Hello, and thanks for tagging me!

3. Currently watching: mostly random YouTube videos as I’m working on my embroidery.
4. Currently reading: mostly memoirs from napoleonic era.

6. Currently working on
This. I’m continuing embroidering my Napoleonic marshal uniform
7. Last Google search: Royal Navy 1795 waistcoat pattern 👀

Tagging: @the-symphony-of-lydia-brown @thisisnoplaceofhonour @amypihcs @credo--ergo-sum @leadandblood @krakajici-kavka @bbmymo
No pressure!
1. Last song: BLACK RAINBOW by Grim Salvo & Witch house 40k. Not my usual style but my friend showed me them and it lowk slaps. I like how they play with their genres and mix them and the contrast of melody and roughness. Lyrics are also quite nice if goofily edgy at times.
2. Favorite colours: The combination of grey and orange... Augh. When the values are just right, the gray becomes so warm and tasty due to the nearby orange.
3. Currently watching: Destroying a World That Doesn't Exist. I did finish it recently, I just don't watch many things. I'm also listening to the Magnus Archives in chronological order.
4. Currently reading: Korppien kehä, Six of Crows in Finnish. Also, od Moderny k funkcionalismu (about architecture of Prague)
5. Current obsession: Our Minecraft server with the Claws of Berk and Archipelago Additions mod pack. Dragons.... So many dragons.. in Minecraft... They are so cool......
6. Working on: A crochet witch hat for the summer. I made one already but it looks sucks to wear. This one is from more straw-like yarn. ("Yarn" aka old string I found that's older than I am)
7. Last Google search: "Joke's on you I'm into that shit skeletor"
8. Desktop/phone background:
On desktop, my wallpapers switch randomly between images in a specific folder. It's mostly videogame themed :) a lot of Hollow Knight and such.
On my phone, I have this amazing piece of art by @moth-time . It's not currently visible as I'm using the Minimalist Phone app which makes my phone intentionally look and work as boring as possible :( but it's really cool
@antoniosos @eastern-lights @kejklir @eggcellentpufferfish @kataastrofa @toby-jester-emoji and whoever else sees this and wants to join!! No pressure :D
Thank you so much @ofmiceandwomen for tagging me! (Reblogging from this addition because why not, you were faster than me Eli)
Last song: "Snakes" by Bob Berg - I literally just listened to it like a minute before writing this!
2. Favourite colours: Currently really enjoying the pairwise combinations of purple, orange, and green. Red is nice also. But purple and orange are the two main ones, long-term.
3. Currently watching: Random YouTube videos also. I don't really watch series anymore, except whenever the Technical Difficulties put something out, and the odd Life Series here and there (which I haven't been finishing for the last few seasons, sadly). I just watched two old episodes of Two Of These People Are Lying by Techdiff.
4. Currently reading: The Gift by Marcel Mauss. Still.
5. Current obsession: Yes! Our dragon Minecraft server! OLEANDRA !!!!! She is my character in that server and she's so adorable and absolutely pathetic, I love her. Also Tish, my character from a Daggerheart campaign, she's also very adorable and not pathetic at all, and I also love her !!!! I love to ramble about my OCs sorry
(Image descriptions and transcription of my terrible handwriting are in the alt texts.)
6. Currently working on: My C++ school project, which is a rule-based word generator and sound change applier for conlanging, due in like three weeks. Oops. Also My crochet doll of Tillie (another one of my OCs which I'm absolutely obsessed with) but I've been putting of the hair on that one for quite some time. That one doesn't have a due date, but I would like to have it finished by the same day the C++ project is due, because that's the day we're leaving for the Netherlands and I want to take Tills to Tilburg
7. Last Google search: so long ago I don't remember it. Sorry, that was pedantic. Old habits die hard. The last thing I DuckDuckWent tho is "Correnteza Minecraft" because I have my Minecraft set to Portuguese and don't know what any of the enchantments are. Turns out Correnteza is Riptide.
8. Desktop / Phone background: On my desktop, I have the default wallpaper that came with Fedora Linux when I installed it. Fedora changes the default wallpaper with every update, but I liked the first one so I changed it back to that one.
(Image description is in the alt text again.)
On my phone, I have a photo of one of the worst and creepiest teachers that I've ever had in high school, holding the shoulder of one of my classmates. I put it there as a joke at my first Festival Fantazie (which was. like maybe five? years ago? How many times have we been there aaa), and just never changed it back. I'm not sharing that one for obvious reasons.
Pressurelessly sending this over to @sart7alex @takovy-maly-snecek @slecnaztemnot @roseycanvas @sombraglaze @softservesoymilk @green-tea-crow @comfortable-scarecrow @luzi-o @transmasc-wheatley @godisapan, within whatever's possible for you of course, and anyone else that finds this and wants to join in!
1. Last song: Am Hafen brennt noch Licht - Max Richard Leßmann
2. Favourite colours: mint green
3. Currently watching: a let's play series of Baldur's Gate where the youtuber speaks Na'vi (the language from Avatar) the whole time (the youtuber is Tekre https://www.youtube.com/@tekre6473 if you want to hear a fluently spoken conlang :D)
4. Currently reading: (oh man I always read a lot of books at once)
Jantarové oči - Vilma Kadlečková: Czech scifi, I'm not so far in rn but it's alright
Erec - Hartmann von Aue (bilingual edition in Middle High German + Modern German): Medieval poetry yay! I'm only a few pages in but drama starts right from the beginning...
The Last Wish - Andrzej Sapkowski (rereading in English and as an audiobook): I'm enjoying rereading this, the audiobook narrator I'm listening to is super good at doing voices for characters!
Still Life with Feeding Snake - John Burnside: A book of modern Scottish poetry by John Burnside. I really enjoy his work, he has a way of capturing moments in very intimate detail and using English in ways that remind me the language isn't just the no-man's international language I usually think of it as
5. Current obsession: Languages, as always...currently on a Na'vi kick again :D
6. Working on: Making a searchable Old Irish dictionary for use with Quinn's workbook of Old Irish. Hopefully I'll have the confidence to put it online at some point
7. Last google search: "old church slavonic "že""
8. Desktop/phone background: My desktop is just the default, I never got around to changing it. My phone background is some bathroom graffiti I saw that says "THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR MANKIND"
Aaaaa I forgot to tag anyone
@no-destiel-spoilers-pls @longcovidrat @abrica-bang @vampirejuno @the-symphony-of-lydia-brown andddd anyone else who wants to!
Thank you both @ofmiceandwomen and @comfortable-scarecrow for tagging me!
Last song: Ahh, I don't know. Probably a string quartet i used to test my laptop speakers. Or Three Kobolds in a Trenchcoat. I did play Never Gonna Give You Up on my tin whistle since.?
2. Favourite colours: so many specific shades. Warm browns, burgundy red, saffron yellow, various gold-oranges, dark forest green, pastel light green, navy blue, lilac, lavender, light gray. Also metallic silver and gold and rose gold, off-white, ink black (the darker the better), and I'm probably forgetting some.
3. Currently watching: Finished Frieren recently.
4. Currently reading: Edward Albee's plays, an article on language acquisition
5. Current obsession: Sort of in between those right now, but I am spending some time being normal (actually being normal) about Murderbot. Ah yes, that also belongs in Currently reading.
6. Working on: Augh so many things. I would really like to fix my schedule for the summer, try improving my drawing skills, learn barre chords on the guitar, write fic. Instead I struggle against Microsoft Teams. Like an astronaut. Also: finally releasing this post into the wild.
7. Last Recent google search: The Owl and The Nightingale, someone from class told us about this medieval poem and I wanted to know more.
8. Desktop/phone background: both crude digital drawings of butterflies, one done in MS Paint. Both mine. Also, I got into the habit of putting my timetable on my lockscreens.
Tagging: @commodusindadomus, @thisisnoplaceofhonour, @dreamingthroughthenoise, @asianbutnotjapanese, @mersilisk, @ailathemoodentity, @nervousscissorsgoopthing, @sincerelyjennie and also you if you so wish. No pressure!

