An excerpt from Gwendoline Townsends diary, 1931

Dear Diary,

Benjamin has given us a camera for Christmas! It’s remarkable how cheap the things are these days; back when I was younger we would have to sit for hours and shell out quite a bit of money for a portrait. Now we can just snap a photo as fast as we can blink! I do wish I was wearing nicer clothes in this photograph however...but my housework these days calls for practicality rather than style.

Later, we posed the girls as well and took their first portrait. Ginny sat just fine and was perfectly patient for her father. But it seems like Maggie doesn't like to sit still for more than a minute these days. Really, I’m not ashamed to admit that I've started counting down the days until they can attend school.

In other news of Benjamin, the man has gotten married! Her name is Theresa, a sweet young girl from town. Sam demanded the two come over so that he could take informal, and very amateur, wedding photographs. Isn’t Mrs. Zimmerman a doll?

I do wonder how that chatterbox managed to woo shy little Theresa, but I suppose opposites attract. And I’m glad to have another woman down the road from us. I was getting quite tired of walking five miles to the village just to socialize.

A certain feline has been taking up quite a bit of our film. Sometimes I think Sam loves that cat more than anything else in the world. Though I don’t blame him. Pockets may be an aloof old cat, but I suspect he’s even warmed up to me. He’s getting along in age though, and we’ll all be sad when he’s gone. Perhaps then I’ll get the girls a dog.

Sincerely,

Gwendoline

People be drawing Luke with pale skin, light blonde hair, rock hard abs, and pink nipples. That’s when I gotta pull out the:

That boy is TAN. DIRTIEST BLONDE YOUVE EVER SEEN. SOFT AND SQUISHY (a little defined, but really shows when flexed). AND NIPPLES BROWN ASF. Take notes Luke fans.

#I know they dyed Mark’s hair for Luke #and his blondeness has always been exaggerated to hell and back #so I get it #but if you’re going for realism/accuracy #he definitely leans more brown #ESPECIALLY in rotj #(though I think blonde suits him best)#luke skywalker #star wars #mark hamill

I LIVE BITCHEEESSSSS

here’s a goofy style comparison I did to try and get back in the swing of drawing :> only issue is I already try to draw em pretty close to the comics/show, so my closest imitation of Steve’s style ended up looking very similar to how I already draw them lmao. So to make up for it, I made a fucked up version too!

Also I’m thinking of streaming later tonight (10/18/23)! I’ll put details in another post but yeah if anyone wants to stop by I’d be delighted to have you :D

#also I’m not trying to brag and say I can copy Steve’s style perfectly or something hdkhsjf #I just mean I’m already trying to most of the time so there’s not much of a difference. if that makes any sense hhhdjdhd #poor max. he is not having fun in stylized realism hell world lmaooooooo #sam and max #sam and max freelance police #freelance husbands #my art #style comparison

You've gone to hell, and it's not like, super terrible. It's not as nice as the big afterlives like heaven or nirvana or even hades, but it's not like horrible or anything. Satan really wanted this to be a cool place for sinners to hang out, he's clearly trying his best, he just doesn't have the same budget to work with.

You get to hang out with a lot of neat people down here. Your roommate when you first get an apartment in hell is a girl who died medieval Venice. Apparently she spent a lot of time dressed as a man and may have drowned a priest because of a girl they were mutually trying to seduce. She knows a lot of the best places to hang out in hell, which is basically just one giant city at this point because there's not that much space in any given afterlife and there are a lot of people here.

There are some truly terrible people down here. You met someone who made a living selling fake cures for syphilis. And you nearly got into a fist fight with a crusader whose down here for consuming human meat. But generally most sinners you meet are chill people who just sort of had nowhere else to go.

Not much happens in hell. Occasionally the demons give people activities, but for the most part you're just on your own. But that makes it kind of chill, nobody eats or sleeps or has sex or anything, you just kind of hang out and talk, and watch a lot of movies and read books. Nobody has to work, sometimes you create art because you have the time but that's not the same as a job.

Its fun swapping stories with people from the past. Everyone understands eachothers languages for whatever reason, so you can talk to eachother without an issue. You feel so connected to human history, there are so many people down here with interesting lives.

Occasionally you'll meet someone historically famous, like Joan of Arc, Thomas Jefferson, and Steve Jobs all live down here and you might just run into them. And you find that cool. You saw HP Lovecraft crying on the side of the street near your apartment, you think he just does that sometimes.

Generally hell just feels chill. It feels like you should be more passionate about being down here. You didn't die for a very happy reason. You're happy that you get to relax now. Even if it isn't heaven.

Why? Because let’s be honest, there’s no ethical way to becoming a billionaire.

It’s not like people’s being cynical or jealous about their billions. No. It has nothing to do with that. The truth is that more often than not, those shitloads of money came from the worst and most evil sources one could ever imagine.

