Can I just say when I saw the you & Kazuichi art on my dash, I got really happy? You two are so cute and I missed seeing the little doodles of you two <3

Thank you, you’re super sweet anon 🥺🥺 (I’d hug you right now if I could)

I think I’ve gotten over my massive Kazubecca art block (that lasted way too long) so expect more in the near future when i’m not sleeping the day away ^^

[theellana]

Money can't buy happiness, but it can definitely buy me lots of cool art as a birthday present to myself 😁

... Almost exclusively fandom related, obviously 😊

Look at the prettiiiiiiiies! (now I just need to decide where to put the stickers and wear to hang the prints 😱)

Close-up and details about why I bought each one (as well as credits) under the cut 😄

Unless stated otherwise, I got these from Redbubble :). I'll tag tumblr / link insta / link redbubble (in this order), just in case you want your own

I want to survive this world that keeps trying to destroy me - quote from Ninth House, by Leigh Bardugo. I read the book, loved it, and I too want to survive this world, whatever it throws at me. Amazing art by ruiazevedo.

Tattooed Ginny, tattooed Harry, tattooed Sirius. @savysami's beautiful work to imagine which tattoos different characters would get, and how they'd look. Sirius is full on bad boy vibes, but also some gorgeous soft tattoos. Ginny is her awesome badass self. And I couldn't not get Harry 😁. Got those as stickers in 5.5x5.5", cos I couldn't afford more prints, but I'm definitely hanging them up instead of sticking them xD. Bought those off of her website ^^

“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing” - quote from Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo. This one isn’t inspirational, I swear xD. It’s just very representative of Kaz, and I love him, sooo... Also, can we talk about the design of this crow’s head cane? It’s just gorgeous! Art by bookishartuk

Ace Planet is a cross stitch I did a very long time ago, but I meant to change where it was display so on the bed it went xD. Pattern bought on etsy from @mathysphere 😊

No Mourner No Funerals sticker by loshimizu. Wanted something for my favorite crows, and this was just perfect. The "if you know, you know" kind of fandom references I love. Also, fits with the other stickers on my laptop, since they're all just black xD

Let Them Rest by @gryzdolnik. You probably wouldn't tell seeing it like this, but those legs belong to Joe and Nicky 😁. But firstly, I know exactly who are those two person enjoying a well-deserved break. Secondly, this drawing radiates peace, and that's much needed right now, imo ����

We're Meant To Find Each Other, sticker by silentcomedy. Speaking of everyone's favorite incurable romantics... The swords... The quote... Simple, but very efficient design representing them :D

Howl's Moving Castle's scenery by c.detective.momo. Got this as a greeting card cos money, but will definitely display it as a print. I love that it's just pretty... But also taken from my favorite Ghibli movie ever, you know? 😁

Kodamas by ninich. Small but oh so cute. Look at me showing off my love for Princess Mononoke by sticking them everywhere 😇

You've already seen it, the cross stitch-a-long by @mathysphere is done and going up on my wall 😁.

(second picture ;))

The headbonk of looooove. How could I not get a printed version of this art that was done for me by @gryzdolnik? 😁 Headbonks are Joe and Nicky's love language, clearly :D

Red Princess by Onichi. Howl's Moving Castle might be my favorite Ghibli, but Princess Mononoke isn't far behind. I love the paint splatter effect, as well as the three colors theme. Very fierce representation of San 😊

Tattooed Percy and Annabeth, also by @savysami. Do I need to explain? First, the look really really good together. Second their tattoos are gorgeous. Lastly, the meaning behind those tattoos is beautiful. Including Percy getting stick-and-pokes because he's impulsive like that 😁. Also bought directly from her shop.

Allons-y by PasteBaby. Listen. I'm French. Every time the doctor goes "Allons-y", I giggle, and mentally finish the sentence with "Alonzo". Also look at the prettiness of those sweet pea flowers, which according to the design's description represent goodbye. Hm? My eyes? Nah, that's just a bit of dust from moving stuff around

Alex Stern by @oblivionsdream. It's very fitting for this print to be the last in the description, because it also was the last in my cart. I had told myself I was done, no buying anything else, that was enough. But then I saw this representation of Alex Stern, the main character from Ninth House, and I just fell in love. It's both exactly how I imagined her, and even better 😍.

