Hello hi I’ve got a batch of Cryptid Sightings self-indulgence here
The first doodle is extra self-indulgent, because I love Purge and I think CS! Sun/Moon would love it too. I’d recommend giving it a listen!! I may or may not have an entire notes doc on how the lyrics fit them perfectly.
Oh, and on the second!! A little fun fact that was too minute to squeeze in there. The reason Sun/Moon are huddled in a blanket is because the hunter wanted them to get the Experience™️ of movie watching. Only they’re too big. Notice those patches? The hunter ended up just giving them their whole comforter instead hhshdhdkj
Not much to say on the third, other than that it’s a reference to this. The hunter doesn’t have a kid (probably), but if they did, you know they’d find a way to relate the name to a cryptid of some kind.
But anyways!! @naffeclipse here’s your weekly dose of brainrot <3
Also some close-ups of the hunter under the cut because I’m obsessed with drawing them

Gonna be fr with you chat, work/research this week kind of one-hit killed me, and we still have a LOT to do next week to get ready for the semester/start of the study (and I have a good bit of work to do for my thesis) I also have to finish moving & unpacking my apartment and do the final for my summer class
Tl, DR; If I get a chapter out next week it'll be at the end of the week and no sooner than that
Very much appreciate the paitence and support, hopefully we'll get back on schedule soon <3

It's not exactly what he's saying, but the idea that something is not literature or not by what it is but by the way it's engaged way, opening up the idea we give it worth by treating it as worthy, that a thing is not loveable until it is loved, that when I read a book that may not have the esteem around it that others do but I take the time to care and read carefully for the good the true and the beautiful it is elevated beyond what it might be in another's hands. (But that taken in tension with Lewis's earlier point that good reading is receiving rather than using-- that you take the text as it is with its own art and ideas rather than trying to read yourself and your ideas into the text) so that there is a listening and a receiving but also a pouring back into it our own effort and care.
So a book does not simply exist as literature, it is made literature by caring being given to it. And just because a book has not yet been read that way does not mean it cannot be.

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3
Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could
Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)
Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each
A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani
Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions
VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources
(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)
Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)
Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)
The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)
Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)
Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun
Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good
Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas
Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!
Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists
VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about
Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with
MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows
oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)
Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately
honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

"The snow is already GAY Jacqueline, WE'RE the ones MAKING IT!"
I feel like, in a way, this is a spiritual successor to this one lol. If Jacqueline doesn't confuse Jack at least once (1 time) per day, is she even doing her do diligence as both annoying little sister and middle child?
Bonus: this is by far the cutest Winter I have ever drawn
Happy pride! :)
[based on this classic]
[winter and jacqueline frost are my oc's. you can read about em here! they appear in the tag a lot but hey man, you gotta plug yourself when you can 🤷🏻♀️]
[that could've been phrased better]
omg okokok I was gonna put this all in the tags but my tags are ALREADY long as fuck but guys. you guys. do you know how I got these ding dang photos of the thing? I TOOK MY SKETCH BOOK INTO WORK AND USED THE BIG SCANNER. THE SCANNER THAT INTERNET ARCHIVE USES FOR BOOKS. THAT KINDA SCANNER. WE CALL IT THE LIZARD (it has lizard in it's name, I think) AND IT TOOK QUALITY TIFFS! That I had to flip to png's to post. BUT STILL! I GOT THE GOOD LIGHTING, EVEN IF SOME QUALITY IS LOST!
I mean, it's got layers and layers and layers of marker and metallic marker and pencil crayon and the like, so the smudgeness is not surprising, lol. Playing around with colours for the cold front was fun! I'll figure out my limited colour palette with Jack's usual fit at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wasn't sure if I wanted to add Winter or not but I asked the jury (since the og meme has jesse on a ladder) and the jury said YES and she's my favourite part of this whole ding dang thing. I drew her first. AND coloured her first. She has existed in all her =D glory a better part of the week! Best thing I've ever drawn hands down, I will NEVER top that lmao
anyway. scrimbly forthcoming at the end of the week hopefully, barring my busy ass weekend getting in the way! And I HAVE gotten the June prompts in ye olde inbox--y'all have given me some PUZZLERS. Has my brain doing the BIG THINK

a tiiiiny inbetween-y update 🏎️
ch. 04 is floating around 29k as of today (23rd feb) and there is still so much more i want to include, but whew. i have been crunching this past week and i'll probably still be writing this chapter for some time.
that being said, i still want to release ch. 02 in march, but i will be pushing the release date from the 3rd to the 10th -- just to lessen the pressure as i finish the edits.
as always, thanks for the patience!! excited to share more stuff soon! :-) 🏁
