I think a lot of people are getting the wrong idea when they call Tolkien a freak because he invented this elaborate framing device whereby the Red Book of Westmarch was actually written by Bilbo and Frodo (with some addenda by Sam) and he, Tolkien, was merely an editor and translator. Throughout history it's actually been a very common literary device for an author to represent their work has having been written by a character who appears in the story, with the author themselves variously positioned as a translator, editor, and/or literary executor. At the time that Tolkien was writing, such a device would have been seen as somewhat old-fashioned, but certainly not eccentric. Like, Tolkien was definitely a freak, but not for that reason.

I tried to write a very short sex pollen troll/redcap story and currently I'm at 5535 words, most of which is politics, and I guess now it's a distant prequel to the Apocalyptic Wizard/Paladin lesbian novel that contains characters who will probably be in the sequel to the novel. Which is cool but I'm only about 14k words into the novel and I also do not know how to like. .... put the sex pollen situation out there for people to read without potentially making problems for myself if I want to try to get the Apocalyptic Questbians novel traditionally published.

On the other hand. he is a very big troll.

ough aaoowwuugghh oougghh so. ah.

this is NOT a good time to order a t-shirt from my etsy, because I don't have the money in my account to cover the production cost of the shirt before etsy pays me the money from the order. however, school is about to start for son boy so if anyone wants an art or writing commission let me know lol! he's mostly fine but I need to buy him a pair of the uniform slacks because last year's is too small, I get paid Friday but it'll be cutting it close so. yea-

realizing I'm not sure if my paperwork went through saying my pay period at work was approved, actually ough Haha ough boy

[eldritchcircus]

Yeah that's a good point! I don't have a ton of brain energy to dedicate to tracking a bunch of different things so simplifying everything is gonna be the way to go...

I'm trying to decide if I want to make some of my paintings available for sale on here/Instagram before it ends up on etsy, just because I know it's more likely I'll stay in touch with someone who bought a painting through social media connections than someone who just randomly finds it on etsy. idk. selling it through etsy means I end up having to do less math for taxes + shipping expenses.

idk, if anyone's been curious about getting a physical acrylic painting on canvas from me and wants to know the price/size and estimated shipping costs, let me know this week I guess.

Reblogging with the link to the new shirts because I forgot to put the link in the first post... world's best entrepreneur

etsy for my cool shirt

Alas... comms are open out of necessity, I never got my hours reinstated at work and the one-two punch of needing to get together a deposit for a new car + having to pay for my first ever ticket means I need to rustle up some dollars in a hurry.

My kofi comms

I have both writing and art comms available, I just ask for communication prior to sending me money because there's gonna be some stuff I don't want to do or can't do within my current circumstances.

This would also be an excellent time to grab a t-shirt! I have the BLOOD AND GORE designs available on my etsy as well as a fun new shirt located here

Ough I want to start posting videos on Instagram to attract attention and "challenge" famous people to hire me as an artist/writer/story consultant/etc oouugghhh I know that's the devil talking but OOUUGGHHH IT WOULD BE COOL IF IT WORKED

[eldritchcircus]

I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT :>!!!!

It's that time of year again! I revisited the Gore design from last year. Also gosh unrelated but I assumed... all this time... that people were like, meticulously hand-drawing the lettering on t-shirts like this, and I spent like an hour and a half per word trying to make this look like an actual font, only to discover like, yesterday, that people just uh... go in like canva and type the words and then it's done ... I may be stupid.

WHATEVER. Next text-only t-shirt I'll do it the fast and easy way, I prommy.

actually you know what. it would be a really good time to buy a shirt right now due to the aforementioned car accident.

38 minute sketch (25 of those minutes was fucking around with YouTube and instagram and sitting in silence with a blank canvas)

I’m trying to figure out a social media strategy that includes me receiving dollars and money so I’m trying to make art that gets posted more often rather than just, say, drawing a cool thing that isn’t ready to be seen yet and then rotting in bed for 12 hours as a reward lol.
