Arty Art Things ✨

Hellooo!

I've decided to post some of the arty things I've done either recently or in the last few years, well the pieces I'm somewhat proud of at least. All my posts tend to be a lot more wordy than they need to be but hey it's what I do here!

Conchúr White

Anyone one who's been on this blog for a bit will have probably have seen me talk about this lovely Irish fella. The pencil drawing is actually a year old as of yesterday, I only know that because screenshots of me flipping out about Conchúr following me on twitter popped up in my memories yesterday. I think I'd sent it to him at about 3 in the morning (I was not in a good head space at that point in time), so probably not what he was expecting to see when he opened his phone in the morning aha

The biro version is much more recent: I got bored while sat at my desk and doing research about university courses, saw a biro, saw my old drawing of Conchúr, had an idea. I revisited my GCSE art techniques and here we are. Again, I put this up on Twitter and now (at the the time I'm writing this) when you google "Conchúr White" it's the third top image of him which is a bit mad really. I think I spent all of about 20 minutes on Conchúr but another 45 minutes on the words behind him. The words are the names of the songs on his EP 'Bikini Crops', he doesn't just really love the idea of Channing Tatum driving him around at night in a daisy print bikini... Well maybe he does but what he does in his spare time is none of my business...

TechDif

So I mentioned that the pencil drawing of Conchúr came from a rough patch in my mental health and this one is no different! In fact this one came from an even worse circumstance so we love to see it. I had a bad, bad time in July and this started as a way of distracting myself from what was going on in my head. Without it, I can't honestly say I'd still be here so even if the final product of this had been a terrible mess I would still love it for keeping me alive. However, it did not turn out to be a terrible mess!

Now that the origin of this is out the way, where do I start with TechDif? Unlike Conchúr, I haven't really talked about them on here (unless you count one brief post about Citation Needed) before so I guess I'll do it here. The Technical Difficulties are a wonderful group of 4 British fellas who have had their fair share of fun online and even before. They did a radio show at university together, which went on to become their Reverse Trivia Podcast, later moving on to a panel show called 'Citation Needed': and a game called 'Two of These People Are Lying'. All of which I would thoroughly reccomend, they're one of my go to things when I'm having a rough time. All 4 of them are excellent! Tom Scott (red top, blue jeans on the picture) has his own YouTube channel which does content aside from TechDif. If you're quite nerdy and like science, linguistics, computers, or any number of other things you may enjoy Tom's channel. He is probably best described as "The Moderator" of the group, much like a tired teacher he tries desperately to keep everyone on track with what they're meant to be doing, but usually it does not end well for him. Then we have Matt Gray (space top, holding an ice cream) who also has a channel away from TechDif stuff, he does techy electronic things and has a series called 'Will it Soft Serve?' where he puts all kinds of strange things through a soft serve machine. Matt brings a very specific energy to TechDif and I can't fully describe what that vibe is but I love it. Matt and Tom also share a YouTube channel where TOTPAL is posted and they had a series called 'The Park Bench'. Moving on to everybody's favourite Gary Brannan: Gary Brannan (SATIRE hoodie, glasses) and can I just say, what a fella he is! He's just excellent! He is the one that will argue and rip into Tom the most (not in a malicious way) and hilarity ensues. There are some episodes where he is absolutely on it, getting all the points and others where he very clearly has no idea and that's where some of his funniest quotes come from. Given how badly I was doing at the time I made this, his response to it on Twitter was so so lovely. I specifically remember one tweet where he said I'd made him happy and although it was probably a flippant comment, it just made feel alright for a bit. Yeah I might be feeling awful right now, but I've made someone else happy so that's a nice feeling. Then last but certainly not least, we have Chris Joel (buffalo check shirt, beard)! I would be lying if I said he isn’t my favourite... His sense of humor is the one I vibe with most, he can get rather dramatic in parts and can chat bollocks like a champion. He has absolutely no online presence away from TechDif and, like Rens from Temples, I fully believe he’s a cryptid and lives off in a tree somewhere.

The picture took me about 4 days to complete, well 4 nights because I did most of it between the hours of 12 a.m. and 7a.m. - I remember watching the sun come through my window each morning. It’s made up of lots of little pieces, all cut out and stuck on; even the sky and hills are made of separate pieces of paper. Nothing was actually drawn on the piece of paper it’s all stuck on, it’s not how I usually do things but if I messed up one little but I could just redraw it rather than ruining the whole thing. The most tedious parts to make were Chris’ shirt because I had to draw each square individually and then join the as well, and cutting out the ban-hammer in the bottom right was surprisingly hard. Every single detail of the picture is a reference to the podcast/shows, I still have the plan sketch and reference list knocking about somewhere. I listened to a lot of true crime videos while making it to the point that certain parts remind me of different cases: the brandy now reminds me of Peter Tobin, and the big spiral thing reminds me of Tim McLean (very harrowing case) - sorry that fact is a bit morbid but interesting nonetheless.

I did post this for a little bit back in July, but I received some rather awful messages so I took it down. Generally, Tom Scott/TechDif fans are lovely but there’s been a few that have taken a disliking to me for some reason so I’m hoping they don’t resurface again. I’m in a better head space now though, so even if they do I’m more equipped to deal with it this time.

Hozier

This was a quick sketch I did in April, I was getting bored with lockdown and decided to summon the bog man himself. There’s not really much more backstory than that, no poor mental health story, no fun twitter story - he’s just here. He’s vibing. I will say I’m particularly proud of his nose, I just think it’s one of the best noses I’ve ever drawn. His hand is okay, but I think that the hands on my Conchúr drawings are better. So there is the Hozi-Boi...

The Corpse Bry

I’ve talked about Bry on here before as well, I love him, he’s excellent, top lad. He is a living Tim Burton character, he’s 6′6, very skinny, and his legs are longer than my will to live. I was watching ‘The Corpse Bride’ a few weeks ago and suddenly had an idea and so ‘The Corpse Bry’ came to be. I gave him a little panda friend because the panda has always been his animal - he used to wear a panda beanie all the time and his album had a panda on the cover. Again, there’s not really a fun story behind this one, I guess it’s somewhat fun because it’s the first art I made after finishing my psychology exams in October so it was nice to actually have the time to draw.

James Bagshaw

Ginger talking about Temples for the third post in a row? it’s more likely than you think! I did this one last week, I’d had a bit of a wobbly day and had group therapy on Teams in the evening and I just couldn’t concentrate on what was going on and I ended up doodling Mr James E. Bagshaw, the glitter crying fraggle man himself. It’s a bare-bones drawing that I could definitely work into more but I’m happy with it as it is to be honest. I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit and add the individual bits of fringe to his jacket, just thinking about doing that makes me tired. Maybe I’ll get around to drawing the whole band at some point...

Alice in “Wonderland”

This one is from about 5(?) years ago, it’s not my typical style and was a “study” based on another artists work (basically i just had to copy this fellas work). I’ll be honest, this one has a sketchy backstory that I won’t go in to because it’s not exactly a nice one, and because of that I also won’t say who the artist is that it’s based on. Despite this, I’m still really proud of this one and I’m so sad that I never got this piece back after I got taken out the class. I’ve considered trying this style again, I’ve even joked about doing another Conchúr drawing in this style as a nod to my progression through GCSE art, eventually leading to Conchúr drawn in ink on music manuscript and stained with neon paint and dyes - it would be quite the project!

So this has been quite a lengthy post so apologies about that but life goes on. Similar to the vinyl post, I’ll probably add to this as and when I make more art. Even if no one is reading these posts, I’m enjoying making them so that’s the main thing. It’s just nice to document things and the feelings that go with them. 💕

I Got Bored. Here's A Book

Just a quick warning before we actually start this mass roller coaster of bullshit. If you are easily offended, feel free to stop and reverse your hand to the home page.

