So, this will be my personal blog about what goes around in my strange, dark, quirky and at times random mind. What interests me, my bugbears, what I adore and my deeper secrets. Behold and be warned, all that is me. Furthermore, I am an INFJ /INTJ, I'm ambiverted, an artist and musician, a pagan and a kinky Dominant lesbian, not to mention a total geek.

Y'all, this was a stupidly fun papercraft to build. And it’s huge. 16 x 31 inches! (by comparison, the recent Wicked King papercraft is 11 x 14″) I really had fun experimenting with this one, especially with the colors. I limited my selections to vibrant reds and dulled blues/greys and really stretched the color contrast muscles. Paying homage to the brilliant book covers, I imbued a crow/cityscape with a collage of elements inspired by noir, art deco and M.C. Escher. And I’m super happy to let Nina finally have her waffles.

I’ve had this planned since early last year, and finally decided to build it in celebration of the King Of Scars release…but then Netflix dropped their news about the Grishaverse mini series!?! So let this papercraft be my mortal sacrifice to the book-adaptation gods to bless Leigh Bardugo and Eric Heisserer & crew on their venture!

It can suck being so aware, I wish I was a cucumber.

Seeing a lot of misinformation flying around regarding lesbian flags this year, particularly the pink one, so here’s my attempt to set the record straight!

Please DO NOT promote flag redesigns on this post :)

The current lipstick lesbian flag was created by a terf and thus I will never recognize it or accept it to symbolise my sexuality! I bloody boycott it!

“You will never find peace by trying to figure out everything all at once. That’s a recipe for overthinking, constant rumination and mental exhaustion. Why not choose to blossom instead for just a little bit day by day? Grow the small habits, the small ideas, and the small changes instead for just one step at a time. Cultivate your capacity for mindful awareness by doing just one task at a time and see where those soft bits of choices lead you. Then you can erupt in abundance starting from there.”

There’s no shit hotter than hearing a girl whisper “fuck” as you’re going down on her.
