Truth is the fire that fetches thunder.
A planned minisode on the Guide to Dalemark goes fully off the rails with the addition of early proto-Dalemark novella "The True State of Affairs," for a wide-ranging discussion on art, time, splendor, and a possible alternate vision for Diana Wynne Jones' career. Â
Transcript available here, and we'll be back sometime next month with our next bonus episode on The Tough Guide to Fantasyland!
NB: this episode contains discussion of child abuse and pedophilia.
I finally finished my watercolor portrait series

it's dangerous to go alone! take this [orv doodles] with you.
guy working on an artwork they knew would push them technically: what the hell why do i keep doing this wrong. am i haunted by malevolent spirits and such
btw did you know Seattle now has a zine store
...b/c it totally does & it whips
some of my fave pickups from opening weekend:
94 feet and a peach basket by jeremiah wistrom: did a DOUBLE TAKE when i opened this one & was like holy shit i know that basketball court!!! i've BEEN IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD!!! and the accompanying writeup was like "yeah i was eating a sandwich in boston's north end & did a double take when i turned a corner and there was a basketball court shoved right up in there?" and i'm like I KNOW THE SANDWICH YOU ATE haha
but yeahâbeyond that initial shock of startled & delighted recognition, it turns out this whole book is a photomemoir of sorts, in which the author's taken all these (cool/interesting/from-unusual-angles/etc) photographs of random basketball courts in all these places he's visited, all across the country, and written up a little bit about the history/context/etc of each one, what it was like to shoot some hoops there, what brought them there, etc, and... just a lot of love & interest & local color in it, i really adored reading through the thing
it reminded me a lot of what i love about birding: like birding, i guess you can in fact do basketball Everywhere and just by doing it you learn a little bit about Everywhere in the process.
weird tigers by kiriska: AS ADVERTISED. 10/10 delightful. i love every weird-ass tiger in these pages
what horse are you? by aya borucki: i'm a friesian :)
áźÎłĎĎ (ankhĹ) by s. barnes: i love it when things are claustrophobic & paranoid & bad! spend the Night Before Battle inside the trojan horse with Odysseus, in glorious black & orange :)))))
i picked up a bunch of other zines too and spent too much money ahlgiehalgie... no time to photograph them all, but, there's unsettlingly-illustrated toxic fish! there's traumatized geese! there's surprisingly-affecting poetry! it's all good shit
so yeah!!! go check out the Paper Pusher's Print Shop if you're in the area, it's a cool spot
I met one of the organizers this past weekend at the Seattle Art Book Fair, so i want to add a little more info about this cool shop! It's a pop-up shop as part of a Seattle vacant storefront project.

I just started chapter 10 of Parzival. Gawain is performing pericardiocentesis on someone?!?!
I spent 60 hours working on a Tomodachi Life island that takes place in the mind of Harry DuBois and is populated by the 28 skills from Disco Elysium

WHAT ARE YALL READING RN you must tell me
Easter Flegg parade!
...This one may require a bit of explaining.
My wife and I are fans of the actual play podcast Friends At The Table. It's a lot of fun if you enjoy getting a look at the underlying bones of narrative by listening to smart people collaboratively improv a story together! including wrestling with the messiness of when dice rolls don't turn out the way an author would do it! and also if you enjoy games other than D&D, which I do (no shade to D&D, which I also enjoy).
One of their current campaigns is Perpetua, an absolutely delightful collection of JRPG-inspired nonsense (using the game Fabula Ultima). And in that game, there's a kind of low-level... antagonist is not the word. Irritation? Inconvenience? Minor monster? CONTINUAL MENACE AND DELIGHT OF MY HEART called a flegg. Fleggs are little walking eggs with pointy noses and angry eyebrows and wee stick-figure limbs and they love to cause mayhem. They're like cats crossed with toddlers and made semi-invulnerable. I never want them in my house and I cackle every time they show up.
So! We were laughing at one point about Easter Fleggs dying themselves colors and stomping off to throw some protagonists' supplies into a river or whatever, and my wife was like I WANT THAT ON A MUG!!! and here we are. I hope you enjoy their little angry eyebrows half as much as I enjoyed painting them.
are there palm tree Ents
Palm Tree Ents: The Appendices
I wanted to adapt one of my favorite scenes from the Iliad into a comic ⨠the dialogue borrows and takes direction/inspiration from various translations, although pacing, general flow of the words, and page space got the final say in what I ultimately ended up deciding to letter.

