She watched as they rose up and up to be swallowed by the sun, so brilliant for a moment that her vision fractured with tears, and even then, she did not close her eyes.

dont want to turn reblogs on for my last post but I think that post makes it extremely clear that the answer to any question along the lines of ‘lizard how do you come up with ideas’ is ‘blender. In my brain.’

Me in my newsletter: I’m DONE writing!! I’m TAKING A BREAK!!!

me, not even a day later: ok but like. Imagine if you were an android on a solarpunk world being slowly overtaken by an intelligent lichen/fungus and you regularly participated in a robot fight ring for fun and were in a situationship with a freighter that really wants you to infect it with your lichen/fungus in a totally normal way haha

also the ending would be to the vibes of the song that plays at the end of Orlando you know the one

VIII Strength redraw

[privatejoker]

it's okay to draw for glory. don't let anyone convince you that art has to be a hobby. you don't have to rest or take breaks. if you feel yourself hitting a wall feel free to lose sleep over the process. you can forgo friendship if you need to. it's completely fine to want to want your art to win you immortality through your influence and canonization as a master. you don't have to take it easy

[jsong0-0]

I don't know what I'm drawing.😇

[excavatinglizard]

Ever since I posted that poll I’ve been getting recommended posts with the chem tag (yes I use the for you tab shoot me I’m sorry it’s habit) which would be fine but it’s all like. 15yos asking what a line of best fit is and bemoaning solubility rules. Like the GCSE aura is so strong I cannot even tell you. Release me.

He's worried about stepping on flowers. He loves nature.

Wow thanks everyone ;v;

Mini lore snippet lol: at first I just doodled the cat alone in the middle of a page, but I loved him so much I just turned the page and drew the whole thing. He's so great.

been messing with the colours yesterday

[excavatinglizard]

‘We need to be recognizable so keep the colour scheme, but we can’t be infringing on the TM, so uhhhhhhhh uhhh sans serif font. Lots and lots of dead space. Does anyone know what fonts are? Ok little jimmy says he can use PowerPoint, is calibri ok? That was the default so it must be a good font. Yeah remember the dead space, we want to make sure people can see the blue. What no one mentioned that using that style of J would break up the alignment of the logo? What do you mean it looks cheap? Graphic design is our passion? You bet it is’

[werewolfetone]

Speaking of books it's been a while since I've seen one of these posts going around & I'm curious so everyone could you tell me what you are reading rn in the tags please

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀

The database can be filtered by representation, subgenre, whether the book is currently in print, and more; additionally, it includes my own ratings & brief thoughts on the ones i have read, if anyone needs a suggestion on places to start! (or feel free to shoot me an ask for a more personalized recommendation)

my spread from @glimmr-mag 's second volume ! The theme was "mirror" and I took that a little literally for the composition lol.

The Bramble and the Rose

Second sword-embroidery, this time with roses and (?) blueberries.

(I'm not as happy with this one as the other - I think the foliage looks a bit too yellowish and the sword disappears because of it.)

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.
