one time i was explaining to a very nice woman about how women have always worked, in the fields and in the home, women worked always, i cited sources, gave examples. she turned to her husband "is that all true?"
"no" he said rolling his eyes
"oh. okay" she said.
This isn’t a spider, but an effigy that a spider has built out of debris to represent a huge version of itself
No body knows why this spider in the Philippines sculpts a decoy or how 11000 miles away in the Amazon, another spider does the same

why do movies keep doing this shot where the hero has a dead wife and they do a flash back where they are ethereally under a white sheet together, it's really weird. it's like the wilheim scream of dead fictional wives
the guy who made iron lung must feel weird, first he made a cool little game, them markiplier played it and it got even more popular, now markiplier is making it into a movie, and now a submarine tragedy so it made his game trend on twitter????
There was this artist i liked in highschool on deviantart and i was like "i wonder what they are up to" and they are still drawing the same characters in the same style and it made me feel so oddly peaceful and glad?? LOL
i was like "good. she's doing exactly what she likes"
i truly do not like this era of "we took dead actors and jangled their corpses around like jingling keys in front of audiences" i don't like it. i do not like it. it is inhuman.
Me: how could we inspire hate in a cosmic horror god if we are so small and insignificant?
Brain: how do people react to a spider in their bed. Or maggots in their fridge?
Me: oh
Me: OH NO
Not to highlight hateful bigots but I keep seeing transphobes being like "cis women don't have hair there!"
Me(cis) I do
"Cis women's breasts don't look like that!"
Mine do??
"Cis vaginas don't look like that!"
Mine does???
Lol I was reading a horror comic and I was like "eh i havent read anything that scared me in a while but looks entertaining" and it SLAMMED into one of my biggest fears so hard I almost barfed WOOPS
you know the manga One Punch Man? the writer just started making it for fun and posting it on social media. he drew it himself too. IT LOOKED LIKE THIS.
it's kinda funny how the creators of EVA specifically said the christian imagery in the show is ONLY for aesthetics but here i am still being deeply moved by the cold indifferent all powerful father forcing his vulnerable son to die an agonizing death for strangers.
Conan O'Brien on Hot Ones was fucking insane. If you've ever been frustrated with celebs nibbling the wings and acting like they've been shot, then you'll love Conan necking neat sauce out the bottle until he turns deep mauve while complaining that it's pathetically mild. INSANE.
my ultimate artistic inspiration is reading about Clive Barker telling the studio for Hellraiser he "absolutely knew how to make a movie" then ran to the library to get "every book on film" in the library but they only had 2 and 1 was checked out so he read 1 book.
you can have barfing fish gutters whenever you are willing to support the arts again.
see all the cool sculptors are packing boxes and scraping pennies and crying. so see. the world that often classical dorks long for is being destroyed by very things they support.
Shockingly Un-Meteored Rewhan | UN RESOLUTION 377A
Because ornate workmanship costs time and money, but aluminum drainpipes can be extruded a hundred lengths a minute for pennies on the dollar.
In short: capitalism.
animation i made using a collage technique years ago, i want to do way more of this now.
it's called "The idea of a Tiger"
photos, toys, ads, posters, all used together to make a shifting image.
imagine being a bird and seeing this thing.
imagine being a human and you think you see another human being, you run up to them only to see it is a badly preserved corpse with a clanking mechanism inside that lets it walk around and wheeze "HEElelllOOO"
i really want a character with basically no hope total nihilist depression to the max but still a good guy, and the bad guy is like "why are you doing this?? there's no point" and the main character is like "honestly, i thought really hard about it and i just want to."
How to make it fun
1. If backgrounds intimidate you, you really only need one per page
2. Be incredibly self indulgent, make the exact comic you wish you could find on the shelf. Put every silly heartfelt thing in there. Every whim. It's your party you can do ANYTHING
good: outside my house, there is an icecream truck giving out free icecream today to unhoused people today+everyone else
bad: the icecream truck is blasting bad, loud, tinny, gospel music on bad speakers
objectively funny : the name of the truck is Christ Cream
@Kelly_McKernan
here's what i don't get, if this tech is so great, if it's so wonderful, if its just as valid as the real way, why go to efforts to hide it, or to not categorize it. why be covetous with your prompts. its all a bit silly
I think Moby Dick might be cosmic horror.
