i love books and i love pets (even though i don’t have one) SO I did bother all my coworkers to send me pet + book pics to share here / live vicariously thru
so check these beauties out! look these cute pets in their baby-big eyes. then check out the (awesome) titles they’re posing with bc i am a brand and my raison d'être is to push books lol
Gandalf the Dog + Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell
“Gandalf might be named for a fantasy wizard, but his reading interests lay firmly in the Gay Space Opera camp”
Ha, camp
Bao the Dog (x2) + Second Spear by Kerstin Hall
“Second Spear is full of butch spear-wielding ladies, mushroom gods, haunted places & apparently delicious pages”
since apparently Gandalf and Bao both enjoy the taste of books, maybe they should snack on The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean next
Rio the Cat + Forestborn by Elayne Audrey Becker
“Rio loves to cozy up with a good book!”
sorry lol i scheduled this on a friday and i’m tired
i really did spam a whole bunch of chats for this, to mixed success, however while SOME coworker’s cats r too broody for pics, others wouldn’t let even ‘not having pets’ stop them from submitting a pic
Bunnicula the Cat + Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
“Bunnicula the cat is a noted scholar of thalergy and thanergy and appreciates a realistic depiction of such forces. Moreover, Bunnicula, like Gideon, doesn't know how to properly eat a salad.”
Tom the Cat (x3) + A Collection of Titles from Katherine Addison
“While he’d pick a can of wet food over a cinnamon roll, Tom still appreciates kind-hearted protagonists.”
this cat’s human and i have played dnd together and Tom LOVES the camera. very biased but i think his strong kitty swag comes through in this photo series <3
Titles pictured include:
The Goblin Emperor
The Witness for the Dead
The Grief of Stones
i realized that we had a lot of cats and dogs and nothing else, so i texted my friend who doesn’t actually work here but does have a lizard and a Deep Backlist of Tor titles. though ultimately unable to decide on one book, picture and lizard both go hard. look at this cool dude. look at him vibe
Copen the Lizard + Many Titles
“The reptilian mind boggles at the dynamics that have led to this situation.”
Pixel the (Shiny) Sylveon + Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin
“The blade-sharp prose and scumbelievable gore balance with Pixel’s adorable cuteness to create the perfect image.”
yeah like i said i don’t have any pets but Bunnicula was inspiring
this is the end of the post and if you read this far you do have to buy a book so’s. Take to the notes and let me know:
what you’re reading
what your pet is
which of the above pets you’d want as an ally whilst you traverse the post-apocalyptic wastes

Let’s talk about favorite books that go you into reading. Mine have to be the books of Bayern. It all dated with the goose girl and I was hocked. I was a kid who hated to read I didn’t even do it for school I disliked it that much. But I got ahold of these books and we’ll let’s say something changed. I had read a few others I had liked but it was these that really kicked me into gear. ❄️⛄️✨🕯✨⛄️❄️⛄️✨🕯✨⛄️❄️ What was your book that started it all? ❄️⛄️✨🕯✨⛄️❄️⛄️✨🕯✨⛄️❄️ #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #booksbooksandmorebooks #booksofbayern #thegoosegirl #ennaburning #riversecrets #forestborn #shannonhale #shannonhalebooks #thedarklibrarians https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl5TwoMgqxp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

★ What are your favorite books with forest settings? I started listening to the audiobook of Forestborn by @elayneabecker today and I’m really enjoying it! I’ve been wanting to get to this one for awhile, plus @spitfirewriter recommends it frequently, so that’s a plus in my book! It’s the first in a YA fantasy duology and the second book comes out in August.

Wildbound - Elayne Audrey Becker (Forestborn #2)
With the assassination of Telyan's king, the time for peace has passed.
Determined to make up for his failure to procure the stardust, Helos finds work as a healer at Fendolyn's Keep, the military garrison to which Telyan's exiled royals--and half its civilians--have fled. Racing against the Fallow Throes' ticking clock, he endeavors to repair his relationship with Prince Finley and fight off the gathering shadows in his head, as the base around him prepares for war.
Half a continent away, his sister Rora is doing everything she can to reawaken the land and end Eradain's slaughter of magical beings. Still reeling from the revelation that Eradain's violent monarch is her half-brother, she journeys to the kingdom determined to infiltrate his court in disguise--and finds the seeds of rebellion are already stirring.
With a magical illness running rampant and the continent arming for battle, the three realms' long-feared destruction seems inevitable. But the two shifters they believed would bring about Alemara's ruin may in fact hold the key to its survival.
tw (i assume): death, illness

Closed to w/@izzyfromdeadspace
The cervitaur reared up on his hind legs, bracing his hooves against the tree he stretched up with his arms, plucking the mango fruit he passed it down to Izzy and helped her out by harvesting them for the deserts she wanted to make, “So how are you holding up? Your mom said you missed me.” He teased, gently nudging her with his mind end, his fluffy tail wiggling as his deer ears twitched; he looked down to her and flashed her a smirk, all fangs and his red eyes glowing.

Chapter 69 of Alone together? is out now!
As much as they wanted to stay together, wanted to stay inside their hug, inside the walls of Saint Pearl’s church, both of them knew that it wasn’t possible. The barrier that protected her was gone. Her siblings were outside; she could see them talking through the colourful window. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but she knew one thing for sure.
She isn’t leaving Pearl’s side ever again.

