Sooo… apparently my Tumblr account has been terminated?

Not sure if this is some new purge or a glitch. I did have one post that they kept flagging as inappropriate-- a drawing of one of

handful_ofdust ’s characters from the Hexslinger trilogy, who was indeed bare-breasted, and I decided I couldn’t be bothered to argue that by their own rules artistic nudity was supposed to be ok.

 

 

Googling “tumblr account terminated” doesn’t turn up a slew of recent news on the topic, so it’s probably a continuation of the ongoing crackdown rather than a new rule I’ve broken. Trying to decide whether or not it’s worth appealing – I’ll miss that hell-site, but probably not enough to deal with their staff.

ETA— Apparently it was a glitch! They’ve apologized and reinstated me. Here’s a celebratory picture:

This is way better than the last three cults I joined!

Andrew rewatched episode 5 of Doom Patrol last night, and I’ve got to say it’s my favourite episode so far – the previous one had ended on a cliffhanger, with a cult summoning a god called the Decreator to destroy the world. Turns out the Decreator was actually constructed out of the cult’s faith, so the only solution is to go back in time forty years and start a rival cult who will be able, when the time is right, to summon the “Re-Creator.”

Obviously.

The more I think about it, the more I like that the good-guy cultists are all patients (and some staff) from a 1970s mental hospital, led by a chain-smoking, oxygen-tank-toting, rock’n’roll grandma. I think the main reason they succeed because they’re not simply a mirror-image of the original Cult of the Unwritten Book—one of their commandments is that when the Apocalypse comes they are to “Dance. Dance like there’s a giant eye in the sky watching you.”

Also, Ezekiel the cockroach is once again disappointed by the human race’s failure to be destroyed.
