I'm curious what do you think Kianna's yandere type is?

I'm not really knowledgeable about most types of yandere (usually im not into it), so forgive me if I'm wrong.

I feel like Kianna would be a mix of different types tbh.. kind of laid back because she does allow her partner to go out with their friends, family and all, and their relationship would look pretty normal all things considered, (though she definitely has blackmail material or smth she'd hold over her s/o's head for them to be mostly complacent), but I don't think she'd be afraid of a little force.

oh, her partner's threatening to leave, tell people about what's really happening behind the scenes? she'll only remind them, quite calmly, might I add, that first of all; nobody would believe them at all, if only for the reason they were so attached at the hip, and her partner's only spoken good things about her during their very brief friendship. and it wouldn’t add up at all now, would it? everyone would think her s/o would be exaggerating, no? and it would be passed off as a simple lover's quarrel, so what's really the point of trying when they’re never gonna get away from her??

and second of all- well, is her darling forgetting what she has over them? she could oh so very easily ruin her s/o's life and isolate them for everyone else just like that, and let's not forget the rest of their family...

she was pretty prone to stalking her beloved before their relationship, too- small things that they wouldn't really notice, like a key chain they'd thought they misplaced, or a worn out jacket or even some socks, perfume. anything that she can get hands on.

and so all of this is to sum up the fact that her darling is never getting out of her grip. and why would they even want to? kianna's manipulating them into believing the fact that only she can love them, only she can take care of them as much as she does.

(though, a bird trapped inside a golden cage is still trapped in the end.)

50? Gum and Gale?

>A kiss, followed by more that trail down the jaw and neck.

So close. He'd been sitting at his desk for hours now, alchemy bottles scattered around with no seeming rhyme or reason to their lack of organization. Tara had left sometime before the sun had set, mentioning something about how he should visit his mother.

Tongue peaking out, Gale carefully guided a mage hand holding the last needed ingredient for his most recent project.

"Gale?"

Startled, concentration broken, the transparent hand disarray causing the ingredient bottle to fall in full into the mixing pot. What was once a pink liquid now turned gray, bubbling and smoking a girly before erupting into smoke.

Jumping from his hair, Gale coughed as he tried to fan the smoke away to see the damage. Exhaling at the failed fruits of his labor, he casts a weary smile at his husband.

"Y-yes, Gum?"

"Is now a bad time?" Sheepish, the lanky gith took a step back from the doorframe. He hadn't meant to make all of Gale's efforts go up in smoke.

"No," Exhaustion betrayed in his tone, but the wizard meant it. It wasn't fair to blame Gum, it wasn't intentional. "How long have I been up here anyways?"

"Uhhh," Gum looked out one of the windows, being met by his own reflection. "Well, I came up here to say goodnight. You were busy before I got back from volunteering."

Rolling the guilt off his shoulders, Gale quickly passed through the doorframe to embrace his patient spouse. "I didn't even make you dinner, I'm so sorry."

"I made due, I just wanted to say goodnight before retiring was all." Long green arms pulled Gale in close, kissing past messy locks up top Gale's head.

Looking up at the other, Gale drank in the soft topaz of Gum's eyes. Pupils headed like a lizard, far more narrow than his own, and even more so than Tara's. Oh how Gale loved to use his thumb to rub over the raised skin of Gum's facial spots, finding comfort in their raised edges. Holding the gaze just a moment too long, Gale's chest clenched before kissing Gum gently.

Instantly Gum felt himself relax, closing his eyes and letting his body curl inwards to meet Gale half way. The scratch of Gale's beard a comfortable and welcome sensation as he broke away to nuzzle into the others cheek. Thinking it was only a chaste kiss in parting, Gale took him off guard as he pulled the githyanki back in, nipping lightly at Gum's jaw.

One clawed hand came to card through Gale's greying locks, leaning back against the wall of the hallway to give Gale leverage despite their height difference. Taking full advantage of Gum's charity, Gale moved lower to nip and kiss over every raised spot on Gum's neck. Each raised bump got its own press of lips, a chance of dull teeth to its surface as Gale showed his adoration wordlessly.

Trilling with appreciation, Gum went to let his eyes slip close when a flash caught his attention. Gale's forgotten alchemy pot had bubbled over, smoking and crackling angrily from the over abundance of the entire bottle being dropped inside.

"G-gale!?" Gum coughed, startled, squirming in the others grip. "Not that I don't appreciate what you're doing- but- your pot!"

Confused, Gale pulled away to look where Gum was indicating and immediately his eyes went wide. Making several panicked noises, Gale began rushed over and began dumping copious amounts of salt into the pot. Once the solution had become neutralized, Gale sheepishly looked over shoulder at his startled husband. "I'll... I'll get this cleaned up and meet you."

"Sounds good."

hello!! i absolutely adore your webcomic, its so funny, well written and also visually just stunning! i was wondering, how did you come up with the idea for datm?

hey THANK YOU!! So glad you like it!

I was originally inspired by the concept of a necromancer whos whole visual imagery and motifs were about vanitas still lives, like the flemish 1800s ones:

I love those paintings

And TBH I was thinking about this in 2015. My first thought was... a homestuck AU. My second thought was... god I have so many honmestuck AUs. I should make my own stupid characters.

Then I did! I used them as dolls for a couple years (there are some really old comics of them) and then decided I wanted a long comic project and wrote them a real story.