And that's it xD. If anybody's still here, thanks for reading. I tried to make it fun, but I also really wanted to give credit where credit is due, cos this is some pretty amazing art 😍

y'know what? queer books did, do and forever will hold a different place in my heart. the aftermath if every book is somewhat similar yet very different. for example they all give me many new friends and novel points of view to tackle my life in. I get to say what would they do? but I also get a new range of emotions.

for non-queer books it is nice and it lasts, but it is not what I hope it really is like. love and family, to give an example. straight cis people have it so easy. they don't have to make a decision between loves and identities or juggle emotions and lies for the sake if others and a weak sense of safety. they get to love whomever they want under no circumstances, whenever they want and are able to show it in every possible way. but for queer people, our love and identity, even today is not a part of their norm, as they try to keep on streamlining. we have to posses multiple facades and secrets and bruises that come with this baggage. we are tied to a ball and a chain. and even if we weren't we cant cherish it. so queer books and authors that take time and effort to create these queer stories are like a liberating hand.

for ones like me, to begin with they show how good and easygoing it can be. they show that there is a world out there that accepts us as who we are unapologetically and flamboyant and- just as who we are. for every queer book that I read, I see how undifferent it is, how the feelings never change and we belong. (I feel like the feeling of never belonging is a side dish if being under the LGBTQI+ umbrella)

it is of the same nature that we feel and express ourselves and the others that cast the shadow and pour the rain over our umbrella are the the others, that labess us the un-normal

and ever queer character I read, is me, liberated and unapologetic and worth and beautiful and personal. every kiss they share wipes away a tear or heals a bruise. and every other friend, family and significant other is by my side, they love me too.

and that is what books are supposed to do. those kinda books stay for the long run with you.

by your side, sitting in your bed with you every night and morning blanketing you and pushing you forward to want the better that you rightful to have as any other person.

(I know it sounds like I'm separating everything into opposite polars and talking in very general terms and with many hyperboles but as from what I see each day it is what it is. this is what has been going on and what we are fighting to break.)

i was doing my annual spiderman rewatch (because we all need bby parker in our lives I take no cristisim on this one) and this scene reminded me of Penny.

I don't have the book with me so I can't pull up the exact quotes but the part where she talks about Shepard being her responsibility because he made it into her zone. (I dont remember it correctly i know but bare with me)

at this point a comparison must be done.(again more will be coming) because what Peter does is or rather his journey is similar to Penny's. ai they both pick through their faults and self doubt (aka the second spider man movie with Andrew G.)

i dont know whether @rainbowrowell know about this (i feel she must have seen this move but did it affect her choice) or she is just that good at creating ?-?

Amon Part Twenty Three

“So those two.” Graymark said pointing to the two seater vehicles. “And make sure they have the additional gear as well.”

The orc looked at the blood elf with an arched eyebrow. “Full package is 1250 gold a piece, I'll give you both for 2200.”

Graymark opened his bag. “Here is 2500 gold, full packages, and if anyone asks if we weren't here.”

The orc took the pouch of gold. “You were ninjas.”

Gray nodded and looked back to the group. “He's going to get them set up, so you say Nefarian was killed what, 30 years ago?”

No one said a word.

“What?”

“You just gave that guy 2500 gold.” Twin said. “That's more money than my whole family has ever had. Period.”

“Well, Trolls aren't a high society kind of culture, I'm not surprised.”

Twin started to growl and then stopped. “Smells like an insult, looks like an insult...”

“It's not an insult.” the mage explained. “Look, in Silvermoon the entirety of elven culture is based on perfection so everything, and I mean everything, is far more expensive than normal goods. So we tend to have more money than most races.”

“How much more?” Kaz asked.

“That was the equivalent of about 500 gold to a normal person I'd estimate.”

“You just bought us two mounts.” Vickers said, sounding a little overwhelmed. “From the money in your pocket.”

Graymark nodded. “So blood elves have more money than most.” Vickers nodded. “My family has more money than most blood elves.”

“That's ridiculous.” Twin spat.

“Look, I have no problem sharing. If we need upgrades or gear I can handle the expense.”

“I am not a charity case!” Twin screamed, getting right into the mage's face.

If the made was scared he didn't show it.

“I didn't call you a charity case. Would you lend me a gold piece if I asked?”

Twin nodded.

“Then here.” Gray handed 50 gold over to the troll. “That's the same thing to me. It's not pity, it's friendship. Take it, leave it, I am just offering.”

Twin looked like he was about to throw the money and Kaz moved his hand over Twin's and took the gold. “We do need upgrades and this is a good start.”

“Ok look, you said Nefarian was killed la couple of days ago right?” Gray asked again.

“Thirty five years ago.” Vickers corrected him.

“Same thing, So there has to be people here in Orgrimmar that has to know something how it went down right?”

“Surely.” Twin said.

“Ok, well here.” Gray handed another bag of gold to Kaz. “You two go get our gear and have it stowed on the mounts. Vickers and me will go find some information about Nefarian's fall and his lair.”

Twin opened his mouth to say something but Kaz took the bag and slammed his foot on the troll's foot. “We can do that.”

“Why do you keep stomping my foot?” Twin roared at Kaz.

“Because you might take offense to me kicking you upside your head instead.”

Twin looked at the panda's leg and then measure to his head. “I call bullshi...”

The panda blurred and before the troll knew it he was on his back in the dirt.

“Let's go before they think to add us in their fun.” Gray said to the paladin.

