Launching my first art blogs with a small comic based on the amazing words of Ursula K. Le Guin!

“He needed to know what Nathaniel was saying in this historic moment.”

Meanwhile Neil

It’s strange to see Andrew in extreme-minor-character mode after three books of Neil obsessing over his every move.

kurt vonnegut, being good at things is not the point of doing them.

Every time I remember that Pyrrha has never seen Palamedes’s face I suddenly want to jump into a trash compactor.

Seeing neil from an outside pov actually 100% makes it clear why andrew was as intrigued as he was. Because we as readers could see how stressed neil was 24/7 but seeing him from jean’s perspective really helps to see how absolutely off the rails he seems if you don’t have the insider understanding of his character

#i am midway through this book and i love a lot about it #but particularly any scene with neil #because i have always wanted to know how other characters perceive neil #jean’s view of him has been everything I hoped for and more #neil josten #andrew minyard #jean moreau #the sunshine court #tsc spoilers

so alright yeah gansey’s reaction to adam sacrificing himself to cabeswater is to ask him “why? was i that awful?”

Gansey having the most mundane conversation about the ecological effects and economics of local produce while having an internal meltdown over Ronan wrecking the pig immediately after receiving a dick pick from Ronan has to be the best scene in the dream thieves.

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

it goes against so much of what i stand for to share "palestinians are humans, they have hobbies, they have pets, they laugh and cry" kind of posts because i've spent so much of my life and career completely rejecting the notion that we should humanize ourselves, that we should ever be defensive, that we should entertain this racism at all

but it breaks my heart when i have to share them from people in gaza, who are using their five minutes of internet connection, their 25% of battery charge collected from a macguyvered car battery, emotionally exhausted, thirsty and hungry, sleeping in schools that have turned into refugee shelters and still making the time to say "please, i am human too, i am still alive, please fight for me" in english to appeal to the only people who have the power to help

i shared a tweet from a jjk artist in gaza i follow about a bts photocard being found in the middle of the rubble. even the love of anime and kpop and sports is no longer just a hobby, but an appeal to humanity. what was once a source of joy is now proof of life.

the worst part is that you won't find this content in arabic. palestinians don't post like this in arabic. but when they translate themselves, they recognize that they must humanize themselves first. it's an unspoken understanding of dehumanization, one that has dictated a whole region's understanding of the value of human life. in arabic they speak with dignity, with anger, with sorrow. in english, they appeal for their existence.

i share these posts not just because we have to reach everyone we can, because im being asked to and i will not refuse. but i also share them because they're evidence of how deep the racism has run. at what dehumanization leads to. of war crime after war crime. this too i will not forget.

[crooked-dregs]

not to be some kind of words cop but i fucking hate it when people use redundant phrases. "free gift" "unexpected surprise" "lesbian necromancer" etc. it's like yall don't know brevity's the soul of wit.
