It’s been a long time since you’ve been on. Just want to drop by and say that I hope you’re doing okay! Happy holidays and I hope you’re well!

Panel 3: Since I last vanished--maybe first vanished? I was kicked out of my dwelling due to a dispute with a partner, I had surgery for one disorder, and have been trying (and failing) to get medicated for another. (Character Jack and author Jack share more in common than red hair. Maybe I'll do a comic on that one day, since we're an often misrepresented minority.) I started a new job, and really, really recently, started grad school. (Wooh! Just got a baby scholarship!)

Panel 4: It's really hard to make art when you lose direction and hope.

If art is an expression of the soul, and you lose yourself, creativity becomes a vacuum. All the more hellish to realize it--you--were empty.

Panel 5: Anyway, THANK YOU FOR THE WELL WISHES, ANON! I'm doing a lot better. A lot clearer. I started to write and (obviously) draw again. I really appreciate your (and the other followers of this blog's) support. You guys ROCK!

I just picked up writing Tales from Mount Othrys again and want to get on a regular release schedule. I can't make any promises, but I plan to release more info on that (and my not-so-secret side project that had to be put on hold for--) soon!

THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING AWESOME!

Panel 6: What do you MEAN--it--it has been HOW LONG?!

Panel 7: Happy two year belated holidays to you too.

Two years....? TWO YEARS?!?

Find the Word

Thank you @serenanymph for tagging me! :D And again, sorry I went so long before doing this one, haha! My words today are ground, glass, grimace, gesture, and genuine!

ground

Ohrik smacked my elbow suddenly.

"Come on," he said, standing up. "Let's go outside." I stared up at him.

"Are you crazy?" I asked. "What if the clouds are open?" He rolled his eyes.

"Then we won't sleep outside," he said. "Come on." He grabbed my arm and pulled, and I had half a mind to dig in and make myself heavy so he couldn't drag me away. But I didn't want to draw too much attention to us by fighting. So I let him take me to the tent flap.

He peeked his head out and looked around. I pushed his head down and got on my tiptoes to see out, over him. It still looked cloudy outside. He turned and got his over-shirt and outer pants, but left the coat. I did the same, and we both put on our boots and went outside.

It was strange to be outside on Lakata. Normally, we didn't even work this day. Mom made tea and we played games or darned clothes. Everything was barely damp, no drips or bubbles of water clinging to the grass blades, no rivulets between rocks on the ground. Ohrik ventured out as if nothing at all was wrong, heading south through the grass. I looked up, picking out the Gate Mountain in the distance. The clouds above were holding for now. I went to follow Ohrik.

glass puddle

Glass basically doesn't exist in this story, so this was the closest thing I could think of. :3

The Run was supposed to be hard. That was the point of it. In order to be an adult and a member of society, a person had to prove they were capable. So they spent eight days alone, keeping warm and getting food on their own, and they won a fight against someone twice their size.

I checked my boots, making sure water was beading properly on them. It was truly raining again today, and water was coming down off of the trees in heavy, steady globs. In the forest, there were gaps in the ground between plants, where puddles formed before the water could drain into the rocks below. It was always best to avoid these, within reason. I wouldn't be able to dry my boots out here. But I had water-proofed them again before we left. It seemed to be holding up.

The forest felt much more dangerous without Ia or Toler. The birds weren't just singing now, they were covering up the sounds of cats. Every bee I saw seemed angry. If I stepped away from the [stream], it seemed I had to travel twice as far.

grimace wince (cw: description of animal kill)

I pulled out one of my mittens and put it on my left hand. Then I pulled out my knife and stepped forward. The lemming bared its teeth and tried to run at me, and I flinched back. It tried again, but its leg was stuck and twisted up by our snare. It had to be painful. The longer I hesitated, the more pain it went through. I took a deep breath and reached for it.

