For my 50th birthday this last summer I didn't want my kids to feel the need to do anything crazy for my birthday so I asked them to buy me books. Specifically I asked them to buy me old used paperback versions of one of their favorite books and then to write a message in the front cover of why it was one of their favorite books.

Good Omens was the book my daughter gave me. An excerpt of her note on why this is one of her favorites is as follows:

"I like that the demon isn't 100% bad, and the angel isn't 100% good. Like Crowley and Aziraphale, I've learned that asking questions is all part of the great plan."

I completely agree. I haven't read this book in decades, so it was great fun getting to read it again especially after watching the series. The series is so close to the book that when you're reading the book the differences really jump out. It was interesting to see what Neil Gaiman added or edited to make the series work as a series and a few things that were updated just because times have changed.

But above everything else I was just amazed at how well written this book was. Even the most seemingly mundane sentence was written so well. The flow, the word choices were all just perfect. I've read interviews where Neil Gaiman says that he and Terry Pratchett were mostly just having fun and trying to impress each other. It's very obvious that was the case. They weren't trying to write a hit, they were just having fun. There's something to learn from that.

Soap, please stop strangling the prisoner.

This is such a silly comic, but the premise was too funny to pass up drawing it. It's from this incorrect quote by @cod-dump (and me lol) so uhhhhh hope y'all enjoy. @darth-void @mysticalgalaxysalad

Tac's Yearly OC Art Shirt Design - 2024!

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!!! For anyone who doesn't know, every year I make a collage of a bunch of art I've gotten of my characters over the preceding year, and get that printed on a t-shirt for myself!! I do this as a way of thanking everyone who's made me something, regardless of if its on this shirt or not, and then showing it off to other people any time I wear it! This is the 6th year in a row that I've made one! :D

I’ve had the design for about a week now, and the shirt came in the mail earlier today, so it's finally time to post it!!

About half of these are from Art Fight, with the rest being mostly gifts, trades and a couple commissions in there too hehe :3

There are 11 different characters of mine on here (plus one friend's OC hehe), and most of them have a pretty good showing! Though there's strong contributions from Seabreeze, Luau, Starburst and Tarmac hehe! Can u spot all my characters? hehe. Overall, included in here we’ve got: Shep, PB, Starburst, Luau, Seabreeze, Rye, Pumpernickel, Astro, Soda, Tarmac and Vostok!

And of course! Those characters are represented through the 18 amazing artists who were all kind enough to allow me to include their work here!! Again, this is one of the ways I say thank you to anyone who’s ever made me something. Whether I included your work or not, I absolutely love anything anyone takes the time to make for me <33

And here are the people who made the art featured here! Go support their work if you don’t already! :D (Also linked are each piece they contributed!) @macaronichewtoyz! [ 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 ] @clear-valley! [ 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 ] @lesbianluxray! [ 1 ] @faaarawayyy! [ 1 ] @a-little-monotonous! [ 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 ] @bellhopping! [ 1 ] @hummiscellanea! [ 1 ] @natarstyc! [ 1 ] @ajd-na! [ 1 ] (Had the J and D swapped on the shirt, sorry aha </3) @woofledog! [ 1 ] @grovery-store! [ 1 ] ArchivalWyrm [Instagram]! [ 1 ] (Credited as LunarGalaxyWing on the back of the shirt since he changed his username after I ordered the shirt lol) RolyJulioli [Instagram]! [ 1 ] Creative_Lass [Instagram]! [ 1 / 2 ] Abyssal_Sapphire [Instagram]! [ 1 ] SilvarooHub [Toyhouse]! [ 1 ] KittenPlush [Instagram]! [ 1 ] FangGraves [Instagram]! [ 1 ]

To anyone wondering, no, this shirt is NOT FOR SALE!! This is a very personal thing for me every year, and of course it would be wrong of me to profit off the work of other people

Again, thank you all so much to those of you who’ve made me something at any point, who’s work I’ve included here, and just people who continue to support my work and what I do. It really does mean the world <33

You can see what the actual printed shirt looks like, along with closeups of the design and previous years' designs below the cut if you want! I'll also reblog this with my previous years' versions as well! :D

COD MW2 [2022] - Atomgrad Raids

Here's some of the information I was able to find on the Atomgrad Raids, below the keep reading line is a YouTube Video containing all the cutscenes if you don't want to go through a just over 2 hour walkthrough for the story.

There was some information that I was unable to find, which is on the fandom wiki, but since it's only text and not screenshots I'm personally not sure how accurate it is.

