So it's been a few years! I've been on twitter all that time and quite a lot's happened. I lost my mum, graduated uni and started working as a freelance artist, came out as a non binary lesbian, got really into warcraft and been working on some original projects too!
As for going forward, I've been wondering if it's worth nuking this blog and starting fresh... but maybe I should start an art only blog and leave this as a personal. Whatever I decide, I'll use this as my main hub for people on twitter to find me for now!
I think it's time I came crawling back. Hello again ā¤ļø
Abolish unpaid internships, bring back apprenticeships.
"You don't have to pay me, but I'm going to live with you from now on."
The minimum apprentice wage in the UK is just short of Ā£4 an hour. Thatās nearly half the minimum wage. This has to cover accommodation, living and travel expenses since you canāt apply for student loans because youāre technically in employment. This includes London.
Iām all for bringing it back to that.
āUpdate: The student who wrote the letter has been found and weāre in the process of finding a way to reward her for her actions. Very grateful for what she didā
I love this mental image of this quietly horrified and righteous 6th grader just being like maāam you canāt do that

Due to personal reasons I will be ignoring canon completely and creating my own au
okay but the screenwriter for Thor: Ragnarok is obviously intimately aware of what itās like to have siblings because likeā¦the snake scene? Bickering at every opportunity? Throwing things at each other for no real reason? āYou know this guy?ā āI have no idea who this person isā? Smirking when your sibling does something cool because ānothing but respect for MY siblingā and then turning around and punching each other in the face right afterward? Stabbing each other for fun and then goingĀ āoh come on you big baby, that didnāt even hurtā? The fuckingĀ āGet Helpā scene? Like bruhā¦that is some Truth in Hollywood right there
In honor of this post reaching 10K notes, I have more examples of Siblinghood Done Right in Ragnarok:
*parent leaves the area*Ā āTHIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!ā
āYouāre justā¦the worst.ā
*internally* bitch I am the only one that gets to kill my sibling back off!
That little conciliatory pat on the back Loki gives to Thor after Thor saysĀ āJane and I dumped each otherā
āI swear I left it right hereā
*casually talking to each other about something mundane with the underlying threat of violence everpresent in both of your voices*
casual jibes and banter about the way each other dresses (āWhy would I do that? Iām not a witch.āĀ āThen why do you dress like one?ā)
āYES! THATāS WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE!ā
but also the concealed worry about your sibling getting actually hurt, even though you know theyāll probably be fine
Lokiās extremely obvious eyerolling when those girls approach Thor in public and ask for a selfie
*sibling walks in while youāre trying to cause trouble and enjoy yourself* āoh shitā
this bit
The short involves Goofy doing domestic chores for his wife, which was an odd concept in the 1950ā²s. So based on the Milkman not knowing who he was kissing in this bit, it implies that Goofyās wife was fucking the Milkman.
Goofyās face. His fucking face. IāM DYING.
YOU BEEN SCREWIN THE MILKMAN

please stop reblogging sylvia plath poetryĀ
For ppl asking why sheās an anti black, anti Semite. She has used the n word and compared her depression to the holocaust
Even not counting her poetry her private journals are full of disgusting, overblown antisemitism. She didnāt just use Jewish people for her metaphors, she outright hated them irl and yet decided to use their suffering for her own gain
hereās a source with some quotes
okay, Iām Jewish and I appreciate this sentiment. and if someone wants to cut out Sylvia Plath, go for it, I get it.
But. by this logic weād also need to stop reblogging TS Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Shakespeare quotes. Virginia Woolf wrote anti-semetic things in her private journals, too. If you only want to read classic poets who liked Jews and black people, thatās fine, but like. good luck? Sylvia Plath isnāt an exception.
idk. Tumblrās attitude of āconsume nothing problematicā just doesnāt work if youāre part of a group that most culture-creators over the last few centuries have hated by default. For people actually in those groups, itās not like the only two choices are 1) worship authors who hate you or 2) completely cut the majority of literature out of your life. You learn to read critically and acknowledge flaws where you find them.
anyway, as a Jewish woman, I would much rather see a version of this post that saidĀ āplease read Sylvia Plath poetry critically because sheās anti black and antisemeticā than justĀ āstop reblogging Sylvia Plath poetry.ā
IMO, reblog Sylvia Plath all you want, just not unthinkingly.