So in Gems and Joels most recent episodes they are both Forestborns and Joel says these two things 'are we twinning?' and 'I cant stop levitating' so now I have this. Gem and Joel are twins and Gem oftentimes has a rope tied around his waist like a balloon cuz he cant control his levitating and keeps floating up to space and this is the only way Gem can keep him from falling to his death.
PDHAIDISJD HES LIKE A POUTY BABY AND HES JUST FLOATING ABOVE HER

send DIFFERENT for a scene from my muse's past that they feel changed their outlook / personality / etc, for the better or worse
“Something I don’t understand,” Dark said.
“And what’s that?” The padjal replied, voice placid as a pond on a still summer afternoon.
“The Elementals removed the Ixal for their excessive logging and hunting, right?”
The padjal nodded and continued with his gardening work as they moved through this stretch of the forest, Dark aiding his cultivation of the natural resources along old paths created by generations of animals and people.
“And there are others living within the Hedge now; cutpurses, and gangs of hunters, and others who cause problems for travelers and the various settlements, but they are allowed to stay.”
“They do not upset the balance of the Wood,” the padjal said simply. “While they may live outside the laws of Man, they are yet children of the forest, and practice similar hunting and gathering practices to ensure the balance is maintained.”
“What of outsiders, like those refugees coming from Ala Mhigo?” the roegadyn girl asked, thinking of her cousins still in the East End.
“So long as they learn how to live in harmony within the Hedge, with the conservation practices we must abide by, they will always be welcome; the Wood provides for all.”
She frowned. “But I thought the Elementals want them to leave, because their very presence upsets the balance.”
The padjal frowned and straightened. “I’ve sensed no such thing. Where did you hear that?”
She hesitated. “Well our local hearer said—”
The padjal’s face clouded. “Which Hearer?” He demanded, voice like thunder. She stared, suddenly reminded this small, slight, child-like figure was in truth *decades* older than herself, a vessel for the power of Nature in all its fury.
“C-Constallaine,” she replied.
The padjal made a face, then shook his head, some of the storm clearing. “I’m not angry at you, child,” he said, voice gentle again, though she still heard the thunderous undertones. “But you must understand, Dark Autumn: the Elementals are not people. They are not mortal. They are Nature, and do not see nor understand the world as we do. They do not see political boundaries, or ethnicity. They are the Wood.”
She nodded politely, but she already knew this. Any forestborn did, since they were a baby.
“Hearers interpret the Elementals. But Hearers *are* people. Hearers *are* mortal. Hearers *do* see political boundaries, and ethnicities.” The padjal sighed. “Elementals don’t lie—they *can’t*. They don’t speak the way we do, nor share the same understanding. They simply…are. And they simply do.”
“But people can, and do, lie,” Dark said slowly. The padjal nodded as she frowned. “But Hearers are s’posed to report the will of the Elementals.”
“They are,” the padjal said, a rumbling growl in his voice again. “I will speak to Constallaine about his interpretations, and remind him of his duty to the Wood.” He looked around, and smiled, though it was tense. “Thank you for your help today, child; go on home now. I suspect you have much to think on.”
Dark nodded and watched him walk further into the woods, swiftly swallowed by shadows and leaves. She turned to make the walk home, mulling over the learned respect of Hearers and their words, compared to the lifelong teachings and experiences with the Elementals of the Twelveswood.

Im a little in love with how you draw peppino's body type 😳 those gnomes got competition
Heehee i am always so happy when i see messages like these. Like yess i am also in love w the way i draw him 💖
Wrt to the end of ur comment, i did mention this before in some ‘blink and u miss it’ tags, but Gnomes (at least in my worldbuilding for personal comics) are very small and very stout, and have a couple of animal-ish traits (furred ears and small thin tails). Theyre like the smallest humanoid forestborn creatures.
Anyway i am saying this bc the proportions they have means that someone like Peppino (short, stocky, hairy) is like PEAK masculinity to them. Peppino eventually learns this as he learns about Gnome Culture via Gus, but for now he is blissfully unaware of the effect he has on the population of this forest. As far as he knows, they are singleminded in their goal to keep him trapped in mindless chatter, much like the old ladies around his town when he goes out to do errands. So yeah, as far as other, bachelor gnomes are concerned, Peppino is a real threat 😭
Well. He would be. If not for the fact that Gus basically flaunts him around like a show dog like ‘yes look at who i have carrying me around with their huge strong arms :)’ And with Gus being PEAK masculinity for gnomekind, its more akin to having these extremely pretty and unobtainable jocks(bears) waltzing around the forest smiling politely to everyone and making gnomes either incredibly jealous or making them go 👁👁
#answered#//#///#////#/////#peppino#gustavo#pepstavo#heehee#i am always doing this; bringing my own worldbuiding into existing medias#its just fun! i rotate them in my head when im busy playing games#my art typically wont have any of this kind of talk#and i will try my best to keep them out of the main tags#but i do love talking about this kind of stuff; i like making characters and stories feel real even if it wasnt intended to be that way#anyway#gnomes looking at them both and gossiping#and murmuring amongst themselves#like ‘….its them…👀 theyre back’#pep would find it a bit endearing later on#specifically being like incredibly hot to these guys#like i do not think of him w low self esteem hes just incredibly anxious who CAN be prone to being a little bashful#and like being a gay older man means he is well aware of how much The Gays love their bears fhjfhdkdjdkdn#even then when gus compliments him hes like 😳#hell reverse uno that shit and say well according to everyone else I got the biggest catch possible. but i didnt need anyone to tell me that#it was already p obv#😉#oh u sly dog; u got me monologuing…!
