hello I just wanted you to know that I stumbled on your blog when I was a kid (I think it was through AO3?) and I looked at your "some things rats won't do" tag for law school adventures in awe, and now I'm a law student, and every so often I'll come back just to reassure myself that yes, the world is this weird, and it's okay to struggle a little bit. and I hope you are having a good day, and if not, then that the bad times end soon for you. stay warm and may all your cookies be perfect
Thank you, anon! Today I answered work emails and made cookies for our office holiday party, and---deliberately did not think, even a little bit, about how I've been posting on this blog since November 2011 or how that's almost 40% of my life right there.
The good news is that it is okay to struggle a little bit. With law school, definitely! But also just with being human. It's a complicated proposition, to be in the world.
Fortunately, sometimes there are cookies.

i really liked the design of this shirt but 1) too many dollars 2) i wasn’t about to stand in that merch line for an hour and 3) it’s not on the website anymore??? idk
anyway i have decided to embark on a fun project in which i recreate this design but instead of the city names it’s the 8 ball from that show, which means it won’t be done until april! so i’m gonna post progress updates as i do them. graphic design is my passion or whatever
here is the current draft updated through 3/4:
i’m doing it in illustrator because i have access through my school and also it’s easier to move things around as stuff gets added. i don’t know yet if i’ll try to make it into a shirt or maybe a poster or something once it’s done
my main obstacle to making it really similar to the original is these fucking song titles jesus christ. it took me like 5 hours noodling to get the current composition. slump isn’t even one of their longest like if they play get busy in raleigh i’m cooked. i am having fun though so that’s what matters
finding the fonts is also very time consuming but still fun, there are some i straight up can’t find anywhere (and the image isn’t hq enough to be able to tell exactly what they look like anyway) so for some of them i’m just gonna use the best match and then convert to shapes and fuck around until it looks right; i did it with the 3.3 and 3.4 idk if it’s noticeable
i’ll rb this post with more updates!! hopefully posting will also structure the time i work on it so i don’t end up completely missing schoolwork due to hyperfocusing on this

brennans reasoning for hob eating the feather is literally so true i absolutely fucking get it its the most effective way to get something as close to you as possible and the most goblin-esque way to show love or appreciation for something. a letter from your favorite author that you love? eat it. a feather from your something-just-happened-between-us-and-i-see-you-in-a-new-light peer? eat it. it reminds me of how when you go to your loved ones houses on holidays and they cook for you and you clear your plate -- you love the food and appreciate the gesture and recognize it as a gesture of love so you fucking eat it you eat the love and its the best

I’ve had an insane chiscara meeting in Fontaine post-Irminsul AU sitting in my head for he past few weeks and I don’t know what to do with it. Every time I remember it I lose my mind. Scaramouche getting involved in Fontaine’s mess for Childe’s sake is so interesting. I need to put these gay little Harbingers in a microwave.
Edit: to all you guys liking this post, there’s writing in the reblogs. Food for you
