#im reading “Manufacturing Consent” by Noam Chompsky if anyone wants to join me #the book isn't even ABOUT this shit but I have to keep looking things up for more context #this is insane. My history classes stopped covering content after like... 1945 #and all the content they DID cover certainly left out a Lot Of Content!!!! It was all American-centric & focused on our Cold War Response #So. Yeah. I don't think I'm going to be the same after this actually

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #(these will be relevant in a moment)#this isn't going to happen. but WHAT IF.#anyway i didn't get him (damnit birdman come home) so i had to look up his story #and let me tell you friends my findings were SHOCKING #crowley canonically likes vegetables which means that the crowley is revaan theory = BUSTED #crowley is sailor venus = CONFIRMED #(i know 'whip of love' is a saying but that's where my mind always goes)#DISCLAIMER: this is (mostly) a joke please continue to hold whatever theories and headcanons you want #but look. c'mon. look over here at this whiteboard i've covered in red yarn.#revaan being a picky eater has come up multiple times and there is an entire whole bit about how much he hated jerky and refused to eat it #and now they've made a point of talking about how crowley will eat almost anything and loOoOoves wild game meat especially #it's SO stupid but i can't help but read way too much into it #(this is tumblr if you don't want to see incredibly stupid overanalysis of anime guys then why are you HERE)#and i gotta hold on to something because otherwise whenever malleus and crowley are onscreen together i just keep going 'same hair color...#unless this is like. some kind of deep cover thing.#lilia doesn't recognize him because he saw him eat a green bean once and revaan would NEVER #crowley's secret is safe for another day #(serious hat on: i do think they're probably connected in some way)#(but there's something deeper going on that we're just not clued into yet that will hopefully explain things)#man forget revaan what if crowley whips off his mask and it turns out he was meleanor this whole time #wait hold on meleanor loves jerky. IT ALL FITS...

So.

We went from this for Starclan Cats:

To.

This:

Biggest downgrade of my life.

#warriors #warrior cats #this is almost worse than the disney live action remakes to me #like. i used to stare and study wayne mcloughlin's art in the code of the clans book for ages before moving on to the actual story #it was so good and pretty #richardsons's...#i feel nothing except mild disappointment and concern for his well being from harpercollins #cuz uh.#what kind of time crunch does the wc team/divisionshave him /on/?????#like. the star patterns for reedwhisker are....okay and look like stars #but mistystar..... she looks like she got dunked in the lake first #or like she could be mistaken for ferncloud...cuz man....those are absolutely 100% not stars on her pelt #props to reedshisker for being the first cat in ??? book covers for having a different expression (even if it's a lil wonky) though #star's cover gets one point #a starless clan

#penance for posting fanart #painting #acrylic painting #eldritch angel #artists on tumblr #my art #illustration #i know my paintings look like other people's rough sketches but #actually there's no counter argument to that #they do #anyway i do like this though someone let me design book covers or posters like this (for money)#person who emailed me about doing a book cover but never responded to my reply if you’re out there

the patrician is just a guy to me

#havelock vetinari #discworld #doodles #before you ask why just know this #i actively avoid looking at any discworld art book covers included #i specifically buy those hardcovers with graphic design on the front #so any kind of a visual context doesnt exist for me except what my brain sees when im with the guy in the room as i read #so anyway Lord Vetinari is like an old suit and tie guy to me #he is proper arguably a minimalist calm collected and always two steps ahead #he is pushing 50 #doesnt even have to be fifty but I know this in my soul: to be like him you have to have seen life for many decades #his monologue at the end of GG is driving me craaayyyyzayyy #a man that wakes up and does a thing not for fulfilment but because. because its like one of the world truths or some shit #part of me would love to put him in a fancier suit but in men at arms he literally sits on a wooden chair next to the throne #hello?#in his little (huge) garden with his little (huge) stacks of paperwork #and he has a shitty terrier #what a guy #this granpapi is my chewtoy

Oh, Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered with blood!’

Fiver is my favorite character in Watership Down, he's just like me fr. I was afraid this wouldn't read especifically as Fiver, but alas... i liked my initial sketch a lot so i kept it as it was.

#my art #digital art #artists on tumblr #watership down #so just to make this absolutely clear.. this is fiver XD not an attempt of a book cover #even tho it looks so much like many watership down covers tbh #i didnt even realize until i was actually googling images for reference that i found a lot of wd covers have a rabbits profile and the fiel #what a bummer #but i still like this a lot #everyone and their moms thought about the same thing i guess #me included #anyway FIVER MY BOY #I LOVE HIM HES JUST LIKE ME #IDK WHY EXACTLY BUT I RELATE TO HIM SO MUCH #its like 'yeah i also have visions of chaos and death and despair its called having anxiety and depression'#ok no forget that

Theres something about big booktoker/booktuber shelves that really heebies my jeebies

#its the all new everything #the identical matching hardback covers #of books that every other bookwhatever has #its the long rows of illumicrate botm etc editions #wheres the old favourites? the books so loved through youve sellotaped the covers on #but still refuse to throw away?#wheres the ugly impulse purchase thrift finds that just sounded too intriguing to leave #wheres the mismatched series bc you couldnt wait to read the next book #wheres the hand me downs that you dont like that much but have so much sentimental value #your old childrens books? your textbooks bc you got really into a subject for no reason?#the library book you forgot to return 5 yeads ago and is just yours now oops #yknow. the books that make your shelf look like it belongs to a human #instead of something an ai spat out

graphic design study. tried to do my own thing while using all the same ideas from the original

#graphic design #art #looking at them like this mine is clearly worse in a few key areas #learned a lot doing this #will probably do more #i love the timescape inprint covers (and other SF books and zines from this period)#it's all very inspiring to me #EDIT: THERE'S A FUCKI G TYPO NOOOOOO

im forcing you all to look shady-car-salesman erik

[What If Magneto Had Formed The X-Men With Professor X?]

