I want to believe good art isn’t worth putting yourself in toxic situations to produce it but unfortunately the chain by Fleetwood Mac exists

Hark, heare the wynde blowe!
Wacche the sun ryse!
Runninge yn the shadowes:
Curse thy love, curse thy lies.
And yf thou dost not love me now
Thou wilt nevir love me agayne -
Ich kan yet heare thee sayinge:
Thou wouldst nevir breake the chayne

Morning bump for these goofs! I really desperately needed the dopamine of people enjoying my writing again so I am enormously grateful to everyone who’s read them so far 😭❤️

He swallows and hits the green button. “Hello?”

“Listen carefully,” says a dramatic English voice, pitched spy-movie low. “Hold Guy will be at the Pink Unicorn Club Open Mic comedy night this evening, 7pm. Do you understand?”

Ed’s nodding for a second before he realises he has to say something. “Yep.”

“Good.” The drama pitches up a notch. “I’ve Googled you, and I know you live here. I also know that you wear a lot of leather, and you look cool, and you’re very, very rich, and Hold Guy is also one of those things. And he’s single, and he’s lonely, and he’s driving us all insane, so I’m opening this magical little doorway to let you through. But if you hurt him you’ll have me to answer to.”

“Okay?” Ed feels like he’s tripped and fallen out of a rom-com and into a movie where English Liam Neeson’s promising in advance to hunt him down, before he’s even done anything wrong. “Uh, how will I know it’s him?”

There’s a sarcastic cackle from the other end of the line. “His voice, obviously.”

Years ago I showed this film to a whole bunch of my friends because I had a Thing for Young Peter Capaldi

To this day some of them ask me plaintively "WHYYYY" when I bring it up

(and then the others like @paulcatiang.bsky.social start doing their own version of the shimmy slinky snake dance)

The poster for Ken Russell's 1988 film The Lair of the White Worm, based on Bram Stoker's less-well-known novel of the same name, and starring Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant, Catherine Oxenberg, and Peter Capaldi (who really should have had equal billing here).

Poster is in shades of neon blues, purples, greens and yellows and features a pretty spoilerific shot of Amanda Donohoe in snake mode with fangs bared

Just finished 5 hours of #lumpia making-- prep, mixing, filling, rolling-- and now my back is *screaming*

I still haven't done the cheese lumpia yet

(my lolo would've been proud, my señorita lola would be puzzled, my mom would've howled with laughter while patting me on the head)

Conan O'Brien cutting a swath trough Metro Manila is kinda terrifying #ConanOBrienMustGo

A billboard on historic Epifanio de los Santos Ave (EDSA), site of numerous political rallies, featuring the head of Conan O'Brien horrifically photoshopped over the ripped body of Tarzan. It's an ad for local bubblegum manufacturers Tarzan and Texas
With the caption, ME LOVE GUM, PARDNER

The photo also has another caption: Conan O'Brien Leaves His Mark on EDSA.

This fan art bought us another season and put food on all of our tables. We will always be indebted to you.

Sometimes I remember worrying that I was embarrassing when I started sharing my fanart. I fell so hard & so fast for our pirates. Then a pro comic artist I really look up to just out of the blue told me my OFMD stuff was "beautiful work". It was like he knew I needed to hear it right at that moment.

This is my favorite time of year. I am not fall's favorite human though. Low sunlight sads got me hard today. Needed to draw a tiny comfy Ed about it.

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Small digital drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing an off-white robe and pants combo. The robe is decorated with tiny gold flowers and vines around the hem and shoulders. He's wearing big brown slippers. His hair is down, falling around his face and down his back. He looks cozy, happy. Could be happier, if he had a hot cocoa.

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

And for #PortfolioDay I’d like to repost this #OurFlagMeansDeath short animatic I made based on David Jenkins’ text. When I have the battery I enjoy doing personal animatics that reflect my taste. I’m available for directing and storyboards.
