#a short one this time

Dincember 2023 - Day 14: Home

There’s a cabin in the flats on Nevarro. It sits in front of a pond and a single tree. It doesn’t look like much, its build old and left unpainted, but there’s windows on every wall and a large door to let the sunlight in during the day and keep the chilly air out at night. On the porch, a single chair. It looks new, and maybe one day, there will be a second one.

In the vestibule, a pair of boots. The soles bear a weariness only earned from many long travels. It’s the only pair of shoes in the house, and it doesn’t get to sit there very often. Right above it, a tiny brown coat hangs on a hook, barely big enough for a baby to wear. The carpet is dusty. A bit of gravel sticks between the fibers.

On the left, a kitchen. It is too cramped to be practical, but the oven cooks fine and the sink gives fresh water. A table is lodged in the corner of the room between two windows. There’s a fruit bowl on it. It shouldn’t stay there, the sun will make the fruits spoil. An empty plate lays abandoned since yesterday on the counter, next to the caf pot. One of the cupboards doesn’t close entirely, which makes it a little bit too easy to snatch a midnight snack.

The living room is tidy. It’s rarely used. A black blanket is draped over the boxy couch. On the low table, a datapad and a toy spaceship. The holoprojector is currently closed. It was used last night to watch a movie. If you look closely, you can find crumbs of cookies and rogue cereals in between the couch’s cushions.

The refresher is uninteresting. A razor safely stored out of reach, few skin creams, two toothbrushes in a glass on the sink. The shower is a real water shower, and it still feels like luxury to use it every morning. The towels in the cabinet are a soft shade of blue. A load of clothes have been forgotten in the washing machine, and will need a second wash to get rid of the smell of humidity. Oops.

In the first bedroom, there isn’t much to see. Of course, since it’s still dark in here. The gray curtains are still drawn, they almost always are. Nothing is out of place. An impressive set of armor rests on a stand against the furthest wall. On the nightstand, a blaster. On the wardrobe, a few other weapons. The bed is usually made square and flawless, but it’s still occupied at the moment. Its occupant snores. In a few minutes, the alarm clock will beep, and a new day will start at the Mudhorn cabin. Still a few more minutes left, though.

The second room is smaller, but more lively. It belongs to a child, without a doubt. The bed is more of a crib. The carpet in the middle is soft and littered with toys. On the empty toybox is a pile of tiny folded clothes chosen in advance for the day ahead. One of them is a red sweater. The sleeves seem hand-sewed. A child sleeps soundly in the crib, hugging a crooked bantha plush tight.

It’s not a big house. Not exactly a pretty one, either. But like a stone farmhouse once was, then a covert, then a Razor Crest, it’s home.

Moon 75, part one

Shimmerpaw looked up, horrified.

Birdseye looked down at her. The orange flecked molly came down from the log.

"Your name will be Shimmerclaw. Alright I'm done."

That wasn't even a proper naming ceremony?? Shimmerclaw didn't like her name!

Birdseye gave a judgemental glare at Shimmerclaw. The gray molly lowered her head, there was simply nothing she could do about this.

She didn't feel like a winner.

@prplhawk liked for a starter

"So, what is it? You said you had a plan." Or could the plan be just kind of an idea and not an actual plan? That would not surprise Francis, he did stuff like that himself, but he'd roll with it either way.

Asleep

The dragoness glimmers in the light that sneaks in through the curtains, her copper scales casting the streetlight into constellations across the walls that dance with the soft rise and fall of her chest. The verdigris tips of her fluff and feathers are splayed across the mattress, not that it can be seen beneath the carpet of plushes that surround her curled body as she sleeps.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

“long hair on guys doesn’t make them less masculine. think keanu reeves, jason momoa, danny trejo, or the guy at your local dive bar who rides a motorcycle”

*the crowd nods*

“so long hair doesn’t necessarily determine masculinity”

*the crowd, more hesitant, still nodding*

“butches can have long hair—“

*GUNSHOT*

#the tedtalk i would give if i could #if i see ‘they’re not butch because they have long hair’ one more time i will flip a table #frustrating frustrating frustrating #also this is NOT in any way a knock on my short haired butches ily #op #bestof

good games i've played on itchio lately:

please tell me you love me - chat with your guild members for the last time before the game's servers are shut down

