Shows up at your house in a hazmat suit with a flamethrower
Doctor calls you with your bloodwork results and just says “I’m really mad at you” and then hangs up
Daughter of the void Left out and annoyed Vengeant, quick to resent
Torch and snake and knife Controverse and strife For my pleasure and merriment
Morlocks - "The Golden Goddess"
My version of Eris was inspired both by the Greek myths and by Discordianism, a belief system from the 1960s in which chaos and discord are thought to be just as important as order. When I recently heard the song "The Golden Goddess" (about Discordian Eris) by the industrial rock band Morlocks, I just had to draw my version of Eris.
I did in fact get some sexual encounters ruined by laughing
Hey, your arms are going to shake when you hold yourself above someone for a while during missionary. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey, your thighs and lower back are going to start aching eventually, and you'll need to change positions or slow down. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey, your tummy is going to make noises when you're anxious during your first few times with them. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey, you're going to burst out giggling sometimes. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey, you're going to dislike one, two, or a few things you thought you would've liked. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey, you're going to struggle to finish sometimes. Or keep it in. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey, you're going to stumble around sometimes. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey, you're going to need to take a few deep breaths sometimes. It won't ruin the moment.
Hey. You won't ruin the moment.
And if they say that you have, they don't deserve a moment with you.

People hypothesize that Elon Musk's child's gender transition was the thing that pushed him off the edge and turned him into what we see now. I don't know if it's true, but if it is, it's so supremely ironic. They _told us_ that transgender ideology will bring the western civilization down, but we didn't listen!
You tell your cowgirl gf you want to bring toys into the bedroom and she brings out a handsaw, a vaguely rake-like implement, and two semispheroidal objects with handles
I love talking to kids about disability bc
1. they often just Get It, and
2. they have 0 concept of disability as a tragedy or something pitiable.
I've watched kids get into an argument with a teacher bc they thought wheelchairs were cool. I told a kid that I can't stand for too long sometimes and they replied, "That's okay, I can't do cartwheels sometimes, but I just do other stuff then. You can sit down with me if you want". Today a girl asked me what the headphones on a classmate's desk were for and I told her that headphones are important for some kids because noises bother them, and she said she wished she had headphones at home, because her baby brothers make a lot of noise and it makes it hard to think. The idea that different people could use tools at different times is intuitive and simple and when accessibility aids are explained neutrally, kids don't see them as bad or unfortunate, they're just things that are useful.
Even mental disability!! In Kindergarten the other day one of the kids asked me why his table partner got stickers when nobody else did. I started off by saying, "Well, when you do your work well, it feels good, right? That's your brain giving you a reward," and the kid just right away went, "Oh, and the stickers are like his reward?" YES! You are 5 and have a better grasp on ADHD than most adults! Kids blow me away every day.
Unbelievably dire.. how did we get here
