it is in the actual horrors these people are both perpetrating and coping with. It's an intoxicating ride.

Fuck You, TERFS: the book. Given that fact, there's obviously quite a lot of transphobia to deal with, but it's very clear that those people are wrong, and it's a super-engaging (and super-oh-god-what-comes-next) witchy time populated with queer, protective, interesting characters I'm excited to see again in the follow-up.

Have you ever wanted a haunted house story with visceral imagery and a rather lovely twist? Gailey has you covered. As much as I enjoyed The Echo Wife, I think I actually loved this one more, and it makes me so excited to see what else they've got up their sleeve.

One of my final reads for the year, when I was just churning through hardcovers at the speed of sound. I love this book. I recognize it won't be for everyone, but it takes so much of what I love about IT (one of my all-time favorite books, despite its flaws) and twists it through the lens of an author who escaped the Mormon church. It's horrific, it's fantastically abstract in places, it explores childhood and memory, imagination and abuse, and almost every character is queer. It's a great "I simply cannot sleep until I've finished" read.

[cobra-creampuff]

[katabay]

hi katabay! i loveee your art and comics and characters & the notes you include for every post... given me so many things to put on my reading list :) i was wondering why you deleted your sam winchester art? i found the art & what you had to say about him really interesting and was sad it disappeared so quickly. no pressure to answer though! i hope your day goes well 💛🌤️

I have great news! it's coming back! almost immediately after I posted that art, I realized that I wanted it to be a different color palette, so I took it down to work on it some more :)
