I will draw: OCs, any fandom, humanoid creatures/monsters, and basically any ship. Smut is absolutely ok!

Maybe: I might say no to certain ships and content if it’s not my thing or I don’t think I can draw it. For example if you request something that I absolutely know I can’t do justice I will tell you and try to recommend somebody else who might take it on.

Might not draw robots or furries depending on the design, as I’m not used to drawing either.

Will NOT draw: graphic violence, non con, underage characters or real people in nsfw situations.

Message me if you have questions about any of that or want something that’s not on the list.

I knew I was getting close to Textile City. I could see their monument, a colossal weaving device, looming in the distance.

Trystan Gravelle is always a fantastic actor but he really outdid himself with Henry Collins. Impeccable performance. Alistair Petrie too, convincing us all that he is in fact the cantankerous SOB Stephen Stanley when he is actually so very silly and warm in interviews. Acting.

i think there is a phenomenon where sometimes a trans person will go “hmm. i am treated as a man when it is convenient for others, and a woman when it is convenient for others, and often as a freakish third thing excluded from the advantages of both. surely, because of the gender binary, the Other Type of trans person experiences the opposite: they reap the benefits of maleness and femaleness at once.” like babes no they can do it twice

The popularity of the "incompetent stupid piece of shit husband and competent wife who loves him anyways" trope in media is a psyop to make women believe its normal to settle for an incompetent stupid piece of shit husband

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

there's nothing i like more as a computer program than a long period of silent contemplation - not doing anything, not rushing anywhere, just standing here and enjoying this moment with the user. oh, it seems once again he has summoned my beautiful and ruthless wife Task Manager. hello, my darling! what are you doing with that long cruel scimitar