Also, this is not a story of any kind. It's just a random bunch of subjects that mean something to me and I ramble on about. I drank quite a lot whilst typing 90% of this and watched a fair amount of Netflix

Just take a look at these chapters. I think you could see where this is going to go:

Depression

Anxiety

Television

Self Harm

Procrastination

One Word Chapter

Didn't See That Coming?

Swearing

Panic Attacks

The End?

Just another warning, there will be a fair amount of swearing in this so if you want to censorit out, feck off. It's safer, trust me.

Depression

Yeah, lets start off dark. That seems like it's going to be a great plan. Let's face it, everyone has their bad days. Try to lie, I dare you. I have mine and they get me to a point where I just want to throw myself into a keg of ale and a couple bottles of whiskey. Has to be the good stuff, otherwise my sadness is made more sad. I mean, who wants to depressed and drink a bottle of Tesco value blended shite when there is a long list that will make you feel slightly better, like Jameson's, Tullamore Dew and Paddy's. Yeah, I went straight for the Irish whiskeys, sue me.

Anyway, after my lengthy dabble with the art of drinking myself into a coma every night, waking up for work in the morning, finishing work and continue to drink, I decided that I need to ruin all of the relationships I have built over the years with a combination of heartfelt insults and trying to throw myself into traffic when they are looking. I'm a lovely person, aren't I?

What I decided to do after several attempts on my own life, well two attempts anyway, is to take the fucking hint and realise I'm not supposed to die. Did you know, that therapy is actually effective and gets you to the place where you feel a lot better and not suicidal any more. You see, it's almost as if the doctors who say you are depressed and need therapy are speaking the truth. Who knew? You know what I found doesn't really help. If you decide that you don't need therapy and that finding pictures of celebrities who have decided to end their own lives and post that shit to Facebook, saying that “Even The Happiest People Are Sad”. Its almost like they decide, before they leave the house, that they don't want people on the outside who have cameras and social media accounts to take pictures of them whilst they are having a bad day, and post it all over the fucking place. Fucking hell, I went to therapy for a year before realising that I'm just a massive idiot and if I thought a little bit differently, I could get over all of that nonsense that was going on inside my head. I, now, look at my depression like its one big fucking meme and take the piss out of myself because that's how I can deal with it. I mean, I don't read books and here I am fucking writing one.

The main reason why I look so differently at depression now is because of the millennials who think because something hasn't gone their way, they have to post shit over social media complaining about how hard life is. You haven't even hit 20 yet, you pricks. Wait until you get to 25 or 30 and come to realise “I'm in a dead end job, going nowhere and I have no money”. Oh Jaysus, wait until that comes along. You will think that not getting laid in that shitty club is a holiday.

I mean, there are some great positives to come out of having depression, going to therapy and getting to a point where you are comfortable with living the life you have been given. I, myself have reconnected with people who I thought I had lost, through my incessant need to push them away. I have a better relationship with my parents, now that we have started communicating properly again. I am a lot less selfish, and have developed a form of empathy I had no idea I had inside. I've even tried to help some people in their times of need, when they were feeling at their worst. I once wrote a letter to someone to try to make them stop going down the same road I went down:

“I have this incessant need to do stupid things to hurt myself

I have broken my hand multiple times to avoid mental harm but have inflicted physical harm on myself

I have destroyed possible relationships in the desire to remain alone, to stop myself inflicting my mental harm upon others

I have kept myself busy in order to stop myself from pursuing a premature non existence”

Told you before that I was a lovely person.

It turns out that maybe, my experiences, aren't as bad as other peoples. It might also turn out that your experiences aren't as bad as mine but I'm not going to presume. Hopefully, you've enjoyed the first chapter, I have no idea what's going to happen in the next few chapters, mainly because I haven't written them yet.

Anxiety

Disclaimer,

I was fucking hammered and heavily depressed writing this chapter and tried to write it completely in the 3rd person. Enjoy.

Have you ever noticed when people get really offended they decide to inhale very dramatically and hold their chest as if they have been hurt so badly that their heart has been hurt? Imagine if those people develop a heart condition. You'll never be able to tell if they eventually do have a heart attack or if you've just told a really funny joke.

Just to reiterate, “this book” is just my thoughts written down whilst I have a couple of drinks and watch Netflix.

Someone once told me that a persons feelings are subject to the person they are. I know people that are massively bitter and their stomachs always hurt. All they do is moan about what other people do or think and then constantly moan that they are ill.

Here Tom, isn't this chapter about anxiety? I'm fucking getting to it. Chill the fuck out.

Getting back to what I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. This person also told me that they get a sore throat every time they want to say something but they force themselves not to. Can you imagine what that's like? To not say what it is you want to say, just to not offend people.

I get super anxious around people who are better than me. I know someone who is literally the most caring person I have ever met. They care more about other people and how they feel than they do about how their life is going. Another thing I get anxious about is when I think that I've not accomplished what I thought I would have done by this point. I mean, I could claim that I was from a broken home, had to move from my home country to another and had to start my life from square one but I, then, realise that there are so many more people that go through that and I'm not special.

I've just poured another glass of whiskey. Its just about a half a glass. This shit is difficult to write about, can you tell?

If you haven't noticed yet, I like to make stupid jokes just to pass off that I'm OK in the head. “shakes head dramatically”. I put that in because you cant physically see me and I'm shit at drawing my head shaking.

I know a lot of people who smoke an arse tonne of weed just to get over their anxieties. Have you ever smoked weed? That shit is scary. I remember one time, New Year I think, I was working. Showed up at 10am, was supposed to be on until 6pm but it was so quiet that I got sent home after 2 hours. I went to the nearest town and drank like half a bottle of whiskey, well Jack Daniels. Does that count as whiskey? Its basically sugar with some ethanol. Along with several pints of beer and a shit burger from a Wetherspoons. Anyway, after drinking myself into a stupid comatose state where I was still somewhat functioning, myself and one of my friends went back to his house and he broke out the weeds, the green, the marry Joanna. After quite a lot of smoking and a bit more drinking I decided I needed to rest my eyes for a moment, just a single moment. Suddenly, I felt slightly ill in the stomach. I remember saying to him, “If you don't get a bucket, I'll throw up all over your floor”. However the video suggests something different. Yeah, there's a video. It goes something like this: “mmmmmmmmmmm mumuumumumu bucket muumuu floor”. The point is, there was a massive stain on his bedroom carpet for 6 months after. He didn't let it go. At all. The bastard.

That whole story doesn't explain how weed doesn't help my anxiety but I ran out of shit to say and I thought that would break some tension. Hopefully.

I'm currently listening to a song that tells you how to kill yourself. Yeah, this got dark really quick. Although, it has a great message. Don't rely on pop stars to write a song that will resonate with your feelings. Lady Gaga doesn't care if someone found her lyrics about the paparazzi inspirational enough to make them not kill themselves. (There are many pop stars out there who do the same thing, Lady Gaga was just the first person who came to mind). They've made their money, after that they just carry on making new “inspirational songs” and go on a new tour, make more money and the cycle continue. I listen to Twenty One Pilots' album Vessel when I feel really anxious. Seriously, those guys write about what they feel instead of what some songwriter thinks what other people feel.

Hey Tom, how are you going to bring this chapter out of the hole its in? You expect me to be funny and make a point? Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah,Nah....Hey Jude.

I've been at this chapter for too long now. I'm fucking done. Good luck understanding this mess I've just read this back. I mean, seriously, if you've got through this well done.

