This comic has the title Plutonium 35 above it, which was what I called this comic, because I found an old hat that had P35 on it, and I never knew what it stood for, and one day I suggested Plutonium 35 to my nerd roommate who said, "That would be SO unstable." And then he said, "Like you. So, you know, keep it." Right. 1st panel: We had Atticus Funt, a white, blonde, trans woman still mostly presenting male sitting in her room, wearing overalls, a long sleeve shirt, tennies, and a bandana tying her hair back. Sje is rubbing at one eye, and saying, "Yay yay! All moved in! -wuf-" Which is, like, an actual quote or something, from when I moved in, and my room mate yelled "DID YOU JUST SAY 'YAY YAY'?" across the hall. Behind her is a chair and a drafting table, and to her right is a book case with a 8.5 x 11 Buffy poster. There are cardboard boxes around her that have the words "big books", "little books", and "zillaz" written on them. Trust me, this is going somewhere. Panel the 2nd: Almost exactly the same as panel 1, but she seems to be looking around her in contemplation. Panel 3: Same same, but looking towards the other side of the room. It's a timing thing, Panel 4: The boxes have been repurposed, with windows and doors drawn on them, one of the box building's entrances has the word "Bank" over the doors. Another has "School". These are not convincing edifices. There is a toy car on the ground, while an He-Man action figure stands atop the school. Atticus has dressed herself in a cheap dinosaur costume, and is kicking the bank as she stomps around. She has tossed a Boba Fett action figure into the air, heedless of its final destination in her throes of destructive ecstasy. The word RAAAAARRRRR!!! is written above her, with THREE exclamation marks, which we all know is the sign of a mind that would name her comic "Plutonium 35". Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
My friends and I as our rock band avatars: Eeriely enough, the bald white guy in a hot pink button down with a neon orange tie, grey-green slacks, checkered vans and a grey trench coat with a superman emblem on the shoulder looks almost exactly like my friend in real life. He played base, and the picture has one slung over his shoulder. His character's name is Jaime Mecdrox. Crouched at his feet, no shoes, blue jeans and an oversized sweater in the rans pride colors, a white woman with long blond hair and sharp straight-across bangs glares at the viewer with red eyes. She is holding an umbrella with its tip resting on the ground. This is Dani Utah, and she looks nothing like me. I love singing, and I am only half bad at it, Behind Dani is Syf, our drummer. She is a HUGE Hispanic woman with white hair don up with Viking braids. She has a tight black t-shirt with Viking longboat motifs on the front in orange. She is wearing tight dark jeans with dark biker boots that reach almost to her knees. This is the only time my macho cis-het Mexican friend ever suffered female representation. It was kinda cool. Off to the side from these three is Reg Inchmale, A man dressed mostly in black clothes seemingly tailored to his figure, He is white as well, shit, black hair and horseshoe moustache. He stands with one hand in his pocket, and the other is holding a cherry red guitar, neck pointed downward. His black t-shirt has the Rock band symbol for "guitarist: on it in whte, (A thick cirlce surrounding a guitar headstock. This is Mecdrox and the mutants, and they stand in front of a pale picture of the earth's moon. Underneath them is text that reads "Midgardr Tour '23" Yay! I love you! ' kthnxbye!
Tyrannosaurus rex skull on a book shelf!
A blonde, pale skinned android in a grey Mouse House T-Shirt, pink stiped boxers (of which you can see a little), and grey coveralls that are only halfway on. She had brown boots and is covered in grease. She is holding a random machine part and a greasy rag. She also has glow-y blue circuits under her skin, which look like tattoos, I guess? Her eyes have black sclera and yellow irises. It's kinda creepy. Her name is Marva 13.
A sheet for a Starfinder Mech stats, which, when looked at in the light of day, is REALLY badly designed. But what can you expect from the person who named her mech "If I Stop Talking, Absalom Will Explode"? Not much. The mech itself is humanoid, broad shouldered with a barrel chest. The color scheme is orange and a blue-ish green with white detailing. Of course, the number 13 shows up in white, one 13 on the center of the chest one on the left shoulder armor, and one on the right leg, at the bottom of the shin. The head has three lenses on it; a big blue one just off center of the face, a small red one next to that, and a smaller green lens between the two, a little lower. Very Votoms. Very rip-off. There are two antennae sprouting up from the head, and swept back, a little like bunny ears. The mech holds a big black gun in its right hand. The gun looks silly, because I am bad at guns. A small humanoid android woman with pale skin and blonde hair stands at the left foot of the mech. She is wearing a grey flight suit, and she has a monkey on her shoulder. The monkey's name is "Mike Hat". Hilarity ensues. I am not including the text of the page, which includes the stats (hey! "stats" is a palindrome!) of the mech, because I don't think nyone is interested in that ephemera and this is hard to do on a phone. BUT, for reals, if you are interested, just say so in the thread, and i will gladly type them out for you and admit I was wrong. Okay! Bye! I love you!
