can't bring myself to deal w the pile of books I brought home from abroad but am somehow able to focus on reading manga of questionable quality in spanish on mangadex

(awooo!) rooftops (of paris)

going to bed is work, too

in one piece (pirate manga)(english version) the king of the world insists on speaking fake shakespeare english just so he can use the informal 2nd person singular thou, thee etc to mildly disrespect strangers. talking like a normal person would rob him of this simple pleasure

Simon will do 1 of his kickstarters, sometime not too far off in the future

it's like over halfway done! though tbh probably better read in 1 chunk once it's finished. but I'm posting these pages on patreon every Sunday to keep myself motivated

some NERD (thanks hagai) pointed out annihilation is misspelled. will fix later in the actual comic just pretend it's spelled normal

simon stuff (@simonroy.bsky.social) you're gonna get to see 1 of these posthuman freaks die, several even, but at what cost

I'm glad this made sense

Hard to believe this scene exists within an urbanized waterway in one of the busiest ports in the world🥹🔮🐠🪸🛳️🌇 #southernstingray #stingraysofcoralcity

this seems like the kindest & also most plausible explanation tbh

walking the dog & worrying abt the dog like devouring a whole jogger while I'm looking away is taking up all my reading energy rn unfortunately. going to open up the kobo device a week from now & all my sad russians will have killed themselves like starved tamagotchis

the kladdkaka (brownie) & apple pie there is genuinely v good, it's only like 25sek for a slice & the coffee is free. to me this is like that song from the o brother where art thou soundtrack where a hobo imagines heaven. but now there's 200 germans in there

(though part of the charm of avatar is it being non-euro fantasy, which ig is part of what makes this dumb bit of text so surprising. only seen the og series so idk)

my scandinavian bias wants to say that's just an asian-looking finnish or norwegian person but you're prob right re: ppl trying to put non-western ppl into old-school euro fantasy worlds being more comfortable casting them as supernatural or non-human

Shan't be doing anything.

this summer the IKEA museum café where I used to sit & work last winter is full of tourists, you have to stand in line & the only free tables are outdoors. this is probably also what it's like to live in venice

molly looks cool which I think is the most important thing here

I also see he's recoded that 1000+ p prose book Alan Moore wrote, which I can imagine being an interesting listen

yeah that was like my first important simon vance experience. could only find the pastel city on the dumb torrent site I was using so I read the rest of them as book books but I think his sort of melancholy narration set the tone for me
