this is like the most painful moment in any movie ever

This scene is phenomenal. It breaks me every time.

Got frustrated drawing something at the airport so I drew myself frustrated at the airport.

Time-Love Continuum

9;44pm:
Taking Elizabeth out on our first date, riding The First Lady's Aerodrome! I know we just met, but she feels like a keeper. Eeep!
9;55pm:
Man, these gondolas are a trip, y'all. Columbia Authorities random screenings my ass.
9;57pm:
Phew, I found some bananas in the trash to hold me over. Hope Elizabeth didn't see me eat it. I still got it.
10;08pm:
I think talking about my dead wife didn't go over very well, but she had never tried cotton candy before… So I kind of broke even, right?
10;33pm:
Shit's getting weird out here, guys. I'm going to take a quick detour to the Hall of Heroes to wrap my mind around this. Hope she likes history!
10;51pm:
I knew I was going to have to fight off some guys to keep Elizabeth, but nobody told me it would be TO THE DEATH! There's a lot of blood.
10;54pm:
I mean it's seriously everywhere, this is going to stain.
11;08pm:
In retrospect, I'm starting to think Hall of Heroes was a bad choice. A lot of weird undertones for just the first date.
11;34pm:
Oh come on, Slate, guy drops ONE piece of ham in the snow and he NEVER HEARS THE END OF IT. Way to ruin an otherwise pleasant evening.
12;20pm:
Ugh, I always find the worst things to say, now she's crying. What a disaster.
12;25pm:
Great, she won't even talk to me now. Just pout then.
1;09pm:
All right! Finally a break, she wants to go to the Good Time Club. That, by necessity, obliges good times. Everything's coming up Brandt!
1;51pm:
Don't want to ruin the mood, but our date definitely just got trans-dimensional, if you hear what I'm saying. Just crushing the time-love continuum over here.
3;08pm:
Oh yeah, got her voxophone number!
Let me pitch you my new movie, Gosling. Ryan Gosling plays himself in a genre-bending documentary, where we soon find a startling trend of hatred towards geese. The way they look, they way they act, the way they think; he loathes every fiber of them. For reasons beyond his control, he wakes up only to find he has become five literal goslings and must survive the harsh social hierarchy of geese and what it truly means to be a goose (much less five)! After plenty of hijinks at his high school reunion, where he wins the basketball season, he comes to terms with being goslings and never changes back. The movie industry falls without his human form, but Ryan Gosling becomes an unlikely martyr for the geese. He can’t really do much about it because he is still five goslings. We now live in a goose-centric reality, that is, only until Ryan Goslings reach the end of their natural life-cycle, at which point he is reborn in new geese who now have the power of water, earth, blatant disregard for others, fire, and air. Only the five true goslings, masters of all geese, can bring our planet back into the intellectual balance of societies who put geese in their place, the way Ryan Gosling always knew should be.I’ll be waiting for your funding.

Hey everyone!

Betwixt squalls of vast migration lie dormant a period of captivity.

One of the little things I like about letting myself stay isolated in my apartment during the downtime in my job is this window. It’s the primary source of light for my room, but there are these spindly trees just outside. There aren’t many of them, just enough to almost obscure line of sight with the interstate. They aren’t as good at blocking the sound. They do sway in the wind though, and I’m kind of captivated by that.

Quick sketch for a friend who asked for something other than this. I thought it was funny in context.

Quick story. I don’t have a good grasp on time these days, but what felt like a few months ago this post showed up in my tumblr feed. It was a text post at a moderate length, vague in its purpose, propositioning me for a shipping address. NICE TRY, PERSON ON THE INTERNET. The post was up for maybe an hour? It came from findthestarlight, who I never remembered following. What a peculiar sight it must have been. I remember being so perplexed, but compelled to oblige. I did a compulsory google search to get a rough idea of what the hell this was all about. There were very few results, but most prominent among them was luckyshirt’s twitter page, wherein his website listing was findthestarlight’s without reason. That was enough for me. I guess that doesn’t make a strong argument for my logic and reasoning; what is it this guy got himself into, and why should I care when it’s not his usual jokes about burritos, cats, or Jesus’s birthday? I still don’t have an answer for that, but at least now I have a little more to show for it. I recall he was going to ditch the luckyshirt moniker, but I’m really glad he didn’t. I find it all more interesting in the context that these things that I find worth my time are coming from a dad who’s making things worth his time instead of teaching kids what gifs are (because that’s what he gets paid to do). So now findthestarlight has started to find its place, albeit cryptically, as an uncompromising story told through the veil of mystery. Short stories, enigmatic clues, and delivered plot devices have all gone into telling a story in a fascinating way. There’s a kickstarter, which is interesting in its own right. If luckyshirt (and I know you’re reading this) spontaneously imploded I would be pretty sad, and now findthestarlight is one of the multiple reasons why. I am inexplicably drawn to this, and I think you should be too. findthestarlight: Let’s do one final contest. Go here and see what has happened. See, this is the final week of my request for help. And everything waits on the results. The support I have already received has changed things. Now everything waits for the end of this week, as what is left of this chapter and the path to The Orange Key will depend entirely on what happens there this week. For those just joining us, go here to read the main scenes of this story so far, and here to learn more about how this story is being told. If such things capture your attention, please follow there. To put things simply: we need a large net. And we need that het to have as few holes as possible. So I am asking for your help this one last time before finishing what we have begun. If you have any interest in this story, and if your ways allow for such things, I would be very grateful if you would repeat this link wherever you can: http://kck.st/14BjpJR I ask you do that for the sake of this story alone. For those who do so here by reposting this post, I will select four names at random to receive an Alchemy Starter Set at the close of these last six days on Sunday, February 10th at 4:22 pm EST. For those of you who post the link to twitter with the #findthestarlight tag, two will be selected on the same date to receive an Alchemy Starter Set.  Thank you all so very much for your help, for your patience, for your kind words and encouragement, and for your attention. The best of luck to us all. -M
