“One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own. There are times of great uncertainty in every life. Left alone at such a time, you feel dishevelment and confusion like gravity.
When a friend comes with words of encouragement, a light and lightness visit you and you begin to find the stairs and the door out of the dark.
The sense of encouragement you feel from the friend is not simply her words or gestures; it is rather her whole presence enfolding you and helping you find the concealed door. The encouraging presence manages to understand you and put herself in your shoes. There is no judgment but words of relief and release.”
~ John O'Donohue

Inspo for Lamb Ch 14
I thought I'd share this random little tidbit with you all since it is midnight, and I'm trying to not shop...
I collect pictures for inspiration, and these two are the main inspo for the most recent chapter (14) of Lamb:
I don't know the artist for the Kylo one, and I couldn't pin it down with a search. If you happen to know who it is, I would love it if you'd share!
Edit: The artist has been identified as @kittrose ! Woohoo!
But I do know the artist for this next one:
This second picture is by Wojtek Fus, and can be found on his Insta here. While you're there, look at this one and tell me you don't get good vibes from that one, too. ;)
Also, if you haven't read Lamb yet, what are you waiting for?

Got my (physical) copy of Night Gem: This Boundary Will Not Bind Us by @ericaxenne a couple days ago!! The cover art by @kittrose is even more gorgeous in person. I already read the ebook (which is only $4 on Amazon, BTW - GO GET IT) and fell in loooove.
This book has:
Fun and well-rounded characters - the dialogue in this book is so witty, and each of the characters is well-rounded and unique. The female protagonist is defiant without necessarily being “fiery” - it’s really interesting to see how she resists because it’s a bit different than what you'd typically expect from the setting. My favourite character (so far) is Cyrrus, a funny and precocious little snot with big plans for the world.
Political commentary - but not insufferably so. I usually find stories that come right out as “political” to be a bit of a drag to read, with heavy-handed analogies that make the story feel more like propaganda than a nuanced and thoughtful critique/commentary. This book doesn’t suffer from those problems - it’s insightful and entertaining, will make you laugh and also think about the world and the structures that govern it.
Complex relationships - Aera and Cyrrus’s relationship is one of the most delightfully complicated relationships I’ve read in recent years. I won’t spoil it, but if you’re looking for a great portrayal of queer friendship/queerplatonic relationships, this is definitely one of my favourites.
A world with a rich magical landscape and detailed lore - you’d think that a world this rich and detailed would have the problem of banging you over the head with paragraphs and paragraphs and paragraphs of exposition right from the beginning that are a slog to read through and impossible to remember, but that isn’t the case at all. The author, Erica Xenne, slowly introduces you to the world and the way it runs and works, constantly igniting your curiosity and making you want to learn more right alongside the protagonist, Aera. By the time you do get to the more infodump-y sections, you’re already well-acquainted with the different characters and invested in the world... and as someone who’s notoriously bad at remembering lore, I found the book super forgiving with the details.
In other words... pick this book up!! Please!!!!!!!!!!! I need people to gush with or I’ll explode!!!!!!!!!!
