it’s a shame more vampire media doesn’t pull from vampire bat behavior because they’re such sweeties. they can only survive their incredibly specialized diet because bats will share blood with colony members that didn’t find a meal! there’s evidence that suggests the donors sometimes initiate this behavior themselves by approaching hungry bats! the colonies are mostly harems of females with a few males but they’ve been observed letting unrelated males in when it gets cold so they can all stay warm! cute little social critters!

americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those

there's no greater betrayal than finally starting to read a book you've had sitting for months on your shelf or your desk or your nightstand and then finding out it's bad. like. i gave you a fucking home.

recently discovered something even worse: finally reading a book you bought years ago and realizing that you don't like it and knowing that if you read it around the time that you got it you would've loved it but the version of you that liked those kinds of books and would have loved to read it doesn't exist anymore

the problem with musicians is how they're always touring their latest album instead of like their critically hated second album from 2009 which is the one i'm obsessed with

When Daeron said Aerion was a glad child, this was all I could imagine, still a menace but it was probably cuter when he was little

Going on a Quest 🌟 (2.0) [PRINTS]

Some of you may remember a different version of this artwork I posted about a year ago and used to sell prints of. The reason I took down that illustration is because I was contacted by another artist, who was concerned about it's similarity to a piece they made a few years ago. I had been very inspired by that work and it had been one of the main pieces on my pinterest inspiration board. However I did not fully realize just how many elements of their illustration I took direct inspiration from, ultimately creating a piece that was very similar in both composition and color. While the depiction in both works were different, when the two pieces were held side by side and viewed from a distance, they were hard to tell apart.

I took that artwork down and started working on this new version which I'm hoping more accurately shows my own artistic vision! You might still see the other version of this work floating around somewhere online, as it has been reposted by a few people without my permission. If you've reposted that work I kindly ask you to take it down, as I don't want to cause any more issues for this other artist💛
