it takes years for terry pratchett's books to get consistently good. I would argue that the series doesn't really hit its stride until Feet of Clay, which means that pratchett was writing and being published for 12 years before he found his groove.
and I genuinely can't imagine that. in part because I do think that pratchett's publication calendar looks different than what's expected of writers today---he had about 2 books published per year for his entire career. he must have been writing furiously, and the publisher must have relatively quickly gotten these to press.
but also....I just can't imagine any modern-day publisher keeping an author on their list for twelve years, unless that author is a prestige get or a constant presence on the bestseller list. And what does it say about the state of publishing that you can't go on publishing someone's good-but-not-revelatory books until they figure out what story they're trying to tell?
Bisexual women can bring their cishet boyfriends to pride If they bring me the cow as white as milk the cape as red as blood the hair as yellow as corn the slipper as pure as gold bring me these before the chime of midnight in 3 days time and they shall have I guarantee a pride as perfect as pride can be.
Felt like going back to my roots and drew the Sanders Sides! I hope I finally did them justice.
I honestly have no idea what I’d be like today if I never watched this series. To me it acted as a guide on self reflection and gave me the vocabulary to talk about things like anxiety. And it did this in a fun, digestible, memorable way. I think the first video I watched upon release was “Fitting In,” and I remember the hype in the hours leading up to it. So that one will always have a special place in my heart. Also, Sanders Sides was my first fandom, and it made sure I was in a good online community. Even though I don’t think about the series as much now, it still means a lot to me.

Bail, on the other side of the room: ...I feel like I am being targeted right now
she has paranoia around someone from her old life finding her
shes really scared that one day, one of her old coworkers or clients will show up to radiator springs because they recognized her from a racing newspaper or interview or paparazzi pic
so she chose not to attend mcqueen's races and any events with a lot of press. after cars 1, she did get better at managing her paranoia and by cars 3, shes okay with going to mcqueen's races :]
and mcqueen will ofc do anything to make sally comfortable and feel safe. he always asks sally what he can share about her in interviews, he always asks if he can post their pictures together, and he never makes her feel bad or "irrational" for her paranoia
additional hc: she had sarge remove her gps a few days after she got to radiator springs
also she did get scared when mcqueen got found in cars 1 and all the press appeared
In all the selfies he takes// His head is tilted the same way,
And his favorite hashtag is #beastmode
'Cause he's a fuckboy
Oh Alex "unhinged military mad scientist fuckboi" Harley it's been since 2018 but I still think about you and your big crazy blue eyes. 😔 Epitome of a disaster bisexual. Someday you'll grow a moral compass, I believe in you.
Was lamenting that I couldn't find a decent quality scan of this frankly iconic image used in some of the older Archie Sonic comics and uhhhh.... did something about that.
Original work done by.... Patrick Spaziante I believe! It looks like his style from the 90's, though i don't know if it was ever properly credited in the old issues. New inks and colors done by me for a fun little warmup- so not claiming any credit~
