When the horrors of the day overwhelm you, scream to the gods. They probably won’t answer, but it’s nice to get the stress out.

Could I get a moodboard of my lil shadow creature oc?? It’s similar to the beast from OTGW but not animal like. It has wings and clawed hands, a tufted tail like a lion, the face of a wolf, and antlers! It’s very playful and mischievous and loves bugs like moths, beetles, and mantises. Sorta void/faepunk vibes

yes yeah!! sorry this one took a hot min. very cool concept though i love these kinds of imgs

Any inspiration from Artemis Fowl series? Think you might’ve mentioned it once in an author’s note! I used to be obsessed with those books and there is a hilarious resemblance between the dry haughty plumminess of your Draco and Artemis XD. As a side note I am absolutely obsessed with your writing. Lionheart is one of my favourite fics ever. You are so incredibly talented and have such a unique and witty writing style - I feel so excited when it’s Friday!

Thank you very much!

I have read Artemis Fowl, albeit a very long time ago, when I was a kid. The first book is an actually brilliant piece of middle-grade fiction, and it's got the knockout pitch of "fairy heist story," whereas I was sold at "heist." Plus, the faepunk underground version of fairyland is objectively cool as hell, and I sort of wish it got a TV show so a younger set could be introduced to it.

Artemis and Draco share strains of the same haughty, bratty intelligence, and I think the focus on their mothers is another resemblance. "Last scion of a house known for its questionable behavior" doesn't hurt. I think Artemis, being a genius, is a more active and manipulative than Draco — Draco is never getting a gold star for integrity, but he's not going to take hostages and going out of his way to manipulate people. Probably not because of any moral objection, either! It's just usually not the most efficient way to get what he wants.

I just dreamed the newest Tumblr meme was posting pictures of baroque art with your estimation of how long it would take you to destroy said piece of art, frequently along with very aggressive assertions that your guess was exactly right down to the second...what the fuck, sleeping me?

Psst. Do you like white mochas? Do you not want to give Starbucks money right now because they're a bunch of union busting assholes? 'Cause I got something special just for you.

I have reverse engineered the ingredient list I remember off their white mocha bottles from when I worked there, and made it about ten times better, and it is mad easy to make at home.

YOU'RE GONNA WANT:

A bar of good quality white chocolate; Ghirardelli's baking bars are fantastic for this. Look for something that's mostly cocoa butter.

About 3-4 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk

About a tablespoon of heavy cream

About a tablespoon of boiling water

A dash of salt

Break the white chocolate up and put it into a small microwave-safe container. Microwave it on high for 30 second intervals, stirring between each one, until it's good and melted.

Drop 3 or 4 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk in there. It's not an exact measurement because let's be honest, that stuff's hard to measure.

Start mixing.

It will immediately seize into a solid mass and you'll think I'm fucking with you after all. This is normal. Chocolate is an incredibly weird emulsion and this is just how the chocolate do when it sees a water molecule! Stir until it's at least a uniform solid mass, and then add a tablespoon of boiling water. The hotter the better.

After a little bit it'll unseize and abruptly turn smooth again. If it doesn't, hit it with another teaspoon of boiling water and it will.

Add that tablespoon of heavy cream and mix in. You can even make it two tablespoons if you want. I'm not the boss of you.

Add a dash of salt to taste. I'm a two-dash kinda person myself, because it counters how much sugar is in it. Which is a lot.

And boom. That's it. You now have white mocha sauce comparable to any coffee chain's brand except actually it's way better. Store it covered in the fridge, it'll keep a while but it's probably best to use it within the week since it's got fresh dairy ingredients.

Can it be made vegan? Probably but you'd have to find white chocolate with no dairy additives to start with, and then sweetened condensed non-dairy milk if that exists, and probably use coconut cream, and I dunno I haven't tried at all so you're on your own for that if you want to experiment.

Anyway, enjoy your white mocha sauce, fuck Starbucks, union strong. ✊🏻

Feminist spaces are currently pretty hostile to men, particularly those who want to talk about what they face under patriarchy, and who want to participate without being pressured to self-flagellate or allow themselves to be a target for other people's unrelated frustrations.

Oh, there it is. There's why I hate it so much when someone's like "all men are dogs" or whatever right to my face, and even more angry when they say, "shut up and don't argue with me because you should know I don't mean you, but you're being part of the problem now."

If they so obviously don't mean to include me, are they saying then that I'm not a man? I'll fucking fight. And it is NEVER, EVER "part of the problem" for a trans person to deny someone the ability to talk shit about them on the basis of their gender.

It's not my job to be a punching bag for shit I didn't do. There's certainly things I'll accept that I've been complicit in, even if it was through ignorance. That, however, is not one of them.

(Emphasis mine, text from a post by nothorses that I didn't want to hijack just to make a personal point on.)

Dirt on your hands is literally the best feeling. I'm writing this to you with dirt covered hands, if this were a letter there would be a lot of smudges

Imagine wanting to be a mysterious forest creature that lurks in the woods of your town, but you literally NEVER go outside

Because that is absolutely me.

[id: an example image of a smart crutch showing the coil shop absorbers, the full crutch on both sides, and the design in the center. the art, which is on the crutch's forearms, is of light creme glowing mushrooms growing from green moss, with tiny glowing fairy figures floating around. end id.]

The beautiful thing about nature is that it doesn’t need to fit into any structure or stereotype. It’s punk and it’s magic and it’s creepy and it’s wholesome and it’s small and big and it’s beautiful no matter what and that’s what I like to think it is all about

It's tdov, have a picture of the weird stuff we wear everyday. If we're not wearing it, it's not us. Approach with caution and like, let a dude know.

Happy Trans day of Visibility! They/them
