Blue hours and twilight sky illustrations for my daily meteorological fiction project, Reports From Unknown Places About Undescribable Events (Twitter, Instagram, Mastodon).
Keep reading for the companion texts.
August 18th - We report, in between two dreams (nonsense dreams, foggy images and whispers, barely more than that), the sky is coming alive before the sun has even risen. The blue light that is coming through the window is not enough to make us open our eyes all the way.
October 26th - We report, deep into the deep blue, the road shrunk into the single ray of light of our car's headlights. The sky is coming down low on the horizon, and we have not come across another car for a long time. This blue hour is turning dark.
November 4th - We report, here where the sun poured into the horizon a little while ago now, the clouds are catching lights from the city. It has been a humid day, and we know that as long as the city lights are on, the sky will remain this colour.
November 11th - We report: we saw the moon rise and disappear behind clouds. The sky has washed away. This is it for now. The sun is not going to rise from the sea, the sea is going to swallow this beach, all things will get darker still - the earth will not shake. One more night in our life.
December 1st - We report: first day of December, and we are still here under the same sky as everybody else, still moving forward even though we sometimes have trouble with directions. The birds are all leaving further South, but we have decided to stay, for now, as the sky keeps darkening.
December 14th - We report: there is hardly any hope for us to see the Geminids peak, this year, but the snow is more than enough of a consolation. We took a walk in silence. It did not snow for a very long time, and the layer of white was thin everywhere we went. Still, the country was silent.
January 18th - We report Jupiter and Saturn at nightfall today; we expect Venus to follow shortly after, although the sky might be overcast by then. It is still too bright for us to be able to see stars, but we know that the Aquarius constellation is right there, rising over the horizon.
April 4th - We report that a few owls are living around this place. They seem to be crepuscular, and they usually come out around this time. If we stay really still, we can hear them going about their business, and even see them sometimes. The sound of their howls is comfortingly unsettling.
May 14th - We report: we are on the tail end of the blue hour, when everything fades to grey. It has gotten colder since the sun set, but the whole day has been a bit windy and chilly anyway. Now, as the light becomes dimmer and dimmer, we try to take hold of the moment.
May 25th - We report: the night is only beginning to settle, and the clouds loom dark and velvet in the cold twilight. When the dim blue light weighed upon us like water, pressing everything down until we could hardly see anything anymore, everything grey - we took a slow path to sleep.

This is the weirdest shit Ive ever seen. I cant believe someone actively spends their time pretending to be Sherlock online. Jesus christ. You know theres a world outside, right?
You probably don't own a mirror at home then because I can assure you the 'weirdest shit' one can ever see is your deformed thing that doesn't even deserve to call itself a face. Whatever you mean with 'pretending', I am for sure not the one pretending, like you are pretending to be someone with decency by sending hate anonymously to keep your reputation clean.
Well moron you thought this would stay anonymous, maybe you should have not sent hate messages at the exact same time as sending this ask. Not very clever, in fact extremely stupid. So why not show the world who is so spinelessly hiding behind anonymity and blocking me to avoid consequences of their vile hateful words? Some idiot called @sweetenedcondensedmeat
Tumblr media
And just taking a look at you or listening to a single neuron-destroying word you utter would make anyone want to bathe in acid to end the misery of having to interact with you. Because even the slow painful death of your tissue getting slowly dissolved by acid is less painful than having to deal with your stupidity.  You might have cowardly blocked me and made yourself now inaccessible to me, however you did not block all my dear followers, who for sure gladly observe someone spewing their hateful bile at others. I mean I am not advising anyone to go teach this person a lesson or giving them a taste of their own medicine, merely showing it to all of you, so you know what kind of person this is, and everyone can decide for themselves what they will do with this information. It would be a shame if they had to face any consequences for their hate, wouldn't it? I don’t know if there might be a feature on this website to report such behaviour, would be a shame if enough people reported them and they would have to face justice. 
Tumblr media
For someone who claims this on their blog you are for sure not a very loving person. The hypocrisy is so amusing that someone who sends someone not only hateful asks, also sends harassing private messages and writes their idiotic brain malfunctions on my posts claims that someone else is wasting their time with their actions. Maybe a mirror would really be a good investment for you, to take a look at yourself and notice your own actions before judging others. Although you would probably turn to stone as soon as you look at your own horrible looks like a basilisk. But that would be an improvement for the whole world, so please do look into a mirror and turn to stone. So thank you for harassing me, because this is just hilarious with how stupid you are, thinking I wouldn’t know it’s you, and believing with your pathetic delusional superiority complex that you are smarter or better than me. My diaphragm already hurts from all the laughing. Just pathetic.

The museum near my mum's was hosting a Raymond Briggs retrospective and it wasn't until we went today that I realised the absolutely outsize influence Briggs quietly had on my development and sensibilities as an artist. I've never really thought to flag him as one of my Favourite Illustrators but I realised walking around the room that his comics work - reading stuff like Fungus The Bogeyman and Father Christmas as a kid, and When The Wind Blows as a teenager - really formed like the platonic ideal for me of what comics should be and do.
A short list of things I think I've unconsciously learnt from his work without thinking about it:
the amount of character you can wring out of framing and posing
the idea of stylised faces in a highly rendered world
using repetitive panels to create meaning
breaking the edges of panels and frames
energetic lettering
filling up the world your characters inhabit with lots of little details you find entertaining
trying to create worlds and people that feel like Real Things That Exist by drawing on the world around you even if what you're making is a fantasy
borrowing faces and places that fit
it's allowed to be very silly
Anyway it's honestly left me quite emotional looking at his work like this bc I didn't know! I didn't know how much he'd influenced me! and there's something about looking at the artwork with all his notes to self around the margins and relettered phrases and "change this bit"s. there's a spread from fungus the bogeyman where the margins have been repeatedly filled with carefully drawn bubble letters counting down how many thousands of words and hundreds of hours of lettering he still had left to do and I'm just like i see someone is losing his actual mind lettering. relatable.
There was also. one of the last spreads in Ethel and Ernest, and it shows him and his dad coming to the hospital to see his mother's corpse after she died. and everything else on the page is done in his usual repeatedly-photocopied-and-redrawn style and worked through, but the body of his mother is almost just a pencil sketch over loose watercolour. and it's like. looking at that you can really really feel how unbearably hard it was to draw that. and next to that they had the closing spread where Briggs is showing his wife his parents' house after they died, and so right next to this drawing that evidently hurt too much to work on too long, you can see how in-depth and thoughtfully he's drawn the house he grew up in, he's done it brick by brick and every bit of detail worked in like he doesn't want to stop working on it and be done with the house. and idk it left me insanely choked up.

