#ArsRitualisTemplii As it was foretold by this message of mine, here it is: the surreal ride.

You can find the time-lapse video of me drawing it as a follow-up reply.

I guess this art isn't that sensitive (seems like family-friendly, as there's no blood, no violence, even though there's a prey-predator tension going on, but the predator isn't depicted preying on the prey) so I'm not putting CWs on this one, just on the follow-up time-lapse (due to the flashing lights). Please tell me if this picture post should have some CW.

Alt-text for the picture: a drawing where a gray mouse is taking a riding on the back of a Great Horned Owl (
Bubo virginianus). The mouse is explicitly scared and screaming, while holding himself very hard onto the owl's back (because it's the only thing he can try to do). The owl, in contrast, is quite oblivious to him (maybe pretending she's unaware), soaring high through the skies while she's very focused on flying. Below both, an endless volcanic landscape features a volcano, full with lava glowing inside it. Behind the landscape, the sun is occluded in the late moments of the sunset, casting a faint yellow light on the dark purple sky. A faint red crescent moon can be seen above the duet.

Call and Response


Call and Response by Stewart Stafford

Crank call from a candle factory —
A triple-threat candelabra.
Introduced themselves as Sasquatch,
With a vendetta against my Chupacabra.

My wife hyperventilated —
the hundredth call that week,
each one crazier than the last.
Ignore it, I said — turn the other slashed cheek.

Heavy breathing, then pizza orders,
Giggling voices asking for directions.
We changed the number, blew the whistle,
And left the rest to the Department of Deflections.

"Bobby Joe coughed and wheezed. “Come on, now, Retread. I killed Bigfoot. Take my damn picture for the papers.”
I continued to tap and swipe. “I’m waiting.”
“On what?”
“Your lung to collapse, dipshit.” I shot him an impatient look. “Well? Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and die. It’s past my bedtime.”"

An Emergency Call Centre worker in London has recently been dismissed from her job.
It seems that a male caller 'phoned in from a mobile phone stating, "I am depressed and lying here on a railway track. I am waiting for the train to come so I can finally meet my maker."
Apparently, "Remain calm and stay on the line" was not considered to be an appropriate or correct response.
