I got a bunch of really great suggestions for “Survive April” images after I posted Survive March, so I went through and picked three (it was SUPER HARD) that I liked. I’m saving some more for May, just in case. 

Meanwhile...

April's Fool being what it is, you should go for old school card joker images for survive April.

I couldn’t find a joker I liked but in the spirit of it I found an old Escher print (here at Digital Commonwealth): 

And if you want to go FULL ESCHER:

March is in like a lion, out like a lamb, right? April could be a lamb that's seen some sh*t.

I went looking for a lamb that had seen some shit but I found something...”better”? (at Wellcome here.)

Do not be murdered by sheep. 

subversivecynic reblogged your photo and added:

Carnivorous Flora

Okay so like...I couldn’t find an image of carnivorous plants I liked that was vintagey enough, but this took me down a “poisonous plant” path that eventually led me somehow to this: 

Which is an interesting image on its own, but is in fact even more fascinating when you see the full image at Wellcome: 

It’s an ad by several American health organizations operating in France declaring we must defeat Tuberculosis “as the most harmful of reptiles”. Published, they think, in 1918. 

So...timely.

Anyway, guys, I know this seems comedic and maybe even like I’m laughing at something I shouldn’t be laughing at, but the longer this goes on the more I genuinely want to wish you all full survival of the month of April. These are my lucky amulets I’m sending out into the world for all of you. 

Nanny Ashtoreth, surprisingly, made excellent biscuits:  lemon shortbreads, oatmeal biscuits...  Warlock’s favorites were made with loads of spices, and then she’d dip them in chocolate.

He ate quite a lot of those.

Brother Francis ate quite a lot of them, too.  Surprising, that; you would’ve thought he would be more a lemon shortbread sort of fellow. 

“It’s because of how they feel,” Brother Francis explained when Warlock asked.  “You can tell she had a good time making these, can’tcha?  They keep you warm from the tip of your tongue to your toes!”

“I think that’s the cayenne,” Warlock said doubtfully.

I just donated $10 to AO3 in honor of Anonymous

how dare you use your autonomy as a human to choose where your money goes

I'm grateful that you post here bc right now everyone in the house is or of abt to be furloughed. Your art brings me joy

thank you, i’m glad you like it! at the end of the day, i believe in the fan community - we all gotta eat, but we’ve created so much that’s built entirely on the gift economy: on volunteering, on sharing, on joy. I believe in that, and i want to share my content with everybody, not just those who can pay. 

ooh both are good
