Sunrise on the Reaping Preorder

Just wanted to encourage THG fans to preorder/buy Sunrise on the Reaping from a local bookstore of yours instead of Amazon. Amazon is having a massively negative effect on publishing, so supporting local bookstores would be a fantastic way of breaking down Amazon's monopoly!

Check out indiebound.org to find a local bookstore, or order from any indie bookstore and get it shipped. You can also use bookshop.org as another way of purchasing from local bookstores.

What is the “Wayback Machine” that you mentioned bey ??

The Wayback Machine is an archiving crawler tool designed and hosted by The Internet Archive to document sites throughout their lifetime. It's not 100% reliable as how often a site gets crawled typically comes down to how frequently it updates and / or how much it's visited (and it doesn't store images / videos as well as just general text), but it's often what I use for my own research and investigating when I need to access information that may no longer be available on live sites (like old blogs, galleries, news articles, etc.) It's definitely my go-to when I need to go on my rabbithole dives, for better and for worse LOL

#ask me anything #ama #anon ama #anon ask me anything #also not sponsored or anything but the Internet Archive as a whole is a non-profit online library #it's one of the pillars of the free and accessible internet that's constantly being threatened by politicians and corporations #so if you're looking for a good cause for your next charitable donation pls consider tossing them a dollar or two <3 #the free and accessible internet is why i'm able to do what i do for y'all! from my comics to my long-winded essays

Okay I’ve been posting too much silly Puter stuff lately. Party’s over people

#omori #omori au #omori mari #omori sunny #puter au #mariware #cw suicide #tw suicide #haha I love posting silly content for Puter and then remembering it’s the au where everything ever goes wrong #NOBODY is happy for more than five seconds at a time INCLUDING the ai #ANYWAYS this piece is vaguely inspired by Jack stauber’s ‘library’#which is where the line is from. the whole au is very inspired by his work actually!!#I was listening to it and thinking about Puter and more specifically the incident #and how mariware destroyed everything on sunny’s computer #and then also (small lore tidbit here woah) about the fact it’s been five years in universe since sunny’s death #and I was thinking about how mariware destroyed all his online presence and everything. all evidence of his existence is GONE save for her-#-own memory of him #any photos of him during the time SHE knew him are gone. only old ass photos of him as a kid before mari died #which makes me wonder. with all the strain she’s under processing everything because of her sentience #as well as the fact she has no photos of him for reference anymore #would she begin to forget what he looks like? would the vague memories she has of her beloved brother #the one whose death she feels so much remorse and guilt for #begin to grow hazy? would she only be able to remember that moment #that horrific moment where she saw the life leave his body and nothing else?#and that made me sob so I drew it. it’s also really sad because mariware is the only source of information about sunny during the years-#-after the move. she’s already unreliable as it is but do you think the more she tells the more she’d begin to realise she cannot recall?#with how simple her ai was supposed to be in the game originally #her sentience causes a lot of strain on her. and perhaps the less important memories can be filtered out #but the less important happy ones are the ones she wishes she remembered the most ;(((#and now she considers herself a murderer not only because she feels responsible for his death but because she can no longer remember him

not a surprise but google is continuously getting worse. searches related to items that can be bought will return endless shopping options, then a few vaguely sourced blogs (made by or for businesses that link to even more shopping options). google scholar is fine for subjects that are broadly represented in western academia, but good luck getting past the abstract without an institution to sign in with, hundreds of loose dollars, or a 3rd party site that works roughly 20% of the time. an entire civilization that has compiled near endless amounts of information, but no unified way to quickly and accurately access it. shouldn’t be of any concern though. i’m sure

#im aware of some of the alternatives #and i tend to seek out physical media/books etc #i also use every available library app #but considering the scale of google’s infrastructure #it’s irritating #but entirely expected #that the service has been compromised by the profit motive #google #alphabet inc #ivie

Some Venus ideas

seriously debating on adding Venus to FW so here's some early designs. (like i'm not sure i'll keep the eyebrow marks, they look kinda funky at times). Mostly b/c them having another sister would be adorable. And it would piss Draxum off, which would be hilarious (for reasons i'll explain.)

some more about her under the cut. But it's mostly just random brainstorming i did at 3am

18 yo (3 years older than Raph)

Mutated Ornate Wood Turtle (using some of Lou's DNA.) (so no spider traits.)

Technically their Half sister since Big Mama's not her mother. (not that that will stop Mama from mothering her. She'd get her own room in the hotel and everything : ) )

Was mutated 'first' to test the mutagen.

She was 5 when the boys were mutated.

