Pronouns Day

It's international pronouns day, so If you're ever unsure or don't know someone's pronouns - just ask.

It's as simple as that.

Here's to being the wrong kind of ugly (you're not) transes >>raises improvised drinking vessel<<
Two tiny, pale creatures in dark garb, one w/pointy ears, the shorter one w/feelers or antlers, observing a sea colored crystal on a landscape of square paving stones which are far larger than them. White flowers grow between the cracks.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky.
Rainy nighttime scene of the anime character Fulle who has been... shot full of arrows (not just to the knee). He has short dark hair plastered by the rain, long silver earrings, dark clothing including a coat over a sleeveless, neck-covering tank-top and gloves. He curls forward, framed by crates or boxes and a pot placed before illuminated windows in the gloomy, blue-toned background.

STOP⛔ This is a WIP checkpoint
QRP with your current WIP*

*and has been IP for too long...

Goosenado & Posse' (final title subject to change)

#WIPwednesday
A work-in-progress: crop of a goose with a gloriously large basal knob, chin lifted high as if looking down in judgment, a blade of grass hanging from the corner of his beak, lit like a cigarette. He might have a coat collar. Currently done in pencil to be finished later, the rest of the drawing a mystery for now... Known in some parts as Sir, the Stampede, Webbed Goosenado and he is saying, "Shiiiit--"

Abstract black and white digital landscape drawing of sparse trees on a mountain, unevenly sloping down from right to left. Starburst shapes span the skyline but also seem to have come down to nestle in the trees, firefly-like. A thick crescent moon is in the upper-right corner, looking eclipsed by something. Curving cloud strips dominate the upper left, only slightly crossing the mid-line where a transition from day to night starkly occurs. A few mysterious shapes rise branch-like from one tree. The overall effect is like an unearthly photo-negative, one side in reverse.

Okay but... that's also a Castlevania boss. 😬 If all of them can mask up, so can we, folks. Masks are hard to come by where they're from and yet here they are... 😷
A pixelated ball of bodies with an angry red glow between them; a boss from the videogame Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Post your fave pokemon wrong answers only
A blue-black metal horse with bright red mane-interface buttons arching over their head and neck stands on an earthen road with flowers, verdant bushes in the background. His name is Onx and his expression is fierce and serious, head tucked while his short, high tail aims straight back. His legs end in subtle rocket-booster hooves. His eyes and the three-pointed star on his chest are of the same red as his mane, the attached saddle an unexpectedly dull brown in comparison. A small fuzzy sprite creature peaks out of the window of an orange home, amazed. (Screenshot from the Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer film, 1985)

From the BLS's own website: www.bls.gov/news.release...
Part of the FAQ from the bls.gov website stating: 7. Does the official unemployment rate exclude people who want a job but are not currently looking for work? Yes. However, there are separate estimates of people outside the labor force who want a job, including those who are not currently looking because they believe no jobs are available (discouraged workers). In addition, alternative measures of labor underutilization (some of which include discouraged workers and other groups not officially counted as unemployed) are published each month in table A-15 of The Employment Situation news release. For more information about these alternative measures, please visit www.bls.gov/cps/lfcharacteristics.htm#altmeasures.

Not the best screenshot but here is one. Herd might have been mixed, would have to watch again.
Screenshot of the 1983 film 'Krull'. The scene is at the bottom of a rocky grey canyon where a ginger-haired cyclops (actor, Bernard Bresslaw) and a smaller man in black (actor, Ken Marshall) are being dragged by ropes around a dappled grey horse with hairy fetlocks. Another man wrangles a brown horse in the background.

💔 Loneliness. Tho... some questions, no answer quite right.
Loneliness You create from loneliness. There has always been a disconnect between yourself and others that you've never known how to breach. You want companionship, but it seems like something that just wasn't meant for you. With no one to confide in, you turn to art instead. Your loneliness lays the backdrop for all you create. There is a sense of frigid isolation that pervades your work, because that is the place it is created from. You pour out your heart and soul into your art because you do not know where else to put it. Art is an indirect avenue of connection. To understand another's art, to feel understood by another's art, is a way of connecting to each other across time and space. In creating and consuming art, you remember that you, too, are human.

