Mo (it/its) ♠️ i like moths, (horror) books and dog-coded characters.

today is a good day to think about being a swarm of crows loosely assembled into a human shape

They are asking (respectfully) to see your coin collection (no intentions of taking to add to their horde)

"it's ok to show (x) in fiction as long as the bad guy gets punished!" the bad guy doesn't have to get punished. in fact the bad guy can win altogether. the bad guy can entirely get away with it. hope this helps

[bunniboiz]

and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

[uptownthots]

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

Seems like I have this trend of cranking out leveling-up pieces of art around my birthday, lol. Finished up this watercolored piece of fanart–Maniye and Hesprec from “The Tiger and the Wolf” by Adrian Tchaikovsky. In the book, everyone can turn into their clans’ animal–but because Maniye has blood from both the wolves and the tigers, she has both forms warring within her.

It’s rare I do fanart nowadays, but I literally found NO fanart of this pretty cool book series, and I wanted to do a fun, no-pressure warmup piece before I tackled something else.

this is how the first half of the tiger and the wolf went right

stone river, grown man, chief of his clan, looked at his 14 year old daughter, said "who's going to start beef with a child to absolutely humiliate themselves?" and didn't wait for an answer

so I just watched the odyssey movie....

and I made this within 5 minutes of returning. so I think that sums up my thoughts on it. (though im willing to rant more if ppl want it. cause I have COMPLAINTS)

when i was a teenager i used to catch myself thinking "i'm really glad i'm alive right now because of all the cool personal technologies that exist" and when i did i'd think it through and reckon that well, its not like teenagers in the 70s and 80s knew they didnt have ipods or facebook or whatever. they were also happy with the tech they had. and i'd reason that in the future there would be more fun technologies that i dont know i'm missing out on right now and the future will be an even cooler time to exist

anyway i was dead fucking wrong about that last part. i hate personal technologies now. i miss having an ipod that doesnt advertise shit to me and i miss when my htc wildfire didnt harass me 45 times a day to install an ai assistant and then install it anyway when i say no and i miss when the internet wasnt 5 websites all of which i have to log into and i miss when i didnt need an app to talk to my landlord. sorry past me you were actually right about 2009

oh gideon nav is the lesbian of ALL TIME. she’ll explain how hot every woman she meets is and how their eyes seem to pin her down and how a blush runs up to her cheeks whenever they look at her and she can’t say no to them

and then at the end of the paragraph she’ll be like “oh and some sort of man was also present. he was a little bitch.”
