posting this little thing, while I’m neck-deep in iwtv wips…
#my art#my doodles#discworld#city watch#samuel vimes#sam vimes#havelock vetinari#fun fact! I had literally NO idea what Vetinati’s terrier’s actual breed was when sitting down to draw this sketch#and based on VIBES PURELY I went “hmmmm wouldn’t it be fucking precious if he had a wire fox terrier? and it would fit so well too”#and because it was blackout time and I was too lazy to go borrow some internet and actually check#I fully finished the picture in blissful ignorance#then electricity was back internet was back perfect time to check (not that I was gonna change anything at that point…)#and GUESS FUCKING WHAT!??! mr. google says it IS a wire fox terrier (the first one at least? I’m not that far ahead)#GOOD JOB ME. impeccable character analysis if I do say so myself

I found a really cool book at my university's library and decided to do an study of this beast that was in one page (photo is by Gerald Hinde, according to the book's cover).
The book is titled Cats of Africa: behaviour, ecology and conservation, by Luke Hunter.
ID: a drawing of a caracal looking up with its mouth open, its only shown from the neck and up. The lineart of the drawing was made in a notebook, and the drawing was later scanned and colored digitally. The background is completely green. End ID.
#i couldnt finish reading it before summer break but im so gonna borrow it when i come back >:]#i didnt borrow it for the break because it is too big and it could be damaged while i moved#irbis draws#animal art#animals#animal artist#art#caracal#felidae#felids#felines#mammals#animal illustration

Have been reading this sci-fi romance and like UGH u ever really wish a book was just at least a little better??? There's stuff in this that's interesting but also a lot about it that's so... Juvenile and kinda undercooked lol...... But it's so hard finding good romance bc for a lot of romance readers this is enough, except even then not really since they prolly didn't fuck nasty enough in this book for the ppl that just need the merest pretense to read smut (which is fine if that's what u like there's just an oversaturation of this, esp when you can have a light plot/heavy smut story with slightly better writing and internal world building without having to explain and describe the 'boring' parts 😅)
#i have another romance series i like and return to and i feel like i couch it so much when i say its good actually#but my recent attempts to get back into reading and find a good romance this last year has kinda shown me#i was taking the quality of writing in that series for GRANTED#this series which has more smut than the book I'm reading but has very compelling world building evocative writing interesting cast#meanwhile the author I'm reading might as well just say I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE WRITING THIS at points of the book and worse#they're upfront that this aesthetic in this book is inspired by a game and it's clear#they're taking for granted u know the aesthetic and barely describe anything#which is kind of a problem in contemporary romance a lot but there's times when the writer clearly has a vision and just doesn't communicate#anyway this is for no one I'm just right about to finish it after hoping every chapter it would be better#text posts#the thing is too i have played this game they're referencing and it's got nothing to do with the game except the setting/environment#but if i hadn't played that game i wonder how well i could picture it#they also didn't name another game that I'm pretty sure they took inspiration from#i know it's hard when you want to write a character that's smarter than you but over and over it's like why make her have a skillset#if you clearly aren't willing to do any of the bare minimum to make it seem like she actually has the skills or knows anything 😔#the forward on this book is literally like A/N: I didn't want to research anything for this book so i didn't#and since i said so you can't judge me!!!#yes i can.... it's only by the grace of the fact I'm reading this on a borrowed ku account and didn't pay for it that I'm not harsher lol

And now somehow I have to finish Knife of Dreams and Fourth Wing, both of which are just massive steps down after Dark Heir
#like rising to the mountain peak of good fantasy euphoria and then plummeting off the other side#back to sea level which is fine but in comparison#i miss the mountains as they say#vii makes bad decisions about epic fantasy series#look i am not saying knife of dreams and 4th wing are bad but they are just nowhere as good#usually i would fall into a ‘nothing can top this’ reading slump after dark heir but my coworker let me borrow her copy of fourth wing#so i’m obligated to finish it in a timely manner#only 200 more pages to go! 😩

What is something you find beautiful that you feel like no one else sees the beauty in?
#from the desk of anachron#for me it's decay#not the finished bones but the parts in between#when a body fills with gas and bursts#and the flesh is falling apart#how beautiful is it that without you in it your body can't go on?#that without you the world reincorporates your husk?#you're born to a body#you live#and then you give your borrowed cells back to the earth that gave it to you

