Freaking Out For No Reason Day Apparently. O_o Probably Should Not Have Taken The Stimulant Meds Today

Freaking out for no reason day apparently. o_o Probably should not have taken the stimulant meds today but eh, too late now. Hopefully lying in bed for awhile will help it wear off so I can get shit done before my surprise apartment inspection that I got the notice for like right after my housekeeper left on Friday, very awsome. 8)

The sour-faced griffin queen peers coldly out of her flower-draped royal window, one thick hand gripping the delicate frame while the other holds her scepter of office. Her bountiful yellow-feathered belly overflows the sill, her blue and purple silk wrap barely containing an ample bosom. Her plumage is the vivid red, yellow, blue, and white of a scarlet macaw, her black beak as fierce as her royal glare. Purple flowers dangle from the sill to frame her belly while orange and white blooms wind overhead to slightly obscure her blue-feathered crown of office. Jewels and gold chains glitter around fingers and from beneath feathery neck folds.

Silhouetted against a bright magenta moon, a black dragoness with amber horns peers at you with one vivid green eye. She is turned away, mouth slightly open as if speaking, a few teeth just visible in her easy smirk. Long ears with a circular notch on their undersides flow behind her head, just under thick horns with spiral runes. Similar runes are carved in the wicked talons on her visible wing. The amber of her belly scales and the vivid purple of her wing membranes and inner ear stand out against her smooth black hide.

An orange and white tabby cat with blue eyes lounges on the back of a smiling brown and tan German shepherd dog. They’re resting in a dense field of yellow roses with warm pink sunset coloring fluffy clouds orange and purple behind them.

A cartoon styled white man with dreadlocks partially combed over his bald head, sideburns, and a short beard and mustache. He’s wearing a t-shirt with the sleeves ripped and holding a can of beer. Everything is in a bright red-purple palette. He looks thoughtful, lips puffed out to show his front teeth in a vacant grimace. On his forehead a third eye has split open, the wrinkles of skin like eyelids, a runnel of blood sliding down his nose, his left pierced brow tacky with wetness. He isn’t looking at you with his two eyes, but the third one stares dirctly at the viewer.

Sitting cross-legged amid purple pillows and sheets with his weight on one white-clawed hand, a thin ferret man looks over his bare shoulder at you. He holds a tarot card in his left hand. Black silk robes limned in red drape over his waist and elbows, leaving his long back bare. Tattoos of poppies and snaking wires arch over his shoulder blades and ribs, drawing the eye to a series of metal ports anchored to his spine, the largest between his shoulders. Black wires snake from the ports to a a wheel-like device on the ceiling, half obscured by hanging curtains. His long, densely curled black hair is pulled aside to reveal more ports and wires in his long neck and forehead. He smiles coyly, lips closed above a neatly trimmed black beard. One foot rests casually on his knee, paw pads and wicked claws on display, his thick tail curled around his thigh. The red lighting makes his fur pink, the black of his mask pattern, forearms and tail tip in stark contrast.

Two hummingbirds dart toward each other, jewel colored wings outstretched, beneath pine boughs. Purple columbines bloom in the foreground and blue mountains rise behind the scene.

Against a blue backdrop, a fawn-colored mother bunny cuddles her two little ones. The smallest bunny nestles under her right paw while the larger of her two children nuzzles her nose against her mother's. Purple flowers bloom at the bottom, small white flowers hanging down from the upper right.

A scraggly, grungy grim reaper bunny stares through you with red, soulless eyes. His dark green fur, ragged and long, does nothing to hide the wrinkles in his gaunt face. He holds a wicked bone scythe in gnarled hands, it’s blade chipped and stained. His old robes are baggy. The veins in his long ears are prominent and he is lit from behind by an ominous, hellish light.

Lying in a bed or red roses and jewels, a sphynx cat stares forward with one vivid green eye. She is draped in jewels herself: gold necklaces, onyx and topaz rings on the clawed hand resting on her chest, a teardrop topaz resting on her forehead. The rose thorns clutch at her ears and skin. Out of her mouth a rosebud blooms and from her left eye another is in full flower. A jagged, bloodless gash reveals yellowed ribs and another garden of roses where a heart should be.

Sign the Petition

Mandate Braille Labels on All Medications

A blind friend of mine was nearly killed by mislabelled meds and I certainly struggle with mine because I can't read them and accessible pharmacy anything is really hard to get (never did get a call back from ScripTalk). I'd love to be able to just read a label when I'm having a migrain and can't use my eyes too, that would be rad.

just blind things please spread this around and sign if you can blind blindness actually blind everyone hypes up AI for the blind and all we want is things that already exist in other countries or which were available to us since like the 70s but are being denied now braille

⭐️ for the director's cut?

Oh man, this is kind of a challenge. I haven’t written much in the past couple years and after getting brain damage last year I don’t remember what’s posted and what’s not without being prompted about a specific piece. XD The last fandom I was writing a lot for was Metalocalypse and all I remember from that is that I wrote some good stuff and currently thinking about the fandom/show just makes me sad.

Uuuuhhhh.... Despite how disconnected things seemed in my MTL series I did have some pretty epic ideas for both. “Florida” was a prequel/sequel (yes both!) to “Sense Memories” and was going to set up a reset of the world where the band gets kind of a “do over” only their reward for saving everyone is that they get a shot at being happy. They don’t reform Dethklok because it’s no longer needed. Nathan and Skwisgaar were going to kind of hook up in the third story and there was a thing where everyone would rush to be there for Murderface when he re-remembered his mom was dead. It was sweet but I wandered away from it, got distracted by like three other rifs on MTL “what ifs” and have since left the fandom, as one does.

Now let me tell you about Homestuck... :D
