ok ignore this in case it’s too dad joke material, but the bird art thing @ bsky made me remember why my, ehhh, coat of arms looks the way it looks. so, ladies, lads, and everyone at any point of the spectrum that is not described by these words - behold.

(sneaking an illustration in just because that’s BIG MOOD tbh)

🕊️THE TALE OF THE CROW

Once upon a time, a flock of geese was preparing to migrate for it’s a seasonal thing for geese. A young crow came up to them and asked to join the flock (for linguistic reasons, in this story the crow is she/her). “Crow, with all due respect”, said the geese. “We NATURALLY migrate, we are EQUIPPED for that, do you really think you can keep up?”

“I am strong”, said the crow, “I am brave, I’ll manage.”

And so they took off and started their journey. They faced a wild woodland; “U still on board?” the geese asked. Quoth the crow, “I am strong, I am brave, I’ll manage!” They faced a wide river and checked with the crow again; her answer remained the same. After a week of their journey and the crow repeating, “I’m strong, I’m brave, I’ll manage” like a mantra, they arrived at a sea...

“Look, crow”, said the geese. “We can swim and we can rest upon water. You clearly can’t. You would have to cross the sea in one go or die. Are you POSITIVE you still wish to go on?”

“I am strong, I am brave, I’ll manage” was the answer.

So they flew. And flew. And flew into a storm. It was a wild thunderstorm that at some point quite literally blew the crow away, and she disappeared into the waves. The geese passed the storm through, arrived at the shore that was their destination, but the mood was sour. “Hey”, one goose said, “we kinda mocked her about her being different and naive and unequipped for the journey, but let’s face it: she WAS strong. She WAS brave. She almost managed, come to think of it!”

And before anyone could say anything, they noticed a tiny black dot on the horizon. It grew, and grew, and it soon became clear it was the crow, soggy, battered, barely moving her wings. She reached the shore, collapsed beak down onto the sand and just wheezed. “Wow”, said the geese, “forget what we’ve said about being unequipped for the journey, crow! You’re amazing, you actually did it!”

The crow unstuck her beak from the sand and croaked, “Yeahh, I AM strong… I AM brave… but I aM SO! FUCKED!! IN THE HEAD!!!”

Now please take a look at my userpic.

‘Forta’ is Latin for ‘strong’.

‘Animosa’ is Latin for ‘brave’.

‘Rabida’ is not an exact translation, but I am sure you get it.

That peculiar feeling when you're simultaneously terrified, tired, and know for sure which weird artwork that would be a disaster for any wall it's gonna hang on you're gonna paint next...

omnes una manet night night

Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me

sometimes you do just have to lie to children.

book from the sky (tianshu) xu bing, 1989-91

I was so excited to see a copy of this in real life bc it's something I studied in art history. this is a book that was typeset and printed by hand using wooden blocks but every one of the characters was invented for the sake of the piece and does not correspond to any word in the Chinese language

Wait what's with wake up and smell the coffee?

i have recently reposted my take on its foreword (it blew me away when i read it, it's too honest), and today Eric B. resurfaced @ ig with the news that they're recording the opening part of that same collection of monologues for his project :3

[erebus0dora]

What does it feel like to be hit with Appolo's prophecy ball? (this is about your Wake up and smell the coffee post)

i just hope it doesn't mean the rest of my shitposting is going to come true xD

[erebus0dora]

actually, frankenstein is the name of the scientist. the horrible emo monster nobody wants to fucking talk to is named lord byron

ANOTHER self-reblog bc i found the originally sized Tarot stuff and uploaded it to the folder :}

some of you asked if you could print/chew/otherwise consume my Devil's Minion art, and i did ask if you needed a masterpost on the topic, so-

may i offer you this Google Drive folder, o gentle creatures..?

i'll add more, and i believe it's sensible to add the links to the original posts with these images, but frankly speaking i am chill with whatever way you use or share them if that's for your personal use

just keep them free, that's my only request

what was born as a free art should remain free art

any questions left? ask them, i don't bite unless you would really like that

now, have a peaceful day and my digital hug

💜UPDATE💜

it feels appropriate to make it a fully shaped masterpost, links and all, so... links to each and every artwork on the theme - below the cut

i most likely posted it here long ago, but i feel like repeating myself if only to express the current mental state

[erebus0dora]

i feel this in my bones

a niche ship had me deleting all my filters on ao3 and just raw dogging it in there. discovered that I’m even more of a freak than I previously believed and also that sometimes you gotta give that tag you hate a try

[erebus0dora]

a self reblod because time zone reasons and the fact that i added this to the DM masterpost 🫀

i know traditional g-rated art rarely attracts much attention, but i like the way this fragile flower turned out to be

it might still not be the final version, as i love sculpture dearly, and i have images of bare bones and blossoms rooted deep in my mind, and to be completely honest i am salivating a bit at the thought of trying to sculpt a complicated, aged face (see: Eric Bogosian; he might neither come across this post, nor see it as a compliment, but hey, i'm just leaving this here for the record - THAT IS A VERY INTERESTING FACE, fascinating, even, especially from a sculpting pov)

i know there's much left to be desired about this creature, though; but the moment i saw the petal texture, i knew another old fictional magnolia had to blossom in the most carressing manner
