I said, "I really couldn't say, I only LOOK like Foucault." A much older student said, "I studied with Foucault when I was 20, and you're MUCH better-looking."

She can't pass for an albino human, because her skin is a faintly bluish frost-white rather than a pinkish-white. Even if she dyed her skin, the grayish-blue tongue would raise some questions. #comics #monsters #aliens #oc #ocsky weirdluck.net [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Apr 2026 18:32 +0000at://did:plc:36idptx4b2ywae363clurcfh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjulnr3hoc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/dr-nicky.bsky.social/post/3mjujjcesjc2vBianca is the most scarred character in the Weird Luck comic. In this pic you can see the wrist/forearm scars & missing fingers, and a bit of the scarring on her chest. Her scars are gray because her blood is pale grayish blue. #comics #oc #monsters #aliens #scars #worldbuilding weirdluck.net [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Apr 2026 17:54 +0000at://did:plc:36idptx4b2ywae363clurcfh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjujjcesjc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/dr-nicky.bsky.social/post/3mjufbhqjfc2zSmiley is the only member of the Weird Luck webcomic's main cast who's got kids. Not sure if he qualifies as a queer parent, though: he's queer enough, but hasn't done any actual parenting of the kids he's fathered. He doesn't even know about all of them. #comics #oc #queer #parents weirdluck.net [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Apr 2026 16:38 +0000at://did:plc:36idptx4b2ywae363clurcfh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjufbhqjfc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/dr-nicky.bsky.social/post/3mju7gy4tis2qI had a lovely time presenting at a psychedelics conference on Friday.