Quill, I am very happy your dad has finished keeper. I have a few questions for him, if you do not mind. Feel free to answer them as well!
Now that he has read it, what was his favorite part?
Is there any moment he would erase/change?
Favorite character? Least favorite?
What does he hope happens next?
Anyway, I hope that you are well, and that you are taking care of yourself as your high school career comes to a close. Please remember to drink water and take any medication you might need.
-⚙️
He said he is happy that internet friend (you) is happy! And I interrogated him over a bowl of mediocre oatmeal, and this is what he had to say:
Favorite part: "I think my favorite part was right at the end, when Sophie and her friends were all taking action. Especially Sophie, Maruca, and Marella, they were all 'We’re going!' When hopping in the portal." He liked that they were actually taking action and not holding back. This blends into the next one a little, but he also mentioned that he liked the scenes where characters finally started just telling the truth. Sophie straight up telling Keefe she liked him, talking things through with Fitz, etc.
Something he'd change: "Not a particular moment, but I don’t care for all the drama." Specifically when they're not being clear with each other. He cited Sophie's confession and how she kept trying to hint and Keefe wasn't taking the bait. "Fucking just say it."
Least Favorite Character: "I dislike Stina, but you’re supposed to dislike Stina. She’s very one sided now—before they (Sophie and Stina) were very nuanced and I kinda got why she was the way she was, but she’s fallen back. She's not my least favorite, but I don't like her."
Favorite Character: "I mean I always like Ro, and I always like Biana. At least since Biana like, figured herself out. They say what they’re thinking and do it." To the point characters!
Hopes happens next: "Honestly, I just hope it ends. Every story has to end eventually." Not that he isn't enjoying it, because he is, just it also needs to end and feels like it's dragging on (citing 70 pages just looking at memories--the cache).
That's what he had to say summarized! Other thing's he's said "another fucking. *sighs* cliffhanger again?" and "well now the cover makes sense." Can't wait until he blames me personally (for fun) for the long wait for the next book because "if you hadn't gotten me into them, I wouldn't have to wait for the next one!"
#kotlc#kotlc stellarlune#quil's queries#⚙️ nonsie#i am doing well and taking care of myself dw!#drinking water and all that! not taking medication though#oh I suppose my mother will want to borrow stellarlune now too#i was going to say that now I have my copy back and can stop using the online version!#but probably when she finishes her current book she'll take it to read#if you all ever wanted my 40yo parents opinions and thoughts on a middle grade elf series oh boy oh boy do I have the news for you!#odd thing to want but hey. someone here has to have good relationships with their parents and sharing my interests#taking one for the team#long post

(pitch voice) Do you like character-driven fantasy with bittersweet romance? Well, then the Shattered Kingdoms trilogy might be something for you! (pitch end) Jachad, Lahlil / The Shattered Kingdoms (c) Evie Manieri
#illustration#book art#evie manieri#blood's pride#the shattered kingdoms trilogy#shattered kingdoms spoilers#jachad#lahlil#jachad nisharan#jachi#meiran#the mongrel#manieri is a highly underappreciated author (in my opinion)#I borrowed the first book from the library several years ago and really really enjoyed it; but they did not have the rest of the series#so I thought to simply buy the full story for myself - only to learn that it was basically impossible to get a hold of in my country#and thinking the missing books might come back in stock I decided to wait; cue me finding out the situation got even worse after a few year#so in the end I had to order second-hand versions from overseas and then the first package got lost and I had to order again and then#the first package showed up (sigh) but I figure it's better to have two books too many than two books missing#but anyway I got 'em and I finished reading them a few weeks ago but now I just keep pulling the books off the shelf to stare at them#I even have one on my desk right now 'as reference' but I'm considering letting it stay there as a calming factor#I don't know what's wrong with me. maybe waiting and wanting to finish a series for several years finally broke me.#it's not a perfect story or anything and I was a bit disappointed that some story lines were completely dropped#but I still got what I wanted from it so. count your eggs or whatever that saying is.#also I'm so sick and tired of this image#'let's draw something easy and fun!' I thought. 'let's make something colourful!'#'let's make everything ORANGE'

Hey real quick talk, while sometimes I might reblog Harry Potter fanarts, just know in NO WAY, will I ever support JKR. I will support rewrites of Harry Potter on AO3, I will support fanart, but never, and I mean NEVER, will ever buy any of the books, or merch, or movies.
#worktoom speaks#harry potter#i like seeing the rewrites on aO3 because they fix a lot of the problems in the original books#it's the same way with helluva boss#and miraculous ladybug#and danganronpa#and probably a lot more things that i enjoy the IDEA of#it's like that one song from Tyler the Creator#“I hate wasted potential”#“That shit crushes your spirit”#i meant to say lyric but whatever you get what i mean#because it really does#i like the IDEA of harry potter#but Jesus Christ on a cracker#the way it was written was so bad for me that i never finished the third book all the way back in middle school when i borrowed it#from the school library#i was more of a percy jackson kid to be honest#it wasn't until recently that i looked up rewrites of harry potter on aO3#and wouldn't you know it they're infinitely better than the actual thing#i know this is a lot of tags#but i needed to say it
