Here are all covers for The Grave Robbers Chronicles. I’m still not sure about backgrounds, but I will come back to it after some illustrations.  If any of you have any illustration suggestions, do let me know! I probably won’t stick to the order all that much, so any scene from any book will be ok :) And since the last books are already translated by MereBear I am tempted to draw some illustrations for them right now, so I can make visualisation for a whole book :D

I plan max 10 illustration for each book (+/-), at least for now. 

#these ones! #OP did you end up using these for a fanbinding or was the goal just illustrating? they look rad either way #dmbj

Apparently in 2021 I read both Gilgamesh and the Art of War

This is, perhaps, the funniest of the graphs

How ya doing down there on your own, The Odyssey by Homer?

#and also storygraph has wrong metadata for Hagar's Daughter (1901) which I also read that year #but I'm not sure it'd be visible on this chart anyways because gilgamesh really fucks with your graphs #spacing for 2023 is weird because I actually used goodreads that year and manually put all my books in at the end of the year #so everything got counted as jan1 I think

I’m sorry, I can’t come into work today. I didn’t get a long rest and god gave me a point of exhaustion. All my skill checks are at disadvantage.

Eternal Flame Falls sounds like the coolest concept for a fantasy book. A path you follow down into a ravine until you find an ever-burning flame inside of a waterfall? That’s fuckin metal! But it’s not in a fantasy book it’s like an hour away from my house I can literally go see it any time! I remember it like once a month and lose my shit over it every time

I pray the tomb is shut forever, I pray the rock is never rolled away…

Or the alternative title, “One flesh, one end, bitch!”

It is finally done! The ninth house prayer from Gideon the Ninth as an early 16th century manuscript, because it just made sense in my brain.

#oh this is rad #what a good fanwork format for this #locked tomb

hello! recently ive had an obsession with drinks, and almost each night ive been making one, ranging from chai latte to orange julius, to milkshakes. but ive been running out - do you happen to have any recipes? nonalcoholic would be preferable, and names are just fine too unless it’s not a wide spread concoction. thank you!!!

How about instead of a recipe, I give you some less-used ingredients and you can DIY some combinations?

Red Bell Pepper Juice! You can sometimes buy it at specialty stores, or you can blend/crush/mash some red bell peppers and strain the juice out yourself. I really like it combined with simple syrup and lime juice for a rich mocktail.

You can also use other vegetable juices in fun little drinks. Carrot juice can be surprisingly sweet. Sugar Beets are named that for a reason. There's a lot of folks down here in the south who just drink sweetcorn juice.

You can get a deeper, smokier flavor by braising your veggies until they char a little, before juicing them.

Seedlip Spice 94, for an herbal, conifer-like flavor. I love this paired with lavender syrup, in any clear soda. It tastes like summer!

Coconut Cream (not coconut water! It's different!) Can be used as a base instead of ice cream, with frozen mango for an ultra-creamy, richly flavored frozen drink. The ratios here will be different, so use your own judgement.

Consider going to a foreign food market, and buying like... random canned fruit you've never heard of. Using lychee syrup is delicious. You can also look around for fruits and drinks you've never tried. There's a whole world out there of packaged drink powders!

Gochujang sweetened with honey and lime, cut with ginger beer is... an experience. Get the ratios right, and it's addictive.

Think about muddling herbs/fruits into your clear soda, which aren't just 'mint and cucumber' - Basil and lime. Dill and apple. Blackberry and Anise.

Had muddled basil and simple syrup in some iced coffee recently. It was intriguing. Good? Not sure, but it compelled me.

Be adventurous and you'll never run out of new flavor combinations to try~

#I've hit the point of having a cold where I'm rather dehydrated but I'm so tired of all the normal liquids in our house #so I was like clearly it is experimental beverage time! we stock ginger ale and lime and gochujang #what I did not account for is #if you take 1) carbonated beverage 1) spicy thing and 1) person who's already likely to start coughing at the drop of a hat #that is in fact a recipe for start coughing #but anyways after the coughing stopped so far review is: I need to keep tweaking it #I was a little scared of going too heavy on the gochujang but at the level I put it in (idk a teaspoon:1 can of ginger ale?) #you don't really taste it? what it actually does is it makes the kinda bad ginger ale taste like better sharper ginger ale #which is not the worst possible option but is not as much of an Exciting New Beverage Option as hoped for #I also need to work on gochujang incorporation solutions: we have a thing of gochujang paste which did NOT want to mix into ginger ale #and a thing of gochujang based sriracha which blent better so maybe I should just start with that next time #but it's got a different flavor profile and I'm not sure how it affects the overall drink #also I don't think I added enough lime juice for it to be notably lime flavored #(we're running low and I'm not feeling that experimental this late at night) #like I still think it's an important flavor component but probably better with more #rereading the recipe OP has it sounds like they start with a gochujang-honey-lime combo and then add a little ginger ale #which is sure not what I did #I'd think you'd need either a TON of lime or water for volume in that case? #but in any case starting with a lot more gochujang... #well this was a success in that I have continued to Drink Something #but maybe not an ideal cold beverage for the future #edit: continuing to drink this like wow why does my beverage make me feel actively worse why is my sore throat not being soothed #(didn't add any honey and also bubbles this has a clear answer)
