I'm only about a quarter of the way through A Bachelor's Comedy, but it's already proving worthwhile just for the running joke where a misunderstanding has caused the village to think their new young vicar has a cartoonishly humongous appetite, but no one tells him about it, so he has no clue why everyone is giving him enormous servings of food.

#a bachelor's comedy by j.e. buckrose #it's a very fun book #i love its flavor of comedy #but for some reason i can only read it a few pages at a time so it's slow going #i have a feeling it's a book that will be better on reread #i'll have all the names straight and my imagination will fill in the lack of description #so i'll be better able to sink in and enjoy the ride #the main character is a delightful boy #and i like how it (so far) manages to be a comedy about a clergyman without making fun of religion #he's a sweet boy who's trying his best and just has to deal with the silly foibles of daily life #so much of this is so relatable even a century later and an ocean away

I love this book to death, so here's some things I noticed <3

#hyde being short is quite possibly my favourite thing ever #this isnt me jabbing at the takes that stray from the book #just btw XD #i think thats a big reason why i love it so much is that theres a WEALTH of inspiration that can be taken from the jekyll and hyde trope #theres so much out there i love #that being said #ive been buzzing about jekyll n Hyde recently because of this game that blindsided me with a jekyll n hyde trope #its always fun seeing it out in the wild #as seldom as that is LMAO #if anyones curious though its called vampire therapist and its a character named dr drayne #very cute and very fun game 💕💕#jekyll and hyde #the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde #dr jekyll #mr Hyde #also talking about blindsided by gothic lit blorbos #saw an animated Jekyll and hyde movie at the DOLLARSTORE for 5 smackaroos #easiest 5bucks i ever spent #literally the funniest shiy ive ever seen highly recommend watching it pals #its also on youtube for free and its in that so bad its good category for me

I hope you take this as the compliment it is intended to be, but you strike the same chord of irreverence-as-love, jokes-to-showcase-sencerity that I get from Chuck Tingle, and I adore both of you.

You have bestowed the greatest honour upon me.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangij #wei wuxian #digital art #ask #Thank you very much; I do take it as the compliment you intended it to be B*)#Mr. Tingle is a legend in both grindset and vibes. To be even 0.1% striking a similar chord is an aspiration of mine.#I also want to honour the effort I put into this parody book cover. Which was a *lot* more than one would think.#Covers were analyzed. I did research and took notes. I learned how to download fonts. 4 different programs were used.#This file is also poster sized (A4 dimensions)! I thought It would make the joke funnier for some reason.#Chuck Tingle's style is very iconic and fun to replicate. Despite the time intensive labour - I had a blast making this!#I admit to skimming most of the chapter this is based off of just to fact check a few details but boy did I learn things.#Wei Wuxian canonically has CAKE. Tiny waist and a fat ass.#I took several more notes but I will warn you now that I can't *not* find smut writing to be very funny.#This was pure chaos. Unbridled chaos. WWX really did shove a sword up his ass to bully dream-LWJ.#The need to be a little shit trumps saftey I guess.#There is a 99.9% chance I will not cover the extras so this is likely all the fans of those chapters will get from PD-MDZS.

thinkging about chaos demon god things

#f&c didnt give golbetty any worthwhile characterization #but i think theres lots of fun directions to go with her #and we should always consider the possibility that shes super super evil #she was already very fucked up and pretty evil. she could be super duper fucked up & evil. if we beleive in her :]#i cant beelive i drew art of golbetty with bill b4 golbetty with discord from the horse show. sorry.#comparing her to discord has a lot more basis in canon - oopsie !#my art #fan art #gravity falls #bill cipher #adventure time #golbetty #golb #betty grof #ive been seeing sm about the book of bill & i rlly wanna read it #so thats why i drew these. thinking abt billed cipher #1k #yay!!

Mentopolis hits my deep need for TROPES!

