"The main character is female, and there's all these other female characters, and its written by a woman. I don't think I can get into it. I don't mind strong female characters, but you've got to have a balance"

Said a man about book, after raving about other books that were written by men, involving male main characters, surrounded by other male characters, and the odd token female character.

I just...do you even hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?

I shouldn't be surprised really, this is the same man that complained that we're pushing a 'political agenda' on young children because of the picture books we stock, and that we should only have books on 'normal' (ie: cis heterosexual white British) families...while his youngest was happily flipping though a picture book on unicorns and rainbows, like, the fuck you on about? 'Normal'?

And how the hell do you push political agendas on the age range that picture books are aimed at? They are blobs of human that like dinosaurs and unicorns, and laugh hysterically at anything with 'poo' in the title. They don't care about your political agenda bullshit. They're just in the library to have fun, dickhead.

Recently decided to try and learn how to draw digitally.

After seeing the blep cats I thought 'let's have a go', as it gave me an idea for a Guardian fic.

Don't think they turned out too bad.

Digital art certainly takes the fear out of drawing for me.

Apparently it's been over a year since I last came on here and shits now on the side of my dash not at the top, and where the hell is everything?

It's like someone's come into my house and shifted everything an inch to the left, and stored everything else to the right just to spite me.

I'm just gunna mutter irritably while I figure this bollocks out again.

There is a reason 'begrudingly' is in my name.

[begrudginglytumbling]

...well that was certainly something.

Seeing good fandom posts on your dash, but it's Eurovision night so you scroll past like

...is Finland sponsored by Monster energy or something?

Same colours and he’s clearly ingested a shit ton of caffeine.

I wonder how many times Sweden has jabbed herself with those talons.

[begrudginglytumbling]

No. Nononono.

Non-political show.

Why the hell were the prick in a fancy hat and horse-face on here?

The monarchy has no place in Eurovision.

Serbia - vampire trying to live in a future dystopia? Or game character that went for the looks instead of the stats?

It’s like she’s got some kind of rhinestone rash taking over her arm.
