Is this a safe space for me to say I adore Joe Abercrombie's sex scenes?
#like... they're a little weird#and off putting#or not off putting but like... almost too realistic for most books#but there's something very raw visceral and real about them that i just adore#you know... piss kink allegations aside#reminds me of the 'home in three days don't bathe' thing#that people attribute to napoleon#i know he didn't really write that but i still love it#first law#joe abercrombie#i think monza/shivers has to be my favourite#sorry every now and then i just randomly start thinking about first law#god i love those books

Hmmm… so y’all’s fantasy is for Sam to become Captain America by default only… In your wildest dreams — if you could have anything happen — Sam would still encounter racism, only now Steve and Bucky would be making out in the background while Sam shields them from society, and takes on all of the responsibilities????
Y’all. Are. So. Freaking. Weird.

Everyone talks about Al being a bit of an eldritch being, and for good reason, but I think all demigods have that capacity and I want to give them some attention. Today is Ethan's turn.
Ethan's face is so, perfectly symmetrical it's straight-up uncanny in an oddly disturbing way. It's like when you see a picture of someone's face but it's been duplicated from the middle and you can just tell there's something ever so slightly off about it. That's what staring at Ethan feels like. Now that his eyepatch unbalances it, it's not as much of an issue but when he was a kid he was so offputting.
His gait looks like a robot's attempt at generating a natural walk cycle. It's so even, so rigid even when he's completely relaxed, and he just looks so bizarre in a way that you can't quite put your finger on it until someone snipes that he acts like he's being run by an A.I. program.
#pjo#percy jackson#ethan nakamura#let demigods be weird!#they're half god!#they are STRANGE#and OFF PUTTING#THEY'RE. SO. FUCKED. UP#Q

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.
Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"
#ok to rb#music#ipod#spotify#only apple product ive ever genuinely liked was the ipod#i had an ipod classic i bought off trademe that someone had put a higher capacity harddrive in#think it was like 320GB or something#i loved that thing#mywriting

I was walking on a rather remote beach when I came upon this Whip eel drying up in the sun. These are intertidal eels that can actually handle themselves out of water for a bit, but it’s not normal for them to be fully exposed in direct sunlight like this. The tide was at least six hours from coming in and I felt like this eel was in distress, so I made the decision to dig him out and return to the ocean. His body was too delicate to be simply pulled from the hole without injury, so I got to digging.
This endeavor took about 40 minutes as the eel was quite long and difficult to excavate. Also had to continually refill my temporary eel pond to keep him from drying out entirely while I worked.
If you are an eel aficionado like myself, please enjoy this silly little video of the relocation process set to some jaunty royalty-free disco music.
#had to put this to music because my pants of exertion while digging intercut with noises of distress would be very off putting#whip eel#eels

Dear Diary,
Today I have acquired a new blorbo. It is, of course, a wretched little man with a somewhat twisted sense of honour. I put him in my blorbo basket and carried him home. Tomorrow I shall display him on the mantel when my friend comes for tea.
#this is about richard sharpe#i've been putting off meeting sharpe because i knew this would happen#this is going to be a problem for everyone who knows me

#atlas entry#I was about to post the poll and then I turned off my screen and put my phone in my pocket#I had to move some of the options around so I copied them. I guess tumblr decided to paste that in all the options lol

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
#katniss everdeen#the hunger games trilogy#the hunger games#primrose everdeen#hunger games#batcavescolony reads the hunger games#suzanne collins#'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl#and this isn't negative just bffr girl#your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is#old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU#...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in#CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the#reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously#shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent#so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to#district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie#and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give#them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like#some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12#cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact#that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good#these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the#hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to#comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but#of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

License to Kitty.
#dungeon meshi#izutsumi#marcille donato#chilchuk tims#I still stand by my tags on the Izutsumi character study piece I did in January - but I will repeat myself on a few lines here:#I *really* love this character. I love that all of the dungeon meshi crew are complicated and have difficult to love components.#But Izutsumi is a particular kind of hard to love. I foresee a lot of people being turned off by her abrasiveness and lack of teamwork.#She is very self-centered and openly goes against what the party agrees on.#She's a picky eater in a story that is 50% about eating good and healthy food!#It is in part about her growth but admittedly even *then* she remains rather true to her self-centeredness.#Even though she isn't as nice or funny or compassionate as the others...Izutsumi is still someone worth loving.#Even the more difficult people are someone worth loving.#And those people in turn are people who have something and someone they love.#She may be a girlcat but she is the most human of them all.#I hope that if you are an anime only watcher and are feeling put off by her at the moment; you'll give her a chance.#By the way: *yes* I worked very hard to draw that skateboard pose. It was worth it.#EDIT: HAPPY 500th POST OF POORLY-DRAW-MDZS!!! What a comic to commemorate the milestone with!

My take on unicorns! I'd really love to make a mythical creature field guide someday, since the Spiderwick Field Guide is what inspired me to start drawing in the first place 🥰
#also I actually drew this in like. March lmao#I just kept telling myself I was gonna do a full painting of them in their natural environment and then I kept putting it off#until I realized I didn't actually wanna do that 😂 maybe someday if I get a chance to make that book then I'll do it#my art#unicorn#junicorn#speculative biology#unicorn art

Such exquisite lighting....
the performance is over, take a bow
#oooh the stage turns red when they take their hat off#a gesture which represents openess abs honesty#but this time for something scarier#because although it is good for him to open up#siffrin's truth is a bit terrifying#and off putting#in stars and time