Television

Ah now for fucks sake. Who's idea was it to put in Television as a chapter? Mine? Nah, doesn't sound right. I'm not that fucked up to put this in here. I mean I'd put in music or video games. I'm more interested in those than I am in TV. Fine, Fucking, Fine. I'll talk about this stupid subject. I mean, fuck me. Dumb ass.

At this current moment in time I am watching the second season of Jack Ryan and I can conclusively say that I am not disappointed. Two episodes in and it has been a massive thrill ride. I mean, to go into Venezuela at the current moment is brave just to film a TV show. They must have spent more money picking the safest place to film there than it cost to pay the actors. I could imagine that John Krasinski isn't that cheap to hire after the first series and after the US Office. Not including his directorial debut in the Quiet Place. Magnificent.

I've also watched the Netflix series Daybreak about a dirty bomb going off in L.A and only people under the age of 18 surviving. Very clever concept for a show, and the fact that they managed to film in parts of L.A is even more impressive for a small time TV show.

3 paragraphs I managed to get through before getting to a point. I decided to throw on the last thing I was watching on Netflix to emphasise said point. Yeah, I'm watching the last series of How I Met Your Mother. DONT START. Seriously, I know. Up until the last 2 episodes it was OK. It was a great story overdone by bad direction.

4 paragraphs, look at me.

OK, by this time, I'm sure you're getting it. TV is a great way to distract yourself from the real world. A great way to distract from your problems in the world. I mean, you've got to find the right show for you but there are so many out there at the moment and so many ways to watch them. There will always be people who say that you shouldn't waste your time sat and watching TV, go do something with yourself. Just imagine what those people do when they get in from their days at work. They come home, sit in an empty chair and look at their walls. I mean, they could be reading a book. Preferably, this one. Or maybe not, but my point is still valid. You could read your books and force your brain to imagine the world that the book is coming to or you could spend the time to celebrate the people that have done that before you and decided to 'Do something with themselves' and make their favourite book into a magnificent visual performance. I mean, at this point, I have switched to the modern Sherlock Holmes series, which as everybody knows is brought to life from the many stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. This TV show is 90 minutes long per episode and is very entertaining, so you never seem to notice that the time goes by. This means that if you are feeling a certain way at the start of the show, there is a 90 minute period where your feelings could change, your opinion of the world could change.

OK, I have nothing left to rant about here. If I were to speak about another music or video games I would have been here for another 6 pages but I figured your time would be spent better here.

I mean I wrote the names of the chapters before I wrote the actual chapters themselves so you're as stuck as I am with what gets written. I could change this but where's the fun in that.

Good luck reading the next chapter. I promise, I will be completely hammered writing it because I'm going to continue writing after this chapter. I am currently on the verge of tears now so, I guess good luck to me too. Thank you for reading up to this point if you have. I've tried to keep it fun but now I'm into serious mode.

Self Harm

Hey people, lets enter dark mode. I mean every other company on the planet has already done it. I mean, apart from Facebook but those bastards let political propaganda through, so I guess that counts.

I mean, that's the shortest joke I've told so far so, for the people that know me, know that this will be a bastard of a chapter. And also ,for people that know me will also be looking at this chapter going, 'He's not seriously going to talk about this, is he?' Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Over the last five years, there have been several moments I am ashamed of. All of which are my own fault. I once launched an egg at someone because the oil that I was supposed to put it in splashed at me.

Did you know that even talking about a certain subject can sometimes bring up feelings you hate? Coming to realise that.

I fell for a woman. Gorgeous, smart, beautiful. We had a lot in common. She was my perfect equal apart from she was caring and humble about it. I'm an arrogant bastard. She was single at the time and I thought I had some form of chance to win her over not knowing everything about her. At this time, I was a very possessive person. I would have done anything to be with her. I let this attribution take control of me at the worst time. I wanted to play the long game, get to know her and eventually ask her out. I went out for drinks with a friend one night. Got absolutely rat arsed. I found out, that night, that she had been asked out by somebody else and she had accepted. I didn't know her very well by this point but because of my possessive compulsion, I took this very personally. It was neither of their fault, just myself.

Some time had passed and I was trying to prove my self worth to this woman. She was still with the same man and I was still jealous. Another night, another time these people were around me, another time that I tried to make it about me.

9 shots of tequila later. 9 exactly. Someone kept count by keeping a tally on my arm. In marker, before you get to excited. I'm not sure of how many other drinks on top but it was 9 tequilas. Anyway, I'd had some minor thoughts in the past of how my life should end but that night my head went into overload. You know, that summer was so bad for me I don't even know if this was the same night. Anyway, after some time and a lot of drinks later, I figured that this was the end of the night for me. Well, end of something for me. I had decided that this was the last straw for my bad luck in this world.

There is a point where half the people I know think a certain habit started but in actual fact this story is where my habit actually began. Everyone has their own stories, where they cut their wrists to fill some form of void, to feel. There are some people who look for it sexually, unfortunately I'm not the lucky. I decided this night out of pure frustration to pull said woman aside, point at a wall and told her that was how I felt when I was around her at that point. I was a brick wall. I wanted noting else at the time to kill that brick wall. So, what I did next is, by far the thing I regret the most. Out of everything I've ever done and believe me, I've done some bad shit. Over and over again, I punched that wall until I could no longer feel my hand and then, I carried on until I broke my hand and then, I carried on until somebody pulled me away from the wall. By this time, I had broken my hand in 2 places, I was bleeding all over the place and I had broken every friendship I had built and every relationship I had hoped to build. I think the most embarrassing thing for me was, the person who bandaged me up was the person who had the balls to ask the woman I had fallen for. Could you imagine? This was the person I had blamed for driving me to the place I was. He helped bandage me up and the woman who I had fallen for was consoling me and trying to help me get through what was in my head. I could not take this. In my head, I would never be able to recover from this. I continued for another 18 months to cut myself, punch walls, headbutt walls, kick and break my hand and other bones in my body. I was always in a mental state where I never thought that I was good enough until I decided that enough was enough.

Surprisingly, when people say that therapy works, they are telling the truth. Big wow. I think its safe to say I am definitely stupid enough to continue writing this nonsense. Well there's a few more chapter so lets see where we end up.

Procrastination

OK so its been a solid 2 months since I wrote the last chapter, which is long enough by anyone's standards, but for me, being the stubborn prick that I am, is no time at all. I mean, I can not do something for an extended period of time. It took me a year to launch a business I could have launched in 6 months only because I changed my mind on whether or not I wanted to start the bastard thing in the first place. It took me spending a grand on my first design to actually say, “Yeah, I'm in too fucking deep here to pull out”.

I've gone through 90% of my life not doing things when they needed to be done in favour of doing them the very last second, mostly because I was scared that they would never work out in the way that I wanted them to and that I would constantly be they failure I feared I always would be. I never believed that anything I was doing was worth the time or effort to do. I decided at the very end of college that I wanted to go to university but by the time I had decided this, it was too late to take seriously and I missed out. I did 3 years in college whilst everybody around me only did 2 because of this. Still, I never went to university so I guess that third year was pointless but the point was that I spent so much time on the internet playing online games instead of revising for exams and concentrating on my coursework.

This got very serious when it got suggested to me that I might need to go to therapy to sort out what was going on inside my head. I kept telling people that I would go eventually because I never though that I was “that” bad but going by what you have read in the previous chapters proves that I made the mistake of putting it off. Big woop. I did go in the end but it took some serious relationship breakdowns, quite a few broken bones and the attraction to my inevitable early grave to accomplish.

I think the message here is to not be afraid of what you thin will fail. Give what you want a try and if it fails, get back up and try it again in a different way. Never give up on something if you really want it to happen and listen to the people who you care about, who also care about you. Especially when they are telling you something is wrong and they are concerned.

One Word Chapter

Vukei

Didn't See That Coming?