Huge inspiration from book covers from "The Case Files of Daniel Thorne"

#d20 #dimension 20 #mentopolis #dimension 20 fanart #hunch curio #imelda pulse #conrad schintz #daniel fucks #anastasia tension #the fix #my art #A VERY fun exercise #if I had more time I would definitely try to tackle the painterly style from noir book covers

everyone loves talking about little jon in correlation to mr. spider but no one ever talks about how insufferable this kid was. i wouldn’t wish sitting next to him in class upon my worst enemy

#if i had to do a group project with him i’d be so annoyed but at least he gets his work done #hc that he’s always read his books out loud like he does with statements btw. he stopped around middle school—#— when enough people called him annoying for it #he definitely had a bowl cut until he was like 6. he looks like the type. and then THIS is what he upgraded to #real talk i love making fun of him as much as the next guy but he’s soooo relatable unfortunately #he’s just a little boy in an unending pursuit of knowledge. he’s new to the world and all he wants is to know how it all works.#and even at this age a part of him knows he’ll never be able to satiate that curiosity #or something. anyways he would love reciting fun facts to strangers (no one else finds them very fun)#the magnus archives #tma #tma fanart #magpod #the magnus archives fanart #tma art #jonathan sims #the archivist tma #jarchivist #jon sims #jon tma #jonathan sims fanart #tma jon #jonathan sims art #artists on tumblr

i still can't believe there are folks who say "well GTN is annoying but you just have to get through it and then the other books aren't like that so you'll be fine."

personally i have been chasing the high of GTN ever since i first closed the book

#yes i love HTN but to me it was a slog! honestly pacing is not strong in any of these books #they're chock-full of reread value but unless you are looking deeper like that tbh not much happens plot-wise in each book #and HTN is the worst culprit because you get basically harrow just being miserable on the mithraeum for four acts #interspersed with chapters that are a different version of something you already read #the way i love each book is very different but GTN was FUN #you know??#i miss it #(i miss her. gideon my dumb baby come back to me)#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #nonasbirthday

#im like three halo books in while i finish reach. i really like cortana and the chiefs relationship in them #like in the games and in the books is he very stoic? Yes. And he doesnt talk much/has a few badass lines. its great #but you can tell hes kind of ever so slightly a jokester in some of the halo cutscenes and hes obviously capable of close friendships #Like in the books. So what im trying to say is the chief would definitely be down to take a cute pic w cortana bc she wanted to.#halo #loneart #master chief #cortana #i guess this would be…#halo 3 #? who carez. have fun.

Curtwen Week Day 4: Haunted

#fuck yall I really wasn’t sure about this last night but looking at it now I think it’s grown on me #I tried going for a 1960s comic book look #because I really like the vibes of old comics #they’re very cool #honestly this came out very different from what I had planned originally #but then I had this idea and ran with it #also I made the executive decision of doing long hair Curt because A) It’s my drawing and I can do what I want and B) I love the idea that #curt had the long hair like in SAD post fall #whoever originally had that idea is a genius- I wish I could remember who it was #but yeah I love doing stylized stuff like this #I don’t do it as often as I want to #I have another saf idea similar to this that I’ve had on the back burner that I might do soon ish #i suppose we’ll see #I’m not making any promises #but yeah this one is a bit different from the drawings for the other three days #I got a bit of reprieve from all the rendering I’ve been doing #fun fact: palm trees are technically a type of grass #because it doesn’t have bark and it doesn’t have rings to tell how old it is #curtwen week #Curtwen week 2024 #Curtwen #spies are forever #tin can bros #tin can brothers #agent Curt mega #curt mega #owen carvour #Joey richter #my art #cw guns

hotter than hell

[ID: Digital art of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum in their alternative universe form based off an angel Vash and Devil Wolfwood illustration Nightow did. The both of them are sitting side by side, exhausted from the heat, Vash has his arms crossed, leaned against his knees and his head against his arms, eyes closed as sweat drips from his face. His wings spreads over the both of them to shield them from the sun. Wolfwood is sitting with his right leg extended and his left leg with the knee slightly up. His eyes are also closed with a clear grimacing expression. He uses one of his small devil wings to fan Vash, the text effect reads “flap flap”. Being in the shadows, the palette is cool, blues and purples. A sliver of light shines on the parts not covered by wings in a bright orange/yellow. END ID]

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #this is such a random piece but i just wanted to draw these versions of them...#usually im a double angel vw kind of guy . i like the imagery of angel ww but his little antenna horns and triangle tail and devil wings #very cute... and frankly vw has duality in this field... of angel and devil. demon and diablo and whatnot #but ultimately the angel motifs suits vash the most if nightows side illustrations and book covers are anything to go by #like the covers for vol 5 and vol 8... he is lovely in wings - both the winged kind and his plant-esque kind #and mortal wolfwood my no.1 forever. the idea of devil ww guiding an angel vash back to heaven is a fun thought though #theres probably like 800 stories with that kind of angel/devil plot but im beaming it at vw #ruporas art
