every time Nhamashal says something like “ew how can you stand having dirt on you” all i can think of is the player character going

[bess3714]

I'm always thinking about this page. He gets stabbed by Jason, pulls pieces of a rusty batarang out of his chest, talks to himself the whole way through the process, and then passes out and faceplants. He's going to get tetanus. What an icon 👏

Hey digital artists, what canvas size do you typically do your pieces on?

Just curious if I'm hamstringing myself with the size canvas I use. For reference, I tend to work at 1500 px - 3000 px maximum (before I size it down for posting).

I am going to take a sick leave today, because I AM UNWELL.

I need like a key ring or something that says "butch bait". It is essential for my health!

Whoo boy. Lots of things going on here, many of them Not Good, so I threw myself into video games and reading. Played a whole bunch of Project Sekai, so much Project Sekai I have to now force myself to take a break from Project Sekai because my hands hurt so much. I was absolutely SPOILED by my friends on my birthday. I look at my little Miku figure everyday and it brings me SO much joy!! Got an embroidery machine and I already have a couple jobs lined up so hopefully I can make a little bit of Fun Money. At the very least I'm hoping to make enough to upgrade the program so I can make my own freehand designs! I read SIX (6) books this month and I annotated in the margins for the first time! It was fun, but I think it was only fun because I was leaving notes for a friend. I don't think it's something I would enjoy on my own so I won't be making a habit of it. Still! Fun and new and exciting!

Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Okay Initially I rated this four stars, but sitting on it for a month I ADORED this. It left so many good feelings. Fun and silly and gross, I want more like this.

Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A reread! Still love it! I'd forgotten so much it was nice to revisit and about halfway through I remembered the ending which was fun. Opted for the audio this time which was absolutely delightfully done.

Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch ⭐⭐⭐ - Not my favorite, but still fun. I find it a Choice that the use of outdated slurs was a hint at a plot point. Peter made a promise to a child, so there's no way that will come back to bite him!

The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai ⭐⭐- I listened to the audiobook and I think that didn't help my enjoyment of this. I switched to a hard copy in the last 20% and found my opinions of the two main characters switching. I didn't like Nehal's narrator, so I didn't like Nehal. But reading it myself she was more tolerable. Aside from Giorgina having an abortion, this could have easily been a young adult novel, and even then it wouldn't necessarily have been out of place. The writing didn't feel like an adult novel, which I hate saying but I know of no other way to voice my feelings on this.

Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- PERFECT. WONDERFUL. LOVED EVERY BIT! I know I just complained about a book reading like YA, but listen. Elatsoe was SO good. The love Elatsoe has for her family and her family for her is so refreshing. She's ace. Her loved ones love her. She loves them. And she's ace. It's not about Being Ace, but still! There she is! The audio was so easy and pleasant to listen to. I want my own copy because I KNOW I want to read this again. Absolutely delightful.

Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch ⭐⭐⭐- didn't enjoy it as much as the first, but enjoyed it more than the second. Typing the title out made a lightbulb go off and I Got It. The buried alive chapter had me squirming. Abigail returned. There are an awful lot of guns in this series for being set in London and here they still had to poke fun at the American being trigger happy (she was). I'm a little burnt out on this series for now, but I'll return to it in the future.

June is bringing a birthday tea party for my mom, finishing a knit hat for my mom, making a homebound sketchbook for my friend, and whatever books I feel in the mood for. I'd say throw suggestions at me, but the instant someone says YOU MUST READ THIS my brain goes hm. No uwu. I think I want to make Monthly Reading Goals photos again, that was fun! Only book set in stone this month is The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi which I've already started and am enjoying a lot so far. Good omens and good vibes for June, I am speaking that into existence.

Sometimes I find that writing a very detailed timeline of what happened in a character's life truly helps in clearing some ideas and solidifying them, because while writing down the important dates in their lives, I get to also double check the events that are occuring in that particular period of time and decide if they are going to have a significant hand in what's happening or not.

Like, take the year I choose for Zaynab and Karam's birth (considerably late, considering how long Mephisto and Aranea had been together at that point, but I blame the elven's relatively low fertility for that): It was the same year in which Asmodeus became a God, so that made me decide for Aranea to escape Cania on her own volition and give birth alone because she was terrified that something could happen to them now that Asmodeus's power had increased and that had sent Mephisto into a frenzy.

Also, I am so immensely happy of having chosen to create characters with extremely long lives: it gives me PLENTY of time for them to have countless adventures and have all sorts of situations happening to them.

Now I am finishing Asra's bio (and I hope to be able to upload it tonight) and then I will be able to finish Hiraeth's as well.

I truly cannot wait to share them with you all <3

this is going to be SO MUCH FUN.

okay sorry for complaining again but like 99 percent of reddie shippers STILL genuinely believe that there wasn’t a reddie kiss because ransone is homophobic which is true but Why? is this your first concern after he harassed minors on instagram??? OH GOD FORBID THERE WASNT A REDDIE KISS!!! like Guys. do you really think they would’ve put it in th first place. and so many people STILL believe this rumor

today i’ve been imagining my f/o walking beside me as i go to class and do errands and stuff. and he’s super tall so it’s been fun imagining having “scary dog privileges” while i walk around.

he’s in ordinary clothes since we’re just walking around, but because he normally wears a mask, i imagined him wearing a baseball cap, a face mask, and sunglasses. it’s been very funny imagining everyone’s reactions to this big buff man walking this much shorter, nerdy little creature to class.

and when we were walking together, our knuckles would brush sometimes 💖🥰💖 which is typically about as close as we get to hand-holding, since we both have sensory sensitivities around hands and touching.

i love my big buff scary boyfriend!!! 🥹💖🥰💘

God, just the thought of Dick knowing that Bruce was going to die young. How old was he when he figured that out? How long was he anticipating this heartbreak and it still was so overpowering that it was impossible to prepare for?

I'm rewatching Yu-Gi-Oh 'cause I got on a random kick of watching people do challenge runs of Yu-Gi-Oh video games and that made me want to.

And Mai has such a prominent role at the start of the series. And I'm reminded of how much I loved her as a kid. And I'm just.

Ah. You're the culprit. You're the reason I like the minor-antagonist bitchy high-key femme anime girlies with a secret soft-spot brought out by the protag squad so much. The progenitor. The source. The origin.
