@anguilliforme détente? 😅💕

booping someone numerous times when they only booped you once feels like this

[theartofheiding]

whoever just booped me like forty times. i’m coming for you

second question, how do you think the old guard would be different today if Lykon was still around? 🥺

honestly i think that if lykon was there andy would have stayed afloat better after losing quynh (if they had ended up losing her in that timeline) because they would have shared that grief, and that they would be an inseparable duo. Also it would make andy losing her mortality a lot more scary and urgent for her!

hello! ask and you shall receive (some asks lol) 💕 for the old guard family, do you have a time period or location you'd really like them to visit? (in a movie or just in fandomland)

ohhh man there are so many. but being me i would LOVE more time period accurate wild west fics. the clothes the vibes i just find it so so visually compelling, i love westerns and i wanna see the blorbos there so bad. knowing they did canonically live through that is!!!! i have this idea of them all in undercover roles in a postman wagon (while also plotting to rob it somehow). Joe is a doctor from the big city who is there for his health and nicky is a mysterious silent hired gun, booker is the driver and andy is the bandit who"robs" the carriage

hello!! i saw an Old Guard post on reddit (i know!) so new ask game, what would an immortal from your home tow be like? or another town you like? 👉👈

oh this is SUCH a fascinating question, thank you so much! Helsinki is such a young city, that I think the most interesting version of an immortal from here would be a modern immortal born somewhere around this time. I also think they would be from an immigrant background and live in east-Helsinki. I would LOVE to read that so much. Helsinki is such a multicultural city these days so i think it would be important to represent that, and i think also that having them be from east helsinki would be a great political statement.

As for a more historical version Finnish immortal, I would like to think they would most likely be a serf and a woman from a small town somewhere (i wanna say east-finland maybe..). Immortals are born during great periods of strife usually, so I think they would have been born during the Great Wrath, which was a several year period in the early 1700s when Russian Cossacks terrorized Finland and Finnish towns relentlessly. Hundreds of thousands were enslaved and even more were killed, and this was mostly the Finnish speaking common people whose towns got demolished and not Swedish speaking gentry (who escaped of course), so i think if i had to set an immortal to do do some good and help people, it would be this era.

oh hey what's this language thing you mentioned in your fun facts? :333

Oh hello you <3

We have been building a language from scratch to use in our larp game. It is a passion project spanning many many pages of a google doc with fleshed out grammar, a (almost constructed) pocketbook dictionary, and so many puns

Our Heavenly Space Mom

Recently, I was contacted by some lovely people working on a press anthology on Carrie Fisher which focuses on her role as Princess Leia as well as her writing, her mental health advocacy, and the role of her Leia image in current feminist politics.

They commissioned this lovely piece, inspired by my original portrait Blessed Rebel Queen, to be the cover art for the upcoming anthology Our Blessed Rebel Queen: Carrie Fisher and Princess Leia (Wayne State University Press). Coming out in October 2021.

It was truly an honour to do this piece, to return to the origins of Blessed Rebel Queen and be reminded why I created that piece in the first place. And today, being Carrie’s birthday, seems the right time to share this piece with all of you

Prints are available on my shopify store: lindsayvanek.myshopify.com

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
