Sorry Guys. Can’t Come In Today. The Creature

Hello. Update.

Still in Germany but will be leaving in a few days.

Fourcast owes me more than $20 for the past two months.

i think the reason british ppl make such good punk music is bc their country sucks so much shit and ass

I FUCKING LIED SHIT IS NOT CHILLER IN GERMANY

TAPS S.E. Disclosure - The Pink Desert

I got permission from Fourcast to disclose some of my experiences with TAPS, so here's some art I made after an S.E. (sleeping episode)! I lovingly call it the Pink Desert (for obvious reasons) - last time I checked 4CL hasn't been able to pin down when/where this is, so the Pink Desert will have to do. Being able to document and communicate what I experience during a TAPS episode is vital not only for my work at the Lab, but for other 4CL branches as well. I'm not the best at drawing or painting or anything like that, so I usually go with making collages that are as close to what I witnessed as I can get them, paired with some note-taking to get down as many details as possible. Some fun note excerpts from this S.E. are:

"-Despite the desert-like appearance of surroundings, climate was cold and dry with consistent, blustering winds" "-Probable that fine-particle terrain underfoot is garnet (or a similar mineral) that has been weathered by environmental factors - large deposits of garnet were seen scattered across the landscape, some with visibly scratched or otherwise eroded facades" "-Coloration of the atmosphere would suggest high chlorine gas content, yet wavering patterns like Earth's aurora borealis were also observed, which indicate electrons interacting with an oxygen-rich upper atmosphere. Chlorine is a poor conductor of heat and electricity; atmospheric content remain uncertain"

It's probably clear that Fourcast didn't hire me for my stellar environmental sciences knowledge (lmao), but even my rough guestimates can help the actual environmental science Fourcasters figure out what's going on. But yeah! First disclosure from my personal vault :). Overall it was a pretty calm episode, despite being a bit cold and waking up with a really dry mouth. Never know what you're gonna get with TAPS, thankfully this time around it was a beautiful, mysterious, pink desert.

Always open to answering any questions about my life with TAPS, feel free to drop a message in the ask box! The images I used to make this collage were sourced from Pinterest - the particular images I used can be found here!

god i need to make crochet tapestries so god damn bad

I graduated today! Yippee!

Pounding my fists on the ground I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S A NEW BOOK IN THE INKWORLD SERIES CORNELIA FUNKE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS TO ME!!!!

I think technically Dragon Rider was my first Funke book which led me to Inkheart, which I would say is the single book that has had the greatest impact on my life. I finally finished reading the entire trilogy while in college and I LOVED it, absolutely mind blowing that there's a new book in the series and I have it and I'm reading it!!!

The cover art is absolutely beautiful (I have the Karl James Mountford & Steve Wells design), reading it so far has been like returning to my first home, I am so excited and so happy.

Next level would be rereading the series in the original German (finding out Funke is German was probably also what initially sparked my interest in actually learning the language, moreso than even knowing that I come from a German background lmao).

I eventually want to get the entire series in hardcover variants - I was a child when I bought the original books and the years are definitely showing on the softcovers :').

Anyway Cornelia you mean everything to me.

Crying sobbing throwing up falling over @lem0ngh0stt DREW ME AT WORK!!! :'))))) he captured the chaotic nature of my desk and my love of pins and sparkling water. He even threw in my cat, Hypnos, though unfortunately she does not often accompany me to the lab. Anyway I love this and my friends :]

This is probably the most 4CL-unrelated thing I will ever post BUT this is an absolute feat by polkadotjohnson doing incredible work to recover lost media(? I'm pretty sure it was considered lost media but I may be wrong) and honestly I'm blown away that they pulled this off

PLEASE READ

Do not upload this anywhere, especially not on YouTube.

This is an unfinished cut, not a final edit, not the final product. But it is here. And it was worth the hunt.

Okay I've slept off my edible and double-checked with 4CL. I am actually flying to Germany early July for work. God gives His silliest clowns His funniest battles.