GIRLKILLER (covet) - there is a girl who looks like you, and today you're going to kill her

cover me in leaves - stuck in your small hometown, you get your first tattoo. and then a few more, and more, and more

don't rock the boat - play through the different perspectives of a women's crew team as they are stalked by something in the water

GUTLESS - you are the captain of a deep sea vessel. your mission doesn't go well

so, about last night... - you wake up sick and weirdly hungry after hooking up with someone at a party. you spend the next night trying to find her.

close the window, my love - short bitsy poem about closing the window. sound on! this creator has a lot of short bitsy works i recommend.

there is a beautiful star - just a short, cute side scroller. lots of short, lighthearted games from them, definitely recommend for a mood booster.

#these are all p short except for so about last night gutless and rock the boat #still not super long tho #these are all on my itch page too but whatever lmfao #also cringe i feel so awkward writing descriptions but i dont really have a lot to say personally #except. Good Game 👍 #also sorry recommending gutless a second time sue me #i think girlkiller is my favorite atm... i like the ambiguity in that one and two different endings #games

To the point giving up just sounds so sweet right now.

I got nothing, and no one worth it. I feel sick in a way I can't explain, bizarrely like being cursed in the blood. Two bloodlines full of nothing good, ones better to die out. On top of useless blood I've got nothing of value to me. My cousins are becoming officers and detectives, I'm a friendless loser still shut at home. Too scared of the world to face it, too proud of nothing to ask for help.

I suppose I'm worse than nothing, I'm a waste.

#my rot #poetry #poem #a short one this time #my mom has been getting unbearable lately #my mom guilt trips me #she turned the radio up until it screeched #knowing i have sensory issues #bc i didn't wanna talk in the car #i think she weaponized my autism #idk i guess #i wanna move out so badly #i wanna go no contact #my whole fam sucks #except for like 2 ppl #my cousins are doing cool stuff #and i just...kinda suck #im a loser #i got 0 friends #im just..bad at life honestly #im not superstitious #but i believe im cursed

for anyone who doesn't have the Return YouTube Dislike Plugin, here's how Watcher Entertainment's "Goodbye Youtube" video is doing right now

yeah... gonna throw out a yikes on that one

i suspect this number will only keep growing in the coming days/weeks, especially the longer and longer we go without any sort of response.

EDIT: its only been three hours and the number has already jumped to 206K dislikes.

#the fucking balls to link to their merch store on the announcement video too #as a long time fan i'm very disappointed #i get that creatives want to and SHOULD be paid fairly for their work. #hell my dad got laid off by MF DISNEY for wanting to be paid a fair wage for the work he was doing #but we're not talking about the billion dollar mega-corporation Disney here #we're talking about a company that by *all respects* should be able to sustain itself off of Youtube Ads & Patreon & Merch & Live Shows- #WITHOUT blowing 100K on flying 6 people out to haunted houses or paying 20 people to make and produce ONE lets play video #in short: Watcher... get your shit together. #watcher entertainment #we are watcher #watcher #shane medej #ryan bergara #steven lim

Later...

(Shimo is a prankster)

Ghidorah every time Godzilla gets a new enemy.

True frienemies right there!

I was going to make a Godzilla animatic of this exact scene but discarded the idea later (wasn't sure whether we were allowed to use the audio without getting a copyright strike idk)

I LOVE the Mickey Mouse Shorts lol

#godzilla #godzilla x kong: the new empire #king ghidorah #mickey mouse shorts #godzilla king of the monsters #godzilla and ghidorah are the very definition of frienemies #i literally headcanon them as enemies (rivals to be exact) but also like cool friends if they aren't fighting #Ghidorah wants all that attention for himself #he's the only one who can bully Godziila and no one else! #I'd like to think Ghidorah will help Godzilla fight his other enemies cos Godzilla is not allowed to have other enemies except for him #tldr Ghidorah has a hard time admitting that Godzilla is his (friend-ish) rival #hehe ghidorah redemption arc hehe #do not repost #my art