It twisted and bit at me, but my mitten kept me safe as I struggled to grab its nape. It hissed and growled, twisting and thrashing, and I finally clamped it down on the ground and pushed it back towards the base of the snare. But it didn't seem to untwist its leg, panting and squeaking at me. I winced, my stomach twisting. The poor thing didn't have a chance. It was just scared.

I grabbed the nape of its neck and held it tightly, bringing up the knife. I lined up the blade, wanting to make it quick and clean. It kept squeaking, an awful, loud noise, and I finally got the blade lined up right and sank it into the little heart. It went quiet, and I pulled out the knife and let go of it just enough to watch it. It wasn't breathing.

My skin crawled a little. I didn't want to ever have to do that again.

gesture

"Ngas doesn't like me."

Ohrik groaned at this. "You don't know that."

I frowned at him. "Yes I do!"

"Fine, fine, what about Deez?"

I considered this. "Deez is strong," I agreed. "But I haven't talked much to him."

"I'm sure you'd get along," Ohrik said. He carefully examined the tuft in his hand.

"Doesn't he have a wife already?" I asked. Ohrik finally looked up at me.

"Oh, yes. That's right. Who was it?"

I laughed. "Sema. They married this spring."

"That's right," he mused, looking back to the grass. "How well do you get along with Sema?"

I laughed again, watching him. "Why do you mind who I marry so much?" I asked. He looked up at me again. "Who are you going to marry?"

"I don't know yet," he said again, and he swatted the grass away from him. I watched him turn his back to me and toe another grass patch.

"You're not thinking of marrying me, are you?"

"What!" he demanded, turning to look at me. "No! Ew!" I gasped and glared.

"What does that mean!"

"You're…!" He gestured to me, vaguely motioning from my hood to my boots.

"What? I'm what?"

"You're small!" he finally said.

"I'm just as big as Threem!"

"No, she's already gotten taller." I shook my head at him.

"Well, it's fine, because I wouldn't want to marry you, anyway."

"You'd be so lucky," he said, crossing his arms.

genuine clear

The rain and clouds above and the water below thrummed like a gentle static in the air. I let the spirit of it soak into me, penetrating the warm and protective clothes, through my skin, into my bones. Water was easy, it was unstoppable, it gave life, and it never hesitated. The blood of this world, forever cycling between sky and sea, the next life and the life before. Raindrops to rivulets to streams to rivers to the ocean, and all back again.

I slipped into river stance. Easy, strong, always moving, always changing. I flowed to rain catcher. To river father. River mother. Ocean pull. Easy, slow, and strong.

Threem began to sing. Her voice was clear despite the heavy rain. I followed my hierarchy, letting her voice and her words pass over and around me.

It did not take long for the birds to gather. They landed on the rocks, their massive talons gripping the uneven surfaces easily. Threem and I didn't pause as the first one approached. It looked between us, its black feathers puffed threateningly. A black beak, a girl. My stances turned me away, but I kept her place in my mind's eye. Another was approaching, on the opposite side from her. Gray beak, smaller, his black feathers smoothed and dripping. He came closer to me, his sharp eyes studying.

I'm gonna gently tag @those-damn-snippets, @surplus-of-sarcasm, @kaatiba, @afoolandathief, and @tildeathiwillwrite, as well as anyone else who wants to play, for the words hungry, messy, laugh, stomp, and blue.

Oh I really broke Tumblr.

... I sent so many stars to people it started saying people didn't have ask pages. ^^;;;

[wraenata]

!!! YOU DANCED I am so fucking proud of you! Hell yeah!

Thank you kiaxet! I definitely thought of the confidence boost you gave me several months ago when I got out there! It was by no means very good, but I did it!

Hopefully I can loosen up a bit more next time I attend a wedding. But bestie and I jammed out on the way back to her place and that was really fun! Specifically to all the "us" songs from college XD

Today we went to the farmers market and a Vietnamese restaurant! I tried matcha boba tea! It was definitely interesting but I liked it! I'm just not used to drinking sweet beverages so I didn't drink much but it was cool! My stir-fry was awesome too! And I didn't feel sick at all!