Piece of cake.
My hand, pale in joy, holding the frigid and still-wrapped treat that IS the Nutty Buddy. Delicate, crisp wafers sandwiched betwixt thin layers of some sort of peanut butter analog, covered in a thin coating of what can be favorably compared to chocolate. Taken straight from the freezer, it is a cooling ambrosia which holds back summer's intemperate inferno, and pushes back Sol itself, causing that burning daystar to hide its cursed visage. They're super terrible and I love them so much!
An Uncle Deadly toy being held by a weird white moan's hand. Uncle deadly is blue, with maybe kind of a canine face maybe, and he has eyes with black sclera and yellow pupils. He has two kinda ibex-y blue horns at the back of his head, and a tentacle-y sorta beard? He is dressed as a late 19th century chimney sweep, and his clothes have seen better days. He has four-fingered hands. and three-toed feets, and a blue Snuffleupagus tail
A bunch of monsters and robots on a desk.there is a Gigan and a Mothra and a Gamera and a Godzilla and an Ultraman and a Macross Valkyrie and a Godzilla and a Mechagodzilla and a triceratops rubber duckie and things
So Joes, of GI Joe fame. Two 1982 all-black Snake Eyes, Duke, Snow-Job (I think?), um...Guy Soldier, Gun Shooter, Grenade Haver, Secretly Gay, and Steve. I may have made up a few of those names. Look. I had a crush on/wanted to be Scarlet, okay? She was the reason to watch GI Joe. Maybe Lady Jay and even less maybe Jinx. And probably the Baroness. I don't know! They had a guy named Skid Mark, okay?
Big Rhed's scaly, betoothed jaws reaching down to bravely hug a white guy in a blue cap and long coat who just shot him. It's all in black and white, but I am assuming the coat and cap are blue. Also, a few old cars!
Harlene Quinzel, a white woman with blonde hair and very blue eyes holds up a document with the header "Arkham Asylum" written across the top. The patient's name is written as "Harley Quinn", which, I guess the docs at the asylum aren't about deadnaming their patients, and good for them? Also, there is a big red stamp of "SANE" across the paper. She is showing this to a red-headed white woman we only see in profile.
The Buckaroo Banzai comic book, with a great painting of BB himself, some of the Hong Kong Cavaliers, a few Blue Blaze Irregulars and Penny Priddy. Dr. Emilio Lizardo's (John Worfin) face hangs over the august assemblage of heros, and the Banzai Industries' 1984-model Jet Car races across the desert overhead. Then there is a sheet of Star Wars puffy stickers with all the stickers minus one! Boba Fett, a stormtrooper, C-3PO, R2D2, Yoda, a HUGE Darth Vader and best of all, an Imperial Probe Droid! 💚 Woohoo, friends!
The cover to Cosmoknights, featuring our protagonist Pan, a young white lady with red hair in a pixie cut. She is wearing a white T-shirt, a red jacket with sleeves rolled up to her elbows, fingerless gloves, blue jeans rolled up to near mid-shin, white socks and brown boots that go to just above her ankle. The two titular Cosmoknights stand just a little behind her to her right and left. Cass, an absolute pillar of a woman, stands to her right. She is pale complexioned, with a blond, tight haircut. V. butch. She is dressed in white and grey power armor with red highlights and is carrying a lance. To her left is Bee, a Black woman with an equally military styled coiffure. She is wearing glasses, and has an orange bolero-cut jacket over grey armor with orange highlights, and she has a futuristic rifle sling over her shoulder. Behind them is and image if a fist raised in the air, grasping a round locket with a glowing white crystal in its center. Inside this book are many scenes and words that are well-calculated to cause delight to many a queer reader, or fans of 80s sci-fi and manga.
A picture of a box of Little Debbie Nutty Buddies. Nutty Buddy, formerly known as Nutty Bars, are a snack manufactured by McKee Foods under the Little Debbie brand since 1959. The snack consists of four wafers sandwiched together in a peanut butter mixture and covered with a "chocolatey coating". Why is "chocolatey coating" in scare quotes? Because it probably has about as much to with chocolate as I have to do with Olympic triathlons. But they are so yummy if you stick them in the freezer for a few hours, especially when it is hot outside.
