After Over A Year Of Work, It's Finally Here: My Biggest (and I Think Best) Project Ever, The Cultist

Thinking about a duct tape wizard

imagine how clean you could get in the shower if you were a skeleton

the thing about gideon the ninth is that it should not work. the whole thing sounds like a fucking disaster. you look at it on paper and it seems like a word salad made into a novel. there's bible shit. there's space shit. there's whodunnit shit. there's Human Anatomy and Physiology BIO 2102 and Lab shit. the characters have names like Williambert Decaheptagoneronagus. there's internet memes for some goddamn reason. none of this should work. and yet somehow it all ends up not only working as a coherent novel and series of books, but being an incredibly profound piece of art on themes of grief, love, and human nature itself. it doesn't pull any punches, even if sometimes the punches are protonjon quips from 2007. thank you tamsyn.

Footnotes on foes: Eldrazi

Hey DMs, do you need an unfeeling aberrant force to threaten your campaign world at various scales but don’t want to use mindflayers? Bored of lovecraftian knockoffs threatening to drown reality in abstract but unspecified “madness”? Well have I got the monster for you friends, It’s the Eldrazi: an unknowable and all consuming horde that’s here to reduce your setting to nothingness.

I’ve always had a fondness for the Eldrazi after they originally debued in magic the gathering, alien beings that sap all life from their surroundings and seem to have no other aims beyond the total and complete obliteration of whatever world they happen to dwell on. (plus they have a super cool look, and in the end isn’t that what matters?)

Eldrazi have a lot of mystery surrounding them, but in trying to puzzle them out I came up with my own headcanon that was too good not to use.  Below the cut I’ll go into detail on how I think the eldrazi function, and how you can best use them in your campaigns.

TLDR: The eldrazi are the great decomposers of the multiverse, reducing dead worlds down into their base components, and then into dust to be reabsorbed by the cosmic cycles of the astral sea. A perfectly natural process, but one that can go catastrophically wrong should the eldrazi be drawn to a world that has not yet died as they often are by witless dabblers or disruptions to those same astral currents. When they end up on a world they’re not supposed to be they end up creating wastelands, fighting against nature like an infection.

How To Draw A Horse - a comic by Emma Hunsinger

feels like some people become parents because they've been taught that is the natural progression of how adults gain power (i.e. the power their parents held over them in their childhood). and now they need to be at the top of that power structure, to finally be okay.

which is very, very sad. and also, crucially, not a healthy reason to become a parent.

PSA very important announcement

so many brands are migrating back to tumblr and everyone has been doing their civic duty to block them, but some people feel like it’s not happening fast enough en masse.

WELL HAVE NO FEAR,

there is a very helpful  blog known as:

https://brand-directory.tumblr.com/

-that has carefully ordered and linked every single brand that migrated or was already on tumblr so you can open link in a new tab and block them en masse

REMINDER TO ABSOLUTELY NEVER INTERACT WITH BRAND BLOGS, EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE MOST OBLITERATING THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SAID TO THEM, remember these blogs are run by workers and their content will likely never be seen by anyone who could make any meaningful change in the company (sorry interns) and notes will translate to more eyes on the brand.

a corporation cannot feel insulted, an employee can, and in corporate eyes any press is good press, DO NOT GIVE THEM NOTES, yes even the brands you like, if i can block sonic the hedgehog you can do it too

after you’re done blocking everything i highly recommend following to stay updated on what brands are on tumblr.

and while i usually don’t beg for notes cause i like not getting my inbox flooded but i would greatly appreciate if you reblog or better yet, share this post, don’t like it, that wont help anything and the note flood will drive my anxiety.

do not let this website turn into another guerrilla marketing playground for corporations, and here’s hoping for the best.

Why is this heat so hot 😩
