Last night's Vampire stream got... weird.

(From Bound by Night on @void-dolly.bsky.social's Twitch channel.)

#ttrpg #VampireTheMasquerade #illustration #cute #nuggets
A sketch in a simple, cute style. A woman with curly red hair, fox ears, and a fox tail crouches on a bed - throwing chicken nuggets into her wide open mouth. A bearded man with one blue eye and one green eye sits on a chair, also throwing chicken nuggets into his wide open mouth.

Something I know deep in my heart but sounds like absolute nonsense as an outside thought...

The perfect movie for the Scorpio new moon vibe is HEAD.

It's the absolute end of one thing, yet unknowingly the very beginning of fresh, new growth.
Poster for the move Head. Four figures jumping up in the air against a bright yellow background. Four young men in the desert.

It wasn't all intense action and big choices in our penultimate episode of season 3 of @2dollarcreature.bsky.social...

Sometimes little aliens have problems with big steps, ok?

Glimpses of me shenanigans from the 2025 @anomalyfilmfest.com, including...

* my floor-based intro to BY DESIGN
* Q&A after the @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social's MOTHER OF FLIES w/ Zelda Adams (chair-based)
* me on the @drydentheatre.bsky.social's curtains
* vowing to free the Many-Eyed Potato
Me laying on the floor of the Little Theatre's stage, behind a chair. Two figures in director-style chairs on the stage of the Little Theatre. A slide featuring a portrait of me projected onto the rising gold curtain of the Dryden Theatre. The Many-Eyed Potato behind the glass of a coin-operated fortune machine, with one human hand reaching out to to touch the barrier. A sign that read "Gaze upon the potato" is attached to the bottom of the glass.

I couldn't resist the siren's call of the Baba Yaga hut.

White design on a purple background. The word "Anomaly" surrounded by folk art style flowers, leaves, and eyes. A Baba Yaga hut stands on top of the text, taking a step forward, with an open eye near its roof.

My first intro for this year's @anomalyfilmfest.com in the can.

It made sense in context.

Maybe.

Had an adventure and went to a screening of Shaye Saint John: The Triggers Compilation last night.

There is something special about watching just the weirdest, most surreal, brain fizzling shit... collectively.

It's... sacred?
