I actually don’t mind that “dead dove” has become conversational shorthand for “fics with heavy themes where you REALLY need to pay attention to the warnings”. such is the nature of language. what i do mind is when people tag their actual fics with dead dove and then give no indication of what they’re actually warning about. that is useless. that helps no one. that is completely against the spirit of the meme. i will not be reading that

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

#are you alright? #I have like. 3 pairs of work jeans. three different slacks for meetings. and another three that I actually LIKE wearing #that’s not counting the three skirts… #so like… 12 items in my ‘bottoms’ drawer #how do you function with only six??? #wait… are we counting pajamas? those are different. that’s sleepwear not pants.

Demographic of people in the Witcher fandom iirc convinced there's such a thing as 'lute oil' which best as I can tell is incorrect

Guess who got to work on another bang~! Over at @swbigbang

I got to illustrate for the Bonds of Beskar Sequel: Dagger’s Dominion by @popjeckdoom

Getting a chance to do a more traditional portrait scene for the third piece was just so much fun, I’ve missed getting to stretch my skills like that. I don’t bring it out very often, but it was SUCH a hilariously cute scene. Read it, you’ll love it. I promise.

Our beta Beth-the-Human recommended doing a metallic wrap instead of just cloth, and an Arabic technique called tulle-bi-telli, so Wolffe got this beautiful but complex Beskar woven fabric that kicked my ass to illustrate, yet was so worth it.

Vibes: a road trip across the desert; knowing when you'll have to say goodbye, but wanting this to last for as long as you can smile

Inspired by: the desert driving we didn't see in Trigun Stampede, or the memorable moments over rations and the kindling of a campfire

Laios saying he's stronger and better organized than Shuro because he eats 3 meals every day and sleeps properly is probably one of the most encouraging things a fictional character has ever said to me

Random worldbuilding: A culture where everyone's social status is expressed through how their hair is braided.

Children all have the same kind of a simple, unisex "child's braid" which is meant for their parents to be easy to do - traditionally boys were only taught how to do a "wife's braid" while women braid both their husbands and their children, but a modern man is naturally an attentive father and contributes to both cleaning and feeding, and clothing and braiding his children.

While this kind of knowledge is more accessible in the modern age, the art of braiding is still seen as an intimate family thing, and it's not unusual for a youth to come out to their parents by the way of braids - for example a daughter asking her father to teach her how to do the "wife's braid", or a son asking her mother how to weave the "husband braid" for their future spouse. Or a trans kid asking their parents to give them the other gender's braid when it's time to transition from the child braid into the "unmarried youth" one.

It is nonetheless still somewhat common to see an older gay man with a "wife's braid" or two older women both wearing "husband braids", because that was the only way they were taught to braid a future partner's hair when they were young. They could learn the "appropriate" braid now, but it has become a part of the culture, an old-fashioned gay thing to do. It's pride - if you wear this braid to show that you're an adult with a spouse, why try to hide who braids your hair every morning?

The only braid that one is expected to do on themselves is the widow's braid - the only one that is also unisex, braided in reverse from the simple children's braid. Sometimes, young unmarried adults who have no interest in starting a family switch directly into wearing a widow's braid to signify that they are not looking for a partner and are independent adults on their own.

Please reblog this if fanfiction has been beneficial to your mental health.

i encourage you to go to your favourite writer's ao3 page and comment on an older fic, because i can assure you that it will make their day. It can mean so much to see your work doesn't disappear into the void to be never seen again after a day of people interacting with it. Just, if you have the time, go comment on an older work

(pls reblog this to try and get as much writers a bit of appreciation)

Hey, remember the Fatgum Buffet I teased over at @fatgumbigbang23? It’s time~!

Deos did an amazing piece called Skin Hunger, it’s chapter by chapter, and you’re going to love it.

This is for the very cute karaoke party scene, you’ll love it.

The piece for the intro is under the read more!

New piece for Clone OC Bingo! I had the thought that all of my clones so far only have rather law-abiding companions, so I built Saga to go with my deserter oc Tank.

This one is for the prompt Trading Weapons. Saga doesn’t really do blasters, while Tank sleeps with his DC-17. On the other hand, that blade is the last weapon Saga has from his home world, letting Tank hold and use it is far more meaningful than I think even Tank understands let alone me.

As always, card by @clonefandomevents under the cut!

I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.