Four panel comic. Second of the Devil Girl and Moon Dinosaur line. The comic is titled "Devil Girl and Moon Dinosaur in: She's a Little Hoarse" Panel one: Devil Girl sits with her knees drawn up to her chin, leaning back against the enormous Moon Dinosaur, who is looking pretty relaxed about it. She is a pale girl with a pony tail hairstyle and a devil tail for real. She also has two large-ish horns on her forehead. Devil Girl holds a phone, which keeps booping! Panel the two: close up on Devil Girl, who still has phone in hand. "Man," she says, "Shelbie is always turning herself into something weird." Devil Girl's phone is still booping. 3td panel: Devil Girl continues. "And then she sends me all these pictures!" We see the screen of Devil Girl's phone, and we see a picture of a young woman who has turned herself into one of the horse people of Greek myth. There is a text above the pic which reads "Hot or not?" Final panel: we back out to see Devil Girl still leaning against the chest of Moon Dinosaur. Devil Girl looks up at Moon Dinosaur, declaring of Shelbie, "She's so self-centaured." That's it That the terrible comic. Goog night everybunny!
Ancient and occult bits of plastic from the original run of Star Wars figures, many of which I would have traded away my lunch for in a heartbeat as a kid. Friends, we have a Han Solo who has had a tough time of it, a snowtrooper, Lobot, a stormtrooper, 2 copies of droids that look like C-3PO, but during COVID, Princess Leia, 2 Jawas (minus their cute material robes), White guy with a moustache (maybe bespin security guy?), an AT/AT pilot, C-3PO, the medical droid (who I wanted SO bad!), Walrus Man, 2 Boba Fetts, Hammerhead!, a snow speeder pilot who may be Luke? I am so bad at this, 2 Snaggletooths (TEETH), and Captain bandages the bounty hunter (Dengar?) Anyway. I love them. They are all my boyfriends, except Leia, who is my cool older sister, warning me about dating twins
It kinda looks like and old school space station or star base? A big grey mushroom cap kind guy, with antennae on top? Then a cylindrical body that narrows the farther it extends from the mushroom cap, with four spindles extending out symmetrically from near the bottom of the body, each with a round, flat platform at the end of the extending arm? Figure the robuts could come and leave from those platforms? I dunno. I am probably drunk.
Very upside down horseshoe crab here, where you can see the shape of the actual animal, under the silhouette of the shell. An old lady's hand holds a grey and black LEGO spaceshorp, that looks kinda like a militarized jumbo jet? It's not BAD, but I am also worried it's not GOOD. Um.
Um. This shot is terrible. But it is a grey spaceship that looks like a plane, maybe? But with a big disk in top? Really, it's a terrible shit but it's too late at night to retake it. Sorry.
From Macross, it is a recon ship which has a huge disk on top of it. It looks so much cooler than anything I have made.
The top of the ship which is just a grey circle. With some bits sticking out. I haven't thought this through very well.
This is the big guy in the red fleet. A capital ship with a weirdly long antenna thing behind its bridge? It is a mixture of dark grey, grey and red bricks, and kind of resembles a submarine and a battleship combined, but not really? There are six round ports running along the length of the ship which I imagine as either launching bays for fighting space robuts or maybe cannons? Whoever plays these melon farmers will get to decide for themselves, guess?
A picture of a messy table with 24 LEGO spaceships, the main groupings being yellow, orange, and red in theme.
The new yellow spotter ship. It looks more submarine-y and feels like it fits better with the yellow 's general builds. I wish I were better at taking pictures of these things.
The shambles of a secret, 6th orange fleet spaceshoro, amidst a rubble of loose LEGO.
The 5th orange ship. All boom alla the time As my work brothers would say, "gracious me, Ms. Sammie, but yon battlewagon does seem to have a gratuitous amount of dakka. Oh my days, but it does seem a trifle egregious, when it comes to armament!" Only, probably, with a very cockney accent? I don't know! Any way, it looks very battle-shipy with many long guns and cannons and nine irons and shooty bits. It is also grey and orange, with most of the orange bits just being greeble, all hail LucasArts.
A snap of my phone screen because I don't know how to share a link directly to the .pdf. But if you search for "mobile frame zero intercept orbit pdf" the first or second hit is usually a link to the full .pdf on glyphpress.com The rules are pretty spare, and the lion's share of the document is fluffy fluffy fiction.
