If I had a nickel for everytime there's been a green haired, green eyed nonbinary person named Juniper who have fighting prowess and can summon their weapon of choice at will in a piece of media that I like, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's odd (and cool) that it's happened twice.

(Said characters being Juniper from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Juniper Sel from Leif & Thorn.)

Book #6 of Leif and Thorn safely in the UK! I'm excited to have a reread (which I know I could do any time, but it feels different reading it in print) :D

Birch Persil (Leif & Thorn)

One of his legs is amputated below the knee. He is not wearing a prosthetic. He is wearing a tunic and shorts. In one hand, he has a thin rapier. Text beside him reads: Transtibial Amputation.

Birch is an amputee.

Magical Star Knight Thorn in my approximation of @inchworme's chibi style. I had this big idea of drawing the various magical people of @leifandthorn with Pokemon and though I could combine it with this chibi style but it didn't work, XD

32. Leif and Thorn: Forget Me Not, by Erin Ptah

Owned: Yes Page count: 187 My summary: Things are going weird for Thorn Estragon. Amid an outbreak of the Whispers, he's dealing with a crowd of people wanting to break into the Embassy and looking after his bed-ridden friend who really shouldn't get the Whispers right now. But juggling all of that is not his problem anymore. The Woman in Black is on the case, and on the case, and on the case…yep, that's right, it's a time loop. My rating: 5/5 My commentary:

New Leif and Thorn day! At least, I'm writing this on the day the book arrived on my doorstep. Given the queue, it's probably been about a week before you're reading this. Anyway, Leif and Thorn! People who've been around these parts for a while will know that it's one of my favourite webcomics, I'm actually currently doing a full reread at the minute, and I have gotten each of the print copies of the books as they come out since I started reading. And as a webcomic, you too can go and read it for free right now! Check the link at the start of this paragraph! Anyway, this covers the arcs from Ø is for Øverwritten to Final Rest, but is mostly dealing with the Time Loop plot. Let's go!

It's a sign of a good ensemble piece, I think, that this volume is mostly about people who are not title characters Leif and Thorn, and for me to barely notice it beside a little bit of lampshading. Okay, granted, future Thorn does show up and is a major character, but the main arcs covered in this volume are from Mulberry and Rowan. More on Rowan later, but who the hell is Mulberry? Turns out the Woman In Black is Leif and Thorn's time-travelling future daughter here on a mission to keep a particular Big Bad Thing from happening (Kale getting the Whispers) and is stuck looping around one particular day in order to achieve that goal. Which sounds a lot sillier on paper than it does when it shows up! Poor Mulberry shows a lot of pluck and grit here - she's trying her hardest to put everything back together and avoid all of the family drama stuff while still being very much affected by, you know, seeing her dad and also her dad (and maybe probably also her dad) as younger people. Her almost gleeful throwing herself through this loop, trying options over and over again and even skipping bits so that she can figure out all of the puzzle pieces is really interesting and relatable - she's almost approaching gamer girl status in how she approaches the time loops, it's really interesting. That Mulberry has a connection to the people she's observing adds a good angle, she's not able to detach herself entirely from the characters because she's related to some of them! I fucking love time loops, man.

The other main story here is the Rowan/Archie one, where Thorn's knight Rowan goes on a date with showrunner of an NCIS-style show Archie. They get in some Peril from a dark magical girl, we get more of Team Thorn's magical girl Atarangi and her system, and that's all very well and good but what I want to talk about is virginity! Specifically, Rowan is very much into casual sex and one-night stands, we know this as a character trait of his at this point. Archie, however, is self-described as a thirty eight year old virgin who's not necessarily asexual or aromantic, but hasn't had a lot of experience with romance and sex. And the way they negotiate that is really interesting! There's conflict there, but it's not triggering or anything to me as a sex-repulsed ace - they have their own feelings about it, but ultimately deal with it in a very adult and very reasonable way. It's something that you see so rarely in fiction and I have to commend it for being a really engaging look at sexuality and asexuality (if that's what's actually going on with Archie) from a different angle.

Next up, a summer camp where things are most definitely about to go wrong at all…

I got a really good package today~!

So, for a Long time I’ve been reading @erinptah’s webcomics, especially including the ongoing @leifandthorn.

The 6th collected volume has finally come out, and my copy just got in!

And so did the original sketch of the cover art! :3c

Bonus pic of all the books and art cards together.

…I do mean All the books, lol. The second pin set (from this package) is destined to become a pair of needle minders, and best kitty Tiernan is gonna help me do my cross stitch!

Go read Leif And Thorn, its real good!

It's Pride Month, have some purple Leif/Thorn cuddles with rainbow accents.

[the-obnoxious-sibling]

dipping my toes into new fandoms is always a horrifying moment of potential self awareness. yes i immediately latched onto the horribly undersocialized yet incredibly competent character who didn't know enough about the world to know he was slavishly devoted to The Bad Guy until he met Our Protagonist. yes i did it twice in as many shows. what of it.

I tried something new!! This is my first time making digital art (and fanart in general) ❤️ (I also did this on an ancient iPad with my finger, I'm still in shock that this came from my finger???)

This family has been living rent-free in my brain for MONTHS. I should really start charging @daycourtofficial hmmmm

If you haven't read the Gingerfucker series, please do yourself a favour and check it out! At this point, they are canon to me. Eris deserves EVERYTHING GOOD!!

Canon Polycule Showdown

(vote for your favorite! check the description if you don't know them)

[ID: 1. Two alternate covers for the book Hunger Pangs - True Love Bites, with Nathan, Vlad and Ursula. 2. Art of Leif, Thorn and Kale from the Leif and Thorn webcomic. /end ID]

Meet the contestants!

Nathan/Vlad/Ursula

Status: Canon

Description: For most of the book it's about two of the characters' romance (Vlad and Nathan) and Ursula meets them closer to the end. Their relationship, I think, is supposed to be continued in the next book. They all kiss each other and it's clear from the book that they like each other, and are all open to polyamory.

Leif/Thorn/Kale

Status: Implied

Description: Leif and Thorn are canon, but there's a lot of evidence that Kale may also be part of the relationship soon... Kale canonically has a crush on Thorn, and there are several moments where it's HEAVILY implied that people from the future think their relationship is not platonic. Like the future version of Thorn casually calling Kale “babe”.

Iona Nibelungsen (Leif & Thorn)

[Image Description: Official art from the web comic. Iona, a light-skinned woman with pointed ears and purple hair. She is wearing an ornate purple shirt with gold embroidery. Her coat is also purple with a fluffy white collar. Her hair is tied back in a braid with one strand sticking out. Her eyes are yellow and she has rectangular purple glasses on. Her ears are pierced with studs. End ID.]

Iona has a limb difference and uses a floating chair.
