29 queer polyam disabled genderfreak. She/they. Bargain bin Elvira. Friendly neighborhood hot goth bitch. I love horror, pixel art and chatting about weird videogames. Think of a stereotype and that's me. MDNI, NSFW.

Years and years the only way I've been able to read Lobo was in comic form - dad had the original run plus the sequel, and a couple here and there but I've been waiting for a omnibus for ages. Bisley is one of my favourite artists but honestly all these artists are great.

Suddenly came down with a huge fucking fever because I dared to go to the shops the other day. Just as I was about to get started on my big chronic illness themed horror thing. There's irony here.

And, still continuing with art of course. Hopefully I'll get into a groove I can feel comfortable with.

I might do some adventure game type things in future - I'm quite into the idea of some kind of 90s style spooks -, and at least one idea I've got is a "full" game, but my energy levels vary wildly at the mo.

Almost finished with a serviceable plot outline for my next idea which I'm hoping to write over the next couple of months. I'm moving towards interactive fiction as something that I can reasonably create to a schedule I am happy with.

He may have done all these things! I frankly wouldn’t be surprised! But I’ll be go to hell before I pick up a torch based on one obscure podcast by known liars.

Yup. And as I’ve said a dozen times now, I actually suspect the allegations ARE true! But if we stop demanding even the most basic standards of journalism, we’re just screwed. We’re already in a “post-truth” world, I’m gonna cling with my nails to what we’ve got left.

I really want a source on it that isn’t a site run by TERFs. It’s not that they’re automatically wrong about EVERYTHING, but…well…I admit I have a hard time extending their reporting the benefit of the doubt that I usually would.

For Disability Pride Month, one thing I'd love abled bodied people to figure out is how to speak to someone with chronic health issues without implying that if they themselves had the disabled person's health conditions, they would end it all. I promise you life goes on- even with health issues.

Easiest way is through my Kofi where you can also commission me and buy bundles of art. I'm trying to get used to this being my new normal. Hoping to have some fiction out by the end of the year.

I just like talking about films. And sharing that love. This is probably, in truth, a couple of projects away- I've got a commission to do first, and then I want to finish my fiction piece and put that out.

Every now and then I think about doing the little horror newsletter thing where I talk about films and do a little illustration. maybe an old film, a new film, and one I've seen before? With pixel art. But I dunno if that's something anyone would be into.

Cobweb was ok. It had some great tension, lighting and a bit of a Del Toro fairytale vibe but, again, let it all down with an exposition dump near the end and a bit of a lacklustre, vague ending.

You know, so far Cobweb is pretty enjoyable, and doing well at keeping up the tension. It has a good use of light and shadow too.

One thing that is quite funny is that I saw the kid and without knowing much I was like "that's a Busey" and IT IS. Gary Busey's son.

I don't understand why, if my partner has issues (which he does with the CF) I can be understanding but as soon as it's me, I struggle. It's a weird, stupid brain thing. Im sorry you go through it too.

I don't think I've actually had any issues for a while now, at least 3/4 months but there was a point and probably will be again in future that I needed constant, reliable toilet access and I may still very well end up with a colostomy bag. Honestly that would be a blessing at this point.

This is embarrassing because, well. I'm not even, 30. Luckily partner #1 has similar issues so I don't feel so "alone", even when I feel useless about it. It's embarrassing to discuss but if I'm open about everything else I should be open about this too.

By "bordering on", I mean that sometimes, during especially bad spasms, I am. My gut goes from 0-100 incredibly fast, with 0 being "don't need the loo" and 100 being "if I don't get to the loo within 30 seconds there will be trouble" and I still can't predict much of why or how.

I keep wondering if asking my Japanese fam is worth a shot because games I buy from there come with English subs, but I don't know. My uncle does work in translation (I found out a few years ago that he actually translated one of Takeshi Miike's films- the yokai one).

I recently found out they've removed Noroi and I am GLAD I have a hard copy of that burned to disc from borrowing it years ago... I just need to dig it up 😅. I think the services I watch the most are torn between Shudder and Crunchyroll tbh.

It was on Netflix this end. Honestly, in terms of movies they produce Shudder are no better or worse than anywhere else. It's just nice to have a horror centered thing and it has enabled me to watch a bunch of films that were on my watch list.

I'll adapt to this being my new normal at some point. I'll get used to the pain and knowing when and where I'm going to struggle with toilet access and stuff like that but the longer this goes on the longer the chance I'm going to struggle at recovering.

If you like my pixel art and want to support me and future endeavours, follow the link. I'm still really sick with Crohns Colitis and multiple stomach and intestinal ulcers. Anyway, financial support during this difficult time would be appreciated :).
