We're all biological machines, but cannot pierce the final captcha to unlocking reality
Didn't know that.Right. Well, I know that it might SEEM like you want to go meet the Queen, and do all that boring stuff you were talking about earlier, but I'm ninety percent certain that won't actually advance my goal of displacing my brother as the God of Worship in this place. As a matter of fact, the Queen is like, the LAST person you want to go see for that, since she -
- is lactose intolerant.
aaah - but properly aged cheese has next to no lactose
I never thought I would learn cheese facts from a forum about Dwarf Fortress.

$50 dorfbucks says the Queen is actually a kobold with great bluff, persuasion, comedy, and mime skills who got caught trying on the crown and other accoutrements of office but was able to play it off through dumb luck and has remained in power, skulking around the throne room wondering what the hell is going on for years now.
Everybody agrees that her lack of crazy demands, thoughtful nature, and willingness to defer to the wisdom of her court made her the best monarch in recent memory.
All hail Queen Jribulis!
This reminds me of the history of the Byzantine Empire. I know how it's going to end, but watching it pulling out increasingly difficult, increasingly insignificant victories, as everything slowly crumbles, is very powerful. This is a great story, DS.
Aside from naming the layer containing the caged dewbeetles "Gay Beetle Jail" and laughing silently to myself for four hours, this was not a fun update to draw.
At least it's done. Sorry about the wait.