Yeah, you probably should have seen that one coming. Its literally called a one word chapter.

It took me two minutes to choose the word. I had an unlimited choice to go with across multiple languages, so me being me went for the most obscure language of Fijian. What does the word mean? Do I look like Google?

There is no moral to this chapter. I just needed to fill in a gap to make this “book” look more full than it actually is. I mean, the moral could be that I've got to a point where I am comfortable enough to actually start doing what I say I am going to and then do it. I still get people telling me to do the most ridiculous things and saying that I will never do them because of the person I used to be. Imagine the look on their faces when I actually come through with the goods. I started a joke with a friend where , when we worked together, we would always listen to Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus whilst we worked and when we stopped working together, whenever the song came, we would SnapChat the other whilst the song was on. We said that this wouldn't last long so I personally made sure that the joke carried on. At the time of this being written we haven't worked together for over a year and the joke is still going.

Swearing

Welcome to this shit storm of a chapter. Do you ever notice that when you hurt yourself in a bad way you cant help but swear. That's because it releases a small amount of dopamine into your brain to help ease the situation you are in and stops some pain in the process. Weird, right? I'm in the strange occupation of chef where I am constantly getting burnt, cut and verbally abused in different languages, so swearing is one of those things that helps with the day to day survival of working in kitchens. I could fall into one of the other 5 habits that a chef develops as a result of the stupid work that we have to do. Those habits being:

Drug Abuse

Alcohol Abuse

Gambling Addiction

Caffeine Addiction

Smoking

I do suffer from 2 of these. Not saying which ones but I do have people around me that think I'm on at least 4 of them so that's nice but in every profession there is the secret, hidden thing that helps them through the day and that's the swearing aspect. I don't think, in the last 3 years, I have gone a day without telling someone that they should fuck themselves or that they are a cunt with them being aware that I am just taking the piss out of them an I don't mean half the shit I say. It just becomes habit to tell people to fuck off or suggest that they shove a large object up their rectums.

I used to knock the shite out of walls to relieve stress but I would always swear like a cunt after I would do it thinking to myself “You are a stupid prick and I hate you”. I would then look at my hand, laugh and say out loud “Ha you are a cunt”. The thought was always I would get over some of the pain if I constantly just swore to myself and carried on as if nothing had happened. Of course, my hand would always hurt for days afterwards and I would be swearing until it healed only to find another wall to knock shite out of and the process would start all over again.

Panic Attacks

A friend once said to me, “Bring A Harmonica Everywhere You Go, So If You Have A Panic Attack You Can At Least Make Some Music”. I never bought the harmonica but it is a very good way to portray what its like to have regular panic attacks. Could you imagine just busking in town, guitar in hand trying to be the next Ed Sheeran and then suddenly, your heart starts to blast out of chest, you feel light headed and you start to hyperventilate. That would be the best time ever to pull out your harmonica. You'll be on the floor with tears rolling down your face but you'll be smashing that cover of You Don't Know How It Feels by Tom Petty.

I starting writing this back when I was having regular panic/anxiety attacks, every 2-3 days in fact, but getting to this point its a bit more every month so, yay progress but I wrote the chapters out months before and I said I would follow through with it so here I am.

Funny story, I once had a panic attack in a nightclub whilst sat on a replica of The Iron Throne from Game of Thrones, whilst my friend was out on the pull. That's the whole story, seriously, but could you imagine having a great time up until the point when you realise you are surrounded by 250+ people you don't know, with a severe case of crowd anxiety and your friend abandons you for the prospect of sex. My head exploded and there was a very attractive looking wall outside that I felt needed a makeover. Never got the makeover, the lucky bastard.

I used to make the biggest mistake for myself whenever I felt anxious, panicky or depressed because when my depression was really bad, my drinking made it so much worse because I lost the control that I had over myself. My mistake in recent times is that, when I started to feel like my old self, I would have a drink to try to combat it. That is the mistake I would make. Try to stay away from my old self by doing what my old self would do.

Its got to a point now where, even where I am reading this back, and nothing in my body reacts. No anxiety, no panic and no depression. Well, saying that, I still have those feelings but they are not nearly as hurt filled as they were in the past. My secret, apart from therapy, on how I deal with life and why I am the way I am now is.

The End?

I mean, is there really an end to a story, an idea? I do have secrets, everyone does. My biggest is that I made a character in myself to try to avoid loving myself and anyone else. I acted as if I didn't care about other people to make it easier on myself if it came to a point where they let me down or, in the more realistic circumstance, where I let them down. I always tell people that I'm not a nice person to put them off this fact so that they see me as the character I made up. I make certain jokes to people to put them off and I say things to them to give them the idea that they need to avoid any form of relationship with me so that they don't get hurt in the crossfire of what I am.

In the 2 years since I have made this character, only 3 people have seen through it and seen me underneath, no matter how much I have tried to put them off. One of which is my mother, another being the woman mentioned in the Self Harm chapter and one more person who I fell for but not in the way I have before. Only because I am afraid of what would happen to me if I had made the same mistakes from before. Its really irritating trying to get people to keep the secret that I am a horrible bastard so I can stay in my own little bubble.

At the time in which I am typing this, I have not been to therapy for 2 months. In this time, I have learnt that:

Not everyone is out to get me

Not every decision I make will fail

I have the self control to not hurt myself physically or mentally

My emotions are not here to hurt me

I am capable of loving myself along with someone else

I am a nice person and I don't need to hide behind my old self

Swearing actually does help, I don't have any regrets there

Bring a harmonica to a panic attack if I want to be the next Tom Petty

Don't throw away the opportunity to love if given it. It will bite you in the arse if you do

Safe to say, even though I have my bad days, I have, recently, barely gone a day without having a smile on my face. For those who know me will know that this is a rare occurrence.

I don't think there will be a day where I don't think about the person I used to be. I'm sure I will use this as a defence mechanism in the future but I know that I will eventually get over it. If you ever see me later, if I ever just clench my fist. Just know that I am trying to counter act my old self. Not very helpful but still.

I want to thank every person who has helped me become who I am now because who I was previous was, to put it lightly, a total cunt. I have become a functioning person, with some glitches, only a couple though. I decided to thank everyone who helped me in person months ago but it needs to be said again to solidify my authenticity.

If you have read it to this far, you are one of the people who have helped me, inadvertently, but still thank you.

Tom

the meliora deluxe album rated

spirit

overall pretty cool start. song is less about spirit honestly and more about just sort of summoning a demon? should be called “how to summon a spirit”. i feel like it’s an instruction manual. honestly this is just such a fucking POWERFUL song it goes so hard so suddenly. it does a good job opening the album. 8/10 overall but the spooky halloween riff gets an 11/10

from the pinnacle to the pit

this song just makes me honestly feel confused and threatened. i like it but. im. “from the pinnacle to the pit it’s a long way down” like yeah dude!!! fuck!!! it sure is!!! has the word orbus which i think is fun. 7/10 it’s not my favorite but it has a cool sound

cirice

i fucking hate this song so much compared to her others. nobody understands i fucking hate this song. it’s not about someone named cirice which it should be. it’s just about satan trying to fuck???? or do something???? it’s such a break from the usual thing and it honestly feels like a badly written love song. satans love songs would be cool but on their own. it’s repetitive and the music video is WEIRD and i HATE this song 3/10 makes me uncomfortable

spöksonat

means ghost sonata in swedish. it’s a funky little interlude. makes me happy. 10/10 its from rats which is cool

he is

he is goes so fucking hard and it’s so fucking funny. where cirice fails he is fucking SUCCEEDS. it’s so good. the music video is a goddamn art piece. it’s horny and sophisticated at the same time. its so fucking amazing. i fuckign LOVE he is 12/10 it’s such a good song please listen to it

