touch tone telephone by lemon demon is so Griffin Lovell I am insane about tjis I wrote explanations for some of the lyrics
beware spoilers and Long
I think it's time for you to know the awful truth/Mm, the truth about me, and the truth about you
Griffin telling Robin the truth about Babel
How no one actually wants to create a better future for them and that they are tools that the empire uses to leech off of other countries
I try to call you every day /I'm rehearsing what to say when the truth comes out (of my very own mouth)
Wants to tell the world about the truth of how terrible Babel
Wants everyone to listen and understand him when he talks about destroying the empire
And how the empire has no regards for peoples lives in other countries
I've been working on a unified theory/If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out
About Hermes society’s plan to stop the opium war
'Cause I'm the right one
Griffin’s right about the necessity of violence
On my touch-tone, touch-tone telephone/I'm the only one/On your AM, AM radio
Hermes society are the only ones willing to risk their lives to spread the truth about colonialism
'Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand/'Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand the meaning of this
How Robin is the only other person whose mother tongue is Chinese
Oh my god/I try, and I try, and I try to make you listen to me
Griffin trying to convince Robin that Hermes will be his only option in the end
I'm an expert just like you/And like you, I'm a genius before my time/Disbelieving, that's the real crime
It’s unfair for people to go on with their lives using the resources of other countries without acknowledging where they’re from or the hard work that went into them

not an american? allow me, an american🇺🇸, to explain our very simple and totally not-corrupt recent presidential history
in 2016, after being in office for 8 years, obama and biden passed the presidency to trump. then trump tried to win again, but biden beat trump, so trump then unwillingly passed the presidency back to biden, with harris. then biden really tried to pass the presidency to harris, but trump has now beat harris, so biden and harris will now pass the presidency back to trump.
so basically our leaders are just playing a really dirty and high stakes game of hot potato.
hope this helps!
#hot potato hot potato who has the hot potato#ooh ooh who did it land on???#the mentally unfit orange man in the corner who’s babbling nonsense#i’m so scared for the potato#who’s up next?#harris?#a biden?#a trump?#a kennedy?#perhaps a clinton?#anyone can go really#as long as it’s somehow corrupt#you can literally commit a crime get dementia or even not get a single vote just a pat on the back from the big man and you’re in!!#i love my country and i’m proud to be an american but we deserve better leaders#i can’t believe we have 4 more years of this#does canada have any vacancies?#us politics#united states#us elections#kamala harris#donald trump#joe biden

The priory of the orange tree should really be referred to as “Arteloth Beck’s great journey into the unknown of atheism.”

Favorite BB design detail: the way that eye colors are used for things like scars, noses, and inner bits (ears and tongue). No idea if this is a Basic Ass drawing trick I've simply never encountered, but much every time I see it I pog. It just looks so, so good.
It's an intentional style choice because I'm from the 2000s and I still have not mentally recovered from that one funny forum avatar of a cat with matching neon eyes and tongue licking a screen. Irreparable damage to my psyche. At heart I will always just be a sparkledog.
The tip to making them pop even more is to pick a secondary color that's more saturated, maybe even move around on the color wheel a little bit. Especially when you're coloring yellow eyes-- if you add a second color that's a bit more orange, it makes the color read as golden.
#and then the secondary eye color can act as a secondary 'skin' color#so for example you could use the orange for the teeth and yellow for the mouth#bone babble#My nega-artstyle would probably include picking very realistic colors lmao

this author has implanted so many north american exclusive species onto her fictional remote swedish island that i'm 60 pages from the end of the book being like well there's not like a Zero percent chance that there's a last minute reveal that this island is actually off the coast of canada and this is some kind of the village situation
#i have not seen the village#coyotes. raccoons. wild orange poppies. chokecherry. rose pogonia.#i don't trust her about anything now i wouldn't be species checking everything if she hadn't put in COYOTES and RACCOONS#babbles#they have visited the mainland a few times so probably not a the village situation but oh my god#she has to have looked at wikipedia at least ONCE in order to justify the mention of a lute in the 1830s#but not any flora or fauna.

I want to take this one moment to just open my arms for all my friends, who didn't vote for that fucking orange Amoeba of a fucking rapist felon , and wrap them in the biggest, strongest hug I am capable of.
I love you all so much, you cannot even imagine and I am immensely sad that this happened to you all. I am crying when I see what this ass of a man wants to do to your beautiful country.
I wish I had the power to actually do something about this.
But all I can offer is just a hug.
#Nemo babbles#I seriousy have been crying and in a faze all morning#I couldn't do anything but stare at the screen#and think about all my friends over there#how this will impact them#how this will hurt them#and I just feel so mad with the people who have actually voted for that fucking orange amoeba#they do not even realize they have voted for Fascism#Trump is racist#sexist#and homophobic#and a mysogynist#so what do you expect me to think of you if you voted for him??

Ok so I’m probably too late to this party but I just have to know if anyone else found Niclays perspective really heartwarming in the oddest way because you see Eadaz and Sabran this whole book and you watch them love regardless just like Clay and Jan 40 years prior and it’s just like oh… the world isn’t so different and neither are these people

I've asked you about the blurb, but how do you feel about the cover of Star. I'm not a fan of the 'stars' in Mistystar and Reedwhisker's fur myself, with it looking closer to vitiligo, and I've seen the sentiment echoed elsewhere.
I showed it to my lover, who does not know anything about WC besides what I tell them, and the first thing out of their mouth was, "That one looks like it's licking the paint off itself" and uhhh that's the nicest thing I can say about it
#believe it or not. I try to be......... Nice to the Owen art#If I was as mean to the Owen art in public as I am in private I fear it would start war#I'll tell you this much though#that cover sure can Orange#bone babble
