Favorite Books I Read in 2022

Love and Other Cursed Things (Krista and Becca Ritchie)

"But steel and iron and diamonds---they don't care. They don't love. And I've never been loved the way that I know October used to love me. To me, October Brambilla is made of compassionate things. Romantic things. Everlasting, affectionate, loving things."

Misfits Like Us (Krista and Becca Ritchie)

"My heart is a chasm of everything I know and love, and it will always be filled with you."

Daisy Jones and the Six (Taylor Jenkins Reid)

"I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story."

The Song of Achilles (Madeline Miller)

"He is a weapon, a killer. Do not forget it. You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature."

The House of Sky and Breath (Sarah J. Maas)

"If you're looking for How Not to Be an Asshole, it's shelved between Bye, Loser and Get Out."

A Light in the Flame (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

"Needing me or anyone to look out for you doesn't mean you're weak, that you can't defend yourself, or that you're afraid. We all need someone to watch over us."

i got lazy in the second panel

#i love having art skill manifest out of literally nowhere #i guess i was just charging up for this shitpost or something #still no idea how to stylize n's textboxes so i've been bouncing around a bit #my favorite gag ever is when a character has an emoticon or curse bleep or whatever and other characters are just like “how did you do that #funniest thing ever to me #gonna go vanish for another 3 months while i fuel my old bird obsession and get yelled at by my coworker #art #murder drones #murder drones uzi #murder drones n #serial designation n #me my boyfriend and his pile of a bunch of suspiciously familiar plushies he found in an abandoned building #suprisingly soft. you should try smothering yourself with plushies sometime #apparently i was REALLY lazy with the second panel because i forgot to two tone uzis top dialogue #btw first time two toning the dialogue if thats difficult to read then ill quit it

AsaDen x Metaphor Re:Fantazio

#*akademia theme plays*#i dunno what really possessed me to do this tbh #i just really love the art direction for metaphor #the menu art is just... so perfect to me #and i wanted to do it for one of my favorite ships #the longer i look at it the funnier i feel because like #why did i make this aldkjas #literally just THEM doing nothing #but i guess its just a thing where i combine two things i love #i already loved asaden and got inspired to do more art for them when i posted a piece on reddit #and then metaphor came along and completely took me by the hand and inspired me to do more #if you havent go look at the menu art for it and listen to the akademia theme #you'll get it once you see it i think #i dont really expect a ton of people to like this since it feels so normal haha #also im always cursed to draw one or the other slightly off #and this time it's denji lol #also i know they'd have some softer features bc theyre japanese #but i'm always weirded out by not showing jaws n stuff #idk its a style thing #also yes this is my mobile banner now im sorry sasunaru #anyway im done rambling in the tags sorry about that #my art #chainsaw man #asaden #asa mitaka #csm fanart #denji #denji hayakawa #csm x metaphor #artists on tumblr

I think one of the most vital parts of any curse of Strahd campaign is that when you're establishing the dynamic between your Strahd and Rahadin they both have to be at least a little weird about it

#There are other important things of course #but you absolutely cannot make the relationship between these guys normal #One way or another you have to make them weird. For the drama. For the tension. The anticipation.#So that when your party targets one of them they know the other is about to go sicko mode on their ass #curse of strahd #it speaks #I love Rahadin and Strahd as a concept so much #Everyone in Ravenloft is undead or cursed or magical and then there's Some Elf With A Sword and he's 2nd in command #Like what the hell is this guy doing here #How scary does he have to be that Strahd keeps him around and MORTAL

haunting the narrative -> haunted by the narrative -> haunting the narrative -> haunted by

#adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #betty grof #petrigrof #fan art #fanart #art #digital art #my art #just a lil something something i did for fun #adventure time has always been the show that makes me want to draw (i have SO many AT drawings from 2015 it's ridiculous)#but now I'm coming back to that ye olde passion with new digital art skills and many more evil tragic thoughts (thank you fionna and cake🙏)#i couldn't get the thought about them haunting and be haunted by the narrative out of my head so I had to make some art for it #the caption for this was almost: so who wears the haunted by the narrative in the relationship?#they take turns of course because damn these guys really do be having that tragic romance huh. hot potato cursed existence #never quite on the same wavelength. always out of reach. their love the very thing that dooms them to be apart. a love defined by absences #like two ships in the night passing each other by. except they keep trying to seek the other out. and so end up going in circles #the tragic dance of madness and sadness. lead on and i shall follow. ....so anyway...these two amiright?#/might/ have to write something at some point...maybe...#because like... ghosts are my thing. and these two...well. even when they aren't haunting the narrative they are still ghosts #never let themselves live in the present and okay I'm going to stop now. enjoy the art byeeeee #...AND they'll never be at peace because they'll always be reaching for a version of each other that no longer exists and—#(i am dragged kicking and screaming from the room before i can devolve into a full blown meta)

blessed be (lorscher bienensegen) | telling the bees (wiþ ymbe)

"Bees" [remixed, abridged], Claudia Emerson // "Letter to Someone Living Fifty Years from Now" [remixed. abridged], Matthew Olzmann // "Letter to my Great, Great Grandchild" [remixed, abridged], J.P. Grasser | Len Redkole, Nina Weiss, Brian Babineau, Christian Peterson, Mitchell Leff, Dave Isaac, Megan DeRuchie

#liv in the replies #if i were insane there would be an appendix to this called telling the bees however i finished this at 3am yesterday its nearly midnight &#my cutoff is when my ahl asg stream cuts. GOD by now i should know when i save a poem like hmm. not applicable but god it'd be perfect #THAT'S A CURSE. DON'T PUT IT IN THE DOCUMENT. DON'T SAVE IT. FORGET YOU READ IT. IT'S A CURSE!! <- things i should've told myself when i #went to read bees was already like 👀 &then the first line was FUCKING CLAUDE!!!!! anyway. sorry also this is like. insanely long but ALSO #regarding mf claude. the first picture is a leftover from the claude edit i made years ago so that feels GREAT and BEAUTIFUL & also for me #as ever y'all will be getting a full breakdown. starting with what i regularly have a breakdown about every time i see it which is joelle's #james 1:12 tattoo which if u use the king james version (gay) is blessed is he who perseveres under trial because having stood the test he #will receive the crown of life the lord has promised to those who love him. which i always go blessed is he who perseveres // for those who #love him. and that's joel. ignoring him getting it then getting sent down on his birthday IGNORING IT. also we know the frosty/maple leafs #hahaha fuck the flyers lore right? good. that's morgan and his dad also bc i love a baby picture & it was perfect. also the dave isaac pic #next was in an article talking about morgan 'stung' by draft camp. shut UP. i have an alt for tells him with claude and ALSO hate the #elephant w/phil bc myesie u fuckin leaf-eater (giraffe) but i love the composition of that jake shot & had to use it (it was also almost #tells him) with thylacine jakey frog nolan also raff the extinct whale bc i needed him here. if my editing on incapable of joy is bad no on #tell me i did some SHENANIGANS to put morgan in there & color-pick/alter his jersey. new skill. i think euphoria is one of my favorite for #the sake of pride night but ALSO that polaroid kills me very time &they're so stoners contemplate the universe but ALSO i love transcendenc #so that whole three photo string i think is my favorite. and i was in looking at these like listen okay it's okay there are only so many #photos in the world. you can repeat from others you've seen before. except ALSO there's so many of these freaks together do you separate #and every time i was like there can't be more there was more. don't ask the number of back-ups for the sweetest blossom/pinch/ruffle sets #okay also the ready to be stung one was a surprise favorite fit for me because i love that line but wasn't sure how to convey it? so it's o #i think with how morgan's face is and the almost of it all. yes joel hardest trier is in there purely for me i do have an alt but. how coul #u doubt him. insert sasha's tweet abt how much joel loves philly but all his quotes have been abt being excited for morgan to have a fresh #start. AND NOT EVEN TWO MINUTES IN CALGARY AND YOU'RE STILL INSEPARABLE god i literally googled frost farabee calgary to find the last #blessed [because. heard but not seen you know of everyone traded but you went together. not seen. (which ties into the terrible appendix)]#and IT DIDN'T EVEN TAKE ME TWO MINUTES TO FIND THAT!!! WHAT DO YOU MEANNN anyway. sorry again it's so long & also i will be vanishing a wee #& a half after posting [redacted] is kicking my ass & im doing [redacted fun things WAIT ACTUALLY U CAN KNOW ONE i'm seeing hippo campus]#morgan frost #joel farabee #philadelphia flyers #calgary flames

@hxhbigbang24 time!!

