Calvin's parents decide to take a Hawai'ian vacation. They're not sure how much of it their son will tolerate but they would like to do at least a few things that involve sandy beaches and scenic cycling routes. They are therefore pleased when Calvin seems to make friends with a local girl about his own age and the two of them run off to play

Now, from Calvin's point of view what has happened is that he spotted actual aliens, and starts trying to bring this to the attention if the adults. But the tourists are like, "that's nice, go shoot 'em with your water gun, have a good time," and the locals are like, "yeah, they're an older couple who decided to retire here. Happens all the time." Eventually, it becomes clear that Spaceman Spiff is going to have to handle it himself.

From Lilo's point of view, Jumba and Pleakley are her gay uncles, do you mind? Calvin does mind, and so the two of them spend the rest of the afternoon terrorizing Kaua'i in the effort to destroy one another while the aliens alternate between bailing them out of trouble and attempting to escape.

Hobbes and Stitch, meanwhile, are calmly playing checkers and drinking non-alcoholic margaritas.

there is an old jewish joke/saying from the pale of settlement that i once read as an epigraph to a history book, whose title i forget: if someone says they're right more than half the time, we say he is an educated man; if he's right two thirds of the time, then we praise the lord, he is wise, he is knowledgeable, he is a prophet; if he says he's right any more than that, he is a charlatan, a crook, a cheat, and a swindler

Whenever I am thinking very hard about The Locked Tomb, I find it important to remind myself Tamsyn Muir did compare the series to the KFC Double Down.

Halsin got frisky with a chimera????? When?

Alluded to in a party banter with Lae'zel:

Lae'zel: You've quite the appetite, Halsin. I'd wager you've bedded more of your foes than you've felled.

Halsin: Hmm. A challenging sum. The chimera has three heads, but does it still count as one?

Lae'zel: Must have been a challenging kill.

Halsin: Kill? ... yes.

Imagine getting slut shamed by Lae'zel. I'd never recover 😭

Just rolling around in my brain how isolated and affection starved all these (romanceable) companions are, pre-tadpole

Karlach spent a decade in Avernus fighting and dodging devils

Shadowheart was ostracized by her cloister for damn near her whole life

Gale was isolated from most mortals and spent a year in near-total isolation in his tower

Wyll had been traveling basically solo as the Blade of Frontiers since he was kicked out of the Gate a teen

Astarion spent two centuries getting tortured and isolated by Cazador

Lae’zel might have had a better social life, but comes from a culture that devalues physical and emotional tenderness/closeness

Halsin spent the last century obsessing over the shadow curse

No wonder all these people are out here going feral for the first person (Tav) that shows them kindness/softness/physical touch/protection

every time i see trad gender roles people being weird about fibercraft i wanna tell them

-medieval and early modern knitting guilds were full of men learning and perfecting fancy knitting techniques to impress rich clients

-in cold, wet climates like the scottish highlands knitting was done by the whole family, in fact it was the perfect activity to do while a man was out on a fishing boat or in the pasture with his sheep and cattle

-men who were away from women for a long time had to know how to knit and sew at least well enough to mend their own clothes. soldiers knitted. sailors knitted. cowboys and frontiersmen knitted. vikings probably knitted (actually they would have been doing a kind of proto knitting called nalbinding, but that's beside the point). all those guys the far right love to treat as ultra masculine heroes were sitting around their barracks and campfires at night darning their socks and knitting themselves little hats

OBSESSED with teacher gale still using his orb as a threat to his students to have them pay attention despite the fact he doesn't even have it anymore. If you guys dont pay attention to my lecture i am going to kill myself.

just over a year ago, @saturdaysky commissioned me with an absolutely outstanding shadowgast prompt; namely, 'Caleb helping Essek put on a fancy outfit'. i'm sure you can imagine how ecstatic i was about it (just look at that line, every single word in it is designed to make me go heart eyes), and i'm finally finished and excited to post this bad boy. i hope you guys enjoy this picture too and my very optimistic wish is that it inspires all sorts of lovely stories in your minds 😏

sky gave me a beautiful prompt and a specific atmosphere/mood to depict, but was very patient and generous about letting me go wild on the actual posing, colors and details, so naturally i did 😂 my idea of using a mirror in the composition was admittedly rather ambitious, and lead me to reading up quite a bit on optics, the physics of reflections and reflections in art specifically (as well as the history of zippers and other closures!), so not only was this commission a delight from the point of view of its topic, but i also learned a fair amount of new stuff while working on it. honestly speaking, i like to think that the bookworm wizards would approve of my little adventure.

thank you for commissioning me! ��
