Sadness. Some dear friends of mine got into a big argument today and I don’t know how to help fix things.

I know some things can’t be fixed except by moving on and leaving the wreckage behind. Sometimes, eventually, new life moves into the wreckage and it becomes an artificial reef: different from what it once was, but alive again and filled with wonder.

Sometimes the wreckage gets buried in sediment, and dug out in a few thousand years. But how could future archaeologists reconstruct a disaster when I’m not even sure exactly what happened and I’m here right now?

Sometimes the wreckage is just abandoned, the ashes blowing away in the wind until you couldn’t tell anything was ever there. I don’t want that to happen.

Sometimes the wreckage isn’t as bad as things look at first glance, and the building can be repaired, healed, even improved. That’s what I’m hoping for, but I don’t know what to do to help that possibility become the reality.

Commissions are Open! I now offer the good and service of digitally-or-traditionally-created art! Prices are in USD.

Will draw: body horror, some gore, furries probably, yes I’ll draw your OCs because they’re beautiful and lovely Would rather not: NSFW or heavy gore - while I will draw these, they will be more expensive, and price is on application.

I accept Paypal and (apart from the pencil sketches) require half-payment upfront, half after I’ve finished drawing.

A reference or two and a description of what you want me to draw would be great before I get started. Links to, say, a Tumblr tag, imgur album or Pinterest board containing art of your character(s) would work fine, too.

You’ll get to see the sketch and request changes, at no extra charge, before I start adding the colour. Obviously, this doesn’t apply for pencil sketches.

If you want something that isn’t on the list of prices I present here, or something more complicated, feel free to email me and ask for a quote!

You’re wonderful, and I hope you have a great day.

[ecchima]

Here are a few more informations you should know :

All prices are listed in USD

Overly complex designs will be simplified (I will check with you that you’re ok with the simplified design)

Light NSFW is ok and means “As long as there is no dick in the picture, it’s ok”

OCs, animals and anthro are OK

I will post your comission on my blog and may use it for my portfolio, if you’re not ok with it, please tell me about it beforehand.

Please, do not use your comission to make money. (If you want to use the picture in a video or something, it would be nice to tell me about it but you don’t have to do it.)

I reserve the right to refuse a comssion if I don’t feel confortable doing it/feel like I don’t have the skills to do it.

Depending on the amount of work I have, a comission can take a month to be done. More if it’s a comic.

There are 3 slots open at the moment;

If you are interested, please email me at [email protected] and, if possible, send me an IM to warn me. I’ll ask you to pay me before I start working on your piece. For big comissions ($70 +), you can pay me half the price beforehand and the second half once I’ve shown you a sketch.

I you have any questions, my ask box is open, thank you for reading ♥

What I love about the bathtub in hell is Aziraphale, surrounded by decay and hatred, Aziraphale, delicate, decadent, leaning back to splash a little, scare them a little, making himself comfortable and everyone else uncomfortable by it. Aziraphale, demanding the embarrassment of homely earthy things like towels and ducks. Aziraphale weaponizing the person he’s become on earth, the person he’s discovered as himself, and doing it deliberately. He is not mortal, but he is human by association, and they have no idea how to deal with that—have never had to defeat laughter in the face of power, and Aziraphale is laughing at them. He is discovering that softness is his strength.

[irish-piece-of-trash-deactivate]

Yes. Because all the demons and angels are so hungry for power and war and domination. That when they are confronted with softness and laughter and gentle mockery, they have no clue what to do with it. And I love the fact that it’s non-violent and and completely unthreatening behaviour, that makes them so afraid.

On the flip side, with Crowley as Aziraphale, I always felt like this was not only Crowley acting how he sees Aziraphale as a person (strong, brave and passionate) but this was a chance for Crowley to release some of that anger and pain and sorrow he still felt after all that time, at being cast out of Heaven.

That moment where he defiantly stands in the hellfire and breathes it out at them to scare Gabriel and the others. It was like saying “Screw you!” on behalf of both himself and Aziraphale.

And of course he relished in making those holier-than-thou archangels scared of Aziraphale, who they had bullied for so long for being soft.

[the-moon-loves-the-sea]

Yes yes yes. They are mimicking each other, but they are also using their own strengths to defend each other.