I drew for this fic which made me SAD and also made my HEART WARM!! I will not say too much to avoid spoiling future chapters, but I illustrated a few moments from this scene near the end of the story that I loved!

#hxh #hunter x hunter #hxhbb24 #melody hxh #leorio paladiknight #leosen #senritsu #leomelody #leomelopika #(<- in a way)#my brain got stuck for a while on the idea of doing One Big Piece #and then I realized a series of faster looser drawings probably better captured the sort of #whirlwind feeling of this scene that i loved in the first place #something about traveling scenes at night is just. *chefs kiss*#(or maybe that's just my excuse LOL but I hope it worked out okay!!)#'Leomelody has so much love to give' <- (from the fic tags) YOU GET IT #part of me is glad fandom as a whole was able to look at the 'best heartbeat' scene without making it into a ship thing but #in my heart of hearts i think this ship is so underrated they would care about each other so much and make each other laugh #and also probably have a grand old time goofing off together (while we see her being more restrained nowadays this IS the same melody who #got drunk and listened to the creepy cursed sonata quite likely thinking it'd be a cool fun idea)

Did you see the clip of Joe yesterday?

Is it a clip now? Oh lord....was it funny at least?

It was the first time he ever used the F word in a conference.

He cursed? Y'all lying...I be trying to get him to curse, he don't curse when I'm talking to him...

#again love love loveeee this style of press conference where they get joe to talk about ja'marr a lot the first day #then report everything he said back to ja'marr the next day #truly they do have to communicate with each other in the MOST indirect convoluted ways #exhausting! just make them do these together!!! can you imagine them arguing about whether ja'marr's ever asked for the ball like that??#but still. this version of reality is also Very Good.#is it a clip now?? oh lord... just so wife embarrassed about husband coded if i'm being honest!#like 'oh what did he say now!! i hope it was at least funny!'#and then not believing that joe cursed (just like he didn't believe joe winked earlier in the year)#constantly trying to figure this man out <3 #you know he's going to be on joe even more to curse now #the thing is i feel like joe probably doesn't curse much in casual conversion. midwestern polite boy and all that #but he's a grown-ass man so i'm sure he DOES curse occasionally #but maybe knowing how much ja'marr wants him to...he purposefully does it less around him to mess with him #that's a dynamic i fully believe for them #ja'marr chase #joe burrow #joe'marr

apparently it’s eliarhaegar hours so:

the thing that drives me absolutely nuts about them is how they have so little in common. completely different frames of reference. dorne and king’s landing, the least repressive of the seven kingdoms and the epicentre of westerosi feudalism. a loving family, a family rotten to the core with incest and abuse. the political world, the world of prophecies and doom and dragon blood. they were doomed from the start. they were so, so doomed, they could barely begin to understand each other yet their lives are bound together, and that makes me insane. two completely different worlds colliding and, while they might’ve been able to coexist in each other’s orbit for a while, the collision and the shattering itself are slow, beautiful and inevitable.

#asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #rhaegar targaryen #elia martell #eliarhaegar #rhaegar x elia #house targaryen #house martell #SCREAMMMM #i love these two so much #the only thing they do have in common is all of the vitamin deficiencies #and like. i don’t think they hated each other #at least not at first #i don’t think they were always unhappy in each other’s presence #but i think fundamentally they could not understand each other #similar but different to viserys i think growing up in aerys’ household probs just fundamentally broke something inside rhaegar #you’re not going to be normal when you’re raised like that #whereas elia i think was pretty… well not necessarily normal but not blood curse and doom rot and depraved father #yet she’s married to… that
