new song:)

Have you ever felt like time is passing you by?

Not in the way that people sometimes talk about it. Not slowly, unnoticeably until it's too late. Not like sand dripping down an hourglass.

But quickly! Painfully?

This is an original song titled

"GLASS"

Trans ppl are similar to Eldritch horrors in the idea that we can shape shift and cause panic among those who practice Catholic/Christian faith on the constant

Jesus can't protect you from us or our growing numbers. God can only watch. With every dose of HRT, our power grows.

Dear anti-endos: We are among you

Right now, there are endogenic systems everywhere. There are people who are plural without trauma everywhere you look. And the same way that you can mask and people in your life won't recognize you as a system, you won't recognize us either.

We can be your friends. Your neighbors. The people you pass in the grocery store. We could be your family members.

And you. Would. Never. Know.

We are real. We are out there. And you have probably already seen hundreds of us in passing in your lifetime without ever knowing it.

And yes, I'm writing these truths to make you feel paranoid. I'm taking that irrational hatred and fear you have of the "other" and using it against you. And I can rest easy knowing that you deserve it because this knowledge, that there's a marginalized community who you can't recognize by looking at them, wouldn't bother a single decent person.

Anyone who wasn't bigoted would just nod and go "okay, yeah, that checks out."

But for those whose hearts are corrupted by hate and fear of a marginalized group, I expect reading this to be deeply upsetting.

And I want you to ponder, as you drift to sleep tonight, who all you know that might be an endo beneath their facade of singlethood. Could your teacher be a tulpamancer? Could your sister be a soulbonder? For that matter, how many of your online friends in traumagenic spaces are mixed origin and hiding their partially-endogenic origins so they can have access to resources for their disorder?

Remember that we are endogenic plurals and We Are Legion. We are everywhere and we can be anyone.

There is no escape from us! There is no hiding from us!

uses the royal "we" sometimes just to freak out the transphobes who think I use they/them because I'm possessed by demons

i love when there's a post on my dash with a bunch of notes and it's being reblogged by non-fandom blogs and i see the OP and they're a tlt blog. no one on this site is safe from the long arms of the locked tomb

Moderators and server owners are people, too. Sometimes they have bad days. Sometimes they make mistakes.

And sometimes? Sometimes they are emotionally manipulative, toxic, cliquish assholes who use their self-appointed authority to treat other people like trash.

Y'all, NO space, fandom or otherwise, event-centric or not, is worth your mental and emotional well-being. Mods have a duty to lead by example, to treat others respectfully and kindly... whether in public or in DMs.

People are people. And sometimes, people are shit.

Take care of yourself.

Be kind to yourself.

Even if it hurts to leave, in the long run, you'll feel better for it.

Hi Legion, I'm Dad

Hi Legion, I'm Dad, Flat Spats Games, 2018

The phrase that goes before the title is "We Are Legion", in case you didn't guess it right away.

Hi Legion, I'm Dad (HLID) is a tongue-in-cheek game following a bowling team full of suburban dads as they face a demonic invasion. Well, "face" isn't the right word. It's going to be more "run from" for the majority of the game. The whole thing is about 64 pages of 6"x9" format, which is probably more than it needs but it works just fine.

Characters in HLID are fairly simple. You have only skills, no core attributes. These include Defensive Driving, Workout, Household Maintenance, Man Scout, and of course, Bowling. Bowling is your standard attack skill. There are some not-quite-skills like "I got a cousin knows this guy..." that get rolled just like everything else. The game uses d12s because they roll the farthest, like a bowling ball. (d12 mechanics are my pet peeve. It's not great for anything. It's exactly wrong. It does not "need more love." Let it go.) Rolling a 1 or a 12 has an extra effect, so you're going to be seeing those a lot. That plays into the expected zany antics.

The art is cartoonish but really nails the expressions on the characters' faces. There are five men on the team, and you really get a feel for their emotional makeup. There's the smooth one, the nerd who got dragged there, the wholesome friendly guy who dragged him there, the guy who might be in the mafia, and the guy who works out a little too much. There's a good spread of ethnicities depicted, and one of them is even trans, which is cool.

The game definitely knows its target audience (i.e. these kinds of dads and their kids). Every header in the book is a dad joke or pun of some kind. Some of them you don't get for quite a while. You just think "Oh, huh, a normal-named ability" or "I have no idea why it's called that" and then 4 sessions in you hang your head in shame. Well done, Flat Spats. Well done.

The game includes a sample scenario, It Didn't Just Get Up And Walk Away, a zombie-survival-type adventure in which demons possess bodies and you have to defend yourselves from them until you can rescue the magical extra-glittery bowling ball from the ball return and send them back to hell. The NPCs feel like they could be in Army of Darkness. There are a ton more NPCs than the scenario needs, as well as a d100 list of potential adventure seeds. The authors would really like you to roll that with an actual d100. You know, like a bowling ball.

It's kind of rare that you get a game that's funny when you read it and funny when you play it. Sometimes the book did all the jokes for you and there's nothing left for you to actually contribute. HLID feels like it could be both. The well of dad humor runs deep. Well, it doesn't run at all really. Oh, well.

They actually tried to sell this game at bowling alleys. Since no one buys a book at a bowling alley, and also COVID happened, it didn't really sell well. Most copies got returned, which means they got pulped. Somewhere, though, you just know there's a dad using a well-worn copy of this book as his "office reader" and chuckling at it every day.

fanart for a @daniel-profeta song, "today i forgot to keep myself alive."

needed something to keep myself busy today with a wind chill of -25 outside shutting down work and class for me, so i drew this. i had so much fun drawing and remixing the different bits of iconography from this cryptic-as-hell video (and adding my own). 90% of my art anyway is just drawing a bunch of random little shit in a cluster so this was perfect.

The "former academic who became too disabled to continue their graduate studies-to-anarchist organizing" pipeline is perhaps unsurprisingly robust

Obligatory announcement post: I have a new channel specifically for music now. All my old releases are going to be moving within the next few weeks. GO WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEOS IMMEDIATELY.

New channel here.

In addition, I'm going to be playing at Fools Fest 2024 with an incredible line up of artists. If you live in Georgia, or want to travel a million miles, check out the link here.

Message me here or on instagram if you need more details!!

You should be allowed in the bookshop. All this Bentley did was win Le Mans, and it got its own party in a hotel. You burst into flames and blew up…

Wait a moment…was that me? Or did I take Aziraphale to Scotland? I'm so confused now!!!!

And those people should look happier. Why doesn't anyone in the '20s look happy?

THIS BENTLEY GOT A WHOLE DINNER PARTY

@theangel-aziraphale look at this. Please.

Gwenpoll is one of us! 😍😍😂😂

Pd: I don't know anything about her

Those attacking AO3 don't understand that we using it are readers, writers and artists. Our patience is infinite.

We're the people who've read 100k slow burn fiction. Who have folders full of WIPs. Who dare to stare at blank pages for hours!!

AO3 is down?? So we'll wait!! Pff.
