Encke: Okay, truth or dare?

Keeler: Truth.

Keeler:

Keeler: ...dare

Encke: Go to bed.

Keeler: I don't like this game.

Encke! Art fight numba 2 practicing speed paints. Encke belongs to @junijwi!

Kind of experimental thing i did with an old oc called encke. Basically everything except the sketch i did first was done on one layer with one brush. Really fun to do but it took a while lol

little doodle of wren meeting @junijwi 's encke, creature supreme, for the first time

Here's my characters I like and love them so much

"The problem with recycling plastic lies not with the concept or process but with the material itself. The first problem is that there are thousands of different plastics, each with its own composition and characteristics"

...

"Another problem is that the reprocessing of plastic waste—when possible at all—is wasteful. Plastic is flammable, and the risk of fires at plastic-recycling facilities affects neighboring communities—many of which are located in low-income communities or communities of color."

...

"Yet another problem is that plastic recycling is simply not economical. Recycled plastic costs more than new plastic because collecting, sorting, transporting, and reprocessing plastic waste is exorbitantly expensive. The petrochemical industry is rapidly expanding, which will further lower the cost of new plastic.

"Despite this stark failure, the plastics industry has waged a decades-long campaign to perpetuate the myth that the material is recyclable. This campaign is reminiscent of the tobacco industry’s efforts to convince smokers that filtered cigarettes are healthier than unfiltered cigarettes."

...

"Consumers can put pressure on companies to stop filling store shelves with single-use plastics by not buying them and instead choosing reusables and products in better packaging. And we should all keep recycling our paper, boxes, cans, and glass, because that actually works."

Wanted - Chapter 3

Rating: Mature (rating will change in future chapters) Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply (see additional tags)  Relationships: Ethos/Praxis (Starfighter), others to come in future chapters

Summary:  After becoming obsessed with a fearsome pirate captain, Marcus willingly becomes his captive. In a dance of deception, he rises through the ranks and realizes that neither his preconceptions or his first impressions of Captain Ethos were entirely accurate.

Since I last posted a fic tunglr finally cursed me with the new post editor and no option to switch back to the old one. Does anyone else hate the new "link" post options? You can't edit the text so you just get a generic "Show Chapter | Archive of Our Own" link preview with no details about what the link is. It doesn't match my ancient blog style, it doesn't provide any valuable information. What even is its point? No clue why they insist on removing actually useful functionality and jamming this site full of useless crap that nobody wants in an attempt to be Instagram/TikTok but worse. Anyway, I'm experimenting by also making the title a normal hyperlink, so maybe I'll go with that only, if it's obvious enough.

Back on topic, though, a wild chapter of pirate AU appears! Thanks to some summer vacation time and my hand/wrist doing a little better, we get to see some more of Marcus’ ill-advised and self-indulgent adventures on the high seas. Now with bonus bearded!Selene D:

Encke and Ithika. Speed Paint Sketch since I haven’t painted in a while. OC’s are owned to @junijwi!
