PSA for people planning to vote in the OTW election: there's pretty good evidence that the candidate Audrey R. ran for Congress as a Republican just last year. Check ballotpedia for "Audrey Richards". This isn't a person I'd trust with our works.

Oh dear.
Due to a combination of the residual childhood trauma hypervigilance and ADHD selective processing I am constantly on both ends of the spectrum of being aware of things. Did I notice the way someone shifted their arm in a manner that they usually don't, indicating that they may be irate with this situation? Yes. Did I notice that conversation in this room is not drifting towards a subject that these people would naturally talk about next, indicating that they are avoiding the subject? of course. Did I notice that the person who frequently parks here has removed that sticker from their car? Yeah clearly. Did I notice that truck almost hitting me? No.
My brain is the box that Schrödinger's cat is in, and there is no knowing whether I am aware of everything or absolutely nothing of what's going on unless you crack it open and check. Before that, I exist simultaneously in both the states of hyper-awareness and not being aware of jack fucking shit.
Venom adopts a needy puppy from the local animal shelter. Spiderman, like a fucking asshole, drives his loudass vroom.mp3 motorcycle by, upsetting the peace of said shelter. Venom decides to deal with this ruffian using the only language he knows how to speak. Who’s the real villain here
I want to be the first person on the moon to shoot a sniper rifle at earth and hit a wasp nest. my whole life so far is leading up to that moment
Problem: depicting villains whose villainy lies in having extreme and unreasonable reactions to objectively intolerable bullshit risks framing any objection whatsoever to the bullshit in question as unreasonable, thereby tacitly advocating for the status quo.
Problem problem: villains whose villainy lies in having extreme and unreasonable reactions to objectively intolerable bullshit are also the most relatable.
I had an idea.
I love these. Also whoops on the name, I'm always bad with those.
Systins my beloved. Is it like a monkey's paw sorta deal or?
Imagine eating fibs like a Roman Emperor and going crazy from led poisoning.
The Skyrazers be giving me ultrakill vibes, like you would run around one in a level or something like that lol.
What sorta weird creatures exist in Dust to Dawn? Speeding up evolution is bound to produce something funny.
Renamed that to 'New Millennium'
Some funky critters n such ive conceptualized recently:
-Systins, mythological(?) creatures said to inhabit ancient technology and the Datasphere; they are said to grant unimaginable wishes, but only according to a set of varying nonsense rules (not spec bio realy but i wanted to mention it :3) -Fibs, a sort of asexually reproducing fig which is very sweet, because of the lead-based toxins it sequesters into its fruits (thus 'fib' bc the sweet is a lie)
-Skyrazers, living towers which walk across Medimaria (formerly 'North America'), on legs of rubble animated by synthetic muscle built by nanotechnology and micro-scale robotic self-repair units. The original walking tower was a type of experimental arcology which in the Doom sought resources to sustain its precious cargo, and so uprooted itself in search of water. It has since mitosis'd into several daughters
