So I never did an #introduction but I probably should, so...
I'm Alis! I'm an #sff #author and I love #monsters and so I write books about monsters. I also sometimes (very rarely) draw, and (mostly) play way too many #videogames.
I'm also the admin of fandom.ink, a small #fandom centric Masto instance, inspired by the #tumblr exodus and aimed at #fanart, #fanfic, #RP, and other general fannish content. (Also cat photos.)
So... hi!

telling all the extremely quiet middle class white people about a cool new cryptocurrency called CoinTelpro that they should look up
(And yes this is switched from the Elder to the Younger Futhark, since it's debatably more time-period-appropriate. I kind of default to the Elder because it's what I'm "used" to but it'd more-or-less died out by the 8th century, so...)
(... I think. I mean, close enough, given they hadn't exactly invented spelling yet in circa the 8th century.)

Casting a slightly broader net, the number of Bens rises but the percentage of Bens drops to 50%. On the other hand, the number of Matts rises to 33%. One Ben is also one of several brothers and has dated multiple people with the same names as said siblings (though he draws the line at dating people with the same name as his fraternal twin) and basically what I'm getting at here is apparently the parents of our age cohort were really freakin' unimaginative with boys' names.
Also 66% of men in my immediate IRL friendship group are called "Ben" so this song is both funny and awkward.
Aaah great the dog has learned to pull the bins over by tugging on the bin liners. Is nothing sacred?
(Seriously the last one was awful but this one is at least... I mean my ears are only tingling, not actually outright bleeding. Which is literally better than any other non-Australian attempt at Occa so cheers mate.)
Shout-out to Olly of Philosophy Tube for apparently actually working on his Australian accent for the latest video to the point that it's almost, *almost* passable.

They were so much fun to do, and did not take that long! If you should be interested in some of those, each one of the last 8 is approximately DinA3 as I painted them on 42cm x 59,4cm paper and I'd give one to give them away for 90€ each.
Everyone writing articles in professional media outlets talking about parasocial relationships on social media and not at least mentioning Shannon Strucci? Yeah I fuckkin' see you.
