Marisa Is Having Nightmares

We got what seems like a professor teaching a class about a super ancient culture no one believes in, political drama, paranoia, and potentially gay romance?

Voice acting for Dominus wasnt my favorite, so im gonna put it on the back burner for now. Modes on the other hand... 😳😏 2nd and 3rd episode went in an... interesting direction. Definitely going to continue.

Ok, first episode of Modes is really interesting, gonna try Dominus tomorrow night.

Ok, my plan is to fill the void with another podcast or two. Modes in Anterran Literature or Dominus (another Rusty Quill podcast that sounds promising). Or hey, maybe both!

Have they said anything more specific than "spring"?

All caught up on The Magnus Protocol so I guess all thats left to do now is wither away into a husk during the hiatus. The hiatus that they've not given an exact end date to 🥲

Yep! It makes the world feel more connected. Like the distant parent language (proto indo european?) Is peeking out now and then.

After studying latin in school, its really weird and cool to see similar sounding words come up while studying Ukrainian or Russian.
Its like finding little Easter eggs as you learn new words. Makes language learning feel less like islands and more like a big connected web.

Oh my gosh those are amazing!!

Love to see Barkers abarat paintings out in the wild! Now if only he would finish the series 😅

Maybe? I thought there was a girl and boy main character and that one is two boys. I could be wrong. It looks like the body they found was in a creek and the one I read was a marsh so they could only feel the dead guys hand underwater. Could be Indian creek, but I cant find a full version online 😭

It's so worth it. I especially like the 3rd book High Wizardry

Is your profile pic a painting from Abarat?

That sounds really cool! Reminds me of So You Want to be a Wizard series, where the main character finds a wizard manual because a stray thread hooks her finger as she runs her hand along a row of books.

Oh my gosh this is such a cool cover! So glad you found it. Who did the cross hatched art?

Anyone else have that one book you read as a kid that you just cant remember the title of? Mine was a story about a boy and girl that go into a bog/marsh and discover a dead body under the mud. I think the guy was a murder victim? This would've been written in the 80s or 90s.

Gotta limit myself to "oh yeah its pretty cool" while im literally gnawing at the bars of my enclosure.

Yes, soon the tma brainrot will kick in and theyll be categorizing everything and shipping characters. All while we sit back and wait for the emotional wreckage that's on its way.

Convinced a third coworker to start The Magnus Archives. I had to be so chill about it. Can't let the craziness show yet 😂

So thats whats been getting stuck on my socks

He gets up and walks around at midnight

Sea Dragon

Hahaha amazing

Who... who is that supposed to be? Markiplier..?

Had another scary dream: A guy proposed to me in a waffle house.

Honestly yes! I dont even have seasonal depression this year, as ive got so many art projects to work on 😅. Ive just always had super vivid dreams. This one wasnt even as bad as the cursed freezer box cult dream!

Had a rip roaring nightmare last night for absolutely no reason. And I didnt even get credit for it. My brain decided it was the plot of Guillermo Del Toros next horror movie 🤷‍♀️

Taking name ideas for the new cheese filled bun with garlic butter at the bakery I work at. It's like a hot pocket, but we can't use that name. We came up with some alternatives in back-of-house:
High Temperature Envelopes
The Gooey-Vuitton