#tag talk#kind of morose rn. I wish kind wasn't functionally the same as trusting.#I wish trusting wasn't the same as gullible#I wish gullible weren't the same as stupid#I know so clearly that lies are easy to tell. and yet I know that in order to live freely I need to choose to believe sometimes#and this is one of those times I knew would happen. the inevitable failure that walks hand in hand with trying#and I will try again. because failure is a chance but not a guaranteed outcome. but it's annoying. it's exhausting.#this is about getting stood up twice in one night. in case you thought something actually important happened. nothing big. but annoying#annoying when you put out your genuine self as the best way to attract authenticity in others and instead it's played with#and I guess I should have looked for more ahead of time. demanded reciprocal honesty instead of simply trusting things would work out#trust but verify.#I just. I don't have a cynical bone in my body. I've had to learn all this#and I rephrase stories to make myself sound cleverer than I really am because I can think of a million witty retorts an hour later#but in the moment I'm just naive and trusting and over messaging it's so easy to take advantage of that#and I can't even report them for the undoubtedly stolen pics they baited me with because they block as soon as the game is up#oh well. live and learn and take away the experience and use it for something#I did meet a dude who actually plays age of empires so that's fucking sick.#got stood up twice. but met two actually cool people so it works out maybe. we'll see what happens.#I just- bruh how hard is it to get some good dick in this town?#anyway. I had a nice walk around the park while I waited. found a gravel hill with a hollow on the top and waited there to escape the wind#it was actually a really nice time at the park aside from the social circumstances

November and December sunrises and sunsets illustrations for my daily meteorological fiction project, Reports From Unknown Places About Undescribable Events (Twitter, Instagram).
Keep reading for captions.
November 3rd - We report: we remember around the beginning of the summer, when this time of the day the sky was bright, and the sun was still high. We do not exactly miss it; it will come back around. But we take a moment to notice the passing of time, marking a notch in our memory for later.
November 16th - We report from under this sunset: we are having thoughts about how things get old and scratched and broken over time, but the sky does not have a single scratch. It holds all those colours and those big, heavy clouds, and it gets torn up by the wind, and yet - not a scratch.
November 20th - We report, from the early morning, the wind is so strong that we are having a hard time breathing through the gusts. We are staggering down the street, whipped around as though we were a flimsy kite in the breeze. We squint between strands of wild hair to see the sun rise.
November 24th - We report: early morning, a red sun is rising through the clouds. We made our expert stay quiet for a long time so that we could appreciate the view. The water vapour is scattering most of the sun's light, except for the longest wavelengths in the colour spectrum - red.
November 28th - We report: in the face of sunsets, barometers and thermometers and anemometers, astrolabes, hygrometers and wind vanes really cannot do much. How do you measure the impression that colours and lights leave on the spectator of a particularly compelling sunset?
December 6th - We report: the clouds were so dark, and as far as we were concerned, we had seen this day's last drops of sunlight. At this moment, the wind picked up and took a few clouds along, revealing glimpses of a stolen sunset amidst the darkness. Soon enough, the gap closed again.
December 13th - We report a winter sunset as the colours bled in and out of the clouds; the blue of the sky, first, became lighter with hints of yellow. And the clouds, from grey and white to yellow and orange, and then red and pink too. We watched the sunlight lazily wash over the sky.
December 18th - We report a freezing night, and a chilly morning now. Even the sky looks cold, blankets over blankets that barely let the dawn through, small embers coming through gaps between the clouds. We take care of putting on extra layers of socks and jumpers and jackets on our way out.
December 26th - We report: we are making it through the darker days, we are making it through. We remember though, one bright and scorching summer day when the night would not come, for a moment we yearned for the darkest of winter. It is a fleeting thought in front of this burning red sky.
December 30th - We report that we are reaching the end of December, and we look for light wherever we can, still. Above the clouds, maybe, light survives a little bit longer than everywhere else, rich and glowing and it sticks to our skin. We may start parting with this year already.

I saw a post that was like "stop shaming people who don't change their profile pic because they 'look like a bot,' you're policing how ppl use tumblr <3 <3 <3" and it made me want to bang my head against the wall.
When people tell you to avoid looking like a bot, it's because if you look like a bot, you will be blocked and reported as a bot.
I don't care if you lurk, I don't care if your pic and title are cool or clever or whatever, just change them to something that shows anyone you follow that you're human.
Otherwise, if I see you in my new followers I'll assume you're one of the 30+ bots that followed me today, and I'll block and report you.
tl;dr: For crying out loud, it's not "policing people's experience" to tell them how to avoid having their accounts blocked and suspended.

being one of house’s fellows would be so fun. he’d tell me to do something while calling me lesbian or dyke or some clever slur-adjacent pun related to being nonbinary and i’d answer with “okay, fag :)” because i know what he is. and neither one of us would report the other to HR
