I love clowns and puppets unironically, but not because of Homestuck. Instead, my high school French teacher showed my class Cirque du Soleil recordings not knowing it would change my brain chemistry, and I watched Avenue Q and Labyrinth at around that same time
medical cryptid
@phyrexian.bsky.social
they/them, have a medical degree... SFF, MTG, oddities, rats and writing. https://unchallenged-sky.neocities.org/ I have a webnovel!
@amytheamazonian.bsky.social this is Dr. Bibz, I was inspired by our transformers conversation during the stream so I drew you this
Thoroughly obsessed with a 23 year old I met today whose 3 Chinese phrases were 谢谢,王八单,and 老B
I am so bad about marketing myself but I have a novella that is a modern adaptation of the Phantom of the Opera, written through the lens of a Chinese America protagonist with gothic horror and racial justice themes. www.aqueductpress.com/books/978-1-...

I KNOW preorders are super important for books, but they're also not how consumers find products, so like... just remember the long tail. People want to go into a place, pick up a thing, and enjoy it. Build more infrastructure around the period of time when readers can actually be consumers.
Multiple stories of mine end with the protagonist doing a big ploppah down in a field of grass, this reveals me the author's deep desire to do a big ploppah in a field of grass. Like some kind of animal.
I fear not even many queer sinos I've met have the same attachment to Nezha as I do. I was kinning him at 3 years of age. 哪吒脑海 retired my brain chemistry.
On the one hand I would love a discord server full of queer neurodivergent Sinos obsessed with mythology but I fear that we would all kin Nezha differently and the fallout would be catastrophic. (That said if you are a queer neurodivergent person from the sinosphere and want to talk mythology htm)
The Cats crowd comprises older theatergoers and young queer people, and the blessed middle of the venn diagram: queer elders :)))
I'm making my partner watch Paris is Burning as required viewing prior to the Jellicle Ball.
The Jellicle Ball is pulling up latent feelings about Cats like when I read a bunch of fanfic as a 12yr.
Shoutout to the two cool protesters i hung out with at the train station, you two were super cool.
Ersatz is OUT! The indie pilot I've been solo-animating for 1.5 years is now on youtube. Check it out! youtu.be/yf2tBjHvx9s?...

Things I revisit when I'm Going Through It: -The Origin of Love from Hedwig and the Angry Inch -Dudarai, the Khazakh folk song (i am not ethnically Khazakh I just enjoy the song a lot) -Tony Leung crying into a tape recorder from Happy Together
New Years resolution to let go of shame so here i am bravely posting art of my OCs from my webnovel even though neither of them has shown up yet. #unchallengedsky #originalart #dragon #tomyirlfriendwhofollowsmeyouseenothing
Shout out to my spouse who doesn't so much match my freak as politely looks on as I wriggle on the ground like a gremlin.
The benefits of having 0 social media presence is that I can curate my stuff to No One But Myself. The problem is Myself has been masking for 20+ years and feels incredibly nervous sharing personal things that bring joy.
youtu.be/YbKasfNak4U?... I found a new favorite animator. I love how they clearly borrow from modern dance as a language, before everything collapses into nature.

Does my high school French teacher know how deeply she would change my life when she showed my class Cirque du Soleil on a day when she didn't want to teach?
Researching how you do laundry in space and finding out the answer is....you don't. They just jettison stinky clothes off of the ISS.
Goo morning, monsters. They’ll invent new words for you, none of them sufficient, each a new box to be ripped apart with your teeth and slithered out of. Until they finally learn the lesson.
I could be using social media differently as someone with Respectable Job but im too neurodivergent and I worry I'd just be virtually masking instead of being able to yell about monsters and anime. I want to yell about the current shit state of healthcare but also I want to yell about mothman ass
We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?