Iām reblogging this now because Iām seeing anti-Virginia Woolf discourse lately due to the antisemitism in her journals and like⦠as a Jewish person who loves Virginia Woolfās writing and an English teacher who knows that pretty much every writer of the classics is Problematic justā¦chill pls
The point isnāt to never consume media that isnāt ideologically pure. Thatās never the point. Were that the goal, we would NEVER be able to consume any media. Nothing is ever ideologically pure, especially as time goes on and our social consciousness expands.
We should be telling people instead, āBe critical as you read this personās work. They held bigoted views. Understand how that is reflected in their work, and be mindful of it. Be critical, be thoughtfulā
Compelling others to not engage with something at ALL on ideological grounds is in the same vein as burning books. We should be compelling others to be critical and mindful, not narrow and willfully ignorant.
A series of events:
1. I put in an Annual Leave request form almost 3 weeks ago and my boss has not approved it yet
2. I went into my office today and replaced every single writing utensil with crayons in preparation for April Fools Day on Monday
3. Whilst searching for pens to remove, I found my unsigned Annual Leave form in my bossās drawer
4. I placed my unsigned Annual Leave form in a photo frame and put in on his desk
5. The frame I used was from a photo of his kids that I deemed less important than my Leave form
6. My boss sometimes goes into the office on Saturdays to work

iām just⦠so tired of reading posts complaining about problems that only exist because people wonāt read romance novels⦠it is a huge genre there are books about werewolf dukes, there are books about black revolutionary war soldiers, there are books about south asian doms who care about enthusiastic consent, there are books about shape-shifting cowboys who turn into bears, there are books about lady scientists learning how to trust that their boundaries will be respected, there are books about alien barbarian warriors, there are books about genies, there are books about women of color in victorian london, there are books about polyamorous earls, there are fake marriages and marriages of convenience and basically every fanfic trope that people lose it for exists as a book with original characters but some of the same people who complain about how books no longer satisfy them turn a blind eye to a whole genre because it never occurs to them to read a ~bodice-ripper~ when they could read romantic fanfic of a more respectable genre instead
look, if you:
donāt wanna read about two people falling in love and fuckinā
just wanna read more about some specific characters
good news! this post is not about you. here are some posts i have seen with great regularity on this site:
no one who writes original fiction is capable of writing good sex
no one who writes original fiction understands tropes
original fiction doesnāt understand kinks
too many books are about high-stakes things and not enough books focus on character development and interaction
all of which is blatantly and on the face of it absurd to anyone who reads a lot of romance and which is what this post is about. it downplays and devalues the good work being done, especially by marginalized authors, in the romance space. authors should get paid! authors should get rewarded for originality! if you read a shitty romance novel once, i donāt care! so have i! iāve read a lot of shitty books in a lot of perfectly good genres. if you can spend three hours sifting through pairing tags on ao3 to find the one fic that doesnāt suck, you can look through ebook previews to find something that looks good.
ābooks are expensiveā is almost a compelling argument, except that romances and mysteries are two genres where ebooks go on sale for $1-2 with startling regularity. my bookbub emails regularly get ebook boxed sets with tons of different books by different authors going on sale for a buck, which is a great way to find new authors. most authors have newsletters where they let you know about sales and send out freebies. and if your library has overdrive, you can request books. you donāt have to just⦠see they donāt have it and give up.
anyway, hereās books:
will i ever stop recommending courtney milanās brothers sinister series? literally never. if you prefer contemporary and donāt mind first person thereās also the cyclone series. if your local library does not have at least one courtney milan book i will be shocked. donāt worry about it if theyāre not the first in a series. you can read it out of order. thatās how romance novels work. lots of her books also go on sale for the low price of free on the regular, especially the novellas.
alisha raiās forbidden hearts series also rules.itās got starcrossed lovers, itās got feuding families, itās got hatefucking, what more could you want
alyssa cole has never written anything bad in her entire life, iām pretty sure. you want historicals? you want contemporary? contemporary but thereās still sexy dukes? post-apocalyptic? pick your poison, enjoy.
