But if James Roach says Pesterquest is canon, then he says the Karkat Route is canon, which has Karkat visit Dave and force Davekat to be a thing. Don't forget as well, the same team in Pesterquest, hated on David Turnbull aka traceexcalibur, the person who put DaveJade in Jade's route. They got a lot of flack from the team and was kicked out from WhatPumpkin because of this. So WhatPumpkin and now James Roach with HICU, are picking and choosing what should be allowed in the Homestuck projects.

wada sez: A final look-in with Ratchet in Marvel canon; the Generation 2 lettering style is used to help place the strip in continuity. The title, “Broken Circle”, alludes to the title of issue #78, “A Savage Circle”. On Seibertron, Turnbull clarified: “It doesn't take place during Issue 77. It takes place at some point after Issue 79 when Galvatron has been slam-dunked into the ice by Fortress Maximus. If you look at Megatron you will see that he is in his Action Master form and is distinctly undamaged. Which is a form he didn't have in issue 77.” Megatron would next appear in the G.I. Joe crossover issues, as seen in yesterday’s re-run.

The Padang In 1851

It was rather dim where this painting was hung. The camera had pushed up the ISO to 6400 resulting in a very noisy (level of over 20) image. But this was left alone for the sake of retaining details.

Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror will be published on October 3 via Random House. It's curated by filmmaker Jordan Peele, who also provides an introduction and serves as editor with John Joseph Adams.

It features short stories by Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N.K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L.D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor, and Cadwell Turnbull.

The 400-page book will be available in hardcover, e-book, and audio book. The synopsis is below.

The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation. A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world... and redefine what it means to be afraid.

Pre-order Out There Screaming.

After showing off my cresties color changes now I wonder what your favorite color changing critters might be?

Color Change:

Well, hands down, it would have to be cephalopods. They have amazing color change capabilities... especially the cuttlefish!

Rockin’ around… the uh… what? Meet the Christmas tree worm (Spirobranchus giganteus). This “festive” marine worm lives on tropical coral reefs around the planet. Its name is derived from the spiny fir trees that are emblems of the holiday season. But at just 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in size, you won’t find any decorations hanging from this species’ “branches.” While part of the worm is buried in the coral, its colorful appendages are used for breathing and for snatching plankton to eat. In ideal conditions, Christmas tree worms can live for up to 40 years!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

These fish is the GOAT-- the goatfish, that is! The species in this family are characterized by the two long barbels which extend from their chins like a goatee. The barbels act like whiskers, and contain chemosensory organs which help the goatfish to probe the ocean floor for a potential meal.
