I can’t believe I have to say this but with all the Yennefer & Jaskier discourse going on over a Halloween joke poster I feel like it’s necessary to remind y’all
1. There is no erasure in the latest social media post (the Jaskier poster) of any female characters for the white males. Like how Dandelion narrates the books, the media accounts do the same with having ‘Jaskier’ be ‘in control’ of the account. The joke was that since Jaskier is not typically seen in the main promo with the big 3 aka Yennefer, Geralt and Ciri, then he would insert himself into it because he is a bard who loves the spotlight and wants to be included too. That’s the gag, that’s the joke, let’s move on please. We will still get lots of scenes with ALL the characters in the second season and fighting about it now is getting ridiculous.
2. Neither are better than the other despite what the fandom says. They are both neutral characters who have BOTH done some shitty things and good things. They both work to drive the story further for Ciri AND Geralt.
3. If you call out the actors, call them names like “ugly” or anything insulting because of the characters they play on screen, then you are a piece of shit who doesn’t deserve the media and that’s a fact. For reasons being that if you can’t tell the difference between an actor and the character they play, then you are not mature enough to be watching.
Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
Remember when I started a titans portrait series...well Shadow and Bone consumes all. P.S. crows come first.
Also, I'm adding the order of when I'll be painting, and I'll add the links as I finish each!

Favorite moments from working telephone customer service:
•customer: (currently putting in a bulk order for reusable menstrual cups to give to refugee camps) Have you ever been to Africa?
Me: No
Customer: Can I rant to you for a bit about giraffes?
Me: Sure, why not
Customer: ok so this asshole decided to wake me up this morning by sticking his head through my window-
...
•Customer (a sweet little old lady with a strong New Orleans accent): Ohh sweetie, have you ever been classically trained in opera?
Me: I've been trained in singing but I can't say I've ever done opera.
Customer: Well you should. Your voice is like butter and that's your speaking voice! Hon, if you're ever in New Orleans you find me and I am gonna get you a spot on stage!
(I later found out she was a singer for the New Orleans Opera Association when she was younger)
(Sadly I've still never been there)
...
•Customer is calling in from Hawaii
Me: So just to confirm, your shipping address is 123 Ka-... *quietly* Oh no...
Customer, sounding like he's really holding back his absolute glee: Say it. Say it out loud.
Me, knowing approximately nothing of the Hawaiian language but have seen Dragon Ball Z: 123 kame... hame... ha? boulevard?
Customer: (fucking dying of laughter on the phone)
I had to come back for this... because my parents are exactly like this. I’ve had digestion issues, stomach issues and mental health problems since I was in 8th grade. I can’t drink smoothies or eat fruits because it will hurt me. Anything new on the table I haven’t eaten before, I avoid because 50/50 chance it could hurt me too. I developed maladaptive daydreaming to combat my fears. But my parents are of the firm believers that they’ll be able to “fix me” naturally and with better food. Almost 6 years later, I’m 18 now. I’ve still not been to a doctor and I still walk on egg shells with what I eat. I’ve been told to “stop victimizing myself because I’m not the victim in this.” And counteracting that has been pointless. My parents would rather have me talk to a “medical medium” that I’ve never met than an actual doctor. In 9th grade I was desperate and foolish so I believed it and thus followed this mediums advice to go on a detox. No wheat, rice, yeast, diary, or eggs for a whole two months. Guess what happened? I lost 20 lbs that for the life of me I can’t gain back. I don’t talk to her anymore. I’ve taken all the homeopathic medicine and the only sorta painkiller I have is Advil that I explicitly use only for headaches and period cramps. Nothings worked. Praying, crystals, nothing. And I’m free now that I’m 18, I can go to a doctor on my own but after growing up, hearing all the horror stories about how doctors won’t help me, I’m now terrified to go. Because what if it’s too late for me? What if it’s nothing at all? What if they can’t help me? Fueling my paranoia over the years and then saying “anxiety is all in your monkey mind” is terrible and I hate to think it but my parents spirituality with their crystals and “healthy eating” might be a bit ableist and I thank this post for letting me see that.
