New ep of Herpetology of the Apocalypse is up: as promised, we did big sections on alchemy (historical) and alchemy (the type of merge game). Much dot-connecting, such wow. Plus Wandering Vagabond becoming Mayor of Can Town, TaB, and the Word That Shall Not Be Said. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWG8...

Done some. Their legs bend backwards, they have antlers, they're tall. All of this is fine. It's the fact that they don't get that our universe isn't their science lab is the creepy part.
V C Morrison@sparkcrusher.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's not human. Its smile is a little too wide. Its eyes blink sideways.

Its voice isn't audible but you hear a scratching at the back of your mind when it opens its mouth.
Ray has been threatening to make butterscotch spam cookies for a while...for Halloween. Her patience JUST RAN OUT. www.youtube.com/shorts/ZVGva...

New episode of Herpetology of the Apocalypse is up! This week Ray and De got into songs, mannequins, and harmoniums—and came away with a burning research question about the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and some rumored anatomical compromises. (We hope it's true.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFtp...
Blind Date with Death, Ep 14. Chocolate dessert going cold on a hotel cart. Crickets shimmering outside. Dan's fingers drumming lightly on Marina's back, finding sore spots—mental and physical—with unnerving accuracy. The truth comes out ugly. www.patreon.com/VelvetMaskFi...
