#the hidden almanac

[chiropteracupola]

It was on this day in 1745 that a small gray lamb was born to a ewe on a hillside some miles from the town of Gant. This is of no significance to anyone but the lamb and the ewe and the shepherd, but history is made no less of small things that go on around the edges than it is of kings and battles and heresies.

#em draws stuff #the flight of the heron #ewen cameron #the hidden almanac #[I've linked the episode that I quote here and I do particularly recommend that one as well as the podcast as a whole] #it's like if wtnv was primarily about invented saints and gardening and also all the episodes are about 4 minutes long which is nice #and I was listening the other day and got to this bit and was immediately stricken with Heron Thoughts. so you see. #lately I have been looking at other people who work in autodesk and trying to figure out new things to do with the program #so the coloring here is a bit of a style study of tumblr user elena-illustration [whose work you should also check out]

Redacted: As long as I keep licking these horrible inedible fruits, I'll be safe from the mind control. Wow, there's a phrase I didn't expect to have to utter twice in one lifetime.

The Narrator: I beg your pardon?

Redacted: College was wild.

Listening to the Hidden Almanac again and I'm so sad it's all done if only because I would love to hear Reverend Mord's "In the garden..." segment about that fungus in What Moves The Dead.

Insomnia poll!

(Insomnia because I usually fall asleep relistening to the Hidden Almanac, but tonight/this morning it wasn't happening.)

Drom, in her bunker (feat. a jar of olives and a conversation).

Having spent the last week or so (very) late and very alone in the lab, and listening to the Hidden Almanac, I remembered that I wrote a fic for it! Four years ago-I had just finished up my bachelors. Now I'm almost at the end of my graduate degree, and I find myself coming back to the same podcasts...it is still just as soothing and entrancing as ever!

hello hello

Haven't posted here in, uh, forever, but I have a plan. Sorta. Mostly just documenting the stuff I've been playing/reading/listening to because why the hell not. Also made an excel sheet for this because I'm crazy and bored and we'll see how long this lasts for.

Just finished listening to all of The Hidden Almanac, which was amazing and I loved every bit of it. Highly recommend it, and while it looks daunting at first (and okay, it kind of is), each episode is about 5 minutes long. Granted, the entire show lasted 6 years and posted 3 times a week, so it's a lot to get through. May have taken me a few months, haha. But it's so charming and I really could have just kept listening on and on about Mord and Drom's (and George's!) adventures.

if i had a printer i would be unstoppable

#as it is i am crumpled at the bottom of this mountain #sisyphus may be happy but i am not #i just want to print out all these little ideas and turn them into a little Quilt Ideas book #and i could print all the other little books i have half done #i starts a compilation of the magnus archive statements #and one of the feast days from the hidden almanac #and i wouldn’t mind having my own fics printed #but i was really envisioning this quilt idea #but i am three hours of work in and three failed attempts #and copying out inages using the phone is hell #because if you breath on it the screen reacts #and i am too scared to do it on the laptop screen anymore #but it would have been so cool #i have another idea for a mini book but at least i can do that by hand #because i might as well waste all my time right #stupidly upset about this #but it’s probably cumulative upsetness because i have been having a day week month idek #anyway in another life i have a little book of quilt ideas #and i am making little quilts #but for now i have my prompts tag #anyway okay bai i should. do anything else. #oh wow okay #this has been a rant #randomness

i know it's just the time of day making everything much funnier but you really don't get this shit anywhere else. not even night vale with all its wackiness but i think it has to do with cecil being just as weird/involved/believing as the rest of the town whereas mord just flatly calls out (most) weirdass bullshit for what it is. he's not a ghost skeptic yknow but he is a ghost practical if that makes sense. ANYWAY the exchange "anyway, all turkeys look the same" with drom's *immediate* muttered "bigot" made me crack up.

#hidden almanac #mord's monotone no-bullshit dry voice does wonders for humor it really does. and it contrasts excellently with everyone else #taking things very seriously (like a turkey attempting to mate with a voting booth being accused of intentional voter fraud) #(for an election regarding a chicken (just the bird. it can't even talk like a human))

[kadharononart]

time for another dump of old art, The Hidden Almanac style.

The Madonna of the Leaves, Reverend Mord's usual way of ending the show, and two covers for some of Pastor Drom's, uh, erotic self-help novels, which almost certainly need the mature label.

I feel like story of seasons is better played by sleeping through years 2 and 3. like tf.

#or like the game would be improved if the seasons were all 10 days shorter #i guess the point is for incentives to keep playing but that would be better if 1) the goalposts werent hidden #and 2) the game was a little more engaging after completing the major story points #or like if the story was more spread out etc #i especially wish the almanac and everything were in the pause menu and not hidden on the bookshelf

Lenten rose (hellebore). Lenten roses symbolize serenity, tranquility and peace.

#Station23 - Jan 2 - The Arboretum

The "top" level of the main hull is a single enormous room under a transparent dome. It is filled with plants--grasses, shrubs, and trees from dozens of planets near and far, including some that are otherwise unknown to Federation science. The plants are also habitat for a variety of small animals, mostly things a human would identify as a "bird" or "insect".

The entire system is carefully kept in equilibrium through the tireless efforts of the groundskeeper, a strange little being of unknown species who gives their name as "Volle". Volle looks like a one-meter plague doctor, but it is unknown how much of their appearance is costume versus anatomy. Volle doesn't generally interact with visitors, unless they are damaging a plant, harassing an animal, or about to get too close to something that won't interact well with their biology. (How Volle knows, even when the medical division doesn't, in unknown. But Volle has not been observed to be wrong so far.)

The terrain of the Arboretum is gentle rolling hills, with paths and benches of what appears to be natural stone (again from dozens of worlds--some with exotic fossils included). The only obvious construction to be found, aside form the center where the station's central column passes through toward Ops, is the Steer and Span (see Jan 3).

#yes obviously Volle sounds like Reverend Mord from the Hidden Almanac #dungeon23 #station23 #argyle station
