favourite real life outlaw?

OOOOH this is a good one.

I’d have to say, Billy the Kid always interested me.

He died at the age of 21 in New Mexico? I believe.. I’ll edit this if I find out I’m wrong..

Anyways, I like how there’s a lot of speculation on what his real name was, and how he escaped from prison when he was on trial to be hanged is pretty crazy to do.

Billy the kid also inspired my Xbox tag name: “Ruby the kid” because I think he’s so cool

I also always liked Harry Allen. He was a trans masculine cowboy from the 1890s-1900s. He a very skilled burglar, and killer, and he was known for starting bar fights.

His mother was the definition of trans ally as well. She often defended him and testified for him in court, as well as made sure people addressed him as a man like he wanted.

And as a transgender man, he’s really awesome to me.

Golden Gloria. All my creatures this week have some gold coloring on them, and two of them have an Art Deco look. I guess I’m in some kind of mood. ✨

I'm not digging through thousands of notes to see if these rec's have already been rec'd but I can think of two fantasy stories where this comes up pretty regularly

The acclaimed Hugo-winning fantasy novel Curse of Chalion....

(Oh! They finally made a better cover for it! That's awesome)

... and the webcomic Guilded Age

Both well worth searching out, not JUST because they are examples of ghosts helping out the good guys, but just in general too, lol

Why don’t I hear more about undead beings coming back to warn people? It’s always zombies wanting to drag people down to join them in the grave, ghosts seeking vengeance, spirits trying to chase people out of their domains - but if you died horribly and were left rattling around some spooky mansion for eternity, wouldn’t you want to stop people from blundering into the same death you had?

You feel a cold breath on your neck as you get in the car. It won’t leave until you fasten your seatbelt. An unseen force catches your foot as you pass the fourth step every time you walk up the stairs. During a renovation, you find out the wood is rotten. You can never find a pack of cigarettes - even ones guests bring disappear from their pockets and are found weeks later on the lawn, empty. Your daughter is giggling and laughing at something unseen, chasing after it away from the cliffside on your family hike. You don’t know why, but you feel compelled to leave a spare hairband and some stickers on a picnic table as you leave the park. Tribute? A thank you? The items are gone by next time you visit, and you swear a happy child’s hum follows you home on the breeze.

…More preventative hauntings. It just makes sense.

who is your favorite character to draw?

i've been asked this twice but then i responded with ocs so now it's.... fandom characters? does guilded age have a fandom? does Faans? i never post about either seeing as they're semi-obscure webcomics from the 90s/2000s...

shanna cochrane is the greatest funnest to draw character. she's so damn shaped... no one knows who she is.... i suffer alone