“Not fair!” Twin said to Kaz. “Let me get ready.”

“No.” Kas said, tripping Twin before he could get up.

As Gray and Vickers walked away they could hear the troll let out a blood curdling scream.

“So explain this to me.” Vickers asked, once they were far away from the dueling pair. “You have a library in your bags?”

“I have this.” Graymark pulled out a bound tome with no markings on it. “It is the source codex of Kara's library.”

The tauren looked at the mage like he was speaking human.

“Any book stored within the library at Karazhan can be reproduced here.” to prove his point Gray held the book up to his lips and said quietly. “Unabridged history of the Silver Hand Order.” and then blew on the book.

He opened the book and Vickers was shocked to see script start to form on the blank pages, making a complete copy of the book he had studied under Liadrin.”

“Ok, so you have the entirety of Karazhan in your pocket.” Gray nodded. “And you are over a thousand years old?”

“Over 1,100 years.”

“Fine, and yet you don't know what happened to Nefarian merely 35 years ago?”

“Well before this I studied in Silvermoon and there is very little that is not sin'dorei that penetrates the city. It took the scourge literally knocking on our door to get our attention about the Lich King. My kind really don't take a great interest in your affairs.”

“And why is that?”

Gray shrugged. “Have you ever owned a pet?” Vickers looked confused. “Like a dog or a domesticated feline?”

Vickers nodded. “We owned a tamed coyote when I was young.”

“Ok, and how long do they live?”

Vickers thought about it. “Maybe seven seasons, sometimes more.”

“Ok, so in that seven years did you ever try to keep up with it? It's day to day rituals, see where it went every day?”

“Of course not.”

“Right, and if you did you'd find out two things. One, they did the same thing a lot and two, they didn't live long enough to make the watching worthwhile. That's how my kind sees the shorter lived races. We barely have time to learn your names before you die of old age and we have to start all over again. So much happens in your lifetime that results in very little that most of my people tend to only notice the things that last.”

“Well I am sorry we don't live long enough for you to care.” Vickers asked, rather upset to be compared to a coyote.

“It's not an offense.” Gray said stopping. “And I didn't say I didn't care I said my people. You asked why something like Nefarian's slaying wouldn't be known to my people I ask you, what does his death have to do with Silvermoon? In the scope of things in a thousand years what will his death have wrought? The second war, the one where the alliance laid siege to some territory and such?”

“The second war was much more than that.” Vickers said stiffly.

“Not to my kind. To my kind the only thing really mattered was that we split with the kaldorei about who to follow. Do you see? To you that is history, to my kind it just happened. We still have contracts with Darnassus, there are goods being made in Silvermoon that will be delivered to them. Your kind moves so fast you don't take time to settle things out but my kind, we have more than enough time to take it slow and we do. So you're asking if I knew that a dragon had been slain thirty something years ago is the same as me asking you if you knew Alenjon Sunblade had slain more scourge in The Deadscar?”

“Who?”

“Exactly.” Gray said. “Let's find a veteran and I bet a couple of ales will loosen his lips enough to tell us everything about how the black prince was killed.”

They began to walk again. “I am not a fan of the way your people look at the rest of the world.”

Graymark looked back at him and sighed. “Neither do I friend, why do you think I am here?”

After a few rounds Kaz and Twin gathered up their belongings and headed off towards the Valley of Honor in hopes of finding gear.

“How much did he give us?” Twin asked Kaz.

“Gave me.” Kaz answered.

“Don't be an ass, how much?”

“Enough. Let's go in there.” the panda said pointing at the trader's hall. “They might have something.”

“I hate haggling.” Twin said as he followed Kaz.

The panda looked back at him and smiled. “Then let me show you my true skill.”

An hour later they were in possession of two enchanted rings, a set of old dog tags that possessed some of the strength of the fallen warrior who had used them before and a brand new windwool tunic for Kaz.

“Ok I am impressed, how much we have left?” Twin asked, tucking the dog tags under his armor.

“What do you have in mind?”

“Weapons.”

Kaz glanced back into the auction house when the guard spoke up. “You ain't gonna find anything worth killing with in there.”

Twin looked the guard up and down. He was grizzled and had seen more than his fair share of fights. “Then were can I find something worth killing with old timer?”

“Head back to the valley of strength and find Jamus up above the throne room. Tell him Belgrom sent you. He can hook you up with something.”

“Thank you.” Twin owed slightly to him.

“Throm-Ka.” he said, giving Twin a salute.

Kaz and him walked off. Once they were out of earshot he said to Kaz. “He didn't give us a second glance when we walked in there.”

Kaz nodded. “I noticed. And what was with the salute.”

Twin nodded as they passed another pair of guards and they both stood to attention and saluted.

“What the hell?”

Kaz looked back at Twin and smiled. “The dog tags, I bet they affect how people respond to you.”

Another set of wandering guards stopped and gave the troll a salute. “Oh this can be fun.”
