Adult nonfiction
Queer humor/travel/memoir by a lesbian blogger who goes on a road trip to visit America's surviving lesbian bars
Explores queer community and spaces alongside the author's own life and visits to the bars
#i read this while i was on a very specific kick of nonfiction books that discussed queer bars#which was an interesting little trend#but oh man i didn't really like this book unfortunately#i found the author's sense of humor really annoying personally and the bar visits started to feel rather repetitive after a while#nice cover though!#2023 reads#lulu speaks#lulu reads#books#lulu reads moby dyke#moby dyke#d slur tw#just tagging that because i know people have varying feelings around that word#though obvs it is used in a reclaimed and loving way in this book#oh well! i'm sad i didn't like this more unfortunately

"See you tomorrow"
MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 4 [prev parts]
#better drawn mdzs#MDZS Disco Elysium AU#mdzs au#Lan wangji#wei wuxian#yiling laozu#Happy Belated Halloween!#digital art#Thank you all for your patience as I drove myself into a madness only known by those lost at seas alone.#I put a lot of time into this one! It's not perfect but I am very happy with it + I am so happy to put down the tablet pen.#Digital art has some nice features but I'm sticking with traditional! I need a month to recover from the 2+ weeks of torture.#Okay lets talk about the AU and the comic now#Disco elysium has some of the best existential-horror-dream sequences I have ever seen.#The dialogue here is heavily inspired by The Final Dream - A scene I'd love to talk about more were it not so heavy with spoilers.#My AU is a lot more complex than a simple character swap but I really felt like LWJ + YLLZ fit this scene.#The final dream is about being unable to move on from a lost love. From something You made holy. From something You ruined.#It is about realizing that no matter how smart you are or what you offer or how you try to change -#You will never be able to turn back time. You will never ever be able to fix what is broken. That you also have been broken for a long time#You are a fuck-up who worships the nail covered ground of someone who did not want to be holy. And even though it hurts-#You cannot let this nightmare go. The pain keeps the love close. It is worse to forget. You promised to remember.#WWX died thinking LWJ disliked him. LWJ lost someone he thought was revolted by his love.

its a shame it seems like for splatoon 3 were not gonna get the sorta slice of life splatband art that we got for splatoon 2
#though to be fair i think splatoon 2 deserved it more? since most of their album art was weezer style (all the members just standing there)#whereas splatoon 3 album covers tend to be more dynamic#which is a really nice change! but still the ink theory and bottom feeders art was cute and id love to see some for the splat 3 bands :p#sorry i know this isnt a normal post but im just thinkin 💭#misc

It’s Gangle!
I’ve been trying to get a sense for how to draw all the characters and Gangle seemed intimidating to draw at first, but I think she might end up being fun to paint after working on this piece!
#I smudged the dots at the top while they were drying so I painted over them with a darker color to cover up that mistake#I was so upset when I did that though blargh#that is where digital art is very nice because there’s literally a brush that can make all those dots#But it is kind of meditative to do such repetitive designs by hand#traditional art#watercolor#tadc gangle#the amazing digital circus#tadc fanart#my art#I went on a little painting spree once my break started but I might have to dial back for the next few days#got some other business to take care of

Okay I just woke up and I had the most ridiculous dream.
Somehow the aftg fandom had set up a tiny con and Nora was there. And she announced she was turning aftg into a series about horse jockeys??????
#it was insane and everyone was like what the FUCK are you talking about.#but she had new editions of aftg where the covers were horse related and exy had been completely erased and replaced with horse racing?#everyone was STUNNED.#also met some of you guys there though so that was the nice part of the dream so :D#like i don't think my brain correctly guessed what y'all look like but. it was fun#except for the... horse thing...#diaerie

