why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

look at this tiny tiny ancient depiction of a goose sheltering babies beneath her wings. 🥺

it's not very detailed but look at the postures of the animals. And the way the goslings are not very young but recognisable as gangly and halfway grown.

Greek, Late Archaic Period, about first half of 5th century B.C.

you may have seen achilles in his miserable blanket burrito but have you seen odysseus Sitting Like That while appealing to achilles in his miserable blanket burrito

achilles looking all "make him stop make him stop make him stop"

Another one! This one's from 2021. Just corny vibes, no big story. : ) You can read Phrasebook vol 1 here, and vol 2 here. If you feel so inclined, you can buy digital PDFs of all of the comics on my web shop!

I'll get vol 4 done ... eventually... someday... hahahahahahah! It's been quite a while. Aiming for 5-6 in total i think. We'll see what happens!

All-Purpose God, 2019.

Posting some old comics. This is vol 1 of a series of short comics I've been making in my spare time, under the umbrella "Phrasebook". They're each based on a phrase or word in Chinese that I've been thinking about. You can read vol 2 ("Dragon Whiskers)" here, and vol 3 ("Tailwind") here.

here comes another volume of Phrasebook! This is vol 2, "Dragon Whiskers". Also 2019. You can read vol 1, "All-Purpose God", here. And vol 3, "Tailwind" here.

Had a dream that I got a text from the "Arcane Sorcerer's Guild" that they failed to properly set off my alarm this morning, and that they would be sending me $20 as a consolation.

I then woke up about 2 hours after my IRL alarm went off.

girls don’t want boys, girls want to dance in the woods with the god dionysus and tear any man who dares to interrupt their bacchic revelry limb from limb

Look, I dont know a lot about saints and Catholicism, but I know St. Agatha is always depicted with her breasts on a plate, and that’s sure something

[craneberri]

and people say the classics aren’t relatable

silly thing

every time i see trad gender roles people being weird about fibercraft i wanna tell them

-medieval and early modern knitting guilds were full of men learning and perfecting fancy knitting techniques to impress rich clients

-in cold, wet climates like the scottish highlands knitting was done by the whole family, in fact it was the perfect activity to do while a man was out on a fishing boat or in the pasture with his sheep and cattle

-men who were away from women for a long time had to know how to knit and sew at least well enough to mend their own clothes. soldiers knitted. sailors knitted. cowboys and frontiersmen knitted. vikings probably knitted (actually they would have been doing a kind of proto knitting called nalbinding, but that's beside the point). all those guys the far right love to treat as ultra masculine heroes were sitting around their barracks and campfires at night darning their socks and knitting themselves little hats
