It’s okay to mess up. Everyone messed up. All the time. Messing up doesn’t make you a failure, even if you mess up ten or a hundred times over. Even if it’s the same mess up over and over again. The hardest challenges are the ones that take the most time and effort to overcome. You’ll overcome them. And it will be so sweet.

Hiii I love your art, originally followed cause of Hannibal but I keep seeing you post about these “A1 A2” people who I understand are maybe your OCs but also connected to the novel “Look Homeward Angel”? I’m so confused. I have tried to go through your tags and understand but I can’t figure it outttt I want to be part of whatever this confusing fandom is I just need help 🙏

hallooo, the title of the comic is a nod at the thomas wolfe novel but thats pretty much where the connections end ahahha the angels from look homeward are completely unrelated to look homeward, angel ahhahahahaha

I wonder if a lot of tumblrs are having a deep think about the effects of power on the human animal, and what's left when you eliminate all the Bad People from your diet lately

fortunately for me I've grown quite accustomed to famous people whose work I liked revealing their horrible sides, intentionally or otherwise

Rosemary's Baby, Cyndi Lauper being mean backstage one time, every rock front man in the history of, Nina Hagen - ow that one hurt! I guess I wasn't even 20 yet by the time I'd grown worldly about celebrity. By the time 2000 rolled around I'd long sworn off ambitions of performance outside the truly creative, studio-free version.

In any case what I'm trying to get down is that these people were never personal friends of their audience, to begin with. That's not how it works.

You have to work out for yourself what you can tolerate, artwise, in your life. We're blessed not to know what kind of asshole Aeschylus might have been. Many of you won't ever know what a blow it was to North America when Bill Cosby turned out to be so horrible. The long term effects of his fall from grace just can't be overstated by this point.

It's always always unwise to make a hero or a saint of anyone. Don't make the mistake of thinking there's a kind of person who was never bad, who can't disappoint you.

It's a rare person for whom wealth and power, in any amount, isn't deeply "corrupting" with regard to how others are treated, sexuality, expressions of control, satisfaction of desire. There's a great deal about humanity that is hard to face, disappointing to learn. That's one of the loudest lessons: those we elevate are changed forever by the attention. It might do well to have some better cultural rules and customs in place than complaint & argument. It might be really smart to organize our real life communities around that understanding.

It might give us a better quality of life to decentralize celebrity.

I've said this before years ago but Ozai and Iroh's parenting styles are far more similar than anyone acknowledges.

Ladies and gentlemen, in recent days, have you been well? I am Di Feisheng. Once, I only wished to comprehend the greatest lost knowledge, and fight another battle with my old foe Li Xiangyi to my heart’s content. But, alongside old friends, and new friends, as we solved cases in all four directions, as well as completed my revenge, it seems that some things are no longer the same. The present me is still willing to intensively study martial arts and dedicate myself to progressing my kung fu. But I will also admire the breaking waves, the rising sun, and the mountains and rivers; I will also enjoy the fireworks of the day-to-day. The wish of my heart is, namely, freedom, stretching as far as the skies and as vast as the seas. I hope you and I can live carefree and traverse the lands unhindered. If it is fated, we will see each other again. - Di Feisheng

Happy RT Appreciation Week--

I just wanted to drop in and say that what you create for the fandom, in gifsets and writing and bits of lore, are all so thoughtfully done. The former are truly gorgeous to look at, and the latter always make me stop and think (and in some cases want to go delving deeper into the wider WH40K universe). Thank you for all you do!

Thank you! Maybe its strange to say, but 'thoughtful' is such a compliment to me. I do try put a lot of thought into what I do (sometimes too much, I think) so hearing that it shows makes my day.

hiiiiii i know requests are closed, but would you maybe want to share your current marauders brainrot with us? anything that’s taking up your mind mother?

pandora has been the one ruling my mind lately<33 peculiar pandora, the twin who has that creepy horror-movie telepathic dynamic with her brother, the girl with the round staring-through-your-soul doll eyes, the artist who collects bones and feathers, the witch who speaks to any and all creatures except people, the lamb who is more biblical than cuddly yet somehow has a soft soul

my lovely dora<33 and her usually strong-willed turning gaping, stuttering and flushing redhead girlfriend

That - could have gone worse?

An underrated benefit of writing original fiction is that you can take something you enjoy in fanon and make it something that really exists in your canon.

we talk a lot about how the shtriga case was bad parenting and horrible just being-a-person-ing from john back when the boys were KIDS but this time im talking about how . it's also horrible parenting when the kids are adults. like you held the guilt of that night over your son's head in his childhood, you looked at him different, you know? and that was worse. and THEN he's a grown twenty-something and he hasn't seen you in half a year because you're back on your old obsessive quest and you keep him busy by sending him cases to work. you send him this one because you know your son, and you know that when he realizes what he's hunting here, the same child-devouring creature he once left his little brother vulnerable to (although you never told him what he needed to look out for, and never gave him a reason behind the orders, and never explained), and that he will hound himself over it and insist upon finishing it and you allow him to do the job and you allow him to continue to take responsibility for your decisions seventeen years ago, when you left an anxious eight-year-old alone with a preschooler for three solid days to be bait for a thing that would kill them. he finishes this case thinking he's finally righted the wrong from back then, finally made up for his failure (as a CHILD) to protect his brother, to follow the orders, to obey and behave, and he'll never be corrected about this. he will insist to the boy in this episode that it's not that kid's fault, he will insist that it is not really his father's fault, no, dad gave me an order and i didn't listen. don't. don't. but nobody will ever tell him this one wasn't his fault

Classes just have come to an end and with it, summer vacations are here! This means that my activity should be more present for the coming months. But to be frank, since some of the revelations of the coming 5.7 (which is already next week, I can't wait), I've been on the waiting game to see HYV's direction with Dain. My muse remains high for him, my problem is that I'm a little burned and there have been a lot of mysteries and contradicting things surrounding him that contribute to that and I hope many of them remain clear once his AQ drops. If you're inclined, I've been chilling on Cartethyia's blog at @fleuredelys! I followed just a few peeps because I'm not sure how many of you are into WuWa or if you'd still be interested in interacting with a character from a different fandom, but if you are feel free to nudge me ♥︎