One thing that annoys me about boruto is that naruto ended with the confirmation that Sasuke was *right* but that his *methods* weren't the best way to achieve what he wants
Naruto agrees that shinobi society needs to be massively overhauled, he just thinks it can be achieved without mass death or at the cost of Sasuke. Youre not supposed to end Naruto believing that Konoha's system was correct.
You're supposed to leave the manga *knowing that Sasuke's beliefs were correct, it was his methods which weren't the best path forward*
Naruto wants to take the pacifist path of talking and communication, but he doesn't fundamentally disagree with Sasuke.
But then we get to boruto and what do we have? The same system except the villages get along now. Great. So different. Also for some reason Sasuke is willing to die for the sake of Konoha.
You're supposed to end Naruto knowing that sasuke was correct about shinobi society and hoping that Naruto will bring about change even if sasuke doesn't stay (his """redemption""" tour which was unneeded because he was the fucking victim) but boruto shows us a society where nothing has changed
#pro sasuke uchiha#shinobi society#konoha#naruto#boruto#anti boruto#i guess#ive gotta be honest i read through boruto up until sasuke lost the rinnegan all in the past week#unlike with naruto i had no prior experience with boruto#with naruto i watched it as a kid like i remember watching it i remember watching the finale#so reading it over last week was more sending me down memory lane than anything#but boruto? i went in knowing nothing#and i was... not pleased ive gotta be honest#the only good part of boruto was Kawaki#and not even his karma or that shit. his arc with ptsd and learning to integrate into naruto's family was what was interesting#so the best thing about the only good boruto character wasnt how he contributed to the plot#but instead his mini arc that covers only about 5-10 chapters#also sasuke's design is nice#i like how it is reminiscent of itachi#its like hes honoring his family even though he no longer wears their crest

Happy Halloween y’all!!
So, I originally wanted to be Joker for Halloween this year, but after trying a new face paint that made my skin itch and break out like crazy, I quickly had to switch gears and find something new. Luckily, I bought this Cinderella costume a few years ago at Walmart for like… $30, and while I’ve lost roughly 35 pounds since then, I was able to counter the loose top with a baby blue corset that goes surprisingly well with the rest of the dress.
The kids at work (I’m an after school teacher) kept thinking I was Elsa, though, ha. And that was before wearing the snowflake cloak (which I only wore because it was the only outer wear I had on hand that even kinda went with the dress). Eh, guess you can’t win sometimes, ha.
Anyway, I love dressing up in elaborate costumes for work on Halloween, since it shows the kids that adults can still have fun dressing up for Halloween. ^-^
Hope y’all had a great day! :-D
#Cinderella#Halloween#Cosplay#My Cosplay#I have the parasol because it’s sunny where the kids play and we always take them outside for an hour for play time#And we were doing a mini carnival for them that was also outside so I knew I’d need sun protection#The kids liked my costume at least!#Even if half of them had no idea who I was. 🤦🏼♀️#Oh! And the necklace is just a piece of scrap leather that I cut to size and tied around my neck ha#Also you can’t see them but I was wearing rhinestone covered platform boots that I got for $1.50 at a Forever 21 closing sale#They were surprisingly not as uncomfortable as I’d have thought honestly#After being on my feet for hours I only have mild pain in my pinky toes#Which is amazing in my eyes ha#Also also the crown was just for fun ha. I had it and the ‘headband’ the pitiful wig came with was even more pitiful than the wig itself#So I used the crown because it looked nice. Even though I know Cinderella doesn’t have a crown while wearing this dress ha

You know, I have to say as a stalwart "Veth should get a divorce" truther since at least 2021, this past episode has given me a certain renewed vindication in that opinion
#mrs veth brenatto you abnormal woman whom i love no it is NOT normal to lie about being in an open relationship#and compulsively try to have affairs and when people ask about yeza be like ''no no he's so sweet though. he's wonderful. it's just--''#woman. it's been SEVEN years. COME ON#me after the finale episode: i think veth struggles to communicate what she wants because wanting something other#than yeza feels wrong because he IS a nice guy whom she loves. unfortunately yeza is too passive to actually#bring these issues to a head himself and veth doesn't want to rock the boat either so they're going to stay like this maybe forever#me today: as i always knew. i was correct#i might post something in more depth about this later that covers more nuances but. lol. lmao even#cr spoilers#veth brenatto

Well, I found all my old cover illustration originals. However… some of them faded dramatically while in storage. They were light to begin with (likely due to the tendinitis I was wrestling at the time) and the resulting scan… left a lot to be desired. The meager paper texture has started to compete with the lightest areas. I remember this one being a massive pain in the ass to scan and adjust the first time around.
So since I’m a Luddite, I’m manually darkening key areas. It needed doing anyway. You can see the whole left hand side of the piece is being darkened, while the head and forelegs and far wing are as pasty as I found them.
I guess it’s been good to see how much I have improved over the years at the very least.
Someday there will be prints, I’m still going to make that work out.
#work in progress#illustration#fantasy art#book cover#crosshatching#traditional media#equine#winged horse#Pegasus#green rider series#why do I make my job harder by drawing so light?#feel free to make fun of me#even though it’s not nice to make fun of fossils

