Mid-August riff; some books acquired, etc.
The last two weeks flew by. My kids went back to school this week; they are attending the same school for the first time since elementary school, my own dear mother, that school, and I am relieved, if only temporarily from driving duties. We are making pizzas in an hour or two to celebrate the first Friday of their school year (we make pizzas every Friday as a nifty fridge clearing activity, but…

#assassin's creed#assassin's creed origins#bayek of siwa#SHRHSERHGHGHHhhhGHHGHH#manifesting a 2025 where i can achieve some kind of financial stability that lets me periodically justify taking a weekend off#to just draw some stuff and not feel some kind of awful chest crushing anxiety doom spiral about time wasted#anyway ive been chipping away at this one bc it took a million years to figure out how to achieve the sense of scale#i was imagining. also i read a book about akhenaten and it made my brain feel like it was turned to mush BUT it was extremely#interesting and now im deeply invested in a handful of egyptian dynasties#and somewhere in all of that i outlined two ac origins fan comics. after Acquiring Information on things#@ 2025 please PLEASE. give me a weekend where i can spend it all doing bayek fan comics#also i wish to acquire a new spine. i think. i slept on a much softer pillow than im used to and my entire body has been fucked for a week#like. my neck feels like a jenga tower where everything is out of place. and somehow. my hip feels TERRIBLE#i want to give my body some kind of deus ex upgrade. ehghhh

what do you think about han kang winning the Nobel prize?!!
hi ! from a literary/political point of view really happy about it, both in terms of what it means for a south korean writer to win the nobel and for a south korean feminist to win it in the context of the recent backlash / rise of violence against women in south korea. also I haven’t read human acts but am so curious about this book + saw someone on twitter celebrating that the nobel went to a writer whose major work asks the question “how do you live in a world where the state can just murder an unaccountable number of people and then nothing changes how can you live” and I think it’s a powerful message in the midst of what is currently happening in palestine and lebanon but also really everywhere in the world. however.....from a personal point of view I’ve only read the vegetarian which I did not like although I do think it was an issue of translation (it felt so clunky and afterwards I read several articles about deborah smith which reinforced my feelings on the matter). I want to reread the vegetarian and her other works (especially human acts) in their french translation (co-translated by a french-korean woman which gives me hope for a more faithful translation) and hopefully that will change my opinion cause it’s SUCH a shame for one bad translation to tarnish a writer’s work

I'm researching Scottish mythology for the Cyberknights AU, and I was skimming through the wiki entry for the Glenmasan manuscript (I'd tell you what it is, but I haven't actually finished reading yet), when I read this sentence
Like what are the fucking chances
#not art#not cod#not exactly at least#I love love love when I just come across something that perfectly fits what I need#what do you mean there's a fuckin 13th century manuscript of scottish mythology that is allegedly written by someone called John M'Tavish#cyberknights au#if anyones interested I've done a lot of thinking on the worldbuilding for cyberknights... and i WILL infodump if given the permission#new blorbo acquired..... his name is Eoin M'Tavish and he's been dead for like 800 years <3#joining blorbos as the wanderer from the exeter book who may never existed and also been dead for a 1000 years#and that one Georgian queen who was so epic they wrote several books of poems about a guy representing her fighting armies#Edit I was checking how common M'Tavish (or MacTavish as it's the modern spelling) is bc I was like 'am I stupid is that just a common name#but its not. theres only about 3000 people with it#which is pretty damn rare in my standards (tho my surname is even rarer but mine has a weird ass origin lmao)

Riff on some Friends of the Library Sale acquisitions
I ducked out of work maybe a little bit early on Friday and filled a brown paper bag with books at a Friends of the Library sale. I picked up some hardback first editions of books I already own in cheaper formats–Lucia Berlin’s A Manual for Cleaning Women, Denis Johnson’s The Laughing Monsters, P.D. James’s The Children of Men, and Ben Marcus’s Leaving the Sea. I also got hardcover editions…

New month, new blorbo:
I bought the book for the lols, but it was unironically a good read, and now I am an unironic Balan Wonderworld fan. Oh, well. I've been in stranger fandoms.
Goddamnit, why wasn't the game given a longer time to cook??? We could have had a masterpiece of a game on our hands, but alas, we live in the darkest timeline.
#fanart#new blorbo acquired#who came off as hella creepy to the audience at first but ultimately was a giant wholesome blorbo#blorbo#balan#balan wonderworld#balan wonderworld book#the book is unironically good go read it#suprisingly good books#books#kindle books#crappy game great book#bad games#balan fanart#balan wonderworld positivity#balan positivity#wonderworld positivity#balan the character deserved a better game#blorbo fanart#quick sketch#might digitalize later#i still love all of my other blorbos#i don't push older blorbos out of my heart i just make more space for the newer ones

Having the power to read about other alternate universes is nice and all until you see how your life could have been, and then it's downhill from there :>
#a hat in time#demondoodles#ahit#my art#snatcher#queen vanessa#ahit vanessa#ahit snatcher#ahit prince#Ahit oc#Ahit fanchild#OC - Estelle#This is when she recently acquires this power and wonders how her life would have been#She didn’t take all too well at seeing the happy family she could have had#<3#She grows a bit distant from Vanessa after this but eventually just lets it go#she read worse happening to other variations of their children so she knows she has it good#so she just learns to be very apathetic and uncaring of other's fate but still#she revisits that book once every 50 years#missing something she never had <3
