This is a slow fandom zone

None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"

Slow down

Take a deep breath and slow down

Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us

You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday

If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about

Let's be deranged about stories together

Pathologic (Мор. Утопия) Main Menu Theme Song - Piano Cover by Thanathicca

Wearing three layers in 25°C weather was not ideal, neither is not having played the piano seriously for years xD but playing this was fun, cause this song is a banger~ enjoy :D

Sekawan Limo (2024) ("Four Out of Five")

Five people travel together up Mt. Madyopuro, despite the local superstitions warning them not to go in a group of five. Now, they have to contend with not just the ghosts of their past, but also the fact that one of them is definitely a ghost...

good movie. it's not groundbreaking, sure, but it was fun and delivered the themes it sought to deliver. a solid comedy-horror-drama. just doodled the main characters to get down their features, might redraw the poster or a scene sometime.

an imperare sibi maximum imperium est comic

Drew this rough but emotional comic in September 2023... this would have happened in a vague future moment after the plague was over. The way Dankovsky was drawn is definitely different from how he's drawn now, such as here. Burakh is also drawn differently here, but this comic is the final look.

For those who don't know, imperare sibi maximum imperium est (ISMIE for short) is a 22nd century Thanatica AU posted on AO3, where Dankovsky became the first person to successfully undergo a mind-upload, and Burakh works in Thanatica with him. She's also a trans woman in this one - Chapter 9, she calls herself "Artemis" as a temporary name.

Feel free to guess what they're saying :)

What's special about Humans in this setting? (1d12)

They're the ugly ones that nothing finds attractive. All half-anythings in this setting assume goblins as the baseline, as there is no such thing as a half human.

They don't exist. Sometimes a hideous child will be born tall, chunky, with round ears, no fangs, no claws, non-refractive eyes, and hair only in stupid places that make no sense. The word for such children (hoomun) is ancient draconic for "ugly and unloved." Half-anythings are just kinda ugly by their race's standards.

They decended from the various ugly weaklings with no powers who arrived in this realm after being killed by monsters called "buses" in their home realm. First generation humans are ugly and stupid, completely unaware of anything at all. The third generation at least learn to smile and nod.

Halfings with giantism, prone to dying by heart-related complications after 30-40 years.

Goblins with giantism, prone to dying by heart-related complications after 30-30 years.

Ogres with dwarfism. Sure explains their looks, don't it?

Technically decended from the First People, the common ancesters of all peoples. Unfortunately, they are the direct lineage from the First People who were obsessed with "racial purity" and became modern, ugly, and stupid Humans, who famously have no powers or abilities and suck at everything.

They were made by mindflayers to create a helpless race of dumb idiots who still think and observe enough that they have something like a flavor, like a big mac for brain eaters.

They were the gods second OCs, created after their various demons and dragons and monsters were called Mary Sues. In response, they over-corrected by making a series of bland, boring losers with no powers and no personality traits that are still somehow the chosen ones in every prophecy.

They are the gods personal Blorbos, echoes taken from inspiring individuals across a million universes, stripped of everything that made the originals interesting and placed in the world as the gods pathetic wet meow-meows to gush over, despite the lack of anything appealing about them.

If any other race eats too much vanilla while pregnant, the resulting children morph into underwhelming and hideous monsters- humans.

Humans have mastered the evolutionary niche in fantasy society that no other race would dare touch, as Humans are the gods perfect interns.

the second worst thing about the recent surge (no pun intended) in robotgirl posting is that I'm a reverse engineer, and an asexual one at that. if I met a robotgirl we wouldn't have weird sex, I'd open up all her panels and take pictures of her PCBs and figure out what all the chips are and dump her EEPROMs and hard drive image and upload this to archive.org

curious to hear y'all's suggestions for the worst possible pasta shape

(Assume that "pasta" needs to be made of sheets or strands of dough with enough surface area relative to thickness so that they can be cooked.)
