I haven't drawn all month because I've been cross stitching and I feel like I might die if I don't, but cross stitch is RIGHT THERE

#kite rambles #should do a quick study so i have something for the year summary #I've finally been able to do those i don't want to ruin it for me #imma paint a bird or summat #I'm gonna finish this cross stitch of it kills me #I'm almost halfway #I've never finished one before but I'm gonna finish it I'm gonna #once again lamenting i don't have more hands

As you pull the shard out, even just its presence... Laudna, you feel that reverberating [sound], and that voice be like, (as Delilah): "Now's the time."

Slug City fake movie poster for Smooks, featuring the bay's harbor boardwalk, foggy seas, and her beast made of paint.

#I'm never going to get tired of center symmetrical posters #my art #my ocs #smooks #eyestrain #slug city #extremely happy with how this one turned out #painting #unfortunately the speedpaint recording crashed halfway through and I didn't know until I checked when I was almost done! #which is a shame... #you can really tell the eve mv inspiration for this one #I have such vivid scenes in mind of her on this harbor looking out to the mist

Diversity win! The reincarnating megalomaniac obsessed with the Main-Character™ is genderqueer!

#omniscient reader's viewpoint #yoo joonghyuk #kim dokja #orv manhwa #orv #nirvana moebius #i don't think i necessarily need to tag spoilers b/c these panels aren't like showing someone dying or getting a new power or anything? #but idk #I'm only like halfway through that arc and they seem to just be yet another monster of the week character that's more scary than the last #ao their existence and existence of characters like them aren't really like /true/ spoilers if that makes any since? #i think #they are an interesting character though just not a terribly world ending one (yet at least) #can't believe i read almost 160 manhua cahpters over the past two days instead of writing essays & studying for finals 😅😔

Me, at 11k words, still trying to finish this Elucien fic before Halloween

#I think we're almost there 😭😭 #Look is it going to be my best? #No it's going to feel like a 12-13k fever dream #This fic is comprised of pain and stubborn perserverance #I'm pretty sure I blacked out halfway through #elucien

[kirstielol]

I finished reading said the black horse at a truly ungodly hour of the morning yesterday (too exciting to leave unfinished, as I'm sure you understand) and I wanted to say that it's fucking incredible, I absolutely adore the characters and the setting you've created, I have been telling and will continue to tell all of my friends about it, and it's made such an impact on me that I'm motivated to try and work on my own writing again. I would print this book on a stack of letter paper and eat it. thank you for such an incredible story and I can't wait to read anything and everything else you put your heart into!!

i sat on this one for a bit because i reread it a bunch of times lol. thank you so much, this really means a lot to me! especially in telling your friends, since i purposefully chose not to selfpub on amazon it means i don't have a lot of reach*. thanks for the amazing motivation for me to keep up with writing as well 🧡 🧡

#almost at the halfway point of book 2 i'm bringing levels of communication breakdown previously thought impossible #*i'm not asking for publishing advice. idc if you share the pdfs if u bought them i'm not a cop #mvf

either the dragon theme from BotW was written Like That bc they knew what they would do with the dragons in TotK, or the composer read the script for TotK and let out the biggest evil cackle in the world. either way I am suffering

#ya know how in botw theme is such a special wonderful incredible experience that fills you with silent respect #and then. in totk. the light dragon theme. that is almost the same but sadder because it's also another theme. and it hurts. #totk liveblog #totk spoilers #loz liveblog #i'm still only halfway done with the 4 regional phenomena <3<3<3 i'm slowly exploring and side questing and enjoying the sadness

Been thinking a lot about BloodWeave and the potential for some healing for Astarion via the Weave sex scene

So like some people find healing through indirect intimacy via writing and reading sex scenes in fiction and exploring it in a safe-feeling environment, what if Weave!sex or intimacy via the Weave is removed enough Astarion realizes he can explore things via that method of intimacy that he can't explore otherwise because it doesn't trigger his ptsd and he doesn't dissociate or feel disgusted.

Just. The potential for healing. And that makes him fall faster and further for Gale than he ever could have expected.

Please excuse any errors about how the Weave sex scene works since I haven't seen it in full yet. I only know of it. Maybe I'll feel differently after seeing it, but if anyone wants to use this for a fic please do. I'd love to read it.

#Gale Dekarios #astarion ancunin #Gale of Waterdeep #Astarion #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #I still love shipping Durge and Astarion but I also really really like BloodWeave as a concept #Im almost done with my durge/astarion playthrough and ive started a bloodweave one where im playing as Astarion wooing Gale #I'm not even halfway done with Act I and Gale is already near max affection with me. ILU but please raise your standards Gale

I think I've arrived at a strange place where I've accepted that s3 was dropped at the last minute even when it seemed a sure thing, and that given the current landscape seeing it renewed by max or picked up by another streaming service is unlikely, but also there is a tiny possibility however small that it may happen (and if any show has a chance, it's definitely one as successful as ofmd). and what does it hurt to keep making noise while I mourn my show, I can do both

#I'm so smad #i think it's so hard to accept because we all know how successful s2 was and we all know s3 was almost in the bag #but it's not like max hasn't canceled shows that were halfway through filming or shelved movies that were ready to be launched #and it's also not like they didn't let someone else buy the coyote vs acme movie because of the backslash #so who the fuck knows

does anyone else have that odd. guilt about feeling homesick. like you’ve moved away from your parents you’re independent and there’s nothing wrong with where you are but there’s still that part of you that will never stop longing for your old bedroom / the smell of your mother’s perfume / the way your dad always made you fried eggs on sundays and you can’t help but feel as though you shouldn’t because there’s such an awful childish vulnerability in wanting to go home; the terrible admittance that you crave unfettered, easy love.

#i definitely think theres a cultural aspect to this in which the west tends to encourage independence almost to a fault #whereas (speaking from personal experience) asian communities are very family oriented #but yeah.. this has just been on my mind lately #i'm nearly halfway through uni and yet i still find myself so eager to return home every holiday #c'est la vie i suppose #ive been such a sap over this that i keep texting my parents 'i love you' and theyre like Is everything ok
