A nun of Winter's sisterhood.

My belief is that anyone can be a princess. 

And while I can’t turn everyone into a princess myself - this holiday season, one lucky human is going to have a fairytale ending to their year - once upon a December! The winner will receive the iconic faberge-inspired music box and necklace from the animated film Anastasia!

Did I mention the winner gets Anya’s gorgeous kokoshnik style tiara as well? 

Well guess what - they do!

Wear the Power of Women (artistic theme) on your wrist with this bracelet that tells the story of Judith (the Israelite heroine) beheading Holofernes (an Assyrian general) who had been sent to take vengeance on the lands which refused to support and worship Nebuchadnezzar.

Judith Slaying Holofernes Charm Bracelet

Once routinely a part of the Hanukkah narrative , Judith’s story focuses on the Jewish people surviving those who would destroy them. Judith’s story is about a woman protecting her people even when it put her in peril.

Launched as of Monday 12 November, looking to raise $15,000, and let’s see…about two hours in, and already 10% of the way there.

Elsewhere University - Groundskeeping’s Addendum

A sequel to this!

[Elsewhere University]   [my other comics]   [my art]   [my ko-fi]

When I posted the first Elsewhere University comic, I had no idea what it was going to turn into over the following months. The community that’s grown out of it - the stories and art and obscure bits of folklore and science, the fortunetelling asks and vague anon prophecies, all of it building on itself and branching into places that still manage to take me by surprise - has created a weirder and more wonderful world than anything I could have imagined. This comic is meant as a celebration of everything that’s grown out of the stories set in Elsewhere, and an expression of gratitude. I wasn’t even close to being able to include everything; the Library alone would need a dozen pages. For those whose works I did include, I dearly hope I did them justice. Words can’t express what this world and community have grown to mean to me, but I hope this comes close. Thank you so much, all of you. Keep making amazing things.

All works referenced below the cut, if you want to learn more about them!

Eyes closed. “See nothing, you’re told.” Eyes open. “Except - you do.”

“For love.” A human and inhuman figure, embracing. “Or desperation.” A human figure, holding a glowing staff, facing a large snake-bodied multi-eyed creature. “Out of curiosity.” A human taking a book titled ‘folklore’ off a shelf. “Or simply luck, good or bad.” Flower-shaped light floating between somebody’s hands, an open box below.

“You learn what you can. So now –” “Remember,” a human figure says, “groundskeeping” written on their badge.

“There are kinder ways to see than silver nitrate.” A woman wearing glasses holds out another pair. “(Although they still come at a cost.)”

Written on the silhouette of a crow: “Do not wrong the crows.” A crow perched on a human figure’s back. “They protect those they love.” A crow in flight. “But they do not love many.”

White, indistinct shape of a horse standing in water. “Do not approach the horse by the river.” Crossroads. “Or step into the crossroads before the library.”

“Something terrible sleeps below the ruins of the old English building.” Far underground, a dragon. Through the fog, something looks vaguely like a ship, or maybe a building. “The mist brings the sounds of an ocean that, if you are lucky, you will never see.” “Sometimes the pool has no bottom.” The water continues down, and down, and down.

“There are things no professor will teach you. But that does not mean you cannot learn them.” A human figure sits at a computer within a circle of salt, while outside the circle, an inhuman figure traces patterns of light. “But students of the forbidden major have more to fear than most.” Three people. “(Are more feared than most.)” The same three people, but one now has oddly-coloured eyes, one is wearing a blindfold, and one is only a shadow.

“Many professors have long pasts.” Two look human, and more or less normal. One is incredibly wrinkled, and has hair that doesn’t seem quite right. One isn’t even vaguely human, yet still wears a shirt and tie. Human figures, wearing the uniforms of cooks, custodians, or other workers. One has a scar across his face. One holds a sword. “Many non-academic staff have quests.”

“Most will help you if you can.”

“Summer is a distant dream.” A branch in full foliage; then a branch bare except for icicles. “Winter is broken to pieces - exams, breaks, short terms.”

Two different collections of inhuman figures. “Here the year turns on autumn and spring.”

“But there are things greater than the petty courts.” Covered by their hand, a different mouth, some human and some inhuman, says each syllable: “true” “roy” “al” “ty”.

“Belief makes things true, here. And theatre majors believe in more than most.” An empty stage, “break a leg”, whistling, “the Scottish Play”. A majestic inhuman figure on stage, spotlights shining on them, while the audience kneels. “But above all, they believe in The Play.”

“The forest “goes on “for ever "and always.” It gets darker, and the trees get larger.

“With the Sight, some faces will grow familiar.” Various inhuman figures, all strange and different, some beautiful, some terrifying. “Listen to the stories: familiarity is not safety.”

“In desperate straits, take refuge in the library, and follow any advice given to you there.” Bookshelves, and a human-seeming figure behind the desk at a computer.

“Above all, know that you can trust the seal.” Inside a Celtic knot, text reads “beware the lights”. “(The university tries to protect its own.)”

“Deal” comes from all three mouths of an inhuman figure. “You can trust the word of the Fair Folk, once given.” Another signs “pledge”.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue
