hell fucking world

Two neat things that happened at work today:

Shoutout to the young girl, probably seven or eight, that came up to the adult section to get a book on womens' rights. Godspeed, kid, I admire your determination.

And to the teacher that's looking to teach a high school course on graphic novels who had no clue where to start and let me drone on and on about how amazing Sandman is.

Sometimes working Saturdays is nice.

Lord of Leyndell.

Morgott the Omen King, the Fell Omen, the Special Boy, the Hot Old Man, my Husband. I started this piece a little over a year ago and never finished it until now. Feels good to complete it rather than let it sit and rot unfinished.

Made in Procreate.

"My flesh was dull gold...and my blood, rotted. Corpse after corpse left in my wake..."

Malenia, Blade of Miquella, who has never known defeat. Until she has.

The vision for this pose came to me in a dream and I'm glad I remembered it well enough to put it down. I had a lot of fun playing with the colors here, especially in outlining different chunks in color instead of black. Made entirely in Procreate, mainly with the Dry Ink brush, except for when I adjusted the levels in Photoshop. I'm still recovering from COVID and can't do much other than sit on the couch and doodle on my iPad but at least I can do that.

Going to be ordering prints of this magnificent lady soon.

Just a quick not friendly reminder: someone who has apologized for past mistakes, made amends for past actions, and clearly no longer holds past beliefs, is a far better person than one who digs up old dirt and uses a person's past that no longer exists against them.

passages that make you whisper "oh my god"

Here's to the people who weren't abused by their parents, but whose parents sucked anyways. Here's to people whose parents fucked up raising you out of ignorance and not malice. Here's to the kids whose parents didn't know what to do with you so they did nothing at all. Here's to people whose parents are getting better and growing as people but still hurt you. Here's to every mean comment that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't come from your mom; here's to awkward family dinners because you're all trying to forget;

here's to you, survivor of a thousand 'not as bad as it could have been' hurts. I see you. You aren't alone.

hey don’t cry. trees grow out of the ground.

I think being a shapeshifter would fix me

Sherlock and Co, a modernized take on Sherlock appearing as Watson's podcast detailing their cases has been real fun!

Also some Dimension 20 shows are available as a podcast, but to my knowledge only the first season of Fantasy High, Escape From the Bloodkeep, and the first season of The Unsleeping City.

i asked for podcast recommendations when i first started my job and then didn’t tag the post in a useful way to find it again

so, podcast recs again pls 😅

i’m currently listening to dnd stuff (like naddpod, taz), informational stuff (you’re wrong about, maintenance phase), and spooky stuff (the magnus archives/the magnus protocol, real life ghost stories)

also, not particularly interested in true crime

I know people are excited for the eclipse on April 8, but don't let it distract you from the real reason for the season.

I remember during my YA class that, when we were covering dystopias, my teacher was very supportive in making sure that we weren't overwhelming ourselves with triggering material. She said it was okay if we didn't read the full books, just enough to get an idea. It really does depend on your teacher.

Still, I think I would rather have healthy discussions about triggering material than avoiding them entirely.

yeah, im not gonna read that book. my therapist gave me permission.

Say in the tags!

JK Rowling is an utter ghoul. Spent her Easter Monday on a foul-mouthed rant comparing prominent trans people to criminals via association.

If you like her or still for some reason care about her children’s book, this isn’t the blog for you.

She’s a despicable person and your support for her disgusts me.

Pin for survivors

Honestly I think a lot of the KKC fandom would love to pants Kvothe.

He's definitely an "Um, actually" sort of guy and my patience could never

Okay y'all enough talking about your favorite characters that you would love to meet or hug or give a cuddle.

Tell me about your favorite characters that you wouldn't get in spitting distance of if they were real.