#snap chats #DUDE WHAT IS THAT. I SCREAMED #also before any of you go read this dont it's so nothing. the title LIED it's the most nothing story ive read so far #thankfully this is only a one shot but man. i shouldve listened in that This Is Isn't Worth It #this is literally the only time erik's in the whole thing too btw bar a prologue recapping what happens in the og timeline #im so deadass like he also shows up in some bg shots but thats literally it he says nothing else beyond this page #'what if magneto formed the xmen with charles' god yeah what if. i sure wouldve loved to read that.#'what if they formed the xmen' genuinely yeah how did they do that. can we see that PLEASE.#the only perceivable difference is that erik lives at the x mansion and Probably isnt terrorizing people. and has this god forsaken look #i rescind my statement he's terrorizing ME with that beard and. //gestures everywhere else//#he looks like he's going to try to scam me into buying a shitty ferrari i cant ill take the viking beard just not this #also i think gaby and erik are just. inexplicably married????? they never cover that ???? thats just a thing to vaguely acknowledge #they dont even say it there's a book that's credited as 'erik magnus lehnsherr' and 'gabrielle haller lensherr' like ok. what.#they dont even properly tell us why eriks here or like. how erik and charles find the xmen. or why gaby's here vjeALKJEK #LIKE COOL HI GABS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE she's a mutant now. forgot about that. ???????????????#the weird plot did distract me from. Whatever This Is but now im focusing on it again and im dying #i think what's really killing me is the earrings like oh my god. wow ok. wow...... terrible choice !#if i squint i can imagine the ponytail's gone from his side profile and it's a lil better but ...... jljalKjalJA #anyway i said id read every xmen comic and. regretting some choices but we ball #for now im gonna go wind down ... maybe doodle a bit who's to say ..

Sometimes I think about that book I read as a kid where the protagonist figured out the secret to human photosynthesis (by eating a ton of iron-rich food (like liver (which he hated))) thus turning himself into a plantsim & effectively solving world hunger But then the government shut him down because if nobody needed to eat food anymore the economy would utterly collapse and. there’s no point to this post. sometimes I just Think About It

#just me rambling #I don’t remember the title #but I DO remember the cover was bright yellow with a sort of caution-tape-vibe #and looked like it’d been stamped with. like. ‘TOP SECRET’ or ‘CLASSIFIED’ or something #which may or may not have actually Been the title but heck if I know #I read that book exactly Once #and it was well over a decade ago #so honestly who’s to say

Books of 2024: THE AMBERGRIS TRILOGY by Jeff VanderMeer.

Up next! This series is how I'm bridging my current writing/revision project with the one on deck for my personal nano. They're both Weird Stories, but the one I'm working on now is Weird (genre), like VanderMeer, and the one I'm planning for November is going to be Weird (fungus), also like VanderMeer. I hope to get Driscoll vibes AND some New Book vibes out of this!

#books of 2024 #book photo #book photography #jeff vandermeer #ambergris #city of saints and madmen #shriek: an afterword #finch #also these are deceptively small books #they look Slender but the shortest one is almost 400 pages lmfao #(the big one is not cumulatively numbered but IT is SEVEN HUNDRED AND FOUR PAGES!!!)#sir wtf #i suspect CITY will be vaguely ALWAYS COMING HOME #(weird to read and brainbendy and dense)#(since it's also lots of little pieces put together)#anyway i've been hanging onto this because vandermeer = driscoll vibes to me #and then i realized i wanted to do weird fungus for nano too so i'm like. ah. perfect. we'll use this for bridge material.#and then i have SO MANY HAUNTED HOUSE STORIES TO READ >:D #i am very fond of these covers #and they're a good size of paperback #i'm considering springing for the new southern reach paperbacks because i only have the collected hardback and that's not hand-friendly

A small headcanon that despite his forced courtship of Lettie, Howl had no idea how people around him characterized the Hatter sisters, and so when someone said something about "the pretty sister" he was CERTAIN they were talking about Sophie

#he's gonna be like WDYM my absolutely fabulous wife I can't stand sometimes and also am pretty annoyed half of the time BUT STILL FABULOUS #IS NOT THE PRETTY ONE???#and NOT the smart one as well #like no guys change your naming system or I don't believe you #HAVE YOU EVER _SEE_ HER???#(they did)#(half of the time either angry #focused or covered in mud depending on time and circumstances #(Howl thinks this is the hottest image possible like IDK guys I know Lettie is pretty but loOK AT SOPHIE LOOK)#he's like hear me out #you're all wrong #howl's moving castle book #hmc book #howl's moving castle #sophie hatter #howl pendragon #howell jenkins
