If Nintendo didn’t want so much porn they’d stop making such erotic concepts

Killian, Decisive Mentor, by Billy Christian

I do not like that the Inklings are shaped like birds. Both the art for the Orzhov Ral Zarek and the new Killian have their Inklings shaped like birds. I want the inkblot creatures back.

Sploon ocs!! feat. future Deep Cut sticker lol
I have a lot of drawings I’m in the middle of right now and this was something purely for myself~

Inklings and octolings hair becoming colorless at the tips when their sick

My Splatoon OCs!!! I keep flipping back and forth between making them agents and making them fully independent from the main Splatoon gent stories. Well except for my 8 lol. I also don’t have a name for her besides 8. In the initial sketch I was playing around with the idea of Juice who would be my agent 3 (og) having some scarring from Tartar but kinda forgot about testing it out when I moved to coloring so if you see future drawings with her scarred that’s why.

Some conflicting world views in my plaza this evening.

It makes sense to be a bit humble

The societies of our continent are, for the most part, divided between monarchies and republics. However, all of them have a democratic system in a fully developed sense. The Greek philosopher Aristotle categorized nations in three kinds, aristocracies, oligarchies and democracies. We often still speak about an aristocracy, for the simple reason that there is still a dominant upper-class. A truly blue-blooded elite is not necessarily the norm anymore in our world, but it is all a matter of interpretation. Obviously, people organise themselves into cliques, and these will grow into various breeds.

It seems to me that there is nothing more solemn than a complete loyalty to a king. The king represent both the representation of divine authority in this world as the rule of law in the land. These two elements, God and law, are the true benefits of mankind. If you ask me, the human race is ennobled only to the extent that he submits and operates according to some function of law, and he is glorious only to the extent that he participates in the glory of the Creator. When we see how men seek blindly for things “to die for” - hedonism, art, consanguinity or even anarchy - we can only giggle to ourselves when we realize the monolithic augustness of the constitutional state. Be that as it may, when we study the world’s constitutions, we are revealed a stout lack of higher values. In a way, the older law systems gave the people a clearer sense of their place in the world than the contemporary ones. But to deny people a constitution is to deny them self-availment: even Aristotle said that all people should be free, as far as possible; and to deny people independence, the very credential of maturity, is to keep them locked in the proverbial cave of Plato, to watch the shadows of the world rather than the world itself.

The best example of maturity is the theme of redemption. We find this even in the Bible. Jesus spoke of the prodigal son, who was welcomed back by his father, for in his return he became truly human.

Let’s put it out there into the universe 🙏

[INKlings must have placed these as markers at all exits.]

“In a distance he discerned a shed by the side of the road, broke into a run, and, reaching it, took shelter {from the pouring rain} with a bound which landed him in a shallow puddle lying just within the dark entrance. “Oh, damn and blast!” he cried with a great voice. “Why was this bloody world created?””

Same, Mornington, same

“To love is not worth it. The benefits, whatever they are, are mostly a comfort from the relentless emptiness of being human, a separate being alone in the world.”

— The Coin, by Yasmin Zaher

While we’re on the topic of plugs for community-generated literature:

The Falling Tower is a novella by a friend of mine. It’s about an AI-facilitated breakdown of the world’s metaphysics, and also about the experience of being an undergrad at Harvard, and also about how cool Charles Williams is.

It’s real good! You should check it out.

October 2025 featuring Splatoon

octopuses are our ancestors! Like squids are for inklings!

the universe I come from is in the far future, where mammals are extinct. Some sea creatures then evolved to walk on land!

When the octopus evolved in this way, it created us, octolings! ☆

we don’t have 8 legs, but we do have 8 limbs! We have 2 arms, 2 legs, and 4 tentacles that look a tiny bit similar to your hair!

thank you for the ask! ☆

I’m reading War in Heaven by Charles Williams, primarily becauae the friend who loaned it to me said “This book is weird but apparently CS Lewis liked it. I hated it. Maybe you shouldn’t bother.”

And I have so many thoughts …

1. Love that format of recommendation. 10/10 friend, doesn’t hesitate to recommend something I may despise and is honest about it.

2. I have read a ridiculous number of books written in England during the interwar period, and I’m still having trouble following everything going on in this one. It’s so full of oblique references that are just not part of my daily milieu, that it is intellectual work to connect the dots and go “Oh that was supposed to be funny. That part was satire.”

3. There’s a reason this book didn’t have the longevity of Narnia and Middle Earth.

4. I think I now understand why Tolkien didn’t particularly like Williams.

Excited to start this one!
