RIP Bill the Ranger. She adventured valiantly for two months before disappearing into the wilds of discarded campaigns.

watching LOTR again and the dichotomy of Aragorn is still amazing to me, he's all quiet and noble and honourable and soft-spoken and he sings and recites poetry, just keeps to himself, doesn't want any trouble, doesn't bother anybody... and then there's a fight and he just goes absolutely feral, he charges straight to the front line and he's yelling battle cries and using every single one of his seventy-three weapons he carries and throwing himself at his enemies without any regard for risks or odds or personal or public safety

then after the battle he very calmly cleans his sword and sits down in a qiuet spot and takes out his notebook so he can finish composing his sonnet

he's completely unhinged and I love him so much

I always get so excited when I get a Netgalley ARC then am crushed when it's disappointing 😭

And like, I really really wanna leave a great review but….

“…the neat sorting-out of books into age-groups, so dear to publishers, has only a very sketchy relation with the habits of any real readers. Those of us who are blamed when old for reading childish books were blamed when children for reading books too old for us. No reader worth his salt trots along in obedience to a time-table.”

— C.S. Lewis (via rj-anderson)

Jacques-Louis David's painting of Napoleon Crossing the Alps crossed my mind when reading the final chapters of kingdom of Ash , so figured it was a good excuse for a painting study.

The longest I have ever spent on a digital work, but also the most I have ever learnt from working on one project.

150+hours.

Raised by a family of blacksmiths, Karin geeks out over technology like her rifle, which she uses to great effect in battle.
