Bren: “ugh I’m failing as Paidhi, how can I express my complex human emotions to the Atevi around me?”

Jago :“I’m gonna fuck the paidhi”

Been playing around with concept art for Bren’s various hairstyles throughout the series. (Also he’s definitely prematurely greying-my man’s cortisol levels are so high all the time).

I feel like Octavia Butler does not get enough credit for her work in deeply uncomfortable and thought-provoking erotic power dynamics.

(and I mean that with the greatest appreciation--I would've read her works much sooner if I knew how weird some of them get)

when u unholster the gas pump and expose its insert and u push it into ur cars hole and feel the hose stiffen with liquid and u hold down on the trigger watching your cars tank fill all the way up until its close to its breaking point and only then do u let the pump slide out and its still dripping and u plug ur car up to make sure nothing leaks out and u dont even clean the pump as u hang it back up for the next car to enjoy

Bren and Jago's first night together is absolutely wild. It starts with Jago's partner having a mini meltdown over the fact the world may literally be ending but these two can't get their shit together. So half jokingly, half out of frustration he manuevers the situation so they have to talk it out, have to make a move.

In an epic, earthshaking thunderstorm.

And then Cherryh writes a tasteful, touching scene of intimacy followed by these two crazy goobers running naked out into the driving rain and then cuddling in their sleeping bag.

The next morning Banichi follows them around, teasing them mercilessly. Bren is turning various shades of red while Jago jokingly mulls over whether killing Banichi would be patricide or justified homicide.

The whole thing is fluffy, angsty comedy gold.

the social norm of “its your ethical responsibility to be constantly aware of, and angry about, every bad thing happening in the world at all times, even if you can’t possibly do anything about it” is possibly the best way I can imagine to create burnout and cynicism and depression in a population, so good job guys

Upholding the Laws And Regulations because you deeply hate crime (unlike Sir Samuel Vimes, who only feels personally offended by crime, because it dares happening in his city)

You look into Carrot's face for clues and only get a blank expression of polite innocence in return. You'll never know if he's that simple and literal, or maybe he means the exact opposite of what he just said. You'll never know for sure.

Just your friendly local giant cop, who inexplicably knows the names of all your third cousins and their pets.

I've been spending some quality time on the Discworld lately. And upon re-reading some of the books about The Watch, I had to draw me some Lady Ramkin. No offence to the official illustrators, they're great artists and all, but I could never see what I see when I read when I look at any of the artwork out there. So I made my own.

1. Sybil Ramkin wearing a black dress & black wig, and some family diamonds, looking like the night sky. And winking at Vimes.

2. "It's my bloody dragon!"

3. Almost certain that there won't be any scale growth. Almost.

Many people love this version of Sybil, it seems, so I made a small set of stickers: here

In the latest of a series of escalations in President Donald Trump’s highly publicized war on “woke,” the U.S. Department of Justice reportedly removed all mentions of justice from its website Friday.

The purge follows a directive from the DOJ last week to roll back pro-justice programs and delete thousands of webpages that contained banned words, including “fairness,” “integrity,” “due process,” and “honor.” Citing an executive order from the president, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed her department to comb through all its articles, images, videos, and social media posts to remove any “un-American, leftist propaganda” related to upholding the rule of law, keeping the nation safe, or protecting citizen’s rights.