mummy dust

this song threatened me personally. 9/10 im afraid

majesty

tobias forge churns out another horny banger. this one is significantly more horny than he is and i think that’s a power move. i love majesty so much though the chorus being repeated Oh So Much makes me a little blech. has the word “clout” tho so i have to deduct a point. 8/10 cool song a little too horny for my tastes

devil church

absolutely no devil church referenced in this song. 5/10 because it sounds like a lemon demon song but otherwise does not slap

absolution

this song does feel like it’s specifically targeting literally anyone who listens to it. i feel attacked and also threatened. 7/10 i don’t feel safe

deus in absentia

iii fistfights god on a flaming viking ship. 9/10 god is dead

square hammer

god this is such a fucking HARD HITTING???? SONG???? it’s so intense and goes so hard but it’s also just like a fun spooky song. this plays in a haunted corn maze while im being chased. i love it so much. 12/10 reminds me of cry of mann

nocturnal me

0/10 i don’t like it

i believe

this is a weirdly positive and encouraging song. 10/10 i feel supported

missionary man

10/10 it fucking slaps don’t mess with a missionary man i don’t even have anything else to say

bible

should have been called babylon. otherwise i fucking love this song 9/10

Congratulations TRISHA! You have been accepted as Sabrina McCarthy. Please go through the checklist and send in your account within 24 hours. If you need more time, make sure you send a message to the main.

Welcome back, Trisha! It’s been ages, but I’m so glad you decided to join us again as Sabrina. I can’t wait to see where she goes on the dash cause I know that you’ll do wonders playing her. In regards to your question about having one of her parents be from England, go for it! I definitely think it makes sense with her character, and I’m fine with either parent. Welcome to Elysium!!

OOC INFO

Name: Trisha Age: 26 Timezone: GMT Preferred Pronouns: She/Her Previous RP Experience: [RFP] Activity Level: On a daily basis, I’m working office hours, until six in the afternoon. I’m usually free in the evenings, sometimes I need to go to a meeting or two but it’s rare. Of course, it’s also in the evening when I cook, clean and whatnot, but I tend to have at least one hour on a regular night to log in and be around. Anything Else: Nope! And I do hope I’m not missing any catches here, because I’ve read basically everything around, hahahaha.

IC INFO

Character Name: Sabrina McCarthy Second Choice Character: N/A Why did you choose this character:

I don’t tend to have a favourite type of character; I usually like them closer to who I am, a bit different, which gives me more room to develop them without strings attached. However, once in a while I need a change. Perhaps it’s my writer’s instinct telling me it’s fed up of the same old thing (like it led me to write stories in first person - which I’m not exactly a fan of - and write from a male’s perspective, as well as a variety of others experiments). I believe this time came. Sabrina is out of my comfort zone, which would push me to actually portray a character and not simply, naturally play it with my instincts. I have played characters like her before, of course, and it took me places I didn’t expect, which is always amusing.

Sabrina is apparently flawless, a privileged. Underneath layers of expensive designer clothing, imported makeup and youth, she has her own demos, caused by a relapse in the family, often amongst the wealthy ones. As I’m always drawn to the darkest bits of everything, I guess it’s concealed it all and slowly opening up the troubled cracks that led me to Sabrina. She’s very raw as a person, so I think she has a lot to be explored and refine.

Describe your plan for them: It will all depend on how things play out, but portraying Sabrina adjusting to a severe circumstance would be interesting. A more ordinary and less drastic scenario would be the loss of her clique - for whatever reason, from gossip to a misconduct in friendship from either end. How would she deal with the fact that she has no friends other them and how what would she do to come out of her decade-planned social agenda. She would be forced to interact with people that she isn’t too fond of, or even intimate of, for instance.My aim is, I want development. And with that, in Sabrina’s case, it comes with a lot of personal suffering. Her personality isn’t easy, she’s adamant about her beliefs and the way she was raised, without anything to trouble her and make her want to change; I want to put her in situations out of her comfort zone, to slowly build personal growth. And there’s no way of making someone without breaking them first.

Describe your character’s feelings, reactions, and potential involvement/want to be involved during/after the recent fall of the Council (At least a few sentences): Disbelief. Not a surprised one, but a “are you stupid?” eye-roll one. For Sabrina, everything was nothing but well-planned marketing. The media, nowadays, could do wonders to anything and anyone’s reputation - and she knew that quite well, being in her area of expertise. The videos all over the internet, the allegations - they were all publicity. That thought persisted as the first attack occurred in Times Square. It was an odd and clear cry for attention for whatever company was producing that movie/TV show/series/campaign, but it was all an act. Monster did not exist. After the third attack, her creativity perhaps couldn’t wander that far, yet she was rational and intelligent enough to realise something was wrong. That sixth sense clicked the moment he started starting at her, commanding her. Yet nothing said by Nicholas compelled her into doing anything at all. The man acted off with confidence and naturally. Sabrina fought back with teeth (ironically) and fists, running off. It was when she got home that she decided to peek through the layer of silk she were around her neck. Bite marks, trailing down her shoulder covered by blouses of long, high collars. In the danger of the madness the city was truly living now and her own, unanswered fears, she tried to play along without actually sharing with anyone how vulnerable and afraid she was, not even to her parents and closest friends, with the exception of Samantha, who took the time to explain her what many humans were still blind to, telling her small details and even teaching her a few ways to protect herself.

Para Sample:

(I’m sampling this thread, which is more developed and in depth, usually the way I prefer writing. It isn’t IC as I often struggle to write any IC applications.)

Bubbles jumped from the skillfully balanced coupe glasses seemingly superglued to the silver tray. Tulip ones would have been better to preserve the sparkly taste, but after countless refills of Moet - and some downed whiskey on the side - Ella lost her sense of criticism. Regardless of some errors perceived only by a controlling businesswoman, the celebration was, as usual, outstanding. The magazine’s filial in Canada was particularly acclaimed by their Christmas parties, a tradition in a country where snow cornered every living being. New Year was typically celebrated in New York City, back at Ella’s headquarters and main building of the fashion empire. Hard liquor could be found at an arm’s length, champagne was spurting from fountains and, needless to say, there were private areas where recreational ‘distractions’ had the prerogative of a turned blind eye.

In certain zones, the music was as loud as in a night club, the spaces dark as in the anonymity of a Vanilla Sky movie. It was a party, after all, and nobody could party better than rich, powerful people. Especially when they all held dirt on one another, which kept all the gatherings - no matter how large - always very secure for some occasional colleague lose control over the incentive of an invited outsider plus one - or multiples.

Particularly, Ella felt like indulging into champagne. It wasn’t unusual for her to drink (not lately), but the bubbly liquid seemed to be getting to her head fast enough to unleash her scarce inhibitions. It was past one in the morning, though, and consequently everyone else was cut or their way to alcohol intoxication, so the editor-in-chief didn’t mind her sharp, bold tongue and impulsive behaviour. It had proved to be fun so far, in spite of some honest, foolish mistakes.

With a half empty glass of flat Moet, the brunette detached from her crew of co-workers and headed to one of the many bars. With a bubbly smile matching her drink of the night, she requested a new coupe, taking the brief moment of wait to scan her surroundings. Coming to the party was purely an obligation, at first, but she managed to find the fun in it after some litters of alcoholic beverages. Those who knew her, were aware that the brunette was going through a rough time, regardless whether she would share the details and causes or not. Tonight, she allowed herself to feel lighter; tomorrow, she would deal with the consequences of hangover.

It seemed to have started ahead of schedule. A sting hit her temple vividly, like a pin hammered in her brain, at the blurry sight of a familiar silhouette. It was very much alive in her memory to provoke her the certainty of seeing what she thought to be standing across the room. No more than a month had it been she had last seen him, and from afar she could sense his presence, now that she was aware of it. However, it couldn’t possibly be him.

