You were bitten by a vampire but you didn't die, instead the vampire died. The next day, you're captured by vampires and marked as unsafe for consumption. All because you had a rare, incurable condition in your blood. Cool, now you are a vampire slayer who kills vamps by letting 'em bite you.

Fantasy setting with magic neatly organised into elemental spheres, except each magic-using culture disagrees with all the others about what the primordial elements are, what their associations and correspondences are, and even how many of them there are. Spells always interact with other spells from the same magic system as though its elemental theory is complete, consistent, and correct, but when spells from two different magic systems come into contact it all goes a bit sideways, often in ways that require flowcharts to explain. Like, you think Ground Type vs. Rock Type is bad? There are five separate, mutually exclusive spheres of magic all called "Fire". The Sylvan Confederacy's "Water" magic explodes on contact with the Empire of the Five Pillars' "Water" magic and nobody knows why.

"So, you're the infamous Doctor Jekyll, or should I call you Mister Hyde? Either way...De-light-ed to meet you. I'm something of a chemist myself. I've been admiring this serum of yours. Oh what's this in my hand? Just a light. Oh no need to give me that look I'll be ever so careful around all these flammable chemicals...If you give me what I want."

concept: werewolves don’t have a pack structure. during the full moon, they are so obsessed with feeding and letting out steam that they can’t focus on such social nuances. however, in human form, they do flock together for warmth and advice, kind of like group therapy.

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you

southern reach trilogy is making me so so insane as a sci fi fan who loves when stories are puzzles And as a writer who has thought a lot about craft & the intersection of these two is smth i may never be able to articulate properly. like every piece of speculative fiction is actually also about the real world & what sets apart truly good speculative fiction is when it Knows that. this story IS about climate change. and also this story is about aliens. and the inherent horror of existing in a world you do not understand and cannot understand. i want to have all the information i want to finish the puzzle but also i don't because not being able to see the completed picture is the point. i think the words on the tower wall are in iambic fucking meter.

Hi,

I was wondering if you've drawn any bug stuff. I love your work so much but am terrible at navigating Tumblr.

I'm an entomologist and love all things invertebrates really. I really enjoyed the fine china drawings.

Why yes... I have drawn bugs, and slugs, and snails, and arachnids. I plan to do so much more!