Billionaires are basically the ones behind all the worldwide networks of traffic and dark shit, one way or another. They’re the ones behind disparities and poverty, unemployment, poor life quality, hunger and sickness. They’re the ones behind wars and shitty economy models, deforestation, animal cruelty and extinction, global warming.. they’re the ones behind innocent beings’ deaths.

And still, they’ve got the fucking nerve to casually spend 250,000 USD on a totally unnecessary, touristic trip to a mass grave (courtesy of their already wealthy, evil ancestors, of course) at the bottom of the ocean.

Anyone who ever dares to spend such amount of money for a few hours long trip, knowing that the world is going down, is not a honest nor a valuable human being. Period.

So yes, the less people like them, the better. The earth does need to heal. And no, I cannot stand those who still defend the planet’s greatest poison. They evidently don’t have a single ounce of self reflection.

capitalism ruined the meaning of life by brainwashing people into thinking life has any meaning at all

we are born to live, as is everything on this planet and everything on every other planet, the planets themselves were formed purely to exist, because they have the capability to exist in this universe, no other reason.

Plants do not exist to give us oxygen or food or any resources at all, they exist because theyre meant to, they thrive in earths soil and grow purely because the environment allows it to, a seeds only purpose is to grow, and after that the only purpose is to live. the resources from plants are there to aid nature in its growth, to aid the lives of everything naturally on this earth. the same with animals, and the same can be applied to humans.

generosity is the only thing we need to survive, what one person lacks another has spare, a task one person cannot perform another can. we should all aim to give people as many useful things to them as we can, memories, resources, time.

money is a meaningless concept corrupted by greed and neglectful of compassion.

memories cannot be escaped, the one thing we will have for the (majority) of our lives, memories unite all of us, people, animals, plants. memories have no language, they exist within every sense and exist within the lack of senses. history is a mandatory subject based purely on memories and keeping memories alive. memories have more meaning than money ever will.

a million pounds makes you rich in greed.

a million memories makes you rich in experiences, in knowledge and in life.

we exist to live, and we remember the ones that have lived before us, and we will continue to remember the lives of others because the meaning of life is to live it, remember it and keep those memories alive.

fav thing about modern day dd comics and the show: both still operate as if Hell’s Kitchen remains to be the organized crime hellscape-of-a-place-to-live-in neighborhood of the 1960s. like hate to break it to you but baby it’s gentrified now. mr murdock doesn’t have anything to fight other than like bird scooters and overpriced coffee shops tbh

#comics aren’t going for realism Ik I’m just a snob who thinks it’s funny #ada.txt #dd #daredevil posting #okay reasonably the show exists in the post avengers universe where the city was almost destroyed #and the comics are just like that I mean can I blame them #Stan Lee in 1964: he’s a blind lawyer in one of the worst neighborhoods! he fights organized crime with his ninja skills!#present day dd: look dude I’m literally j beating up people for rent money it’s so goddamn expensive here nowadays #this doesn’t make sense oopsie #matt murdock #daredevil #daredevil comics #netflix daredevil #she hulk #karen page #foggy nelson #hells kitchen #elektra natchios #mattfoggy

Honestly the Dawnguard questline is cool but it sucks big time when you use realistic needs mod because you frequently have to travel from one end of the map to the other.

Let's just recap the questline when you're following the vampire hunter path (ie not taking Harkon's vampirism gift). Dayspring Canyon, on the southeast edge of the map, near Riften. Then you go to Dimhollow, north-northwest of Whiterun. Escort Serana to Castle Volkihar on the northwest edge of the map in the middle of the sea. Travel all the way back to the complete opposite end of the map, back to Dayspring.

Fetch Gunmar and Sorine. Gunmar's location is randomized, but Sorine is always at that small Dwemer ruin in The Reach region, west of Dragon Bridge. Go all the way back to Dayspring Canyon. Meet Serana again. Oh what's that, time to find the moth priest Dexion to read an Elder Scroll. Guess where the moth priest is? BACK TO DRAGON BRIDGE.

Meet Dexion back at Fort Dawnguard. Serana suggests her mom has another Elder Scroll. Where could she be, I wonder? IN THE DAMN CASTLE VOLKIHAR.

And that's just the first half of the questline. Not counting the time you will spend in Soul Cairn and Forgotten Vale. Like, gods, if this game was realistic I think the Dragonborn would need both legs transplant from all that walking after Harkon is dead.

#skyrim #dawnguard #i love this game but fucking hell the realism aspect would be nuts. fortunately it's fantasy but still

Chatting and rping with @turtwap and she had this awesome head-canon about her OC Sky having to fight Vic/Helldroid. In the horror verse au I’m working on, GHOST constantly upgrade his cybernetic body, to make it easier for the scientist to work/research/collect data out in the field, where it’s extremely dangerous being around the Plagued transformers - however, sometimes their performance enhancing drugs send Victor feral - That’s where his friend Sky comes in - And I’m guessing this is the face she’d be greeted with 😂