i just read this one recently and now i need to read all the other cat sebastian books iāve acquired over the years because whenever a book is a dollar and looks like this i buy it immediately (itās literally a dollar right now). this graphic was very helpful and i wish more authors had ones like it. itās 2019, bring back web banners for link pages.
i discovered six de los reyes when courtney milan recced beginnerās guide: love and other chemical reactions and iām really interested to read more of her books. also it made me realize iād never read a book that took place in the philippines before? no one fucks in this but itās really cute and sweet and involves a hyper-logical lady scientist, an artist/barista/bad boy, a coffee shop, and Making Out For Entirely Scientific Reasons.
bound with honor is the only book iāve read from the regency reimagined series. the reimagining seems to be that itās very bisexual and polyamorous and everyone fucks a lot and also thereās bondage. i am cool with this. i actually bought the whole series at some point?? i⦠should read these.
i havenāt gotten around to reading tess boweryās treading the boards series (i have bought so many books) (i was not kidding about the one dollar sales) but iāve got high hopes because look at them
kj charles is⦠prolific. and another author whose books i havenāt gotten around to despite owning a lot of them. i actually just bought that one on the right, just now, because i saw that it was a dollar when taking this screenshot.

Friendly reminder that Vincent van Gogh willingly checked himself into an asylum so that he could get better, resulting in him creating some of the most iconic paintings of his entire career, done in the asylum, when he was being treated 24/7, because he finally didnāt have to struggle with his demons and could instead focus on his muse, WHICH WERE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!
Remember this little insignificant painting?
How about this one?
Check this one out:
All of these and more were painted in the asylum when he was receiving treatment for his mental illnesses and I know I just said that but I said it again and Iām saying it a third time until you dramatic abled assholes understand!
VINCENT VAN GOGH
- KNEW THAT HE WAS MENTALLY ILL
- WANTED TO CHANGE THAT
- WENT TO AN ASYLUM
- GOT THE HELP HE NEEDED
- PAINTED SOME ICONIC MASTERPIECES AS A RESULT!
SO DONāT YOU DARE COME OUT HERE WITH THIS,Ā āI WISH I WAS DEPRESSED SO I COULD BE AS CREATIVE AS VAN GOGHā BULLSHIT BECAUSE EVEN HE KNEW THAT HIS DEMONS WERE HARMING HIS WORK, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HIS HEALTH, AND HE DID EVERYTHING WITHIN HIS POWER TO FIGHT THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY OF HIS LIFE, UNTIL THEY ENDED UP WINNING!Ā
This is also incrediblyĀ important for any creative persons dealing with mental illness, and their parents.
Receiving mental help improvesĀ your craft, not hurt it. Before getting put on medication for the first time to treat my mental illnesses, my mom expressed to me how sheās worried about my getting treatment because of my art. Regardless, your mental health should be more important anyway, but, honestly, itās a lot harder to produce good art when you struggle getting out of bed, let alone creating masterpieces. When youāre in more health, improving your craft comes much easier!
Personally I think the most beautifull painting of him was this one:
He made it when he heard about the birth of his nephew who was named after him. Still in the asylum but really happy for his brother! āHow glad I was when the news came⦠I should have greatly preferred him to call the boy after Father, of whom I have been thinking so much these days, instead of after me; but seeing it has now been done, I started right away to make a picture for him, to hang in their bedroom, big branches of white almond blossom against a blue sky.ā
Oh I have sucb rants about how āgoodā art comes while suffering.
No.
look at me.
The idea of the āsuffering artistā comes from bunch of alcholic, drug abusing, womanizers trying to justify their bad life choices as some sort of artistic angst.
IT IS 100% BULLSHIT
Take your meds, get your therapy, be happy, and live life
The art will be there.
Kill the myth that artists must suffer.
I created great poetry and song from pain and anguish due to mental illness. But once I started getting mentally healthy, my poetry got even better. Donāt be afraid to treat your mental and emotional anguish just because you fear losing creative talent. Your talents donāt disappear when you get help, they only become stronger and you become more efficient at performing your art.