The little guy who runs around and makes it easier to punch everybody else! The Spotter, as it were, not super good for much else. He looks kinda like a long, thin rod, with orange and grey stripes. There are three flat disks spaced evenly across the top of the ship, with the third at the back sporting a transparent, blue round thingy in the middle of it. Two round protuberances extend from both port and starboard of the ship, directly under the first two disks. From the bottom, near the rear of the ship, extends a strange bridge, shaped strangely like landing gear sans wheels, from another LEGO set.
3 crows, viewed through a dirty storm door window, which window may or may not have been pooped on by snails. It was. It was pooped on. Anyway, these three weirdos are hopping about on a patio chair, thinking they are pretty cool. And they are Heaven help me they are so cool and I want them to be my friends so much I may cry myself to sleep again tonight because they are not.
Panel from Dream Girls volume 2. An orange background, with Dreamer, a dark haired, pale-complexioned trans woman dressed in a grey-brown trenchcoat, white collared shirt, navy tie and high waisted grey-blue slacks with a black belt. Basically dressed as John Constantine. She has her hands outstretched in a vaguely occult mannerism, and pink sigils stretch out over her head. In the foreground, we see the shoulders and head of Galaxy, another trans woman with violet skin, and two sets of horns on her head. The first set are wear a typical human's ears might be, the second emerging from her temples, then arcing up to l meld together over the back of her head. She has turquoise hair with bangs. Her face is in profile, and she looks concerned, as pink and white energy surges around her shoulders. Dreamer! Don't be naughty!
An ink drawing of Rogue, of X-Men fame. I drew her in her Jim Lee outfit, with her jacket, green and yellow bodysuit, knee high boots and longer hair. Not my favorite of her ensembles, but an easier one to draw. Thanks, 90s X-Men!
Front view of the robut. He looks kinda like a green and off white Martian duck in this shot? I don't know what I am doing
A young, white woman with brown hair in a high ponytail stands in a museum. She is wearing a rink and white long sleeved shirt, denim overalls, tan converse shoes and a green backpack. She has on earphones that cover her whole eats, and she is looking up at a display of a Allosaurus skeleton. Behind her is a a brown and white monster with big yellow eyes and dark brown horns. It is looking up at a skeleton of a Barosaurus. They are both in the foyer of a museum with a very tall ceiling, and there is a message which reads "I support THIS kind of data center". Because I do. Museums are very neat, especially if they have dinosaurs in them.
Briana Middleton as Molly Millions, a razor girl involved in the Straylight Run in William Gibson's Neuromancer. She is a woman of color with dark hair cut in a rough shag to her jawline. The jacket is black with almost samurai shoulders and this weird sloping almost turtleneck. I am too tired to describe it very well.
An ancient, chubby hand holds three trading cards, each red-bordered bearing photos and names of their subjects. Two of these goofballs are named "Gus"! Gus #1 is a large hound mix mix a brown muzzle and black fur. Gus #2 is a weird monster dog with possible corgi lineage? Or third hero is a Shih Tzu named "Miso", and she is just silly. Someone had to say it! I will love these dogs forever.
A little black jumping spider. I think maybe a Bold or Regal? Super cute.
This is a shot of what some of my Mobile Frames look like, built for playing the base Mobile Frame Zero game. Here I have six LEGO models of humanoid-esque mecha, ranging from an inch to nearly two inches tall. These guys are all dusty brown and grey and look a little silly, because it is hard to make tiny LEGO robuts look intimidating. Also, there is a little grey humvee-looking truck guy, with a MASER cannon on its back.
A little yellow bee-looking shuttle guy. I'm imagining it's maybe a tug ship, or it carries breakfast cereal for the fleet? I don't know! They might LOVE breakfast cereal! What, do hate Trix? Man. I've never seen such Cheerio hatred. Get it together, weirdo.
The first shorp I made for this game, and it looks suspiciously like an aircraft carrier. It has a smattering of guns and cannons all about it is person, and a flat space for the first one third of the shorp's body. It has two yellow runners parallel to each other, with caution black and yellow stripes running the length between the two lines of runners. These are the "catapults" and the the only way to launch frames, which are the mechs of this game setting. So I gave this guy THREE black pips, to really take care of my robuts.
A frigate-sized LEGO spaceship. The thing I like about the spaceship game is that you can put little pips on the bases of the ships to keep track of the systems your spaceship has. This guy is a carrier of sorts, so it gets a black pip for its catapults. That means it can roll a black die to throw robuts at the bad guys with impunity. The blue pips means it gets a die of defense. Two red pips means it gets two red dice to see how hard it punched other spaceships in the face. Then two white wild dice to do weird stuff.
