ONE WING DIPPED IN BLOOD.

my dearest @delicateweapon gifted me this absolutely gorgeous portrait of kat, and i am enraptured. every little detail was captured perfectly — the posture, the sallow complexion, the bliss-addled eyes… i couldn’t ask for a better depiction of my girl. thank you again for always loving my spooky girl, nika.

ONE WING DIPPED IN BLOOD.

my dearest @delicateweapon gifted me this absolutely gorgeous portrait of kat, and i am enraptured. every little detail was captured perfectly — the posture, the sallow complexion, the bliss-addled eyes… i couldn’t ask for a better depiction of my girl. thank you again for always loving my spooky girl, nika.

— I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITHOUT MENTIONING HOW MUCH IT HURT.

i commissioned the loveliest @delicateweapon for a portrait of my beloved isabel, and well — you can see for yourself just how hard she knocked it out of the park. nika — thank you for being you and for always managing to bring my characters to life in just the way i see them in my head. you are amazing! if anyone is thinking about commissioning nika, please please do! she is a joy to work with and amazingly talented. look at my awful little lady! look how lovely she looks!

you gotta be able to say "suicide"

you gotta be able to talk about "sex"

they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"

AND THE END COMES TOO SOON, LIKE DREAMING OF ANGELS.

my dearly beloved @delicateweapon has blessed me once more with this dreamy piece of my girls! nika, you understand kat on such a deep level, and it’s such an honor to have your love and support for a character that’s so dear to my heart. thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you do for me and my little brain children. everyone else — if you get the chance to snag a commission from nika, do it.
