I'm sorry, I don't believe that anyone who has read regularly since childhood would still count Harry Potter as the best book they've ever read.

Lord of the Rings animated in a Cartoon Saloon inspired art style: Frodo at the Grey Havens.

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

Saw some lady at the train station with a long flowing white skirt, walking a dog with a long flowing white fur, and they both were glowing equally in the contre-jour light of sunshine. Had to draw a rough sketch of them and then shittily shade it on my phone so I'll remember to try to draw them later.

Weird when you first start paying attention to animal noises and realize they don't actually sound like the words we use

"What do you want from a remake" I DON'T WANT THEM. I DON'T WANT ANOTHER SOULLESS NOSTALGIA-FILLED CASH-GRAB. I DON'T WANT ANY OF THEM. I DON'T WANT ADAPTATIONS THAT KILL THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE OF THE THING THEY WERE BASED UPON NEITHER THE SHOT-BY-SHOT DESATURATED RECREATIONS. I WANT ORIGINAL STORIES!!! NOT REMAKES OF MOVIES THAT AIN'T EVEN 30 YEARS OLD!!!​AAGGGGGHHH

what drew you to the stained-glass style for your art? you're very good at it, and i love your mermay work!

Ahh thank you so very much! The secret Deep Lore of why I became obsessed with stained glass art: Early on for my fancomic adaptation of The Hobbit @retellingthehobbit, I came up with an idea that the art style would change depending on the perspective of the characters. Here's the Very First concept art I posted way back in 2019:

My "default" art style was much closer to "Bilbo's," and I wanted the dwarves' art style to feel like the opposite of his-- and to show that they came from a land that valued their own unique kind of art that was very different form his. So it needed to be clean instead of sketchy, geometric instead of organic, metallic/'stained glass' instead of hand-painted. It was initially a struggle, but as I researched artists who did similar stylized work (Cartoon Saloon studios, Jin Guo, actual old public domain stained glass designs, etc) I fell in love with it!

I love how anatomy and perspective are less important in this geometric art, because the emphasis is instead on Symbolism and Meaning. And I also love how stained glass-like art innately makes something feel like it's depicting an Important holy Semi-Mythical Narrative.

Long answer, but thank you for the ask!

I'm keeping an eye out for heat stroke in my area and I can't figure out what a full body flush would look like on dark skin since all the pictures are just fake training pictures. Anyone have video/pics of a heat stroke flush on black skin?

Spent tonight at a local short film festival. One of the shorts was made by two 12 year olds in their backyard and it was the best short of the entire night

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice
