Here’s the finished painting of the softest scene in televisual history that murders me every day because they’re never going to happen
Prints of this piece are now on sale in My Etsy Shop!
I get loads of print requests for this so I decided I’m going to properly try and sell them through a vendor as I’m about to go back to uni and could use the money.
Thanks for all the love for this piece it means the world!
Taskmaster is legitimately the best show ever like. Five comedians compete for zero money and minimal prestige, which means they’re all there to have fun and cause chaos and you can tell that theyre all enjoying it. The two hosts have a weird psychosocial bdsm dynamic and they make it everyone’s problem and they both actively consent to it and enjoy it. They have fancy chairs and a house on a golf course that get destroyed regularly. Everyone embarrasses themselves and has a great time doing it. The host whos the “sub” and regularly gets verbally and at times physically abused by every single person on the show organizes everything including a large portion of the abuse. They put every single episode for free on youtube along with lots of bonus content so that every single person can watch it. They have a ton of memes and references and Easter eggs hidden all around but it doesnt limit your enjoyment if you miss something. You find yourself rooting for a special little guy but its equally fun when your special little guy looses. You can pop it on in the background and tune in when you see something funny and laugh but it also makes great background noise. They even have a cow.
And all my head can think about is Luke Skywalker saying “no, I’m not autistic because of vaccines or any other crap, I think I’m autistic because a guy who loves machines more than people since they’re easier to understand decided to have babies with a woman whose entire personality can be described as "administrative legislations and civil law”“
it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of “I’m a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS” girl no it doesn’t. that’s meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
I’d say that rejecting biological determinism in favor of space gas determinism isn’t the slay the astrology queers think it is but if I’m being completely honest I fear that many members of our community haven’t even really rejected biological determinism so much as sprinkled a layer of glitter on it
yes that’s how confirmation bias works
People get their panties up in a twist about astrology because they think it’s people shoving themselves into boxes that are not pre-existing.
Most people who like astrology like it because it reflects things about themselves that they relate to that they have difficulty vocalizing themselves. And things like doing a chart reading can allow you to gaze deeply into yourself
my body is a machine that turns every fridged character into someone narratively alive and significant despite their death
I love you character whose death propels the story forward and alters it so irrevocably that from now on the story WILL be about you without you being in it and it will keep on being about you no matter anything