we watched the Elvira movie and it's . stupid. and good. I love when women are stupid sexy goth bugs bunny. I don't think Elvira is good at anything including sex. I think she is incapable of having sex which doesn't prominently involve the slide whistle sound effect
on participatory art:
Beethovenâs âHammerklavierâ sonata, first published over two hundreds years ago, is notoriously considered one of the most difficult-to-play piano pieces of all time.
In particular, when Beethoven sent it to his publisher in 1818, he allegedly said, âNow you have a sonata that will keep the pianists busy when it is played 50 years hence!â, and much has been made of the fact that it wasnât publicly performed in its entirety until eighteen years later, by Franz Liszt himself.
Except thatâs a bit of a deceptive statistic. See, when Beethoven published Hammerklavier, public solo piano recitals/concerts werenât really a thing yet. Symphonies, sure; concertos, definitely. But sonatas were âparlorâ musicâa thing played by amateurs, often skilled amateurs, but amateurs nonetheless, in little sitting-rooms for a bit of entertainment after dinner, or at private salons with a guest list in the low dozens. (And mostly they were meant to be sight-read! The culture of obsessively polishing a piece to make it âperformance-readyâ wasnât as much of a thing, back then.) People bought these things the way they bought novels, and, just as someone might buy a copy of Joyceâs Ulysses today and enjoy puzzling over the thing, even if they never read the whole thing or feel like they fully âgetâ it, well⌠some folks would enjoy sonatas the same way.
So yeah, Hammerklavier didnât have its first public performance until Liszt played it in the Salle Ărard. But also, Liszt basically invented the format of âstar virtuoso pianist hogging the stage for two hoursâ in order to get a public audience at all.
But in the meantimeâI think about how wonderful it mustâve been, tooling around on the piano during that 18-year-span where there was no evidence that thing even was playable, or that, if playable, that the thing even made sense. Beethoven was nearly totally deaf by this point, after all, a fact that was publicly knownâhad he totally lost it? people had to wonder. And the only way to find out would be⌠well, trying it out yourself!
It has the sound of a gimmick. And Iâll bet it was, at least a little bitâbut just because somethingâs more interesting to play than listen to doesnât mean itâs failing in its goal. (Though fwiw it is very interesting to listen to.)
It also has the sound of, like, Dark Souls, to be honest. Proto-video game culture. A new game drops and people are asking each other: can anyone beat this boss? can you beat this boss? do you still consider your time on the game well-spent even if you never 100% it?
Biographies generally agree that Beethovenâs metronome markings (which only appear in his later work, and only *some* of his later work) are preposterousâoften borderline-unplayable, and certainly not very musical. I couldnât find a recording of anyone trying to play Hammerklavier at the marked 138bpm tempo, so I got a computer to do itâand burst out laughing at the result because, yeah, 138bpm is fucking NUTS. But whether intentional or accidental, I love the audacity of its being there, like a taunt: I dare you to do more. I dare you to do better. I dare you to try.
Much has been made of how difficultyâs a way of keeping people outâbut itâs also a way of inviting people in, I think. It says: do this hard thing and you will be rewarded. You will be rewarded in the trying. Because the trying is the thing that makes the music live; there is no music without you.
Hereâs an old bit from an interview with the game designer Porpentine:
âThe purpose of a puzzle [in a game] is to provide resistance. For me, that resistance doesnât need to be coercive or challenging, just interesting and aesthetic. My mechanics are to be touched. Games are perhaps the most intimate art because the player must remain touching at all times. They must touch or the game does not exist.â
So it goes with these sonatas, too.