And then I drove to the Asian Food Market and got my lotus root! And some snacks because I always like trying new things!

Picture of what I got below the cut

And thank you again Kiaxet your encouragement and praise meant the world to me. You're a real sweetheart <3

That's a purple yam sweet bun, I ate it for dessert it was really good!

I actually did buy the piggy red bean paste moon cake last year, but he's so cute I had to get him again.

Is taro and purple yam and ube the same thing? Idk but I will find our!

Also I've tried lots of different mochi but never banana so this will be exciting! I love banana flavored things.

I don't remember what the matcha pancake thing is called but I had to get something matcha, just in a new form I've never tried before.

And some miso soup powder.

Also there was a Japanese gift shop in there and they tempted me with pokemon plushies. I was this close to grabbing a wartortle or meowth or mew but they were $30. I paid for besties lunch today too thats enough spending for a while lol

[ricksoo]

Wow... I was not expecting Pig to show her expression THIS intense before 🥺 Is that why this hits hard?

Though... with all the suffering and pain everyone is having, Pig did had it the worst.

I was hoping the purification would go smoothly but... with all those sneak peaks, seems like it won't be as smooth as I expect it to be 😔

the purifying begins :>

[sadrockandwaltzes]

Just me making (sort of unfair) digs at Jim Gordon's love life from 16 episodes into Gotham (Sorry Jim☹️) So spoilers up till that point😅

Jim really isn't made for this whole relationship biz huh😅

He's too brave for Barbara and not brave enough for Lee

He wants to work 23/7 whenever he gets a call but also have someone who will be there to spend time with him that last hour of the day, but not waiting desperately for him so that he's not nagged. He doesn't feel comfortable doing his work with them around, and basically seems to enjoy the single life more than anything...

So either stay single, long distance date, or date Bullock, since he's already used to working with him (except something tells me he'd get uncomfortable with him on police calls too if they got together, proving that dating coworkers is a dangerous thing...)

Well the last paragraph's mostly a joke but I assume since Barbara and him are end game that she'll stay out of his police work and cool down emotionally, and he'll stop looking for someone braver and be happy with a girlfriend who's totally uninvolved in his life. WHICH- what does Barbara do??? She's rich enough to afford the penthouse suite?? But we've NEVER seen her work, and her fam seems to not ever want to see her. Do they send a check in the mail once a month??

Oh and unrelated but I met the Joker!! Kinda like him ngl. Time will tell if that stands...

[askshivanulegacy]

Yessssss. This was the one MAJOR issue I had with the movie. There was absolutely ZERO (good) indication that Ballister even lost his arm. The visual sum total of the scene is the sword getting slapped out of his hand, which understandably was jarring because you see him holding his shoulder at an odd angle ... oh his arm is held behind him I guess, too stunned to move again??? Ok. But he absolutely didn't incur a violently major life-threatening, limb-removal injury.

Quite literally, I could have never noticed that he'd ever lost his arm. I was THIS CLOSE to believing he'd ALWAYS had a robot arm because that scene was SO underwhelming. His reaction was so FLAT, and if you're watching through without pausing and you're not looking in the right spot with everything else going on, you don't even see the arm isn't attached.

Make him SCREAM, make him FALL, make him REACT. Show a red flash to indicate Goldenloin's sword bit flesh and not just thin air. Make the scene MEAN something to the characters, because it really didn't other than the presumed betrayal.

It just bothers me with how deep the hurt should have run in that scene. It could have been SO powerful and it failed so hard, leaving you to just plug the gaps after the fact.

Anyway this art is GREAT and I'm glad someone recognized what we COULD have had.

Most people who lose a body part experience something called 'the phantom pain'

Wich is basically when the brain goes "you know what? Imma refuse this body part doesn't exist, gonna think its there, and right now, it hurts like LITERAL HELL"