Busy weekend ahead: double scoop of Mike on RQ Streaming, Helen on Sunday, and trip to the parents’ house to schlep some things around for them while observing exaggerated social distancing. Beginning to look like I’ll need to sacrifice a nap to get it all done.

we’ve gone from the yee haw agenda to the ye olde thot programme

[sapper-in-the-wire-old]

Just so y’all know this is 100% historical

Silks and such were hard to repair on campaign, but still expensive so soldiers tended to try and save the bottom half of pants or sleeves if they got cut and torn. There was lots of different ways to try and salvage them:

You could tie it up with a ribbon, or hastily sew it back on but decoratively like top row forth from the left is, or just stuff it in your boot like the guy above does.

But since the era was a gigantic fashion duel between mercenaries the booty shorts look became it’s own thing (also it was cheaper so very practical for other reasons).

[the-real-skeletor]

Ye olde booty shorts

[preraphaelitepunk]

I have not yet given up on the hunt for proper booty shorts for RQ Mike; however, like the fishnet ones I found, I think these historical booty shorts might border on the inappropriate for gifting to a gentleman I don’t actually know.

[Picture of a post by Alaa Hijazi written on April 3 at 4:31am.

“I thought I was spared the horrid ‘motivational’ phrase going around now ‘If you don’t come out of this with a new skill, you never lacked time, you lacked discipline’ until I saw it on my local yoga studio page.

As a trauma psychologist, I am utterly utterly horrified, enraged, and bewildered about how people can believe and spread this phrase in good conscience.

We are going through a collective trauma, that is bringing us profound grief, loss, panic over livelihoods, panic over loss of lives of loved ones. People’s nervous systems are barely coping with the sense of threat and vigilance for safety, or alternating with feeling numb and frozen and shutting down in response to it all.

People are trying to survive poverty, fear, retriggering of trauma, retriggering of other mental health difficulties. Yet, someone has the nerve to accuse someone of lack of discipline for not learning a new skill, and by a yoga teacher!

This cultural obsession with [capitalistic] ‘productivity’ and always spending time in a ‘productive’ ‘fruitful’ way is absolutely maddening.

What we need is more self compassion, more gentle acceptance of all the difficult emotions coming up for us now, more focus on gentle ways to soothe ourselves and our pain and the pain of loved ones around us, not a whipping by some random fucker making us feel worse about ourselves in the name of ‘motivation’.”]

Just found out the first part of my Rusty Quill merch has shipped! I’m stupidly excited, and cannot wait for the t-shirts and laptop case to be on their way as well. (https://www.redbubble.com/people/RustyQuill/shop)

[preraphaelitepunk]

Tried to go to bed early after a full day of watching streams, and instead I had a dream about breaking quarantine to visit the Brothers Meredith and Amy. For some reason, my parents were also there: Amy helped my mom dye her hair navy blue, and my dad just sat and laughed as we all got increasingly drunk on avation cocktails (the ones with gin and violet liqueur) and drove golf carts around the Satisfactory planet.

We were going to call over Mike and Anil, but the former was still dealing with his disastrous new flat and the latter said he preferred his own cocktails at home to anything tim might make, thank you very much.

Also, for some reason, I had an olive pit up my nose the entire time.

Lessons learned: (1) a full day of RQ and RQ-adjacent streaming can be hazardous to your brain. (2) I’m not going to stop. (3) Rusty Quill folk have indeed taken over my brain and set up house.

My hair now matches my kitchen walls.

[preraphaelitepunk]

Doing a test patch of my new purple hair dye (mainly to see how it’ll come out over my unbleached light ginger hair). Whoever decided to give the dye an overpowering scent of artificial grape, I both salute and despise you.

fave line from 161 feat @officialspec ‘s cool as shit monster jon design

[preraphaelitepunk]

RIP my brain today: just got the Patreon push notification that MAG 161 is up for patreons.

Will not post spoilers, but I am definitely looking forward to Anil’s chill comfort stream later today to recover. I strongly suspect that we will all need our emotional support RQ community manager over the next few days.

A reminder

in light of the imminent release of season 5:

Please remember that they’ve warned us that this season was conceived long before the COVID situation, and some episodes may unintentionally feel uncomfortably close to current events.

Be kind to yourself and exercise caution if you think it may hit too close to home.
