You are a person who covers your counter space in clutter and inadvertently makes a shrine to a long forgotten god who shows up to thank you.

I HATE HOW HARD I LAUGHED

Agathaʼs coat.

Linings are important. They are a peak into the private space of a character or garment. In the case of Agatha’s coat, I wanted to design something that would be a pictorial history and prophecy of Agatha’s character arc within the show. I knew we might only glimpse it on camera and so it in truth… I made it for Kathryn. By creating a complex and private art piece that only we might know is there, it became my personal spell I was casting for her to “have a good show.”

It starts with a murder of crows gathering in a chaotic cloud up behind her shoulders. They begin to dive down and pour themselves into columns in each of the skirt panels and as they fall, their bodies transform into protection runes. They collect near the hem organizing themselves into elaborate sigils, each one telling part of her story. I asked my costume graphics designer @sergiomechoulam to pull lots of inspiration from Norse symbology.

Each of the skirt panels contains 1 talisman from left to right: Grief/Loss Ingenuity Consumption Beguilement Mentorship

We also created specific graphics for the sleeve cuffs: Left hand (inward/receiving): CONSUMPTION Right hand (outward/casting): DECEPTION

PSA for Switch owners

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.

To turn it off

go to the eShop

go to your profile where your funds and account info is

go down to the bottom of the page

there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”

select the Change

select “Don’t Share”

Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.

I won’t be the only person in this hellsite who is obsessed over horror killer mermaid stories and then constantly die inside when not only there is a severe lack of that sub genre, but also when amongst those few these two mfs are one of the few ones that actually have good compelling stories, and I’ll make sure of that!

Presenting Wind Whistler in all her glory! She is inspired by one of the original 1980s My Little Ponies.

If you aren't familiar with her but follow My Little Pony, you may recognize her from this meme---

Part of why she is so special is how I decided to make her clamshell wings, just like the original toy. She also has foot bottoms based on the original toys as well.

I also decided to give her a handcrafted bow like how she has in the cartoon. 🎀

I’ve got my tumblr inbox turned off so I really have to commend the person who actually emailed me to let me know they don’t like the things I’ve posted about the UnitedHealth CEO being murdered on their commitment to their beliefs.

But seen as how you emailed me from a dud email that appears to be bouncing back replies and I really wanted to address something you said to me about violence begetting violence:

My migraine medication, the medication I was given for my debilitating neurological disease that has gotten so bad I spent most of this year actively suicidal, costs $1300 a month.

My insurance covered it. But only because my doctors office went to fucking war for me because I’m a high anaphylaxis risk for the drugs the insurance wanted me to try.

Because that’s the thing.

My doctors knew, based on my documented medical history, I likely wouldn’t be a good fit for the “first line” of preventative migraine drugs, but because of insurance, I had to be given drugs that were contradictory to my other life threatening conditions, because otherwise insurance wouldn’t cover anything else.

I failed them. Spectacularly and with an anaphylactic reaction to one of them. And I was still warned insurance would fight me because I hadn’t tried the remaining drug they wanted me to try.

A drug which I would have to take in an ER waiting room because my mast cell disease is unpredictable but insurance wouldn’t cover in-patient treatment to let me try it safely under medical supervision.

Is that not violence?

Were all the times I was denied coverage for vital and necessary procedures that could have prevented my disabilities from worsening not violence?

Maybe not in the sense you mean. But I assure you it felt very much like violence to me.

Do I condone murder? No, obviously. But I’m also sick and tired of people pretending that what is happening to the American people every day isn’t eugenics through class warfare.

Violence begets violence.

It sure fucking does.

Maybe these insurance companies should have thought of that first.

Russian informant, propped up by Republicans, was a liar. A total fabrication.

Alexander Smirnov was cast by Republicans as one of the FBI’s most trusted informants, offering a “highly credible” account of brazen public corruption by Joe Biden that formed a pillar of the House impeachment investigation.

It was all a lie. Planted by Russian intelligence agencies. Repeated by conservative media.

Republicans routinely use Russian propaganda.

Republicans' Joe Biden impeachment and Hunter Biden investigation were all based on lies planted by high-level Russian officials.
