Fun fact: the stingless bees Tetragonula carbonaria can make beautiful spiral structures in their hives to house their young!

Wisptober Day 21 : Honey “Roaming through a forest of dead trees is a living suit of armour.  Even from a distance, you can see the gleam of golden honey dripping between the cracks and hear the buzzing of a hundred thousand bees.” I like to think he stand at the edge of the woods looking over the field while his bees polinate.:3 (he spooks the farmers but they tolarate him)

why is it always "you have an infestation" and "oh my god why are you covered in lesions" and never "how is the wasp's nest in your attic? is it nice? does it thrum with life and malice? does it sing that you are beautiful, that you are a home, that you can be fully consumed by what loves you?"

Jane Prentiss, in her statement to the Magnus Institute: "I'm not one of those fools chasing fractals."

The hive sings so sweetly, but apparently, it also just shit talks the spiral sometimes

ML inheritance AU character concept dump! Plus some Madame Orpheus inspos I had and wanted to include after seeing @wisteriasymphony tags on the og post! (also renamed Harelequin officially, so thank you for another pun!) The last doodle is also why alya's hood does not have ears- but let's just call it intentional character design 🫡

some of my favourite destiny artworks i've made ! all from circa 3 years ago. the savathun triptych and bernis senderis still do the rounds sometimes and seeing them in my notifs fills me with so much glee. they remind me of my favourite characters and favourite parts of the destiny story. very fond feelings even after so long

pss i am disabled and unable to work a regular job. art is my only source of income. if my art has ever brightened up your day, please reblog it so that more people can see and i can hopefully get some work before i starve. the ai slop has taken over everything and it is all of our responsibility to fight against it by supporting the people who create and share work with us. plus having that bit of security and peace so i'm not constantly on the verge of breakdown will also allow me to get back into making art to share with the fandom ! everybody wins. i hate having to ask but artists are dropping like flies and we are losing so much amazing fanwork due to the lack of support

If not friend, then why friend shaped?

Decided to draw a comic of how I hope ‘Heresy’ ends.

It was a lot of fun, but wow am I not great at drawing people.

Hopefully the formatting doesn’t get mixed up!

The cycle is the same. The pain is the same. We eliminate those who oppose the Light. They annihilate those who do not worship the Dark.

In the end, only sorrow remains.

I am the many-mouthed hunger. I am the knife-edged truth.

One thing no one told me about The Magnus Archives was that after listening to it every single time I get even the smallest itch a voice in my head intones "I itch, deep below the skin." And! Not only does it apply to physical sensations but emotional itches as well!! The slightest discomfort or anxiety creeping in at the edges, my brain offers only the fact that I itch,, deep below the skin,,, the song is loud and beautiful and I am so very afraid...
