dear professor @maenad@cthonic.club

First, I read the Dark Ascent by our friend Natalie Ash.

Alchemy is the pursuit of purity, a metaphysical concept that is horrifying, as well as the foundation of much of modern science.

In this thread I will do some preview doodles of 4 (or 5) of the Trophy dark incursions that will eventually make up https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coldhearthcollective/alchemy-1?ref=clipboard-prelaunch , a project by @signalstation , myself, and some (very impressive) friends.

Neighbor gave me this tonight

I'm on masto less, but that doesn't mean I don't care. I'm doing fine, and building places and things I'm proud of.

If you need me, I am here.

If you are in the Albuquerque area and need a roof, or a meal, or access to water, or a shoulder, dm me on wire or discord. Please.

Moo (selfie, ec)

You may or may not know that I've been making my own tarot deck, which I will print and distribute eventually. Anyway, here's 4 cards I printed today

Cw: nudity, skeletons

So if you didn't back my kickstarter, you may not know that I've published my game Climbing the Witch's Tower.

If you want spookiness and dark fairytale and tarot... check it out https://maenad.itch.io/climbing-the-witchs-tower

So I've done a little bit of games writing lately I guess?

Here's two incursions I wrote for Trophy Dark:
Something from Nothing, an alchemical bodyhorror thing I'm told is VERY gross: https://maenad.itch.io/something-from-nothing
Setting a Second Sun, a folkloric daytime desert horror thing: https://maenad.itch.io/setting-a-second-sun

They both have commnity copies available and I'm proud of both my horrible brain children.

LB: I am playing in this.

I have an instagram and I am back on birdsite

If you have either of those things and want to hear more from me, DM me.

our conversation ended with me yelling "I JUST WANT YOU TO MAKE EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY DECISIONS" at his retreating back which means it was PROBABLY not that productive in terms of actually changing anything but WAS cathartic.

I've expressed this to him, and he's heard it but not understood it

he's like "I didn't get drunk so that I wouldn't be able to go" and I'm like "thaaaat's so far from why I'm upset you idiot I care about you"

in the 10 days my houseguest has been here I've slept elsewhere twice

both times he's gotten problematically intoxicated

we had plans for yesterday to go into the mountains and have a day and he texted me at 2 AM that he was drunk and throwing up so couldn't go

I had fun without him

I am still hurt, exasperated, and disappointed.

If I said an ow streamer with 50k subs was coming into town today so I could help him recover from a toxic situation in a minimally toxic environment this shirt would ID him 100%... To a crowd I don't run in