That really is how it went - the story writing was based on a bunch of loose character threads I had that I wove together into a narrative. I don't recommend writing stories like that, but it worked for me eventually!

Okay I definitely have to know what is Baby!EllieAu and shaking and shivering👀

hi! I answered baby!Ellie AU here!

shaking and shivering is a pretty new one and it's off my BTHB card that came about from a riffing session with some friends! it's so new that I don't have any snips to share but the premise is an alternate version of events at Silver Lake that ends up with Ellie and Joel separated and Ellie thinking Joel is dead. Ellie heads back to Jackson to tell Tommy what happened and get directions to SLC, Joel heads back to Jackson cause he knows that's where Ellie would go.

lots of angst, lots of trudging through the snow while injured, so lots of shaking and shivering lol

thank you for playing the game

will we ever get a moment where Caleb the Resident Idiot surprises everyone with his knowledge on anatomy

I’ve honestly thought about this a lot. Hilariously, I think there's a line in one chapter where Caleb is trying to explain some stretches to Ashley, and she literally doesn't pay attention. Because it makes sense and he also probably sounds a bit preachy. 

The problem with Caleb's knowledge of anatomy is that it intrinsically fits with his aesthetic as a gym rat. Looking at him and then having him come up to you while you complain about a chronic tightness in your shoulder and having him detail exactly what nerves might be pinched or muscles might be weak and how to strengthen them wouldn't clock as too strange. It doesn’t matter how dumb he is otherwise, so long as the area of expertise fits the appearance, it won’t make you bat an eye. Same thing for his particular dietary know-how as I’ve never met a gym dude who wasn’t also an amateur dietician. 

Now, having him instruct you on how best to clean stains off a carbon steel skillet or get wine out carpet or what kind of washing machine works best for your household or talk about what he’s learned about knitting cause he went down a rabbit hole to buy yarn for someone and can hold a conversation about it, that would strike you as weird. Why the fuck does a guy like that know anything about chemical reactions or household appliances or stitches? He’s an upper middle class beefcake; you’re telling me he cleans? And understands the science behind it????

Impossible. Not real. He’s faking it for attention or to get his pebis touched.

(at least that’s how I look at it, anyways :D)

do you sell prints and would you sell a print of your latest vax piece? 👀

I sell prints periodically through my Etsy but only every couple of months for my own sanity haha. It’s closed right now (I just did a run last month) but I always announce when it opens again, and you can bookmark it HERE. Vax will be there when I open it again!

Emergency: Help save my children's lives

Dear humanity,

I am Habib from Gaza. I am married and have four children: Menna, 12 years old, Adam, 10 years old (suffering from quadriplegia), Maria, 6 years old, and Ezz, one year old. Although they are young, they have survived previous wars, but this current war is the most difficult of all. This is a war of genocide, and the difficulty of the war lies in the inability to meet the needs of my son Adam, who needs special care.

Over the past ten months, we have been caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Our once peaceful home in Khan Yunis has been reduced to rubble, and now we find ourselves displaced in Deir al-Balah, living in squalid conditions in a makeshift tent on the streets. The devastation not only deprived us of our physical shelter, but also destroyed my livelihood - the once thriving business that supported our family's well-being, is now in ruins. The daily struggle for survival is exacerbated by the scarcity of basic necessities such as clean water, adequate sanitation and basic medical supplies

Our home was the place where we found hope and safety, and where we made precious memories. Losing him was like losing years of our lives.

Not only that, they destroyed my source of livelihood, burned it, and demolished it with bulldozers, and today I am without a home and without a job. I was working in a store I owned that met the needs and expenses of my family

Living in tents is miserable. There is a lack of drinking water, hot sun rays, and strange insects that have terrified my children. What hurts me most is my young son Ezz, who I see growing up in an unclean environment and with no healthy food for him. I believe he has not received his right to life.

At this stage, my husband and I decided to go to you and create an account on the Go Fund Me website and ask you to help us in these difficult times until we get out of Gaza, from the land of war to the land of peace. All we need from you is to support us and help us to get out of the war, even if you cannot help. You should spread the word. This campaign is everywhere and among your friends. We thank you for your stance and support for us. Thank you, my friends

The amount that will be collected from this campaign :

We will spend it by paying the amount to coordinate entry through the Rafah land crossing, which connects Gaza to the State of Egypt, since, as I mentioned, they charge an adult $5,000, but depending on the pressures, crises, and waiting, the amount may reach $7,000 per person, and children $2,500 to $4,000.

We will also use it for the rest of the travel and safe transportation expenses to provide for all family members.

A video of my children's lives living the war

May God reward you with all the best and may God bless you

Best wishes with sincere gratitude,

Habib's family

Since the Canada griffin was proudly mentioned recently I figure it can’t hurt to ask if you do happen to have plans to design Canada griffin goslings at some point in the future? (muse permitting)

I DO NOW.

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).

did bo fu ever have any friends before being stuck in the celestial realm? or no?

Oh he had a bunch! Not really outside of the Monkeys, but he ended up befriending a lot of the deer.

It really just depends if you can call your friends family and your family friends :>

[itsnotreal]

if you had to chose a reality show to be a contestant on, which one would chose and why?

The first one that comes to mind is The Amazing Race but only because my mom said she wants us to go on it😅
