"The wind flutters the grass around them, the slender stems of the poppies bending in the breeze, the leaves rustling above their heads. Yennefer opens her mouth to speak, and then realises that she's without words."
The final chapter of @galeaspida's And So We Fall Together (The One With The Unicorn) was updated recently and it filled me with such joyous bliss to see them under their apple tree once again, happy at last. Go read it if you haven't!
The lines:
plus a close up on the bouquet of wildflowers (I took the liberty to draw some wheat, lavender and strawflowers):

Tweaked last night’s post to add Yennefer on the left for balance. Compositionally. Not emotionally.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL new chapter dropped for the unicorn AU by galeaspida and i insist you read it immediately
(i mean it’s 10k so you do you but UNICORNS)
She dreams of Tissaia that night.
It’s not quite a dream, hazy and ephemeral, but rather something more; an echo of a vivid memory that Yennefer has held on to so tightly she can almost feel the sun on her face again. Aretuza, gleaming in the blazing autumn sun, jewel-bright blue banners rippling high on its many towers, the legacy of the long-gone elven builders standing despite the ravages of time.

It’s finiiiiished! I’ve been obsessed with Tissaia for a while now, hope I did her justice
Thanks to @galeaspida for writing such a cool story on ao3, I immediately wanted to illustrate it. Here’s the link to it if you haven’t read it already!
Also, in case any of you are wondering, I used gouache on paper, and it’s 23x30cm
#I’m so happy to have finished it#oh and#thanks for all your tags and comments#i read them all#they bring me great joy#tissaia#tissaia de vries#the witcher#my art#Inka’s art

Currently Reading: I recently finished Defekt a sci-fi novella by Nino Cipri. A queer anti-capitalist adventure taking place inside a fictionalized IKEA with some world-hopping elements and other SF elements. The main character is Derek and he finds out he is not as alone as he thought and finds community and discovers some interesting things about himself. It was sweet and cute. Definitely made me want to punch management in the face. Great story. I'm gonna go and read the first novella in the series now.
Last Song: Oh, whatever that RuPaul song is from that improv dancing video I've seen on my tumblr dash several times this week.
Currently Watching: I recently finished Midnight Mass. I'm also watching Only Murders in the Building, Ahsoka, Nailed It! Baking Challenge. Star Trek Lower Decks!!! And the occasional Suits episode.
Current Fic: Currently in the middle of reading several long fics. 😍 And So We Fall Together (The One With The Unicorn) by galeaspida, AMAZING Yennefer/Tissaia story. I'm also rolling around my Ciri and bandit feelings with @poetikat 's At Another Time. I've also got @dragneto 's Midnight Mass fic ...in vitam aeternam in my to-read queue this weekend while my religious horror feelings are still fresh. I'm just CHOMPING on those tags. I have a few other stories I need to pull out of my saved tabs this weekend.
Writing: Going to be working on my Vilgefortz fic edits. I'm also trying to make headway on some yennskier/geraskefer stuff and a smattering of other witcher wips.
Next on watchlist: my to watch is so long, I haven't picked anything out yet. Probably something from my horror list since I'm behind on horror films from the last six years. Or maybe John Wick 4.
Current Obsession: I'm still rolling around in a variety of witcher feelings for all the canons. It doesn't want to let up. I have so much fic and many vids to make and try to finish.
uhhh I don't know who to tag for this round so if you want to do it!! do it! and tag me please so I can read. ❤️
#i went to the library this month and have a nice stack of books to get through#and i'm almost done with my lady in the lake reread#AND i finally signed up for Kanopy with my library and have a bunch of awesome documentaries on my watch list now#so many things#really. gonna work on the focus thing#finish fic! post fic!!!#tag game#answerdora#blogdora#textpost

Although the only surviving agnathans in modern times are the lampreys and hagfish, back in the early-to-mid-Paleozoic these "jawless fish" were much more diverse. Many of them were heavily armored with large bony head shields – a feature eventually inherited by early jawed fish like the placoderms – which protected their heads, gills, and some of their internal organs.
And some of the oddest-looking of these armored agnathans was a lineage known as the galeaspids.
Known from southern China, Tibet, and Vietnam, these small fish were bottom-dwellers living in the shallow waters of lagoons and river deltas. Their most distinctive feature was a single large opening on the upper side of their head shields – and despite looking like a particularly goofy mouth this hole was actually a nostril, used for both a sense of smell and as a water intake for their gills. The actual mouth and the gill openings were on the underside of the head.
While early galeaspids had rounded head shields, later forms developed some more unusual shapes, with long spines sticking out to each side and pointed or spatula-shaped snouts.
Tridenaspis magnoculus here lived during the early Devonian in Southwest China, about 407-393 million years ago, and was only about 5cm long (2"). It wasn't the most extremely pointy of its kind, but still had a weird kite-shaped head shield, a long vertical slit-shaped nostril opening, and rather large upwards-facing eyes.
