Armand's flex, after Lestat beats him to a bloody pulp then takes him back to his lair, is to grab the iron bar of Lestat's gate, pry it out of the stone slab ever so slightly then bend it to prove to Lestat that he could have broken into his lair anytime he wanted to.

I so hope we get this in season 3. I need to see Armand showcase his vampire strength a little more. Picking up a flipped table with one hand isn't enough for me.

I love how the book describes her not giving af about the fact that there's a white rabbit that talks, but the rabbit having a pocket watch is a mind-blowing experience for her.

I've never gotten more book recommendations than from a bat-fic from Jason Todd's perspective

winter and moon

I made this piece on Krita and I have been working on it for a month ATLEAST. I am legitimately so proud of this art. I have a new perspective of Moon and Winters relationship. so I decided to bring this scene to life.

"""All right," Moon said. She hesitated, then took a step closer to Winter so that their wings were nearly touching. He felt his breath catch in his throat. She was made for moonlight, all silver and ebony, or moonlight was made for her. He could imagine her in the Ice Kingdom, silhouetted against the vast whiteness, dark as the ocean and glittering like the moonlit snow."" - Tui. T. Sutherland (Winter Turning book 7) pg. 158, chp. 12..

I don't post often but I'm gonna say it.

All of you thinking Crowley is gonna be depressed and crying his snake eyes out in s3 are WRONG. Yall are forgetting it's still a comedy show (with occasional drama).

I propose: He is gonna pretend everything is PEACHY. Just absolutely ridiculously amazing now that The-angel-who-must-not-be-named is gone. Crowley is drunk, partying in clubs, speeding through quiet neighborhoods blasting Killer Queen by Tschaikowsky and alerting the dogs, living the high life, maybe even being more evil again—now that the judgemental glances of angelic goodness aren't peeking over his shoulder anymore.

And then he gets home, or rather a place he occasionally resides for extended periods of time. And the constant drunkenness is wearing him down, like a mountain at the end of the universe after a bird sharpened its beak on it for millennia.

And even though he swore never to return, he revisits the book shop out of instinct or because the Bentley knew that's the one place he didn't want to think about, which in turn becomes the only thing he thinks about.

And that's where he breaks down. This is where he falls on his knees and prays to someone in the rain. And when nobody answers, he picks up his glasses and performs a minor miracle to separate every happy human couple he passes by — because love is a four letter word, and he has damned them all to Hell.

Bungou Stray Dogs just feel extremely connected with The Neverending Story. In Neverending Story, stories create stories and actually nothing have a end. Connected with it nothing have a start if they don't have story. Stories cause stories so its imposible to finish a story if you live in Fantasia. (The universe in Neverending Story)

There was endless universes endless possibilities endless characters endless situations. The book. Fantasia have a book which everything happen in Fantasia writing in it. Fantasia's book can't search a living creature just can found it . Book written by Old Soul Of the Wandering Mountain. (I can't directly translate it to English because i read it turkish)

Michael Ende (writer of Neverending Story and fascinating fantastic books , his books live forever in my brain) would be a great bsd oc. Michael Ende as a bsd character, ımagine...

People who live in world we know- and world we think we live- can come in to Fantasia. For example Shekespeare describe as a Fantasia traveler. I wonder Howard Philips Lovecraft ever go there ?

So in Fantasia humans who have a brain to understand fantasia's world can travel Fantasia every bsd author and port have a brain to this. Bungou stray Dogs is a theory born in Fantasia's endless meadows, forests, houses. Neverlands

Nikolai Gogol's stories, evenings from a farm near Dikanka, from Ukrania mountains, Fantasia have a visual look to people who look at it.... Ohh

I’m reading ‘Collide’ by Bal Khabra and I got to page 93 and it to the part to the book where Summer and Aiden are in the library and he gives her hair tie back

“you kept my hair tie?”

“now that I think about it, it is kind of creepy. Who in their right mind holds a girls hair tie for weeks without having plans to use or return it”

It made think of the movie ‘To All He Boys I��ve Loved Before’ where Peter holds onto LJ’s hair tie!

Hi hello sorry if someone asked you this before but are there any books, resources, or anything that helped you Improve as an artist that you would recommend others to check out if any.

If not that's okay

Basically, anything by Diana Wynne Jones.

The Chronicles of Chrestomanci with its parallel universes, rare enchanters with nine lives, and much more. There's six novels and some short stories as well.

Also, the Howl's Moving Castle trilogy and, yes, the Studio Ghibli film was based off of the first book. However, the book is different from the film in a lot of ways and definitely has more funny moments. The way Howl and Sophie appear in the book sequels is honestly so interesting and, especially in the third one, hilarious.

Seriously. I'm starting to block y'all on sight it has been quite long enough of a campaign to get you weaned off this terf's books and shows (and now games!)

Alice as the rabbit miraculous holder. The left one is the old design, and the right is the new one I tried to change to add more "the white rabbit" references.

Which one do you prefer?
