I'm taking a ceramics focused archeology class this semester and I NEED to stop saying "oh, sick Secret of the Scarlet Hand reference" when I do my readings.

For anyone curious the references were Palenque, THE WHOLE MAYA, and Cinnabar.

hey nancy drew fandom,

specifically henry bolet jr. fans, did you know that henry's voice actor, k. brian neel (he/they), is a high school drama teacher?

i sure did!!!! because he was MY high school drama teacher!!!! and theyre fucking awesome!!! they're very funny and kind and considerate. i used to spend all my time in the classroom to the point that most of my friends in his classes didn't even realise i wasn't actually in any of his classes. when i stopped attending and actually started doing other things, my now-wife (who was in his class) literally started worrying about me 😭

anyways, cool story bro, here's some stuff that happened in his classroom:

1. one time i showed one of my friends a jerma985 edit and i said "jerma" and very suddenly in a different part of the room he goes "i LOVE jerma!"

2. there was the time we were playing this game "kitty wants a corner" where you go around in a circle saying "kitty wants a corner" to people while others run around behind you trying to swap spots. whoever loses their spot is the kitty. while we were doing this, i swapped spots with a friend and slammed directly into him. for approximately three very long seconds we were still and i was just leaning against him and then i fell on the ground and slipped trying to get up because of how sweaty i was.

3. when he had a classroom full of teenagers asking him to watch bluey, which was exactly what they did the entire lunch period

4. my friend (at the time) murdered him with a balloon sword once!

Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)

Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!

This bed could easily be on a boat. Carved into a corner, it's surrounded by drawers and shelves, offering a maximum of storage in a minimum of space.

The Not So Big House - A Blueprint for the Way We Really Live, 1998

[werezolft]

The Dead Boy Detectives (and crew), have been occupying my thoughts the past few weeks. I’ve watched the show on repeat, rewatched Sandman, actually started reading the Sandman graphic novels (currently on Seasons of Mist, the introduction of the Dead Boys), and I’ve started drawing the episodes in the style of old teen detective novels.

I started these before getting super into behind the scenes details. I went down a bit of a rabbit-hole last night, and was delighted to learn that show-runner Steve Yockey wanted the show to be reminiscent of The Hardy Boys, one of the main influences of these covers.

The accuracy of their depictions varies, I don’t think they always really look like themselves. But I had a lot of fun.

I hope to continue designing these for a bit while the obsession holds, and maybe I can properly bring in purples, Crystal’s hero color.

Image 2: Three teenagers, Charles, Crystal and Edwin explore a blue green cave with a skull covered in dandelions on a center shrine. Charles holds a flashlight, Crystal is climbing in while her eyes have gone white during a psychic episode, and Edwin is playing lookout. At the top of the page in yellow italics is the text “Dead Boy Detectives” and below in off-white bold caps “THE CASE OF THE DANDELION SHRINE”.

Image 3: Edwin, Charles and Crystal peering around the corner of a yellow-green wooden hallway, looking at the silhouette of a man swinging an axe. They have varying worried expressions. At the top, in yellow italics is “Dead Boy Detectives” and in off-white bold caps “THE CASE OF DEVLIN HOUSE”.

Image 4: Crystal and Niko stare at each other across a green hallway. Niko has her left hand raised and is surrounded by glowing images, stars, hearts, moons, butterflies, rainbows, and sparkles. The cast a faint pink light. At the top in yellow italics is “Dead Boy Detectives”, and in off-white bold caps “THE CASE OF THE DANDELION SHRINE”.

Image 5: Charles and Edwin tied to chairs in a golden yellow room. Charles has an iron collar chained to his neck, and his wrists are bound. Edwin is in a white tank top, and his mouth is gagged with a clothe. On the wall is the shadow of the witch Esther, with her cane. In the corner is a large cabinet, Niko peers out of. On top of the cabinet is perched a crow, Monty. At the top, in yellow italics “Dead Boy Detectives” and in off-white bold caps “THE CASE OF THE HUNGRY SNAKE”.

Image 6: Edwin, Charles and Crystal stand on stairs overlooking the gray sea and red sky. A giant angler fish, Angie, is staring at them. In the corner, on top of the hill is a classic red and white striped lighthouse. At the top, in yellow italics “Dead Boy Detectives” and in off-white bold caps “THE CASE OF THE LIGHTHOUSE LEAPERS”.

NANCY DREW 1.14 | The Sign of the Uninvited Guest

Finally finished this little project for my design portfolio. The fact that there hasn't been a Nancy Drew animated series is a crime.

"you don't have the context and aren't invited to this conversation" is such a good line to use in many situations but it's from a Nancy Drew ghost hunting game
