In His Shadow (AKA, Dammit Anakin, go and get some kriffing therapy, for F*ck's sake!

Fancied drawing some good old Mustafar Anakin (why is his lightsaber red? Aesthetic) though you could also interpret it as suitless Vader... either way I am super pleased with how this turned out... Enjoy

SLYTHERIN!HARRY ANNIVERSARY!

Here’s an updated version. Our long haired darling is no more, unfortunately, because it didn’t translate well into my new art style; sorry to everyone who liked it better that way :((.

Looking for ideas for the names of the snakes, because I’m dumb, head empty. If you think of something cool, let me know 👉👈

From a 9th century Irish manuscript, the phrase ‘massive hangover’ (Latheirt) written in the ancient Irish text Ogham. The monk must have been having a very rough day…..

Another amazing drawing from my friend :D

Actually liked how this came out!He has a fair bit of metallic pen on him here and there, been enjoying adding a bit of metallic pen lately, think they add something special.

Guess this guy is an OC, I just wanted to draw a smoking pumpkin head man that cigarette smoke comes out of his mouth. Fancied it coming out of the eyes too but they weren’t quite working out for me but I’ll be honest and say I much prefer the eyeless and noseless look lol

(also, yes, I know the hand looks kinda weird but I intended it too. Plus, I’m not the best at hands between you and me)

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost

The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction

The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity

We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either

Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender

The gods didn’t actually have animal heads

Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)

The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous

Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”

THERE'S THIS WEBSITE

THAT GENERATES PUNS FOR YOU AND YOU CAN LOOK UP VIA A WORD OR PHRASE.

CHECK IT OUT, IVE BEEN LAUGHING AT IT FOR HOURS. 

[xsanityinquestionx]

This is a little mixed book rec of Glbt literature (m/m). “Mixed” meaning whereas some are YA novels (YA), others are adult fiction or simply erotica (they contain explicit sex scenes). Also, it’s a mix of fantasy/ sc-fi and historical lit. 

I picked the titles randomly and tried for some which I haven’t seen mentioned around here a thousand times already - though I simply couldn’t refrain from putting TGGTVAV on this list xP

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee - You may have heard of this one before, and I can only highly recommend it to you, should you not have read it yet. Adventure, pirates, love, and more, set in Europe in the early 18th century - mix it all up with the most adorable, wonderful characters and lots of sass, and what else could you ask for? Just read it! P.S: there will be a follow-up, which is narrated by Monty’s sister Felicity. (YA)

Timekeeper by Tara Sim (Timekeeper Trilogy, vol. 1) - Steampunk (or rather clockpunk?), an interesting take on magic and time, spirits, and two very adorable boys. (YA)

The Lightning-Struck Heart by TJ Klune (Tales of Verania, vol. 1) - You need something funny, really funny, something you should better not read in public because you might just crack up? Then look no further. This is one of the most hilarious books I’ve read in years. Though some jokes may be a bit too long, just as there are some scenes which have no purpose other than to deliver a joke - it’s funny, so who cares! This is a hilarious fantasy tale full of sassy, snarky, sarcastic remarks, witty banter, incompetent villains, sex-obsessed dragons (well all the characters are kind of sex-obsessed, to be honest),  a hornless gay unicorn, and lots of sex puns. 

Gatekeeper by Rayne Auster - Fantasy, a prophecy, a world in chaos, betrayal… the usual stuff.

Frost Fair by Erastes - Historical, set in London 1814 during the great Frost Fair on the completely frozen Thames.

Transgressions by Erastes - Historical, set in 1642 England during the Civil War. Some trigger warning is due here as there is quite the mention of physical and mental abuse. I’ve read this book years ago and can’t recall if there were any explicit scenes or if it was just mentioned. Also contains some Bdsm.

Vassily the Beautiful by Angel Martinez - Sci-Fi, warnings: drug use and abuse; genetically enhanced humans; beautiful prose; interesting characters; and with a touch of good old Cinderella.

Proxy by Alex London (Proxy, vol.1) - Dystopia; diverse characters, lots of action, technology and what could go wrong, plus let’s really hope society never comes down to this - though we might be close enough… (YA)

The Culling by Steven dos Santos (The Torch Keeper, vol.1) - Dystopia, fast-paced action, thrilling, oftentimes heartbreaking and simply cruel - really, poor babies ;A; (YA)
