how was chicago??? i can’t believe i was within goldfish radius and didn’t even know

also. it's got Layers

That's not a warehouse, that's lower lower wacker.

real talk i have become a problem recently. the hospital wanted my fingerprint and i said no. the receptionist was like: but its such a convenient way to check in! and i said ok i dont want you to have my biometric data. and she was so baffled. i said, can you not check me in using an id card?

fuck this happened again i was buying some LPs and the clerk was like: can i have your email? and i was like no.

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

Alright, for my last piece for Swords, let's do a process thread! Here's the thumbnail that Epidiah and Nathan and i picked! This is probably about a 1 x 2" sketch.

ok so the first thing i wanted to do once i got this onto my computer was flip the orientation of the creature so the head and the pearl were a surprise in the distance, and the second thing was add some people to be surprised, so here's my glamorous digital sketch of all that:

And as a final digital step, i used the drawing to map out my colour and value scheme in much, much more detail. This piece is now ready to get transferred to my watercolour paper and stretched on a board!

Please stop being nonbinary too. God only created one gender. You must conform to that.

American Vamp by the Baltimore Rock Opera Society! Here I am playing an office worker getting attacked by a vampire:

Me: So tonight you can’t carry your script anymore, but you can call for line.

Me: okay time for your scene

#i don’t think this is what pterry meant by ‘a man’s not dead while his name is still spoken’

I read Jingo for the first time when I was 13.

#shoutout to the one in Soul Music about the leopard that got thrown out of the circus because it couldn't hear the ringmaster#it was several months after my second or third time reading the book that I clocked it was a Deaf Leopard (via @morkaischosen)

...are you FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Twurp’s Peerage made me throw a book (gently) at a wall.

Latinclass ca. 9th grade: the text we had to translate contained the words trans means "on the other side of" or in german it can be translated to "über/ hinüber". Also silvas; silvanis means "the forest" or in german "der Wald".

The Venturi and Selachii feud is what killed me when I got it.

In Carpe Jugulum, Count Magpyr boasts of having helped write the Malleus Maleficarum, along with the Torquus Simiae Maleficarum, the Auriga Clavium Maleficarum, and in fact the entire Arca Instrumentorum.

When I was younger and more abled, I was so fucking on board with the fantasy genre’s subversion of traditional femininity. We weren’t just fainting maidens locked up in towers; we could do anything men could do, be as strong or as physical or as violent. I got into western martial arts and learned to fight with a rapier, fell in love with the longsword.
