Well this warms my frozen little heart. That's an award that means more than a dozen Emmys.

Me: GenX goth girl who picked up her first issue of Sandman back in 1989 and has read the series through more times than she can count.
My spouse: has never read the comics and has only the vaguest idea of what it's about.
We're three episodes into the Netflix series and I am telling you, I have not had this much fun with reader vs. never-read since the first season of Game of Thrones.

"When he gets his stuff back and his powers back, does he actually, like ... do shit, and not just mope around?"

Despite months of upheaval and being dubbed a "vile deviant" for writing kissy fanfic, I did it: my fic for this year's @theterrorbigbang, Something Rich and Strange.
Harry Goodsir's life, imagined as a garden of forking paths. It's 1848 and he is dying in a tent on King William Island. It's 1849 and he is having yet another tiresome argument with the administration of Surgeons' Hall over funding for the museum while he waits for his friend Edward Forbes to return from the Arctic. It's 1854 and he's serving in the Crimea with James Fitzjames. It's 1861 and he is collecting butterflies under the watchful eyes of asylum orderlies. It's 1870 and he is walking on the beach near Fife with his children. It's 1886 and Silna holds his hand as he breathes his last. All of these things are true.
Featuring:
The stunning art of @elfgrandfather !
Ruminations on mortality, fate, paths not taken, and what could have been!
A sequel/prequel/spinoff to last year's story and another installment in my growing AU!
An excessive commentary post!
All the things you have come to know and love about my Terror writing!
Enjoy!

Penguin Fitzpenguin has a new pal, Armfish Fitzarmfish.
DeadGhostCrafting is doing God's work here. All his armfish are delightful, but obviously I had to go with this one.

Good morning, fellow aficionados of terrible medical history. Would you like an interactive text game about pre-germ theory, pre-anaesthesia surgery? Well, you're in luck.
Amazing.. Spectacular.. Sensational.. Superior... Does Spidey ever catch a break?
Three animations I made back in 2018 after the first teaser of Spiderverse was released, mashed into one little film.
Music was done by Fionn Power, find his work here:

So I once went to my local mall's underground parking and i found an odd space next to it. Here is what it looked like
And its just completely unused, you can step on the grid that you see on the top and can look down, but you wont see anything significant.
Instead of having the grid above the actual parking they just created this awkward space and im not sure where they were going with this. Maybe its for storage? Who knows...
Anyways i want to stand there and take in the ambiance.
I was looking for animal poses on Pinterest and found someone… awfully familiar.
Ah, I've seen this one! That's a silken windhound. Most sighthound breeds are more or less ancient, but silken is new, developed in the USA in the late 1980's, so they're far too recent to fit Vasco's and Machete's setting. They're very pretty though, and sometimes give off strong Machete energy, like this specific individual.
*against all better judgment, someone invited Solomon to dinner and he managed to sneak his way into the kitchen with MC by distracting Mammon (the guard) with loose change. After the main meal has been plated and the brothers have taken their seats, he comes out carrying a tray of mini-sandwiches with a big ol'smile on his face*
Solomon, the human who ruins any dish he touches: Hold on, everyone! I made appetizers!
The Brothers: 😨
MC, the human who can make anything taste wonderful: I helped!
The Brothers: .....
Mammon: Family Meeting!!
*the brothers get up and huddle together in the corner, whispering*
Belphie: I'm not eating that.
Beel: But MC helped this time...
Lucifer: It could be edible.
Levi: They haven't made a bad meal, yet...
Satan: But is it worth the risk?
Mammon: How do we even tell'em if we don't wanna eat it?
Asmo: What if it makes them mad and they stop cooking for us all together...???
Brothers: .....
*after coming to a consensus to not upset MC by hurting Solomon's feelings, they go back to their seats where Solomon has already put one of his sandwiches on their plates*
Solomon: Go on, don't be shy!
*the brothers all eye each other and pick up the sandwiches in unison. A silent stare down occurs with no one wanting to go first until Mammon finally snaps and takes a bite. The others gasp and the room is silent*
Mammon: *looks straight ahead, frozen*
Levi: M-Mammon...?
Mammon: *does an experimental chew, then a couple more*
Asmo: What’s going on? Is it bad??
Mammon: *swallows... and takes a second bite, earning another collective gasp*
Lucifer: Mammon, say something!!
Mammon: It's... *feels tears welling up in his eyes*
Mammon: ... okay.
*the brothers stare down at their own sandwiches and each take their own bites. It is a perfectly average sandwich, mediocre even. Nothing special about aside from one thing: it's edible*
*cue seven grown demons finishing their plates while barely holding back tears of relief*
MC: See, Solomon? They love it!!
Solomon: *extremely proud of himself, probably marking this day on his calendar later*
