Researcher and doctorate @NoraEpstein on Twitter just posted a video of the new tattoo she got commemorating her PhD.
And… she footnoted the artwork, with a literal footnote 😂 I love this so much

#MOMENTS THAT MAKE ME EMOTIONAL. BAUL CALLING HIM BY NAME NOT CALLING HIM HUMAN. WEAK AT THE KNEES#i think ill only have time to draw these two pieces before i leave for the holidays so i want them to be a set. i think its fun#talked abt it on twt but artistically its SO fun that book 7 has the 'good guys' w the colors of the night. greens and purples and darks#and the 'bad guys' of the humans strike their queen down with a brilliant yellow light. the light IS the darkness is conceptually yummy#trying to lean into color choices and intentional comps lately. lilias piece reading L>R feels like the angle pushes down on him#here sebek faces with the eye's movement so its more positive. like hes climbing towards his beautiful bright future. ouughj#never before in fandom have i wanted to so clearly break down my own art choices like a historian but diasom does smth to my brain#twst#twisted wonderland#sebek zigvolt#baul zigvolt#ch 7 spoilers#suntails
