Rook Appreciation Week 2026, Day 2

A return to the Tamster AU with @rowanartistside's Tamryn Thorne (and my Aster de Riva). Tamryn's been giving Aster space while working together to aid a Blighted Treviso, since his flirting kept going over their head, and he's shocked to realize that they've started flirting back during their visit to Tamryn's home village for a much needed break 😌

Lucanis Week 2026 — Work & Leisure

Day 1 ✦ Day 2 ✦ Day 3 ✦ Day 4 ✦ Day 5 ✦ Day 6 ✦ Day 7 Day 1 of @datvcompanionweeks!

(Illario & Lucanis Dellamorte, 9:51 Dragon, The Wigmaker Job)

Slightly younger cousins, moments before Lucanis left by ship, after Illario betrayed his trust and sold him to the Venatori.

Illario's outfit is an original design I made for last year's Illario Week. As per Mary Kirby's words, Lucanis didn't have a beard before the Ossuary, nor a mullet! He looks so baby haha <3

Lucanis Week 2026 - Day 1 - Work/Leisure

Print available here!

Lucanis tries to warm Rook up on a book genre she doesn't usually enjoy–romance. Lucanis is the romance reader and Rook is the romance slanderer. That, at least...applies for Anya lol.

Thank you @datvcompanionweeks for hosting this event!

I found a Jack Vettriano pose that was so good but I had a thought in my head of what if Leyendecker had a hand on it somehow lmao.

Previews below the cut :)

Bad Ending, Good Ending

Reviving some old art from last year! I realized these two match perfectly well together. Also looking back at last year's Lucanis Week art in anticipation to the one coming up in a few days lmao.

An Lucanis Week 2025 work and an Andy Virgil study. Context aside, I've been thinking about how a month ago during a weekly meeting, a coworker said he loved bad endings in horror games. And I agree! They usually have more bite to it, and have a more emotional staying power compared to the relief, the light feeling of a good ending. Although...I actually do also like good endings because the horror games I usually play have endings where you're fucked either way even if the other one is better. So good endings are pleasantly surprising to me.

re: Lucanis leaving the Crows to settle down with Rook.

while the idea that Illario went through all that elaborate planning and orchestrated the murder of the one person he loved the most only for Lucanis to drop the First Talon title for Rook anyway is hilarious... don't you think it would actually fuck with Illario a little. maybe even a lot.

the end of the Wigmaker Job provides the most honest look into their relationship we got so far: Illario doesn't want Lucanis to keep going on like this. Lucanis wants to keep going like this because he sees no other way to live for himself. Even if it kills you, and Death is my calling, right?

he and Lucanis knew each other their entire lives, and Illario is not enough to change his mind.

and then Lucanis gives it all up for someone he knows for maybe a year. now, wouldn't that sting?

you notice over time that some people clearly understand the concept of thinking critically about the media they consume and who its created by but dont want to do the critical thinking themselves so they just like. wait for people on the internet to tell them what theyre allowed to like in order to keep their Good Person score high or whatever. which doesnt seem very productive to me i think.

[what-even-is-thiss]

If you’ve never had a properly rich friend as a person who grew up and/or currently is middle class to poor it’s kind of an insane experience.

One time a friend of mine told me that she only dates men who make over seven figures a year because she wants someone with a “similar life experience” and I still wonder if I should’ve told her that that particular standard might be one of the reasons she keeps finding terrible men

"sex should be less stigmatized and talked about more" and "you should always make sure people who dont want to consume sexual media that you present dont have to see it" are two statements that can and should coexist. by the way.

It is important, as artists and as fans of media, to be able to recognise, portray, and appreciate POC features on characters (shock fucking horror). As artists, make it a part of your study to draw POC, to learn how to draw different features. Ranges of eyes, different facial structure, lips, noses, varieties of skin tones. This is obviously important for, you know, basic human decency, but it ties in with GenAI.

Machine learning and datasets have always been saturated with whiteness. The IT sector is overwhelmingly white and always has been. The models are training off a very white internet. GenAI skews white (and anime-style but we're not talking about that today).

So when it comes to GenAI and faking semirealism, it'll give you skewed results when it tries to represent characters that aren't white. It especially struggles with Black characters. So you, discerning reader, must be able to spot tells that a human, an artist, should be able to represent. Does that art look rendered to a high level, but Davrin's got a narrow nose and his palms are the wrong colour?

Hey. Don't bean soup me. You - critical thinker, you - know there are many more AI tells than just misrepresenting a character's features or skin tone. You know this. I'm holding your face in my hands you know this. Say it with me - alone, these tells don't guarantee AI.

What I'm saying is - if you go about your days on the internet comfortable believing that you don't have to put care and time into depicting POC, if you're happy to do that because all your OCs are white and why would you need to learn? First and lesser, you're gonna get fooled by AI. Secondly and more dire, you're gonna perpetuate this very pervasive attitude I've seen where "the art is there, the Black character is there, who cares if they don't look accurate, at least they're there" which is harmful. It's lazy. It's saying: "white characters are the only characters who deserve to be depicted accurately."

Look inward, look outward. Look at what you're supporting with your reblogs. Care more. Respect more.

Care more.