The bartender politely handed her the glass, while Ella’s azure gems wouldn’t diverge from the target her brain focused on. Her lips moved in a ‘thanks’ that was muffled by the music back in the open chamber nearby, so quietly she spoke. It was like being on a trance. In a black tuxedo, his gold-tone, slick back hair was all she could see. But the stance, the gestures he made whenever speaking to whoever was that unfamiliar person he talked to - the voice she heard had to be his, or else her mind was repeating it just for tease. Playful tricks of the mind, after too many glasses. She believed it, she also doubted it. He was away, somewhere in Europe. She was here. She came back. This isn’t happening.

He turned around. Black shawl lapel tuxedo, ebony shirt underneath - a complete full-black outfit just like that first party. Ella was also in black. Her colours were neutral, always black, beige, dark brown and, on occasion, some white. They looked like coordinating colours when most carried on the Christmas warm up in red and green. And the voice that she heard before, it turned louder as she, much to her surprise, walked toward her in the company of another man, which soon enough turned a corner and left Princeton to arrive at the bar alone. He was quicker than Ella’s despair to flee. She couldn’t hear her own thoughts, her heart was too loud in her ears.

Any questions/concerns/things you’d like to change: (siblings to add, pronouns, sexuality you’d like to specify, personality, face claim, history, etc., etc.)

If it’s possible, perhaps Sabrina’s mother of father could be from the UK? I don’t know, I’m asking because I live in Europe and there’s a few differences from the English here and from the USA. I think it could add a bit more of character to her, by having a double nationality and being raised back and forth two distinct continents. It’s not mandatory, just something I thought interesting. :)

Many words come to mind when you hear the name Cannibal Corpse, but one truly defines the soon-to-be thirty-year death metal veterans: Unstoppable. Produced by Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Goatwhore), Red Before Black serves to not only reiterate this but to once more raise the stakes, making it very clear who sets the standard when it comes to always compelling music that is equally brutal and complex. Moreover, the band have pushed themselves again, ensuring that it stands out from their catalog. "Throughout our career we've tried to improve the precision of both our musical execution and our album production, while still maintaining full-on aggression. 'Red Before Black' continues in that direction, but might go even further on the aggressive side of things. It's definitely precise, but it has a rawness to it that goes beyond anything we've done recently," asserts bassist Alex Webster. "We really worked super hard crafting these songs, practicing them, and getting them where we wanted to be more so than on any of our previous albums," adds drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz. "And as Alex said, musically I think it's the most raw sound we've had - and at the same time I think it's our most focused, tightest and catchiest record." Red Before Black track-listing1.

Section 9 image descriptions

Page descriptions for all pages in section 9 with flashing images! Trigger guide for this section is [link: here].

2760: Rose: Look at that kiosk.

The kiosk screen reads SN_HUBGRID and has a set of coordinates. It shows a map of all the hubs with numbers designating each square. The whole screen flickers, and one single hub flickers green. There is a command input at the bottom of the screen, and the last input command says >unlock SN_LAB0413.

Narration: Looks like a mapping of each hub’s index.

It appears one of the hubs was recently unlocked.

2763: ==>

Jaspers disappears on the transportalizer in a flash of green. Rose grimaces.

Narration: Great, you just vaporized your dead cat. Oh well. Ashes to ashes you guess.

There's got to be a better way to deal with this lousy tree.

2771: [S] Dave: Abscond.

Cal continues to flail on Dave, puppeteered by Bro. Cal’s face alternately flashes, taking up the entire screen. The word >ABSCOND flashes in pink. If selected, Dave rolls from under Cal and tries to run off the screen, but the option is sliced in half and Dave must retreat to the left of the screen as Bro’s silhouette appears with the words “CAN’T ABSCOND, BRO!” The music starts, Bro appears out of silhouette, and the words “ROUND 2” appear.

Bro points at Dave, then gives a thumbs-down. Dave holds up a smuppet head and draws an imaginary line in yellow across his neck. Cal’s face flashes, and then the word “STRIFE!” appears as the brothers’ swords clash.

There’s a bunch of fuckin swordfighting idk what to tell you here. Bro occasionally kicks Dave into the air or down to the ground in between the fuckin sweet swordplay. They both flashstep a lot. Eventually Bro’s silhouette fades in and Bro appears and grabs Dave by the neck, throws him, bounces him off his elbow far to the right and up into the air, and kicks him with Cal when he lands, all the way into the hallway leading down from the roof.

Repeating sequence: Dave falls down the stairs and Hella Jeff appears with the text “I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO!!!!” The direction then reverses and Hella Jeff again appears, saying “I TOLD YOU DOG!"

2779: [S] Rose: Ascend.

The flash starts with a shaking image of imps in John’s messy living room. The navigation, if clicked, goes up a floor, then zooms out to the alchemiter, then to the left by the tree, then into John’s room, then up to the roof, then, finally, up to where the action is.

John is smashing his pogo hammer from side to side between the ogres, in a green background that becomes filled with Slimers. John spins up into the air, smashing the ogre on the right; the ogre on the left aims with the tire swing, but is interrupted by a damaging blue beam of light, which after a pan to the left is revealed to be from Nannasprite’s eyes.

Panning upward, Rose’s cursor drops a fridge on the right ogre, but the ogre catches it and hits John with it. John goes flying but is caught in a glowing blue oven supplied by Nanna’s eyebeams. She throws it up in the air and John bursts out, spinning again, and deals a massive hit in a burst of green to the leftmost ogre, then bouncing back into the air.

Nannasprite drops various ghostly house appliances on the rightmost ogre, and then Rose raises the alchemiter into the air, turns it upside down, and John spins up onto it and hits it, bouncing off again with a massive BOING. He spins down and hits the right ogre, which flashes white and bursts into grist.

John turns toward the left ogre, but it is assaulted by a beam with cookies in it, which—a pan left—is coming from Nanna’s ghostly oven. John spin attacks the ogre for a few moments, then Rose drops the alchemiter on it and it, too bursts into grist. Victory music plays and John does his cute little victory dance.

2781: John: Climb that echeladder.

John holds both his fists in the air, wearing a little blue hat with a green feather in it. The rung “BOY-SKYLARK” flashes on his echeladder.

Narration: You rocket up the ECHELADDER to the dizzying heights of the vaunted BOY-SKYLARK rung!!! Your new feather is hard earned and well deserved. And alarmingly fashionable.

2788: ==>

Dad brandishes a fist, pipe still in his mouth. The background flashes various shades of purple.

[Panel 2] An imp in a magician’s hat frowns in dread of the punch.

2790: ==>

A black carapacian in an especially fancy, brightly-colored jester’s outfit watches on a giant pair of electric window frames/screens as Dad menaces various imps.

The same carapacian turns to a different screen which shows a still image of John doing his victory dance by the alchemiter which has just killed the last ogre.

2798: PM: Type => VIEW

The bottom right screen shows Jade holding a gun, surrounded by snow. Green light flashes all around her, and the screen blinks white.

Narration: You type another one of the previously entered commands. It switches to the view of a young girl standing alone somewhere. There is a heavy amount of video interference of some sort.

The girl seems familiar to you.

2800: Don't I know you?

The green light flashes more agitatedly, with what looks like electricity flashing over the image. Jade looks directly at the screen with a o: face, possibly shaking her head.

PM steps back as the entire console flashes with electricity and shakes.

2801: ==>

PM and her hat flash yellow, and so does the background.

2812: Jade: Scamper into grand foyer with wild abandon.

