“the governments of the world have been twitching uncomfortably for years now as they realize how hard it is to control a populace who have real time access to all of the information about everything ever, on a tiny computer that lives in their pocket.”

“we built this brilliant beautiful thing out of plastic and wire, and it was deliberately and maliciously lobotomized by people that thought it gave the pack mules too much freedom. too much power.”

been thinking about these narcissist cookbook lyrics in light of the tiktok ban

#a lot of tiktok is very pro-palestine. it’s how my 13 year old sister learned what was going on #that is absolutely part of why now. why this is the one thing that gets passed so quickly #i don’t care if you hate tiktok this is censorship #tiktok #tiktok ban #the narcissist cookbook #tnc

about goshdang time I made some proper fanart for @narcissistcookbook and their good tunes. this one's an homage to one of my favorite albums of all time 🔥 (Edit: Matt has since commissioned this piece from me and has the rights to sell it!)

[ID: A graphic design of a rib cage in front of a shining sun. A garden hose twists around the rib cage and lets out a stream of water and various objects that fill the bottom of the design. In between the waves of water the following objects are nestled: an alarm clock that reads 4:30, a can of diet cola, a dragon hissing smoke, a smartphone with an incoming call from Mx. TNC (with a wolf icon), and a raven carrying a note that reads "promise you'll leave." Mushrooms cling to the sides of the rib cage. Text reading "This is how we get better" frames the top and lays over the bottom of the design. End ID]

This is How We Get Better and all Narcissist Cookbook's other music is available at all the usual music places

#Was going for an indie punk t-shirt vibe and I think we hit that mark :3 #I'm so normal about this album I promise <-blatant lie <-has listened to the album over 300 times <-is probably listening to it right now #tnc #narcissist cookbook #this is how we get better #the narcissist cookbook #music fanart

The Narcissist Cookbook has many many good songs (if calling them songs even does them justice), and many of them feel like they’re holding a mirror up to me, so many of them see right through me it’s almost alarming, but only one of them feels like DAVID feels.

I first listed to DAVID the first time I ever listened to the Narcissist Cookbook. I had found them somehow, I don’t remember if it was recommended to me or on some playlist, but I was shuffling through their songs and DAVID came on, and that’s when I knew that I had found something completely unique.

It’s one thing to remind a listener of themselves when you’re talking about things they like about themselves, it’s even pretty easy to resonate with people about things they maybe don’t like, but to make someone come face to face with some of the worst parts of themselves? The parts they don’t want to even acknowledge exist? No song had ever done that before, and I haven’t found one like it since.

DAVID is the story of a very specific experience, one that I have not had, but the feelings it created and the reactions it brought, horrifying as they are, are very very real, and I know plenty of people, including myself, that know what they’re talking about. That song makes my skin crawl, my gut twist, because I know, and I hate that I know. I’ve witnessed “the monster stories I’d been laughing at for years—[slipping] through the bars of their cage,” in my own life. I’ve had moments when I realize “[���]I am not above being a scared little white man. I am not too smart to fall for all the rhetorician bile.”

It’s been on my mind a lot, especially when I’ve been seeing videos of people that have nothing to do with Palestine or Israel being harassed and attacked.

Listen to DAVID. Don’t fight the sinking feeling in your gut, or the crawling of your skin. Listen to DAVID and do not forget it.

oh shit it's November again

This time we are drawing cards and completing a game board! please share this post so people know what's up!

Choose a reward you can give yourself, choose a goal, and then draw cards here!

Each day you want to participate, draw a card (redraw if it isn't for you or doesn't feel right that day) and make something cool based off the prompt, like a ficlet, a playlist, visual art, an art object, a collage, or something else entirely! you can even count things like writing a detailed post about your thoughts on a given TAZ related subject, or even telling a friend about a real good daydream you dreamed real hard.

The point is that we get through November, have a good time, and think about TAZ. It's entirely self-paced, and self driven, no quotas, no deadlines, no stress. just making, sharing, enjoying.

If you want to share your work, @ this blog, @taznovembercelebration, and I'll reblog it when I can! November is crazy, which is why we want to help each other through it.

Again, the prompts are here.

Select a game board or make your own!

[ID: a space themed board game board with 15 spaces and the shutterstock logo still on]

[ID: a nature themed board game with 20 spaces and the shutterstock logo still on]

[ID: a space themed board game with animal astronauts, 29 spaces, and the logo still on]

Feel free to make your own board game, take your own from a quick image search like i did, or record your progress in a way that doesn't hold you to an end result.

if you have questions, send this blog an ask. don't forget to share the cool stuff that others make!! it's all about spreading a little light in the darkness.

Here we go!!

Okay, time to go back into the Caves while I eat breakfast.

....I'm having mixed feelings about continuing, for one reason and one reason only: I have a very low tolerance for cult shit, even in fiction

Like, "Have not been able to pick up The Locked Tomb, even though I know I would adore it in every respect, because I know that it's fundamentally about The Realities Of Living In A Death Cult" low tolerance

and as of Chapter 18/Materials VIII, it is blatantly telegraphed, with sirens and a fucking can-can line, that that is where TNC is going
