Hello! I'm Julia (she/her, 1980s child). Illustrator. Occasional writer. I've been on a years-long Baldur's Gate 3 hyperfixation, although you'll still find plenty of Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout, and Critical Role in the past. (And probably future!)

The Companions: After killing my abuser, I just feel hollow. I thought revenge would fulfil me. But really, it’s left me with more complicated feelings.

Finished Astarion commission! 💕

I feel like calling the BG3 playable cast "playersexual" is a bit reductive, because they're more accurately "everyone else in the party-sexual"

[transkingcobra]

“Playersexual” is for when the character(s) has no sexuality ever mentioned, or you get the “I don’t normally date (insert your gender here) but you’re different”

Bg3? All the origins are hot and bothered by each other, most mentioning having previous relationships of various types with various genders.

The player is not special. These bitches are bi/pan. Stop erasing canonical queer representations.

[ghostfire]

"Playersexual" erases so much of the energy that Ed Greenwood poured into the Forgotten Realms to make it gloriously slutty, and I'm not here for it.

Hey guys. Personal update. We found out yesterday that my 6 year old cat is diabetic. I am not making enough money to get and fully support her medication. That's where you the good people of the internet come in. I have set up for mutual aid to get a year worth of meds/bloodwork. If you can help me by sharing, supporting, encouragement, i would be most appreciative.

“Do you support OCs × canon characters” buddy 30% of my conscious mental activity is devoted to that very topic

I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.

IN NEGATIVE TWENTY DEGREES!!!!!

Please spread this around. Don't let ANYONE lie and say my community is anything but ASTONISHINGLY UNITED in rejection of ICE's behavior. This crosses generations, race lines, party lines, class lines. THAT is how bad ICE is. THAT is how bad we want them gone.

THAT is how loudly we are DEMANDING they leave!

Do you understand what a crowd like this means in a small city like Minneapolis??? In weather that hurts to breathe???

Can you imagine what that takes?

Bigger turnout than his inauguration!

[flock-of-cassowaries]

For readers outside the US: Negative twenty in American degrees is -29 Celsius.

I grew up in Canada, and when it was -25 C or below, they wouldn’t let us go outside for recess at school.

Like, everyone had boots and ski mittens and snowpants and winter coats, but still - indoor recess on those days. Cause the risk of frostbite was bad enough to justify everyone spending their lunch break supervising a classroom full of rowdy children.

That kind of cold is viscerally hostile to the human body. Your instincts will scream at you to GO INSIDE. It’s an environment that’s fundamentally physiologically unsafe, and you can feel that.

In the context of that weather, this turnout is even more compelling.

Is there a possibility that you will complete your lovely fanfiction, The Arrangement? (Also, welcome back online. It’s good to see you. 😊)

Yes, my friend! I am truly motivated and I miss Astarion so very much, and finishing The Arrangement is definitely something I want to do. As of right now, I am working on finishing a one shot I have put on hold for almost two years: the loss of virginity one from his POV 😊 (working on it right now btw)
