I recently made a little sticker from a painting I did for a dear friend or a California Wildflower Poppy! You can grab one on Etsy or My Website! I think it turned out really cute and I'm going to put one on my laptop, water bottle, iPad, and maybe even my car tbh.

A WIP in its ugliest stage apparently.

**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review of this book**

“Convince yourself this was a lapse of judgement. But Gwen, I’ll be here when you’re ready to lapse again.” Graham Graves is one of those possessive book boyfriends who gives us everything we love. He’s the epitome of “she’s mine” and “touch her and you die” energy. 

Julie Johnson has an absolutely eloquent way with words. Her main character, Gwendolyn Goode, has a loquacious inner dialogue really stands out. Her voice firmly cements you as a reader in her world as a successful small business owner who grew up neglected and abused. Gwen is a character who armors herself in designer clothes and maintains a perpetual “every thing is fine” attitude. However, she remains as closed off as a knight who’s vowed celibacy to protect the kingdom, never letting anyone get close enough to hurt her. Graham Graves sees right through her facade, and is willing to fight tooth and nail to be the one to break down those walls. Luckily, they’re forced into each other's close proximity as he’s a Fixer (Private Investigator) working closely with the Police Department to solve a string of brutal animal sacrifices. It all gruesomely points to her being the next victim. It’s a thrilling mystery that had me completely entertained when the angsty-romantic stuff took a breather. And I can’t forget the killer playlist to listen to printed at the end of the book!

If you don’t appreciate blatant disregard of how actual crime scenes probably work, and miscommunication tropes, especially when it’s because the Main Character is so ambivalent to the love interest that she’ll not tell him a single thing that would help him protect her. You might want to avoid this read. Though, It does make for quite a delicious amount of angst and drama. 

Overall, I really enjoyed Julie Johnson’s book and I’ll definitely be looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

Here’s a sneak peak of a little reylo illustration I’m making for fun. I’m trying to figure out a background at the moment, any suggestions?

My art got stolen again and the thieves made over 600 sales. I’m linking places you can buy my art, where I barely make 10-20 sales a month. Please shop here instead. If you see this please reblog to help fight Tumblr’s algorithm against links. I’m just a small artist trying to pay rent during the pandemic. Thanks!

I’m going through my art folders (I also just rewatched avatar recently so i’m in a mood lol) and figured I could post this old piece that was made for a kataang zine that never quite got published! I had fun working on it, and it doesn’t make sense to keep it to myself anymore

That’s not quite true. The reporter behind the story, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was murdered.

After mass protests, the Prime Minister of Iceland was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.

After mass protests, the President of Pakistan was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.

Worldwide, hundreds of people – many rich and powerful – were arrested.

Billions in stolen assets were returned to the people.

And 82 countries changed their laws to crack down on the wealth hoarding the papers revealed.

(Source here)

To say the Panama Papers accomplished nothing is an insult to Daphne Galizia’s memory. Her work, and the work of the hundreds of other journalists who contributed to the Papers, changed the world.

Disinformation like this is designed to discourage you, to make you feel you’re powerless against the monsters of the world. They want you to feel that way, because they are terrified of your power to make change.

Take your power back. Demand better. Keep fighting for a better world, because a better world is possible.

One really dangerous trend I see among progressives is a strong readiness to give in to cynicism and helplessness. Recognizing oppression and injustice is the first step. The next step is learning what you can do about it and taking action.
