They're....

OK. So the US House is actually initiating a bill to buy Greenland. They're calling it the "Make Greenland Great Again" act. They've also completely flummoxed the Constitutional order of things - the bill as written gives Mr. Trump power to initiate a territory buy (which he doesn't need) and gives up Congress's responsibility not just to receive but approve any purchase treaty.

I know this is serious stuff and depending on how it happens, if it happens, could be an international incident with NATO. But it's also so stupid it's hilarious. I can't stop smiling.

Because they're so damned stupid.

I do hope this is distraction or the GOP trying to stroke Trump's ego, or something that makes at least a scintilla of sense. Then again, it could just be Wednesday.

thinking about how eiji's a pole vaulter and how ash talks about eiji "flying" and how eiji's associated with bird imagery and how eiji's free (unlike ash) and how eiji comes in on a plane and leaves on a plane and how ash cannot fly, ash cannot be free, how nyc is ash's prison, and how ash is the leopard who dies climbing the mountain, unable to live at such elevation, how he was trying to reach the sky and be free but was always stuck to the earth, how he chose to die instead of climbing back down, how he chose to die where he could see the sky and hope and freedom almost like a bird with eiji's letter right in front of him rather than letting everything go wrong and ruin it once again, how eiji's a failed pole vaulter anyway, how a bad fall ruined his career and grounded him (physically and emotionally), how it took flying to america and meeting ash and needing to save him and skip for him to try flying again, how he landed hard and harsh and still the thought of that escape compelled ash to protect eiji at all costs because if he could fly that means something to him, even if he doesn't think he can fly, how eiji is the manifestation of his hope and how when he breaks and asks eiji to stay with him a while he folds himself over his legs and weighs him down and traps him and grounds him, how ash fights like hell to keep eiji alive not because he thinks he can be like him (hopeful, flying, innocent), but because he makes him forget the gravity of his situation, and so he can see eiji fly again. how he wants to see him escape. how eiji is a bird and ash is a wildcat and how ash never once saw eiji as prey. how eiji never saw ash as a predator. how it is eiji's naivete that first endears ash to him, how it is his freedom and flight and removal from darkness and his ability to leave that darkness that really roots eiji in ash's blood as something essential to him keeping on living in this hell of nyc. how it is that distance from the violence and that hope for the future that ash chooses to surround himself in as he dies. how ash dies in a dream because he feels more than anything that he can't fly like eiji, that he can never leave. how his violence is a part of him and will be forever, how it weighs him down. how he wants to enjoy the view from the mountainside rather than looking up from the ground below. as if they can both fly. as if he is with him up there and not grounded. eye-to-eye with what he can't have, seeing eiji's homeland: the sky. how he dies trying to reach the top because he couldn't take retreating and trying again. how ash, tired and tired and tired and convinced it will go on forever if he crawls back down the mountain, chooses to close his life deluged in eiji, in eiji's insistence that they can fly together, in eiji's hope for him and for them, in eiji's beautiful dream. how ash dies without trying to realize that dream. how ash, in dying, destroys it.

I'm crying big fat grown-up tears about this. After everything. At the bottom line of it all. He is love.

Compiling all of these comments and asks together because yeah, I think I was dragging my feet on it because I couldn't figure out a way to keep the Dreemurrs monstrous while still raising Kris in the normal world, and drawing the creepy monsters is the real fun part! But, I think all of the eldritch horrors and beasts just exist in the Dark World, so the Dreemurrs would need to be human. But hey…if they're in a dark cult, there's always the option for creepy goat masks!

Although I don't think I'd want Hometown to be in the exact same situation as Possum Springs, there'd definitely still be some generational tension and the feeling of a small community being forced through drastic changes. Enough for some of the older town members to be involved in some preeeetty dark business that the younger generation isn't as much aware of yet!

As for Asriel, I think he actually did end up all right…which would actually be a bit of a problem for Toriel and Asgore, since Asriel ends up bonding closely with Kris once they're adopted into the family, and is fiercely protective of them. The parents end up having to wait until Asriel is away for a couple months doing some more extensive scholarly training before any sacrificial rituals can happen, since if Asriel ever found out, there'd be some kind of hell to pay…

All that said, here we go finally! Also included Asgore, since that seemed necessary:

I keep being so mean to poor Toriel, oh no!

My beloved partner is making me watch the Amazing Digital Circus, and unfortunately, having worked in 3D on my way to my degree, I have been screaming at Netflix for the last 30 minutes about overlighting and overdesigning backgrounds for complicated multi-colored characters, overanimating (WHY ARE THE TEETH MOVING LIKE LIPS?!?!?), and just not hitting plot or comedy points in the flow they needed to really sell me on the show. I appreciated what it was going for but it made me insane that they were this close to something really good and technically amazing (they have the chops for it, obviously, holy shit this takes skill) and didn’t stick that landing in some crucial ways for me.

And now I’m watching episode 2 (because it has been demanded of me lol) and I am about to cry because the background has more affinity and the correct amount of contrast with the subjects of the scene, the animation feels more motivated/purposeful, jokes are timed better, the eerie undertones actually FEEL eerie, overall an 11/10 improvement that really makes me wish they had reworked the pilot some more before it went to Netflix. I’m still on the fence overall but I’m proud of the team working on it for how much work they’ve put in, and it shows how much they’ve learned about how to do what they love doing at a higher level between episodes.

Lads I'm going insane because I cannot find a very specific tumblr post I remember seeing months ago that was a list of every torture device down in Castle Dimitrescu's basement

FINALLY finished these romance style alt-covers for my first 4 books!

They're slip covers, so if you'd like the books to slip into something a little more comfortable, these covers will accompany your books while Adam and Steve accompany each other on their journey~

I'm planning to get the titles, name, and book number foiled :)

I printed an examples for book one on my home printer, so no foil, but it looks so nice on the book!

It's an add-on on my kickstarter now!
