ive drawn over 100,000 fish and i’d like to know if anyone beats that.

self indulgent idea but i think it would be fun if ao3 allowed authors to pin one (1) of their works so it shows up in front of everything else no matter when it was posted/updated. as a treat.

So we know that in the novel that ludger cherish is compared to a raven, he has that whole dark aesthetic going on, and not to mention one of his identities uses a plague doctor mask which is very “raven” looking (idk if that one’s a stretch or not). But he also is highly intelligent, and mimicry- something that ravens are known for- is something he does with ease. (also fun fact that I didn’t know until comparing the two, ravens uses ‘non-verbal’ or ‘hand gestures’ to communicate, and in the manwa you can clearly see that ludger cherish often uses his hands when speaking. And I thought that was funny.)

so what if he also liked collecting shiny things like ravens as well? We already know he can easily be swayed by money yeah? So my personal head cannon, Heathcliff/ludger cherish, loves to collect shiny things. That shiny Little Rock (his), that shiny thing that came out of Quasimodo (snatched), that cute little hair pin (finders keepers). But not just shiny things, things like books as well. That small notebook sized dictionary (might as well), that thick book that’s really far too inconvenient to lug around? (Who’s gonna stop him? Casey? She’s currently helping him.)

Intimidate the public. Assert yourself.

following up on the "author signatures" thing, i am fond of how often you have people laughing until they fall over!

Ooh, I hadn't realized I did that so often!

[volivolition]

heyheyheyheyhey. Voli. Plz make Authroity propaganda too I want him to win

hi! so uh. i don't have a solid design for Authority yet (besides "oh buddy you would not survive the ides of march, huh?") and also i love Esprit (skill of community and connections to like-minded people... camaraderie! being part of a group! my friend) and also this is not the main poll im focusing on at the moment [INTENSE ADHD CREATURE STARING AT VOLITION] but hell yeah, im down to make little a silly thing for them!! as a treat <3

^ yay!! go vote for guys who i don't have solid designs for~!! [tinny yippee sound effect]

WHITE CHECK: CONCEPTUALIZATION [IMPOSSIBLE] - Draw convincing Authority propaganda. +1 Love drawing the skills -1 Haven't slept yet -1 Haven't designed him yet -1 Haven't written his Character Study Chapter yet -2 Past attempts looked like UnderfelI Papyrus... -2 Rooting for Esprit?? -3 ROOTING FOR SHIVERS -5 Hyperfocus trained on Volition -5 AND VOLITION IS LOSING 😭

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Impossible: Failure] - What do you mean failure? No, it's simple, watch how naturally it comes to you. Just take the psyche purple, shade in the dark eye sockets, touches of glowing white pupils, a stern expression, awful eyebags, just darken the center of the face as a whole, add the… broken… crown...

CONCEPTUALIZATION - OH GODDAMMIT, that's just Crownhead again. This has Implications for your personal fanfic universal canon lore that you are unsure how to contend with right now. Sorry, your creativity has officially clocked out. A doodle will have to suffice.

i am losing my goddamn mind. i spent all of saturday (i had twelve fucking hours of screentime because of this) (today is monday) reading this wonderful fanfic that i could not turn my eyes away from. it changed my life, it's truly one of the best things i have ever had the privilege of reading. i wasn't finished yet though, so i just laid down in my bed to continue only to find it literally disappearing as i was reading it. it doesn't say it's deleted, just that it's a "mystery work", however, when you click on the author's page it says that they don't have any works at all.

i literally felt my entire body go numb and i am still shaking as i type this. i know fanfic authors do not owe us anything, especially since they share their talents out of the goodness of their hearts. but this has just completely shaken me. i had the best time of my life reading this story, i genuinely cannot even put into words just how much i loved it and how much it meant to me. and it's fucking gone, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

the story is called Signatures of all Things by nadyenka. if anybody knows anything about what could have possibly happened, please please please let me know.

Martha Wells and John Scalzi at Joseph-Beth Booksellers!!

Y’all GUESS WHO I GOT TO SEE!!! In real life!! With my own two eyeballs!!!

It was an absolutely delightful chat (I took two pages of notes! scribbled in All My Margins!), very cozy, AND neither of them had signing limits! I love hearing authors talk about their Authorial Woes and Process Quirks, because it’s always hugely validating and just neat to hear.

do you guys ever sit and remember that dennis takes a mental health day is an episode that exists

[cerealandchoccymilk]

*Thank you to the author for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review*

✩ 🏒⛸️Review:

Diviak’s sports romance balances deep, emotional topics with heart fluttering moments. 

“The Signature Move” follows Logan Beckett and Averie “Ava” Laurier, two athletes who are forced to share a rink. Both are determined to ignore each other, but Waybrook isn’t a big enough town to stop their paths from colliding. When the captain of the Waybrook Winter Wolves hockey team and the world champion skater clash, it’s only a matter of time before anger harbored over divvied rink time melts into passion. 

This book has everything I love in a romance: dual pov, rivals to lovers, small town, and slow romantic development. When I say this is a slow burn, it is a slowwww burn. The beginning took a little bit to pick up, but once Logan and Ava finally gave in to their attraction, I could not get enough of their dynamic as a couple. They are characterized so differently with Ava being the sweetest, sunshine girl and Logan being more guarded and stoic. Their opposite personalities compliment each other and make their rivals-to-lovers romance more satisfying. 

I really appreciated the emphasis on found family in this book. Both characters experience abuse at the hand of a parent that causes anxiety and in Ava’s case, an eating disorder. Throughout the novel, Logan and Ava build a family of their own with each other and the friends/coaches/teammates they forge meaningful connections with in their close knit town. One qualm I had with this book is that not all the side characters are fleshed out—therefore I wasn’t as invested in them and their own plot lines—but I did like the roles they played in Logan and Ava’s story.