Captain Ahab is like "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND it's not a whale. God is an evil master controlling every living human like a puppet, free will is an illusion, we are caught in a cruel trap made by god. THAT WHALE IS THE MASK OF THAT GOD"
like, the dead actor can't even say "hey go ahead and make photorealistic cartoons of me forever, make me say and do things that i can't ever complain about" cause. you didn't ask them.
it's ghoulish.
you made necromancy lame and rude.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH OH MY GOD AHAHHAHAAHA
literal dream come true for him to see my art, thanks for choosing to show my stuff
@slimyswampghost
i hate...how often in wholesome stories everyone talks like a therapist....or like they are at one all the time. it's just not how people talk. it's really stilted and weird.
Youtuber: HOW TO SURVIVE THIS HORROR MOVIE
me: no. you'd die
youtuber: BUT ALL YOU'D HAVE TO DO IS-
me: no, you exist within the framework of horror, the universe would bend to make you die. that is the point in this narrative.
YT: but-
me: dead.
artists: oh no! people are using generative stuff to replace our jobs!
writers: haha! sucks to be you! I'm irreplaceable!
writers: oh no! people are using generative stuff to replace our jobs!
techy people: haha! sucks to be you! I'm irreplaceable I-
me: ....hmmm
@Why0hWhyy
see this is why i can never watch war movies or even read too much history at once even though i love it. i just keep thinking "i bet all those boys just wanted to go home" and i start crying
one thing i Really like about the original "The Crow" comic by James O'Barr, is Eric is drawn in this very sensual way that i tend to only see women characters depicted as? he's very, alluring in his posing and the way he's drawn.
@mobiusrealm
the best death i can imagine is i'm at a big party when im 100 years old and everyone tells me how much they like me, then i explode but i was full of candy all along.
one of the things that sorta makes me sad with internet horror is there will be a scary idea, like the backrooms, then people just keep adding more and more stuff and lore onto it until it's weighed down and it's not scary or fresh anymore. then they do it with a new thing.
as a disabled artist making a fantasy story with one of the protagonists having a disability, the "why would there be disabled people in fantasy??" discourse is really depressing.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?
the writer never stopped drawing and he drew his next manga himself Mob Psycho 100
LOOK AT THIS IMPROVEMENT!
what if he gave up???
not going to quote retweet a fascist to get him attention but i always laugh because ARTISTS STILL ARE MAKING STUFF LIKE THIS. ALL THE TIME. you just don't value art so you don't seek out new artists who are doing this! also cause they are often POC or QUEER or WOMEN
its gross. its...disrespectful to the dead. it's weird. like "hey you are a commodity, long after you no longer breathe, you WILL generate money for me."
Hbomberguy becoming some sort of holiday cryptid, he disappears most of the year, appears around christmas with a 4 hour video where he gets someone's ass
then back into the plunging darkness, until...next christmas
if props are going to be this good in an era of CGI i need like a BIIIIG MESSAGE telling me at the end that someone made this thing. so many times people think BRILLIANT prop FX are "bad cgi"
This is not a real animal (pheew!) but the video shows how they made the little bugs in Guillermo Del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' (2013). If you assumed most of the bugs were CGI, you will be impressed by the reality level of these mechanical toys [source: ]
dead fictional perfect wife who was the heroe's moral center we must WRAP HER IN WHITE SHEET. NOW. NOW. everyone must know she's dead and good and in heaven
SURELY THERE ARE OTHER WAYS lol its like parody at this point
i'm looking at public domain art on picryl and there's this one old cartoonist and he always is drawing fat girls on postcards and i THINK its supposed to be funny??? but the girls are hot so i'm like "i think he was sincere??"