Jade scampers into the room and into one of the many visible globes (the kind with the Earth on it) and falls back on her butt. The words “LASS SCAMPER!” flash on the top of the screen in grey. There are a couple of suits of armor in the room, one of which was actually drawn by Hussie.

Narration: You scamper your heart out and bump into something. You don't know why he always insists on keeping it so dark in here.

Oh look, it was one of his dumb GLOBES. These things make it awfully difficult to navigate the foyer. We get it, granddad. You like to travel around the world going on adventures and stuff!

Lousy goddamn stupid globes.

2815: ==>

The fireplace lights up and Jade’s grandpa’s silhouette appears in front of the fire to give her a good spook. Jade recoils back behind the globe on the left, holding her rifle up out of the way.

There is a transparent image of the words in comic sans:

“and there he goes

the old man….

HASS the flame”

2818: {S] Strife!!!

Dave’s record symbol turns as a mimicry of a loading screen. Then the words “AW SNAP.”, then “PRELOADER PSYCHEOUT” flash in green. The actual loading screen shows Jade’s picture above the mantelpiece.

Jade wakes up and pulls out her rifle and goes into a fighting stance. The screen says “STRIFE?” in green, and Jade’s grandpa lights up, revealing he is actually a mounted taxidermied corpse. The >AGGRIEVE option shows. If clicked you can use the keyboard to do all sorts of adorable and silly things with Jade and her gun. Too many to describe, but rest assured, photosensitive readers, it is super cute.

2819: ==>

Jade squints determinedly up at her grandfather in the flickering light of the fire.

Jade’s grandfather continues being a corpse. He is also lit by the fire.

Narration (in italics): YES i am going out with this gun!!! no i will not go get a bigger one!!! no i will not take yours! I can't even lift it!!!!!! oh that is so preposterous. do you even hear what youre saying? i will be fine! this is a perfectly deadly gun and it shoots lots of incredibly deadly bullets! oh will you just stop it. i am going now. Goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!!

(in red italics): <3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2831: Rose: Cause time paradox.

The image of Rose giving therapy to her cat Jaspers, in the middle of a red reticle, turns to a blue screen that says PARADOXIFY.

Narration: You attempt to appearify Jaspers. This would surely cause a time paradox, because you can plainly see that he has not told you his SECRET yet.

But it seems the machine has a safety mechanism to prevent such irresponsible appearification practices.

2833: ==>

The machine beside the appearifier sucks up the paradox sludge that has just been appearified, holding it in a transparent holding cell below a screen.

[Panel 2] Some lights flicker on the machine beside the appearifier, and the screen shows a bunch of flickering letters, all CGAT. Mysteriously, a CG and A do not flicker at all, but that’s not plot important as far as I can tell. Also, the kitten has rolled adorably onto her back.

Narration: The machine beside it sucks up the paradox sludge and begins some kind of automated procedure.

It seems whatever sort of primordial biochemical properties the sludge possesses is being evaluated by the device.

2835: Rose: Have a flashback.

Little Rose covers her face in both hands. A tiny red exclamation mark flashes above her face. Jaspers appears to be whispering in her ear.

Narration: There is no need for a flashback. Conveniently, you can watch what happened right here on the monitor.

You roll the clock forward a few seconds. Jaspers reveals his stunning SECRET to you in strict confidence.

2837: Rose: Trace Jaspers' whereabouts on the machine.

The screen turns to static.

[Panel 2] The screen’s red reticle, a few days later, focuses on Jaspers, dead, in a dirty suit, on a riverbank.

Narration: You roll the clock forward to a week after he vanished. It seems there is no accessible feed tracing his whereabouts during that timeframe.

You fast forward another week. There he is, just as you found him.

2838: [S] Rose: Fast forward to now.

A cat face silhouette is the loading screen, fading from black to ectosludge green. Little Rose, looking sad, approaches Jaspers in the reticle dead on the riverbank. The mutated cat fetus floats in the jar, lit by green light; Rose watches the video, also lit by green light. The little mutated kitten’s tail twitches, then we zoom in on its face, which blinks two eyes at a time. We see the angelic bust of a cat, which fades into the funeral. Rose and her mom are wearing black on a rainy day, with Jaspers’s coffin covered in flowers. The red reticle is focused on the coffin.

We see the coffin inside the mausoleum, and the flowers slowly wilting and dying and disintegrating to nothing. The mutated kitten chews on the scarf.

We see a flashback of Rose’s actions in the mausoleum, then the kitten kicking the scarf with its hind feet. The video then follows Rose as she descends into the laboratory, then finally focuses on Jaspers on top of a transportalizer.

2840: Rose: Appearify Jaspers immediately.

Jaspers appears on the transportalizer. Rose has scooped the mutant kitten back up and is holding it in one arm. She is also wearing the pink scarf.

[Panel 2] The Skaianet Laboratory sign, reading UNESTABLISHED IN: has a countdown going from 14 to 10 seconds.

Narration: Good thing you finally got all this sorted out. You only have 10 seconds to spare.

Time to stash the dead cat and amscray.

2841: Rose: Stop fooling around and transportalize out of there!

Rose runs down the grid toward the transportalizer, holding the mutated kitten with the scarf trailing behind her. She disappears in a green flash, and the words “PRETTY DECENT ESCAPALIZATION” flash in pink.

2843: ==>

Jade faces the front of the screen. Behind her, in the hills, lightning flashes, and then the silhouette of a dog appears, turning most of the background into various shades of green emanating from (or pointing toward) him.

2848: [S] John: Examine your dad’s room.

John looks up in front of a portrait of Bing Crosby smoking a pipe. We see two hats on a hat rack, then a line of neat black shoes next to the hole the safe made. The words “KIND OF A BORING ROOM” flash in grey. John sweatdrops and looks somewhat distressed with a background of dress shoes passing behind him. There is a briefcase on the bed with some papers inside.

The words “JUST A BUSINESS MAN” flash. Pictures of John fade through the foreground, one of him holding the papers and one of him looking distressed. We see a large picture of a pipe on the wall, then “NOT ALL THAT INTO CLOWNS I GUESS” flashes.

John holds his head and flashes in inverse colors a couple times, as pipes dance in the background. The top of the screen reads “MOST SHOCKING TWIST YET”. We pan down a picture of Harry Anderson on the wall and a framed picture of John on the dresser, with some cards. We zoom in on that picture of Bing Crosby smoking a pipe with the words “WHO’S THIS DOUCHE BAG”.

Various pictures of John in shock flash, then the wall picture of a pipe, ties, iron on the bed, foot mat with a hat on it, a set of pipes on the wall, Betty Crocker cake mix, a shoe measuring thing, and then portrait of Harry Anderson. It zooms out to John, rocking back and forth on the bed and holding his knees.

2858: ==>

Jack recoils as the screen turns from the minion and the imp to a zoomed-in pair of eyes with a scar through one.

[Panel 2] Jack looks down at the hat as a hand points to it. The hand is wearing a ring with four grey orbs on it, one of which is lit and the others are dull.

Narration: Your transmission is interrupted.

It seems your GLORIOUS MONARCH has concerns over your wardrobe.

Diary of a Madman, Page 24

7,700 people peering inside. Don’t get trapped.

I. The Fountainhead Movement

Now that we’ve finalized our 12 Titans of Tech theses for the coming decades publicly, we will begin our deep dives into each one, for Fountainhead Members only. Here are last week’s exclusive analyses:

Medium’s New Product & Archive: comments on where Medium is headed, as well as this publication, based on a bit of inside baseball, as well as links to our new Archive feature.

Picking Your Next Investment: the strategy we used to pick NVIDIA before its 2016 meteroic rise and how you can use a similar methodology to pick the next one. PS, read more on The Base Code below.

Lowering the Cost of Solar with Software: an insider in the solar business for many years, Michał Bacia gives us a technical deep dive into the biggest cost considerations of deploying solar energy, today and into the future.

