it’s so obscene that instragram has ended up being the platform most artists i care about use to disseminate news and updates because that site is fucking unusable
I don’t care about Dungeon Meshi otherwise but “Tallmen” is SUCH an elegant solution to placing humans in a fantasy setting that it’s still blowing my mind. Just the term itself is enough to instantly recontextualize humans. They’re no longer the default race. They’re those big goobers with long legs, striding about all the time. I can so easily envision much more interesting relationships between humans and non-humans because of it. Like perhaps “tallmen” are stereotyped as shepherds by other races because they can watch over their flocks better, or as vagabonds because they are better suited to long travel on foot. And of course, they don’t *literally* have to be taller than everybody else, they were just the tallest around whenever the label became the norm, or something like that. I just feel like it’s so much better than what I’ve seen in settings like D&D that go “and humans are the… adaptable, generalist people :)!”
Is weirdly that poorly educated in basic natural science or was he just banking on everyone else’s ignorance???
That’s a Tumblr Sexyman if ever I saw one. Look how his adversary is looking at him, y’all have based whole shipping mythos off flimsier context before
There’s even a fused Live Vulture Reaction + Sickos Yes Ha Ha Yes
I’m surprised Slylock isnt more of a social media thing considering it’s 37 years old, the lateral thinking puzzles can get fun to guess, it has Count Weirdly, and if you’re not into count weirdly well he has two sisters
They’re possibly even dumber than their brother but good taste in things to steal
For the furries out there Slylocks other arch rival is Cassandra Cat
More things to appreciate about Slylock:
REEKY RAT’S Punk Band Criminal Gang which includes Wanda Weasel and a condor dude I don’t know the name of
How generally gorgeous the art has gotten, holy shit his colors and his line weight, I might never get this good.
When there are pop culture references they show such broad and consistently great taste (this was in a spot the differences bonus puzzle)
So he definitely also knows exactly what he’s picking for the weekly children’s drawing submission
He draws SO MANY reptiles, bugs and spooky birds and bats but I really wanted you to see this alligator mom
This specific little maggot blob dog that consistently appears in Weirdly’s castle
Almost everything going on in this one:
Weirdly keeps a framed photo of Plankton on his wall. Is Plankton real in this universe or is he a cartoon?
He keeps a dead baby swordfish in a fishbowl that he also uses as a candle holder directly on the floor let’s look closer at that
Amazing
There’s a huge earthworm next to his lunch
There’s just a bone hanging from the ceiling by a rope
Bitch was gloating about how he was gonna turn Slylock into a robot but apparently also while eating a bowl of straight sour cream like it’s a soup
It was rotten (which he knew) and now ruined his plan by giving him the shits
Slylock knowing he’s in absolutely no danger as usual but god does he just wish he could have had a nice normal Sunday
Like, sometimes it amazes me how much people like certain things. I follow two artists that draw only like, one guy. 90% of their content is that guy and i am like, 1000000% here for it, i wish i could be that focused on a blorbo
Anyway for those of you not enmeshed with tumblr’s transgender mycelial network, or otherwise on its periphery, basically every damn day of pride month another couple trans bloggers have gotten wiped, regardless of blog content, following, blog age, anything, and it shows no sign of slowing. In general it seems to be hitting transfems more liberally, but transmasc and nonbinary friends of mine have also been wiped for their steadfast solidarity or Just Cause. There’s also been an uptick in posts being almost immediately marked mature by community tags for no discernible reason beyond “Posting While Trans”. This is a time to stick together like goddamn epoxy resin. Vocally defend and support each other. Block and ignore any wretched cunt spreading callouts or stirring up shit. Make sure you have a way to talk to your friends beyond this site. Don’t buy badges, don’t blaze, cold shoulder the fuck out of mod blogs, and give voice to your discontent.