I'm drawing various outfits for Karleeen (because what are you even doing if you aren't making digital paper dolls of your characters?) for the first time since about 2022. Back then I drew this pretty cute overalls design and I wanted to redraw it, compare!! (click to see full images)
#karleeen has really become truly herself in these years!#i cant believe i used to draw her with one toe on each foot. thats not right at all#overalls are also more sensible now and actually cover the abdomen because thats where a good bit of her organs are and karleeen -#gets cold sometimes just like millions of americans every year (silly)#the overalls loop around the spider abdomen and end at the human back. open and closed with buttons#the belt is mostly for fashion#i am debating on whether or not to keep the magenta colour or if i should make them blue because its more modern and mature#in the meantime though check it out :D nice feets! proper feets!#karleeen#sirpaverse#art#my art#not fish

I feel it's common for people to feel they're bothering/embarrassing creators by interacting with their older works? So I thought it'd be interesting to see where other creatives (artists, fic writers, edit makers, anything goes) stand on the matter! Feel free to elaborate on your thoughts or give examples :)
(The timeframe of what counts as an old work is up to you. Could be one year, 10 years, anything depending on for how long you've been posting your works online)
#toma talks#toma polls#art stuff#i love it personally :) its nice#can be slightly embarrassing if im not super proud of it gjfh but it's fun to see my older stuff being enjoyed on occasion#i Hope i covered enough ground with the options#mostly curious bc even though i enjoy it as an artist when i'm the one looking at ppl's works i get a little nervous about#interacting with older stuff at times if the op's still around and posting other stuff/for a completely different fandom and whatnot#which may be silly but does make me wonder

I wish I knew what it was like to put on a skirt or a dress and not have that moment of pure panic and fear, y'know? Like that feeling like I am bad and disgusting for just wearing some cloth that I actually really like. That if someone sees me they're going to hurt me, y'know?
I would love to know what it's like to wear these things without intense feelings of guilt and shame. It would be wonderful.
#oh we're trauma posting tonight#it would be nice though#g-d i wish i could cover all the trauma i had around gender and get people to understand how i ended up in the spot i did and#like when i came out when i did and ugh yeah anyway!!#actual lives experiences brought me to this place BUT CANT TALK ABOUT THAT LMAO

new headdress I'm working on for my shop. Lambkin, the pet name varré gives us in elden ring, is such a cute word. The pink yarn is very light against the cream, it's hard to capture but it "blushes" in light, almost disappearing under certain angles and light! Accented with antique lace, and it'll have a gorgeous matching ribbon and bows.
I haven't posted any personal work in a while so here's something I'm taking time on for myself ^-^
#Making egl garments has been a long time dream of mine... imagine I had cute little sleepgarden brand tags#Maybe someday..#I'm going to be more realistic with my pricing going forward too. I have two other pieces planned#But im going to release things one by one as I make then instead of saving them to post multiple at a time I think.#Esp since I have less time lately. Anyways#I have another needlepoint that says pluto because I've been loving that word. It's so fun to say#It's in a delft blue colour in a different font. It'll probably be a belt cover#Idk who would want something that says pluto on it but I'll throw it out there for any planet and roman mythos fans lol#Okay enough rambling. I've been going through it. As always. My work has been falling behind though. It's nice to have something to share!#Goodnight ♡

also it was very nice of the orthodontic surgeons(I'm not sure if it's correct to call them dentists) that they never commented on my yellowed and crooked teeth. however they did put my x ray on the monitor directly in front of me to just look at for the entire time i was there and i do wonder if it was to shame me (/jokey)
anyway hopefully soon i will get my bottom two wisdom teeth taken out
#it is just the One that is currently an issue(cavity) but thwy recommended taking out All my wisdom teeth like the ones up top too#i Dont think the top ones are a problem bc theyre completely exposed and havent caused me any issues#the bottom two though are only partially exposed like theyrr mostly covered by my gums#and one formed a cavity so. id like that to not happen to the other#but they told me my teeth are otherwise healthy so that was nice#you can probavly see the cavity its that dark Spot on the last bottom right tooth of the image#is this tmi. idk i worry people think im always lying#tooth trauma#words from the monarch