I used to drink out of one of these. Liked the feel of the thick glass and it kept things cool. A handle would have been a nice addition tho. Now craving sassafras and sarsaparilla...
A bottle of Virgil's Rootbeer with a hinged metal stopper top. The upper label reads, "So rich and creamy you'll swear it's made in heaven." The bottom label reads, "Special Edition Bavarian Nutmeg, Imported from Bavaria, Micro-brewed, 1 Pint .8oz (500mL)" with a bearded man in an apron serving frothing mugs to two children at a small table.

... I guess this is a thing.
Screenshot of the "Celebrating 10M users" popup. A blue butterfly icon is in the upper left corner, a party popper is right of the celebration text. In large font below, centered it says, "#144,157". A blue stamp is over the bottom of the 5 and 7 saying, "First 10%" in the center ringed by "Certified Bluesky Elder". In the bottom left are two lines reading Eluthurin Rhiwaerlin and @eluthurin.bsky.social. In the lower right in faded grey font it says, "Joined Jun 22, 2023". Behind the main white backdrop is another in sunset copper gradating to black from the lower right corner to the upper left one.

What's your "no one but me remembers" game?

Tombs and Treasure.
The soundtrack is in my brain playlist to this day along with visuals: clouds moving across the Start screen, jaguar statues, a calm cenote and good old El Slug.
Screenshot of the '91 NES version of the videogame Tombs and Treasure. The UI looks like expertly "tetris'd" stonework with a sun motif in the top center. It is currently indicating black for night. One UI box on the upper-left reads Court of Columns. There are indeed crumbling, burnt-umber columns in the viewbox to the right, a dark sky, and a shaggy green mound of a creature shambling on the worked stone ground. Another UI box on the left has movement arrows, including stairs. The next has actions such as crossed swords, a character swap, movement, magnifying glass, and a hand placing a red object. The lower UI box has a character with warm, burnt-umber hues to skin and hair and calm, determined eyes. The text says, "It's El Slug!"

Just realized whose profile the haunted painting in Super Castlevania IV reminded me of. So this tracks.
Pixel portrait of an older woman in profile with purple skin and wispy hair. One hand reaches out of the silver frame to attack as her mouth continuously moves. (from the Super Castlevania IV videogame)

I tried re: emojis. But look at this little guy. He neeeds a vacation. Selfie-stalks included.
A long, shadowy stone corridor is lit by a central line of ceiling lamps, watched over by the illuminated armed and fanged statues on either side, guarded by a strange floating lump of flesh with eye stalks and mouth that hides a surprise. Its expression could be wistful or disappointed. Perhaps it needs a vacation.

If you see this, post a bridge
Photo of the Art Trail with "Maman" by Louise Bourgeois at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Benches and autumnal foliage surround a giant spider with a composition akin to tree roots or twisting vines/wire, including an egg sac. A wooden bridge/walkway can be seen leading off into the background.

What are you wearing to the bsky cocktail hour?*

*to feyd into darkness as introverts do
Screenshot of Sting as Feyd Rautha from the 1984 movie version of "Dune". His titian-blonde hair is feathering upwards like flame, he wears striated black (and in this lighting, cobalt blue) sci-fi garb with a high, flared collar, backlit by fog and is -not- currently wielding his curved knife, a satisfied hand on hip. He may have finally gotten his MTV.

😆 Same. Now I can hear it. Interesting article. Is that all Feyd in the '84 version of Dune ever really wanted..?

Me, reading your posts
Screenshot of Kylan from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance looking potentially nonplussed, a bit amused, sad, weary, chill, a combination or an expression that will likely be misinterpreted by those who see it IRL. (This happens quite often, unfortunately).