Self-Flying Car Startups: we’ve charted the various startups side-by-side based on publicly available information, as well as listing out the other valuable industries that self-driving tech will affect.

100+ Newsletters & RSS Feeds We Read Every Day: we give links to our favorite newsletters and provide the OPML file for 90 RSS feeds we follow to gain all of the insight included in Humanizing Tech for many years.

Join today for $9/month (through web browsers only, not inside mobile apps) before the price goes up again.

II. 2017 Is Here, Are You Prepared?

Get Superhuman Abilities with Biohacking: rounding out our public 12 Tech Theses for the coming decades, this roundup is aimed squarely at Thesis XII Superhuman Modifications.

How To Lose Weight Without Moving: we published a story with our friends over at The Mission because the reason we do all of this tech stuff is ultimately to help people and spread knowledge, not to become the world’s richest loner.

12 Tech Titan Theses

Video as an App: The stop-motion animation feature film, Kubo and The Two Strings, was a breathtaking piece of cinema. I fully expect in the future that our cinematic reality will be a bit more interactive, where we’re plucking along on our own choose-your-own-adventure movie by following one of the main characters. Interestingly was working on something like that a few years back.

Music as a Control Mechanism: Most people consider music the “sound” part, but forget that there is also the “silence” part, otherwise it would be just noise. And that it exists over a period of time. These are the 3 mechanics that these programmers called musicians use. Spend time contemplating what Silence means for your product.

Biologic Intelligence Disrupting AI: Scientific American, the publication that’s been around since 1845, published an article in their collector’s edition Top Science Stories of 2016 magazine. Guess what it was about? How Biologic Intelligence drives itself. This is real, hard science folks. And it works.

Space as a SAAS Platform: Water thrusters as unique propulsion. Spoke with Sebastian Straube last week. He’s doing incredible things in the European Space area, and he’s currently in the process of getting his LPs together for his new early stage Space VC fund. We’re incredibly excited to be working together on some things for the future of Space as a Platform. Stay tuned.

Automatic Health Optimization: Cancer isn’t the same thing for every person who gets it. In fact, cancer is personalized for every person. We need a personalized solution. While Grail has my favorite name and approach of the year (including a $1B capital raise), this chap is quietly building the pharma firm of the future.

Personal Hedge Fund: I have laid out the strategy, product platform, complete with gamification mechanics for The Base Code. The main insight is, “how do you use free, mobile apps that already exist to help everyday people invest small sums of money from each paycheck that eventually turns into your very own large hedge fund aimed at retirement”. Email me if you want to take it to market. I’ll write out details for Fountainhead Members.

Personal Power Stations: We’re going to need farms on Mars.

Self-Organizing Biorobotics: I’ve started a new book describing how nature innovates. It uncovers the secret for how evolution works, not just proving it exists. Did you know that the sheer mathematical size of the number of possible combinations for even an eagle’s eyesight is larger than the time of the universe’s existence. So how did nature innovate our evolutions? That’s what this is about.

Autonomous Internet of Things: Mercedes is hiring a Strategy & Innovation Analyst.

Reality Retail: Neiman Marcus withdrew its IPO while Macy’s, Kohl’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s and JC Penney’s stocks are all getting hammered down -10% on average. They need a better way if they want to compete for Millennial dollars. Part of that answer was in Thesis X. Give another look at our Future of Luxury Retail analysis and the luxury gifts product we built for a potential answer.

Interstellar Sports Wearables: Covered widely last week, the growth hacker who was fired after 3 weeks at Snap seems fishy. You don’t work at Facebook on growth if you suck at your job. Read Snap’s IPO MD&A carefully. Make sure you’re not being affected by the Spectacles hype. They’re not reaching new users, much like Twitter’s stalled growth. Determine what type of business it is first before you invest.

Superhuman Modifications: as mentioned above, have a read through our latest analysis: Get Superhuman Abilities with Biohacking.

III. Thoughts of the Week

New Feature: Archive

Stats: Humanizing Tech’s Alexa rank is Universe: ?, Earth: 1,016,313, USA: 274,778

Other Stats: Google’s Alexa rank is #1, followed by YouTube and then Facebook. Reading between the lines of trying to understand humanity, we 1) search 2) watch and 3) are social. Consider all of those for the next product you’re building or investing in that touch any sort of human use case.

News: The $100B Softbank fund supported by Japan, Saudi Arabia, and now Apple, “will be focused on artificial intelligence and robotics”.

Philosophy: If being early is the same as being wrong then JFK really messed up with that whole “we’re going to the moon because it’s hard” thing.

Heresy: any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established customs or beliefs. A heretic is a proponent of such claims or beliefs.

Count me in.

Cannibal Corpse reveals details for new album, 'Red Before Black'; launches video for first single, "Code of the Slashers"; announces European tour with The Black Dahlia Murder, No Return, In Arkadia On November 3rd, Cannibal Corpse will release their 14th full-length, Red Before Black, via Metal Blade Records. For a first preview of Red Before Black, the band has launched a video for the single, "Code of the Slashers". Directed by Zev Deans who created videos for Behemoth's "Messe Noire", Ghost's "Square Hammer", Portal's "Curtain"), "Code of the Slashers" can be viewed at http://metalblade.com/cannibalcorpse where the record can also be pre-ordered in the following formats: --digipak CD --limited edition 2CD digipak (EU exclusive) --opaque red vinyl (USA exclusive - limited to 700 copies) --coke bottle clear vinyl (USA exclusive - limited to 500 copies) --white vinyl (FYE exclusive - limited to 300 copies) --transparent red / clear split vinyl (USA exclusive - limited to 500 copies) --translucent blue vinyl (Hells Headbangers exclusive - limited to 300 copies) --180g black vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 1500 copies) --olive green marbled vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 500 copies) --blood red / black marbled vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 300 copies) --blood red / white splattered vinyl (EMP exclusive - limited to 200 copies) --white / red splattered vinyl (Ebay exclusive - limited to 200 copies) --opaque wine red marbled vinyl (Napalm exclusive - limited to 200 copies) --box-set (limited to 1500 copies): limited edition 2CD digipak, 'Blood Covered' white / red marble vinyl, cassette, back patch, sweat band, guitar picks, and poster in a black cardboard box (~12.5" x 12.5" x 1.25") * exclusive bundles with a shirt, plus digital options are also available! Zev Deans comments: "After crawling through abandoned buildings, crashing our van into a tree in the middle of a scene, witnessing a real stabbing and drenching ourselves in fake blood in a derelict park at 5am, we can safely say this was a proper introduction to the slasher genre for Panorama Programming. We brought a slab of fresh meat back from a rotting metropolis, and we're serving it to you raw. Come and get it." Many words come to mind when you hear the name Cannibal Corpse, but one truly defines the soon-to-be thirty-year death metal veterans: Unstoppable. Produced by Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Goatwhore), Red Before Black serves to not only reiterate this but to once more raise the stakes, making it very clear who sets the standard when it comes to always compelling music that is equally brutal and complex. Moreover, the band have pushed themselves again, ensuring that it stands out from their catalog. "Throughout our career we've tried to improve the precision of both our musical execution and our album production, while still maintaining full-on aggression. 'Red Before Black' continues in that direction, but might go even further on the aggressive side of things. It's definitely precise, but it has a rawness to it that goes beyond anything we've done recently," asserts bassist Alex Webster. "We really worked super hard crafting these songs, practicing them, and getting them where we wanted to be more so than on any of our previous albums," adds drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz. "And as Alex said, musically I think it's the most raw sound we've had - and at the same time I think it's our most focused, tightest and catchiest record." Red Before Black track-listing 1.