Side Note:

I've also added a screen recording at the bottom of my favourite scene that I feel we need to talk about more. I absolutely love Gaz and Alex's character dynamic, and this scene shows it perfectly.

There is also another scene that I love that shows Alex and Farah's dynamic, I love how Alex is the calm to Farah's justified rage. Which is in the linked video below is at about the 19 minutes and 18 seconds mark.

All Raid Cutscenes

Timestamps: 1 - 00.00 | 2 - 10.36 | 3 - 12.35 | 4 - 17.04 5 - 19.18 | 6 - 31.25 | 7 - 32.29 | 8 - 48.56

Translated Arabic

Intel 1 : "Mother, I want you to know that I am safe, for now. Though this may be the last time you hear from me. This morning, the Killers arrived. They came with weapons and anger. They took us from our homes and gave them to soldiers. The house papa built for us now houses those monsters. I was able to escape, but my Kamal was taken. God only knows what they've done to him. You will worry for me, and I would be a fool to tell you otherwise. Please know that I have not given up. I still have hope. -Amal"

Intel 3 : "Armory restocked M4s, Tac-Exs, K-Blocs Code is: 627 Keep it to yourself this time, okay?"

TIMELINE [ rough ]

48 hours previous an abandoned bunker/soviet fallout shelter is found by goat herders.

Farah tasked a follow-on team of LF fighters lead by Alex. Last Update from Alex was 2022-12-22 0829.

Laswell's last attempt to contact Alex was after 2022-12-22 1100, the team consisting of Farah, Gaz and Captain Price is sent soon after this.

Of all the books I read this year, I would be remiss if I didn't include my own book. Because not only did I read it, I wrote the damn thing! And I'm pretty proud of it. You can read the whole thing for free here. If you buy it, I'll donate all proceeds to UNICEF USA.

The Man Who Killed The Man Who Killed Putin is a novelette I wrote in a Cold War, PTSD fueled state of Gen X anxiety. It takes place in the same world as my first book, Super-Borg Dies, but can be read independently as there are references to the first book, but nothing important to the plot. It's told as a story that's been passed down from generation to generation in an oral tradition, so it reads very conversationally. It was a lot of fun to write and I've received a lot of good feedback on it. I hope you'll check it out.

The antisemitism, the homophobia, the violence — this isn’t the American right flexing its muscles out of strength. Quite the opposite. The forces of 400 years of white supremacy culture are like a wounded bear right now — lashing out and extremely dangerous because its proponents know they are a seriously endangered species.

Is it any wonder that things have gotten so much crazier since Nov. 8, the date of the midterm elections? That was the day that the folks I dubbed in a recent column as “the Biden coalition” — college students who lined up hours to vote, suburban college grads who cared more about democracy than inflation, Black and brown voters who see the racism that still lurks behind the GOP’s pitch to the working class — held together to give Democrats the upper hand in the 2022 midterms. It’s that stunning defeat that’s making the far-right so batty, from the inner sanctum of Mar-a-Lago to Gate D10 at Sea-Tac.

Given it's the first day of pride month I'm reminded of something completely unrelated

Almost two and a half years ago I started getting into Psychonauts, ala @comet-wire , and I suggested playing tic tac toe on the scientists forehead.

As for whatever reason, Sasha Nein has a forehead the size of a football field.

Comet obliged, and so now I will show you the results (I was the green X's, Comet was the pink O's)

Starting off with the board, I believe thanks to Comet.

I made my first move.

Comet makes their first move.

My second move. The Sussy Baka thing is a reference to this post. (Courtesy of a reblog.)

Their second move. "Peepee," they said.

My third move. "Spill the tea", I said in reply. Mind you again this was early 2022, not that it really matters. Outdated internet reference my ass.

Their third move. A suspicious crewmate appeared.

My fourth move. I say "Sussus Amongus", a meme'd version of the Biggus Dickus joke from Monty Python, Life of Brian. I also added a halo to the crewmate, signifying its passing on.

Their fourth, and final move. A crewmate replaced the O's. And Sasha is threatened by a crewmate.

I did not do my final turn, as apparently my head is full of sand.

Note here too that the Sussy Baka and Biggus Dickus references both have links.

[sparkiekong]

going back through and tagging all of my tac characters by names... I see some improvement over time... I'm up to feb 2022 with character tags... still need to go from feb 2022 to present.

I will get it all properly tagged eventually... I'm still a disorganized mess, much like IRL... but at least you can look by name and see if you missed anything.

I can't promise I got absolutely all of them. They start running together after about an hour of it... but I'm working on it.
