Yes, I am actually alive.

Yes, I have reignited an old hyperfixation.

Sadly, there aren’t a whole lot of ghost!Holmes fic out there…

BUT THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW… :D

This was my first time using the charcoal brushes on Procreate.

1 hr 38 minutes according to the time-lapse

Critiques are welcome.

A bit of late news, it's come to my attention that Bit Bot Media, those paragons of quality and delivering promises, have been astroturfing reviews of Ascendance on Metacritic. The source comes from The Elder Fraud on Discord as well as these Reddit posts: 1 and 2

Legacy of Kain: Ascendance released on March 31st 2026 and despite having numerous reported bugs and other QoL issues, no patches have been released. Backers who supported the Dead Shall Rise, the comic Ascendance is based off of, also created by Bit Bot, have yet to receive their Kickstarter rewards as of the time of this post. Yet Bit Bot is wasting time inflating reviews for a game no one -- not even them -- cares about. Why?

Probably because they're trying to court the Thief fandom to fund a new licensed comic project through BackerKit, which the Legacy of Kain fandom has been vocally sounding the alarm about. If you're not aware of Bit Bot's history, feel free to search the #bitbot tag on this blog as I've been documenting them for a while.

i do desperately need everyone on this website especially people who arent american but want to rag on america to familiarize themselves with the basic romanized spelling conventions of native american languages because every day i come on here and i see people making fun of massachusetts or connecticut or mississippi or passamaquoddy or mashpee or nipissing and its like PLEASE. PLEASE THEY ARENT ENGLISH WORDS. PLEAAAAASEEEEEUUUHHH. USE YOUR MINDS TO IDENTIFY WHEN A WORD LOOKS LIKE IT MAY NOT BE ENGLISH. I DONT CARE IF YOU MAKE FUN OF AMERICA JUST PLEASE STOP BEING RACIST WHILE YOU DO IT

Map I found showing which states got their names from where. Over half of the states come from Indigenous languages.

[aofspades]

Now I’m curious on the origins (tribe/meaning) of the state names that are First Nations in origin

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

Finally sat down to do this and it was kinda difficult, but I think I really like this design!!

I like the idea of his cowl being sheer/really thin fabric so it flows really nicely underwater, and with the tail, I was originally going to just have it be fully hollow in the front, but I think it looks much better with some remnants of flesh left over :)
