I Actually Can't Survive Without One On My Wrist; I Have One Of Those Brains That Lacks A Time Sense

Oh noooo...SUCH a shame...

losing my mind bro they took free tmnt 03 episodes off of youtube.............

SO psyched!

more physical copies of WATSON'S SKETCHBOOK are arriving soon! I will be opening the site for sales on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1 at 9:00am PST/12:00 noon EST/4:00pm GMT. Last time they sold out quite quickly, so I recommend setting an alarm if you want one from this batch!

Here is the link for the shop where you can find them (as well as other comics!)

WATSON'S SKETCHBOOK is a 178 page zine of sketches and comics from the Sherlock Holmes canon, which I've been posting in webcomic form on tumblr and my newsletter. Ships worldwide.

obligatory cat+books post under cut:

TOAST!

Ok but this reads like the last log of a doomed voyage, I swear.

Spock Must Die? Of all ST books?! On the plus side, you won't have to worry about 'mistakenly' taking something as racist.

XD

Set out to read all (I know it's HUNDREDS) of the published Star Trek novels as a new hobby/reading challenge.

Started with Mission to Horatius by Mack Reynolds. Needless to say, it was... fascinating (?). There were some pretty backwards and outright racist themes throughout the book. Which kind of (not really) makes sense, as it was written in 1968. (I mean come on, why are we comparing Spock's physical features to satan? Multiple times?! Or, do I 'mistakenly' take it as racist because I'm naturally quick to think that Spock is Jewish coded because of Nimoy's portrayal? OR. MAYBE. We just don't characterize nice aliens as satanic?) I also didn't much enjoy the characterization of Jim. He didn't have the same compassion and empathy that I'm used to seeing in shows/movies and reading in fanfiction.

Also, while the United Federation of Planets ‘isn't a military entity' it's heavily written like one in this novel. Which goes to show the lack of radical and imaginative thinking of what a universe 'without social issues' would be. Even if that’s in a far off future where such issues are ‘outdated’.

Besides that, Bones, they could never make me hate you. The most sensible person inside that damn tin can. The Enterprise is toast without its good ol' country doctor ❤️

I'm excited to read the other novels written by the different authors though! It's neat to see the varying interpretations of this universe and its characters! Next on the list is, Spock Must Die!

I GOT ONE! Third time's the charm :D . Seriously tho all of my friends and coworkers know of this quest, I'm gonna do so much bragging with zero context

📚Watson's Sketchbook PREORDER!📚

Hello! In response to ~unprecedented levels of demand~ for print versions of Watson's Sketchbook Volume 1, I'm doing another print run, and will be opening preorders here on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, at 9:00am PST/12:00 noon EST/5:00pm GMT.

DETAILS:

-This run is much larger than the two previous ones, but still limited, so being prompt is a good idea. Last time it sold out in 2 minutes, I do not think that will happen this time, but...early bird, etc.

-They will take a bit longer to arrive than previous orders, but should arrive for everyone by the end of January 2025, print- and shipping-gods willing. Thanks in advance for your patience, as I'm working with a small press printer and a small local distributor.

-If your address changes before the book ships, you can always send a message to the shop to update it. In general, any messages or questions about shipping should be sent there rather than by reaching out to me on here.

-I'm really hoping this run is large enough so that everyone who wants one can get it! Thank you always for your support of this ridiculous project that has consumed my life (positive) and for your support of independent art and queer art!

the realest part of this that Disturbed me was the implication that some part of modern airplanes is considered 'flesh'

TIL: Paper airplanes were not created to mimic real airplanes. They predate them.

I don’t think any movie will make me feel the same ethereal sense of otherworldly sorrow and disembodied awe as that scene in Lord of the Rings where the loyal son is sent off into a doomed battle to please his vindictive father while Pippin sings a mourning song of his people

I was like 12 and high off this shit

tfw you find out your peaceful jedi boyfriend uses slurs

A fantastic point! Never made the connection to the real world 'everyman' duelist, but it makes so much sense.

Although I did always think it was hilarious that in a universe where chance outcomes can be demonstrably affected by circumstances (morality, determination, rule of cool...), a guy with neither destiny nor money on his side pulled ahead of the competition by *building a deck around gambling.*

big fan of how much of a bitch he is

This, this right here, is what I love about their early dynamic . The vibe is very much 'firefighter saving a vicious struggling feral cat from a burning building.'

Who’s gonna save him if we don’t?

Hope is a lie if you mistake it for a promise. No, hope is a gamble. A chance that it might work out in your favour. A possibility that those odds are worth the risk. A cornered rat does not launch to bite a dog in the face with absolute confidence that it will escape with its life.

It attacks for the chance that it might.
