Ooh, pretty! A DIY constellation notebook cover by Sophie at The Things She Makes.

I think it's been crossposted already but guess I should post this here as well! The cover for The Raven Boys graphic novel I have been working on for the last couple of years is finally out! If you're wondering why I haven't posted art in a while it's because all I've been doing is drawing these kids non-stop (in between teaching, and pottery, and following my chickens around).

It has been such a pleasure to work on and an enormous amount of pressure to get them just right. It's an impossible but worthy goal, and as a fan of the books myself I know just how much people care about this series. I hope once you get to see it in August 2025 you'll be rewarded for the wait. You can read more about the book here, and find preorder links here.

i genuinely love love love the iconoclast path in rogue trader SO MUCH. its one of the things that ultimately enamors me to the warhammer franchise as a whole despite empathy being so antithetical to its world and genre. its not just because iconoclast is the Nice Person route or because it subverts the foundational principle that In The Grim Dark Universe There Is Only War............ but mostly i love it because its the best way to actually engage w the morality system presented in 40k and explore it the way it deserves to be explored. its so unique parsing through the choices of the game and navigating how one might actually ACHIEVE goodness through - or more accurately without - the lens of liberal modern morality. because adhering to what we presently would call morality is arguably crueler than some of the dogmatic choices - or at least the game wants you to reflect on that and decide if that kind of morality still has value or not. and i like that they give you the opportunity to do that. youre rarely rewarded for kindness in this game and in fact your oftentimes actively punished for it (void shadows was a TRIAL for my iconoclast rt) which presents another question: are you being good because of a reward you believe you'lll be entitled to, or are you being good for the sake of goodness itself??? in saying that i do LOVE how there IS payoff in the iconoclast route eventually - when youve bleed and suffered for it enough. but theres a quality to it thats so..... so BITTERSWEET, because yippee you Empathed your way to the top - but also what IS the top?? congratulations, you are the kindest autocrat in the most bloodthirsty fascist regime in human history, sitting on your throne on a voidship run by all your slaves and serfs who die by the hundreds every time you make a warpjump for some dumbass sidequest. what the fuck. can you actually call that goodness ????? is whatever goodness-adjacent thing youve achieved worth it even if you cant change the system in the ways that matter ??? lastly - the iconoclast ending is both so wildly universe-altering to the point of feeling like a heretical ending - but also kind of. not mattering really lol. because even though its hopeful, the "good" ending still feels soooo tentative with the likelihood that its very likely not going to last. but that in itself is my favorite take away from playing this game as The Last Good Guy in the Galaxy: because the love DIDNT change anything. and it DOESNT save anyone. but ohhhhhhhhh my fucking god does it absolutely matter that it was there.

I found an absolute treasure today. A Penguin Illustrated Classics edition of Pride and Prejudice from 1938.

(I love that you can see on the inside of the dust jacket on the bottom right the price in 'old' money of 6d... aka sixpence or half a shilling!)

So, this poll is over now, and a lot of people in the notes brought up stuff that I'd overlooked. Therefore, I'm doing it again, with more options this time.

I would have put a whole lot more options, but unfortunately, I can only do twelve. Again, please share more detail in the tags or replies if you want to.

i started reading his quantum leap book i got like a good couple of years ago and i swear to God this is like content made for specifically me and only me and mind.

they get into sam's relationship with the new body he leapt into, they never shy away from sam and al meaning everything to each other, PROJECT QUANTUM LEAP CONTENT!?!?, everything is going wrong literally because Tina disappeared, i thought there was she/he/it ziggy content but she hates it/its pronouns </3 they kept going back and forth between he/him and it/its within like the back to back paragraphs with each other like wowie, THE BEGINNING PUNCHES ME STRAIGHT IN THE GUT THEY PULLED NO PUNCHES he doesn't remember what home was but every bone in his body wants to go home?? him pleading asking the entity taking him to each leap if he's going home this time??? fuuuck dude (also interesting the entity looking at him like a bug under a microscope i fw that),

"At some level he needed Al, at once just his best friend, more than breath or vision or gravity,"

HELLO HELLO HELLO?!?, also there's a scene with al and this little kid which im always a sucker for it was so cute.

JUST LIKE FUUUCK MAN, if no one got me Ashley McConnell got me in 1992

been thinking abt book 4 again,,,

[crow-caller]

Rearranges bookshelf as flatmate brought the entire skullduggery pleasant series home. And those lads take up a lot of space.

I've actually tried to prioritise a lot of books i like/have read for the mini shelf here, but there's a number I haven't read/may not like. Top shelf all bangers (also me books -_-)