Side view of my very simplified LEGO version of the Enterprise. Grey bricks with red transparent goobers for the front of the nacelles. I don't know if I spelled "nacelles" correctly?
A grey LEGO rendition of the Starship Enterprise. It is terrible.
Side view of the spaceship. It is grey and yellow with a bunch of cannons and a deck where robuts can take off and land and be mean to other spaceships. It is LEGO.
Movie poster for The Explorers, a 1985 sci-fi wonder for the first 2/3 of the movie The poster shows a small arc of the planet earth, with some sort of spherical, ramshackle vehicle streaking away from it. The top of the poster is dominated by the heads of the films three young stars, with two of their names; River Phoenix and Ethan Hawk, testing below those heads. Below that? The movie's title, Explorers.
Almost behind the stage, top level.
Pancakes, eggoos, and sausage.
On a bridge, going towards San Francisco. There are many cars, many tall buildings, and many smogs.
A long, empty stretch of road. Winnemucca iny rearview mirror, mystery of the void ahead. My meds might not be working.
The British movie poster for One Million Years B.C., featuring Raquel Welch in her famous fur bikini.
Mothra's larval form made into a plushie!
Megalon, done in the colors of the trans pride flag, saying Trans Men Rock! (I don't know why, but Megalon always gave trans masc energy to me.)
A white, blue-eyed woman with her blond hair in a braid. She is wearing a hooded brown robe over a white, high collared shirt with a sort of brown dress robe thing. She is holding an inactivated light saber in left hand. The text reads, FACT: Trans Jedis never turn to the dark side. We're not Sith-gender. In the distance, you have a sketch of Chewbacca reacting negatively to what is objectively the greatest pun of this or any other century, and I cannot help but feeling very disappointed with this Wookie, because his puns are SO MUCH worse
A two panel cartoon! It's so good! The first panel features an awesomely anthropomorphic dog boy in shorts, a T-shirt and a ball cap. The dogboy is stepping forward to a dais, a book entitled "Sad Dog Book" in his right hand. The dais contains the inscription "Book it, the Demon Dog Prince of Hell", and directly above the the dias is an irritated dog head wearing a collar and a crown, wreathed in flames. The dog boy shouts, "I read Where the Red Fern Grows! Give unto ME what is Mine!" The flaming dog head Prince of Hell replies "So be it!" The second panel shows the dog boy cackling maniacally, holding a smoking box with the Pizza Hut logo. Bookit, the Demon Dog Prince of Hell glowers in infernal satisfaction. "Behold," says he, "the wages of carnal knowledge! A PERSONAL PAN PIZZA!" IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
EUTHYMOL! Friends, these Korean healthy breath mints, cradled lovingly in my sister's hands, are called EUTHYMOL! After all the "Youth in Asia" jokes my pap made, I don't think I can handle this!
A picture of Justice Elena Kagan, with the quote: I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is--or now, more accurately, was--one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our nation's history. It was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality, and has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed--not the members of this court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority's now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.
Three comics! The Justice League Intergalactic Special, Thundarr the Barbarian issue 3, and The Uncanny X-Men issue 27. Yay!
A cover of Dynamite, a teeny-bopper mag from the 70s and I think the part of the 80s? This one features Henry Winkler as Happy Days' Arthur Fonzarelli, or, as he is titled in the blurb, Fonzie!
So what you have here is your basic spider-lady-centaur type-person who has the torso and head and arms of a pale-complexioned woman with dark hair in a loose bun. She is wearing round lens glasses and an over-sized, off the shoulder comfy sweater in grey and dark-pink stripes. Her torso is joined to where the head of a giant spider would have been. The spider port of her body is colored like a yellow garden spider, with orange and black legs and a yellow and black abdomen. She is tugging at a lead with both hands, and the lead is attached to a red harness, which in turn is attached to a giant green caterpillar, who is tugging at the lead. The spider woman is yelling "Gosh DARN it, Carl!" Carl is the caterpillar. Okay. That's all. I love you, and abolish ICE!
A frog decked out in the colors of the pride progress flag. Eyes are black with brown rings, then trans colors on the head, the gay rainbow colors running down the back of the frog onto its legs until the back feet hit the trans colors again, then POC representation hits the toes. The frog is illustrated on top of a photograph of a yummy brownie. Probably with choco chips, because of reasons. The text reads: Have Pride, Be Frog, Eat Brownie. Then I signed that thing with a heart and my name. Which is Samantha/ Good night! I love you!