“I don’t do math because I’m gay” “the gays can’t do math” “If I explain math on tumblr I’ll lose my gay card” all of you apologize to Alan Turing right now
The “+” in LGBTQ+ is for math.
It’s literally been years since anyone added something slightly clever or original to this post, so I would like to congratulate you and maybe even bestow some kind of award. I don’t have anything to give you though
It was simple addition, really.
New redesign of Maedhros! I kept his father's eyes, lips and face shape, other is from his mom. What do you think?
chose a hill but i won't die on it. feel free to come and be killed on my hill
Friend: swear on your life you won't tell anyone.
Me: oh no, sorry brother, I can't do that.
Friend: ...
Friend: what? Why?
Me: religious reasons.
Friend: and by religious, you mean...?
Me: the Silmarillion, yes
Duckduckgo is doing a poll on whether people want A'I' or not, vote here:
Big Tech doesn't care if you want AI or not. They should.
It's currently at about 91% for NO, so let's help it out a bit and see if we can't pump that number up.
Just to REALLY drive the point home.
merry the fellowship leaves rivendell day to all who celebrate it
This year I participated in a community Secret Santa event - Gyftmas 2025 - first time I did this one, was a lot of fun ^__^
Ironically I got an imp I actually have known for a while. 'Em folks who have followed the Bar comic will recognsise that big fellow. So straight to the point: clears throat Merry Gyftmas, @maya-tl !
I'm very glad I ended up with santaing for you and thus and had a nice opportunity again to draw your best boi. I really like his new outfit and hope I got everything right and nicely. ^^