Venus got misplaced during resulting explosion. eventually found and taken in by the Library Bats. Which is exactly what pisses off Draxum b/c he knows exactly where she is but the bats refuse to give her back to him lol. And no one messes with the bats. (he's got thrown into the kiddy room several times for trying lol)

she's very quiet, shy, and very anxious about and unsure how to socialize with people in general. (✨social anxiety✨)

I don't think she's much of a fighter. like at all. Pretty sure the only way she would fight would be mystics (ie standing in the back taking magic missile esc pot shots wizard style.) she might actually be more of a pacifist than anything. I'm getting the feeling that she wants little to do with fighting or violence personally. Like she wouldn't judge her siblings on it, but she doesn't want to participate. (the only exception being that if someone/thing is hurting said siblings. b/c once she's emotionally attached to those kids, anything seriously trying to hurt her siblings do not get the luxury of her just standing by.)

that's about it.

and a meme about how thoroughly this au is going off track.

#tmnt #rottmnt #family web au #maybe #my doodles #rise venus #still considering if she will be cannon for FW #It would make their Library trip much more entertaining #and it would be hilarious if they figured out Venus was their sister before they realized Nobody/jennika was #Jennika would be so pissed too!#Like jenny drops by the lair #and the boys are talking about how they found out they have a sister #so she gets her hopes up #but then she realizes it's about someone else #(someone she didn't even know about)#and now she's pissed #and kinda hurt #like she almost tells them about their relation to big mama right there #just so she can be included #but she doesn't b/c she's also absolutely livid at them #and doesn't think they deserve that knowledge #ok i went a little off on that #also 'first' is in quotes up there #b/c technically George is in this au as well #(he's in all my rise au lol)#so as a technicality he's the first one mutated #but he was mutated on accident with unfinished mutagen so he doesn't count #Venus was the first one purposefully mutated

The Spell for Unraveling (book 3 of The Buried and the Bound trilogy) has a cover! behold!

i think this is my favorite one yet! i love the stained glass background so much <3 the artist is helen mask, who's done an amazing job on all three covers for this trilogy.

#the buried and the bound #book covers #tbatb #booklr #ya books #illustration #i have not posted this on insta yet it's a tumblr exclusive #well. it's also been on goodreads for a few weeks but shhhh #more info on book 3 to come hopefully soon #if you enjoy this series please consider leaving reviews on amazon and goodreads #recommending it to your friends #requesting it at your library #and pre-ordering once buy links are available (which i'll post here)#those things can help let my publisher know that people are excited about these books #toward the end of a series - unless it's really taken off - it's not uncommon for the publisher to completely give up on promoting it #so word of mouth is the only way it will find new readers

just noticed this when playing some ruina but the book in the opening has lyrics used in Gone Angels in it (on the leftmost page of the book, though the lyrics are mixed into the gibberish on the right)

#specifically these are background vocals from after spinning vinyl opera #project moon #library of ruina #elftisms #is this spoilers? I'd consider the mili songs spoilers so imma put on the spoiler tag #library of ruina spoilers #edit: this is also lyrics to “Lascia ch'io pianga” by george frideric handel apparently - so this could be a reference to both honestly #I'm too new to these games to know if the opening was added after mili songs got added in LOL #but clearly the mili song references lascia ch'io pianga so it's really a reference to both in a way lmao

swear I'm getting sicker and not better

#I can hear my mother's disembodied voice yelling at me #informing me that it's because I keep going out to run around and won't stay the fuck in bed for two days to kick this #it's also only been like three days #maybe I shouldn't go to the library for eight hours tomorrow #perhaps I should go to hofer for food and then stay in bed instead #many things to consider #muss ich denn sterben um zu leben

Maybe I’ll finally Wanze post soon

#as in a more official lore post like holt awol and sonderbar got #ALSO IM SO SO SORRY I STILL AM GONNA ANSWER THOSE INBOX ASKS J SWEAR #Wanze is on the mind there is bugs in my brain!!! wow just like holt huh #their relationship is wild to me they go from barely knowing each other (occasional hallway acquaintances)#to Wanze essentially having the equivalent of a bag of bricks dropped onto her head #which needs a little or a lot of patching up and Holt does that for her #actually hmmm I wonder if I should more visibly leave some marks of The Oopsie on her face #apart from the permanently broken biores crystals #gotta think on that…#anyway I was especially Thinkin about how Wanze really does resent Holt for a while #it’s complicated it’s not completely Holt’s fault #like she can’t control what happened she can’t bring back her bioresonance she’s a medical eule not a miracle worker #she’ll never really understand what it felt like to be part of that mind link #and that leads to some insensitivity on Holt’s part bc she’s really trying to keep Wanze from decommission here #and Wanze! why are you moping you gotta act normal!! Come on Wanze!#neither of them really get each other bc they’re both not stopping and listening like they need to #but they eventually do #also fun Wanze fact but post head trauma fixup she still has to/wants to go to the kolibri library #for stabilization yknow (she’s a nerdddd <3)#however it’s weird and she hates it bc her fellow kolibris are there.#she does not sing the same song anymore and sticks out like a sore thumb when they’re together now :(#she goes at really weird hours when no one else is there to make sure she doesn’t have to see them #Holt sometimes is able to get ahold of books for her #consider them cuddling together reading #that is all #blorbo tag #wanze #holt #Kolibug

