Books of 2023. BABEL, OR THE NECESSITY OF VIOLENCE: AN ARCANE HISTORY OF THE OXFORD TRANSLATORS' REVOLUTION by R. F. Kuang.

First off, what a title! Included here in its full glory because I didn't realize it was that long, but I delight in academic titles when played for poking fun especially.

I've been reading about a chapter of this a night, so far, and I'm enjoying it! It's much more approachable than I was afraid it would be, given the comp to Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell--this one is a doorstop, but it's a very readable doorstop! I'm excited to see where it goes.

#books of 2023 #books #book photography #babel #r. f. kuang #r f kuang #babel: an arcane history #forreal though it's. much less intimidating than i thought it would be lol #like yes difficult to physically hold in bed (i have hardback) but. so far not a challenging read?#i was expecting it to be more challenging #also i perused reviews and a lot of people say 'heavy-handed' but i think actually it's more. just. blunt?#like 'not subtle' is my initial reaction #revised to 'blunt'#i mean even on the level of 'oh yeah i saw that coming' not subtle/blunt #so far it's not. tricky.#i am enjoying it!!#i'm excited to see about the magic!!#and the social commentary is interesting and necessary.#but if you've been avoiding it because you're intimidated by it. maybe don't be lol

you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.

#i am saying this to myself because i havent been able to watch them yet #and i need to remember the core values of dr who before i watch it #i REFUSE to be one of those people that cant enjoy it because its changed #or because its too rubbish #as if thats stopped me loving 90% of the rest of dw #doctor who #fifteenth doctor #ncuti gatwa #space babies #dr who #dw #🌌#squids bullshit

Best thing about Doctor Who, and I mean this so genuinely, is the way it goes from ‘haunting Celtic folk mystery about death and penitence’ to ‘what if your group chat banter was so dire that your phone developed sentience and tried to kill you’

#doctor who #dw #but in seriousness i really liked the ending of this one - very effectively unpleasant #also thought it was very funny that last week they tried to convince us that a 19 year old was 40 simply by giving her unflattering glasses #am enjoying this series :)#73 yards #dot and bubble

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.

#sparks art #comic #angel #robot #my art #my comics #keeper: the angel #keeper: the lighthouse keeper #my ocs #hoogh. this was a grind yall lmao. but i am pleased with it #i hope you enjoy :pray: also keep your fingers crossed for me that this wins the contest #like it. it wont. because i am up against actual SEQA kids that know what theyre doing. and i dont actually mind really #but it would be funny #long post #very long post #sorry #i hope the readmore works

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

#also if it wasnt clear this isnt ‘its bad its lazy’ there is a level of like #completion consistancy i am thinking for with this #personally i really do not enjoy the like. vintage chic long red nails fur coats noir esque aesthetic HOWEVER 💥💥💥#i can recognize that it is put together it is Intentional #i feel like a lot of people are going to say minimalism on this so LET ME SAY 🫰☝️ i recognize that minimalism is Considered an aesthetic #but i *PERSONALLY* do not consider it an aesthetic i consider it the void of one #it is a lapse in aesthetic or personality in the same way a silence in a song is still technically a ‘beat’ but no music is played #however the importance of Space or Breath in design is more akin to a purposeful silence in music #because that silence matters in the same way rhythm and breath in design do #so i guess minimalism is more comparable to like. white noise. the sound of a fan #very little effort and there is a comfort in it i suppose but its not. A Design. okay #TO ME 🤫#if minimalism has one hater its me if minimalism has no haters im dead

typical tavern scene

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhjy #fabian seacaster #riz gukgak #adaine abernant #kristen applebees #figueroth faeth #gorgug thistlespring #got my version of this in lol. I feel like this is mandatory if u draw fh art #trying to remember whats on the menu at a typical swensen's. its been years since I last was at one #tho I am so absolutely unfamiliar with like elmville level of town scenery. just immediately drew from my own experience lmao #I used to think malls are the same everywhere.... but then I hear from my US friends and. wow they sure are not #mm. good day to reminisce a little bit. but I am now sleepy #not a lot to say abt this I think most of this is pretty straightforward. I did use this to test out some overlays in SAI2 #that I never really touched. the talisman on fig's guitar case takes from the house protection talisman you'd put on the front door #and also I think kristen slipping while fully sat down is very funny and special. she means so much to me #okay. alright. I should really go to sleep. and tomorrow I should take my dang walk... see the sun #have a good night lads! enjoy ice cream

I am such a big Werewolf Stan advocate I had to jump on this particular train 🙏 (but I didn't really wanna commit to full line art, you guys understand)

Oh, and you guys aren't gonna believe this, but here's part two 🙌
