nasa: ok so we found 7 new earth sized planets, 3 of which are habitable

I am so bored of heroines who sneer at ‘womanly’ things and complain of the uselessness of embroidery. Your average medieval kingdom wouldn’t last a week without people doing women’s work.

one of my favorite passages from Protector of the Small (I think?) is when Kel is chatting with a bunch of older nobles and she mentions that her aunt once dumped a bucket of oil on would-be attackers and lit them on fire and one of the noble women nods and very seriously says something like “as any delicately reared noblewoman would do.” LIKE YES GIVE ME ALL THIS. 

And imagine if she were to occasionally lament how bad she feels she is at it compared to, say, her squire? -“I can put my sword through a dragon’s one weak point, BUT I CAN’T PUT A NEEDLE THROUGH THE RIGHT SWATCH?!” -“But my lady, people will remember you slew the dragon for generations!” -“Pff … People can’t even remember what they had for breakfast. They’ll only talk about it because you’re making a gorgeous rendition of it that will hang on the castle walls until they molder into ruins. Whereas I can’t even make a FUCKING HORSE!”

CANON.

Some cotton birds and their evolutions from my crossbreed zines! Swablu line is one of my top favorites, I love its design to bits. The zines are available to purchase at my shop: http://onemegawatt.tictail.com/