Potential January Reads

A Brilliant Night of Ice and Stars by Rebecca Connolly

Rhododendron Pie by Margery Sharp

So Big by Edna Ferber

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Vibrant Paradoxes by Bishop Robert Barron

The Diary of a Country Priest by George Bernanos

Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope

Katherine Wentworth by D.E. Stevenson

#monthly reading lists #books #i have so many specific books that i've been lining up #(especially since at the end of the month i was saving new books for the new year)#that i don't need the wider categories #the january categories are still represented #we have lots of vintage fiction (including an american one)#the first book is the story of the carpathia's rescue of the titanic #soon as i saw that premise i was like 'yes please'#it will cover january's category of a book with a cold setting #i read the first couple of chapters and a novel from the perspective of real people is very weird but i like the story so i'll keep going #i also started 'rhododendron pie' and it seems delightful #it's about someone straddling the worlds of normal grounded people and artsy people #and as someone from the world of normal grounded people who likes artsy stuff but still has the perspective that a lot of it is quite silly #i think it will be nice and relatable #i think i'm going to succumb to jane-eyre-ry #every time i consider a different classic reread my brain's just like 'what about jane eyre though?'#'vibrant paradoxes' is a book of essays that i got for free along with my book of church fathers #it's a very thick book to give away for free and looks good #i love essays and these are nice and short #it'll be good to dip into through the month #(i also want to read the church fathers book but that's not something to put on a monthly reading list)#(just something to read through thoughtfully like the bible)#'diary of a country priest' caught my attention months ago #and now that the library hold came in i have zero interest #but maybe putting it on a list will convince me to try #i'd kind of like to keep this one-barchester-a-month thing going and 'doctor thorne' is next #'katherine wentworth' is exactly the kind of vintage fiction that january is made for and i'd like to try and get it off my unread shelf #oh and i forgot to mention someone recommended ferber's first book #but when i downloaded that one i also figured maybe i should read the famous pulitzer-prize-winning one

rough concept art for the hidden city post invasion.. a barren wasteland picked clean..

#my art #bad future #environmental art is not my strong suit #and i want to make so much more #especially the mystic library i cant wait to fuck that place up #but also. Consider that i am impatient and i love throwing ideas at people #anyhow so a majority of it has been flattened. what remains is empty #since there are so many animal/yokai based buildings #i want to make a lot of dilapidated ones look like skulls #empty rib cages and splintered bones #this thing must resemble a massive. ancient corpse beneath NYC

yknow what i'll put this in the main tags one of my main worries with this (other than the safety of the cg illustrator that was fired and employees at project moon obviously) is that it feels like everytime theres a controversy, project moon just lie down and take it. theyre like doormats. appeasing them isnt going to make them stop, if anything it makes them more likely to do something like this again because they know its going to work and because it HAS before (im looking at ruina)

#hiiii this is me from tomorrow. they were legally allowed to fire the artist yes but i still dont agree w the decision #also adding this bc this is still getting traction one thing ive seen no one talk abt (bc its not important compared to everything else)#is that pmoon originally made limbus a gacha to fund their other projects. im not saying this as like a guilt trip or something 2 consider #btw. im saying it bc they have most definitely lost a chunk of their fanbase bc of this decision and therefore revenue #project moon #limbus company #library of ruina #lobotomy corporation #projmoon #i have sympathy for them ofc bc its a horrifying situation but im still disappointed abt how its dealt with #u are running a gacha game now its genuinely REALLY concerning if u resolve that type of shit like this #text

Sorry I have to disagree with the snob anon Machete looks emotionally tortured and like he has good fashion taste let him have some nice things bcs he deserves them

(Also love love love your art style it’s fantastic and I think it really lets the energy of your ocs shine through beautifully)

.

#aw thank you!#it's fine it's true he's a little snobbish he can be that in addition to being emotionally tortured and having good fashion sense #especially if you consider the older/expanded meaning of the word #which I believe is someone who pretends to be higher class than they truly are #he doesn't have prestigious family ties noble lineage or generational wealth to flaunt #he may hide it well but his origins are humble compared to his peers and colleagues and Vasco #also no inherited debt cumbersome financial liabilities or additional mouths to feed whatever he earns he can spend the way he sees fit #which largely boils down to arts patronage expensive tailored clothing and filling his personal library #answered #anonymous

maetheellen's oc creator

I made my character for keepblr trick or treat!! his name's Soren and he's a polyglot/conjuror. he's in the elite levels, interning in the elite towers' library :3

he thinks you all seem very nice but you're really really not supposed to be here (the towers are off-limits) you're going to get us all in so much trouble and how?? did you even get in here?? please oh god what do I have to give you to get you to go away--

#keepblr trick or treat #i debated whether I should just make ME the elite towers' library intern. like full self-insert moment #but hey I haven't roleplayed in a while why not make a guy <3 #why not dress up online for fun #i also considered being normal josh. but he's a collective oc even though he started on this blog #so i didn't wanna just like. claim him #anyway. this is soren he's going to have a very stressful halloween I hope u love him <3
