“Somehow life came down to feeling like a ghost. If it is possible for the ghost to be exhausted, the ghost is exhausted. The shadow is exhausted. And when a shadow is exhausted it is like a star exhausted. It implodes.”

— Michael Burkard, from My Secret Boat: A Notebook of Prose and Poems (W. W. Norton & Co., 1990)

making six comedians answer exam questions instead of letting their characters do it is the funniest thing brennan has ever done the panic in their eyes is so real

#t: dimension 20 #t: fantasy high #this is extra funny bc of the short rest last week where naddpod discussed school stress dreams #the stress in murph in particular was so palpable this episode but truly reached new heights of horror when the exam questions entered #the game

you'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.

if you wanna listen to naddpod you should know this about the hosts: brian murphy is a straightman to his inner most core and he's the funniest person alive, these things exist simultaneously and would not exist without the other. emily axford is clinically insane to a point where it's easier to not try to follow her logic when she says things. jake hurwitz is a certified cool guy but he's the biggest loser in a room of nerds playing dungeons and dragons. caldwell tanner can only be described as exactly what a 1930's cartoon describes as a rascal. three of them are a throuple and the fourth is their boss.

I've been deeply art-blocked for a while now, but I really miss Beauyasha. I sketched this after the live show in November and now managed to (somewhat) properly draw it. They're in love your honor, always.

1: *covered in blood* i will.... *trembling* CHOOSE TO BE KIND... *in pain* i will be... NICE to others... *wanting to kill* i will see good in EVERYONE *yielding a knife* i will NOT be like those who hurt me... *screaming* i will be BETTER then who i was..."

2: "My lonely girl // MY angry girl // My brave // I love you, my strange girl".

3: "For many species of large animals in the twenty-first century, the single most important determinant of survival is whether their existence is useful to humans. But if you can't be of utility to people, the second best thing you can be is cute. You need an expressive face, ideally some large eyes. Your babies need to remind us of our babies. Something about you must make us feel guilty for eliminating you from the planet."

4: "My soul has been so fearful, so violent: forgive its brutality."

5: "only place for my heart is the very next step // only place for my hands is holding to the ground around me // i was lost from my body worse than i thought // now i love her more than ever, yeah she's all that i've got".

6: "As you lay dying I asked, What if your biggest regret? // Every kindness withheld, you said. // Every flicker of pleasure denied, you said. // Look, you said, sunlight."

7: "story magic is scared of her and the god of evil death and chaos wants to put her in a jar".

8: "But it's an exceptionally minor vice, and for whatever reason, I've always felt like I need a vice. I don't know whether this feeling is universal, but I have some way-down vibrating part of my subconscious that needs to self-destruct, at least a little bit."

9: "I said, somebody somewhere // will find what's left // Oh yeah // And we'll become a myth, man, // oh man".

10: "characters with prey animal rage // characters with both the abject terror and murderous desperation of an animal that knows it is cornered and destined to be eaten. you just can't get that kind of angst out a successful hunter. but alternatively i posit: predator animal fear. which is a totally different thing". /end ID]
