#AND ITS 400 PAGES

[zeldasayer]

never thought I’d use a moleskine again but the expanded version is SO inspiring, I’ve never grown so much in a notebook, or filled one this quick

Would you ever consider a physical release of what lurks beneath? I adore this comic and would love to have a copy if it were ever meant to be!

yeah! (: My friend is resizing WLB for print!

It's slow going, these pages need a lot of editing. None of the night scenes in this comic would print nicely, so i need to lighten the colors in a lot of scenes. But i am actively working on it! (:

It's going to take some time.

Their kiss is messy, awkward, not quite sure how to put their mouths together. House gasps into it softly, grabs at Wilson's hair and touches him, like that's all he'll ever be able to do. Their noses bump and he laughs into Wilson's mouth, giddy, grabbing onto him like he's all he can hold onto for the rest of his days. "Okay," Wilson says, out of breath and wild-eyed. "I... That was a good test run. I've got some mixed feelings. What about a confirmation of my suspicions, doctor?" "You need proof for your thesis?" he teases. Before Wilson can answer, he pulls him into another kiss. This one is more confident, eager— their mouths press together in a song and dance that is a little too innocent for two men in their forties. We really are a tiger away from an act in Vegas

I kinda always forget the Rhuidean stuff happens this early in the Shadow Rising (I am 400 pages into the book) like I always think of it as almost like the climax of Rand's part of the book, but its not even the halfway point (I am 400 pages into the book) and happens before Perrin or the Elayne/Nynaeve arcs even really start (I am 400 pages into the book)

[weaselwiggles]

also I cannot overstate the very surreal feeling of going from stormlight to other books

i went from the 1000+ pages four books back to back to back, a book took over a week (and I'm a fast reader AND unemployed, all I did was read)

and then uh. Edgedancer is 200 pages.

Well! that's okay! Edgedancer is a novella! It's ok that I finished it in like, two and a half hours! We love Lift!

And then I go to Mistborn era 2 again with 500 pages.

I fear I may be entirely caught up by the week's end. What will I do then???

[daisyachain]

There are works which are not [genre] but works made that have read a lot of [genre]. YJ is not an anime but it is a cartoon that has watched a lot of anime. MTMTE is not a comedy but it is a space opera that has watched a lot of sitcoms. I’d like to learn the term for a work that is deep in conversation with a genre without belonging to that genre even as a hybrid. Specifically works that address, lampshade, satirize, employ genre signposts without obeying genre conventions.

1, 4, 12, 24, 25!!! for the historical asks :D @brawngp2009

Ask me about my historical interests :D

TAN!!!! Tysm for the ask 🥺🥺 God, I'd love to answer all these questions tbh, they're so fun!!!

1. Who is your favourite historical person?

I have a few 🤭🤭 HRE Charles VI, Napoleon Bonaparte, T.E. Lawrence. There's others I like of course, but those are definitely the three I research the most! Also I'm inherently fascinated with most Habsburgs from like, 1400 to 1800, but its tough to research in depth about all of them :,)

4. Favourite historical era?

Right now, either the late Baroque period or WWI, since that's what I primarily read about these days. But I have a huge love for the Napoleonic Era, and I'd really like to delve deep into it soon, but it's just so vast! I also have a fondness for the early Rennaisance period of the Habsburgs, its genuinely so funny and unhinged, I need to read more. But yeah the Baroque period in Austria/HRE and right now, the Middle Eastern Theater of WWI, since I'm deep in a book about it rn. The latter haunts me all the time, I have too many thoughts and feelings about it ;;;

12. Would you take part in reenactment? In what era and as whom?

Maybe??? Gah, honestly the opportunity to dress up in any kind of historical clothing or uniforms is sooooo appealing to me. I get so incredibly jealous watching vids of people who only wear historical clothing or people who get to dress in full historical uniform. I think it'd be fun to either go to a Baroque masquerade or to participate in like a Napoleonic Wars or WWI reenactment :D I'm mostly just interested in the clothes icl

24. Most underrated historical figure?

Hmmm honestly I think so much about the narrative in this one J.C. Leyendecker book I have. How Norman Rockwell did everything he could to copy what Leyendecker was doing. Yet everyone only ever really talks about Rockwell now, in terms of America Illustration, and Leydendecker is so much lesser known, which is frustrating. So yeah I wish people would give him more credit for how much he shaped American imagery and advertising. He popularized, to name a few: depiction of Santa as a bearded jolly man dressed in red, the New Years being represented by a baby, etc. As well as popularizing an idealized look for men through his advertising art.

25. Most overrated historical figure in your opinion?

I've talked about this a lot but I'm so fucking tired of hearing about Franz Joseph and Sisi and the era of the Austro-Hungary monarchy. They're not necessarily uninteresting, but it pisses me off how over-represented they are when discussing Habsburg and Austrian history as a whole, and the way people act like its the only meaningful era of Habsburg/Austrian history to study. If you go to Vienna, they are Habsburgs fanatics, BUT MOSTLY ONLY FOR THAT ERA.

I swear to god, every Habsburg biography dedicates half of the book to Austro-Hungary and crams ~400+ years of history into the other half. Theres so many fascinating figures and moments in those 400 years but nope, let only talk about Franz Joseph. The infernal rage I feel opening books titled "The Habsburgs" and yet its just the late 1800s-early 1900s. All of this combined has really soured me on that era and I have no interest in it really. Also I kinda despise most if not all monarchies post-Napoleon, they become unfun to me after that point.
