HEY RSEK, WHAT’RE U DOIN

hay, been busy with art school mostly! i’m now doing some social media housecleaning: i intend to focus on posting content i’ve made (ie artwork) rather than reposting other ppl’s stuff.

there isn’t anything wrong with reposting per se, but ultimately i want to prioritize my time around creating + sharing stuff i create because that is way more satisfying to me.

to that end, i’m going to:

* unfollow a lot of blogs. nothing personal! but 300+ is wayyy too many :U

* hide/delete a lot of posts. if this breaks a link to artwork somewhere and you want to see it, lemme know and i will hook you up.

* delete certain blogs and reshuffle some urls. don’t worry, catsdoingpeoplethings is safe, because it is already perfect. but the universe doesn’t need another endless stream of reblogged photos, etc.

The Best-Worst Writing Advice You Will Ever Get

I have a writing tip that will probably make your head explode. Yes, explode.

No, really! It’s illogical. It’s counterintuitive. It will make you think that I’m some kind of sad idiot, but stick with me, okay? I promise it will at least make you think about the way you go about writing.

im fucking CRYING someone on the xbox one made their gamertag “xbox sign out” and then they trap people on call of duty so they get angry and yell “xbox sign out! get out of the way!” and if they fuck up REAL good they sign out accidentally. this is the fucking future

Don’t say “I’m not like other girls.”

Be like other girls and meld with other girls and become one with the glorious mass of writhing womanhood that will roll over the towns and the cities and devour all space and all time.

i like how our response to day-to-day shitty events of misogyny/homophobia/etc has officially become this brand of nightmarish surrealism and it genuinely makes me feel better

Things Ashley and Miranda had in common:

an unexpectedly empty schedule

one-woman pity-parties on the Alliance docking bays, interrupted

a Christmas they’d rather be spending elsewhere

little sisters, the kind missed keenly during the holidays

…who sent hideous Christmas sweaters as gifts

"Saw this and thought of you. Mostly because you looked like you might be cold last time we met. -O."

"We decided you needed a new one to go with your promotion. -Abby, Lynn, and Sarah"

a bottle of commiseratory liquor

Christmas, right? goodwill towards creation and all that

Things that surprised Ashley:

that Miranda loosened up when she was off-duty

Miranda was funny, too - more than she gave herself credit for

…but only if you paid close attention to the glitter in her ice-blue eyes

or the dry quirk of her lips

said lips looked really soft

okay, so that wasn’t really surprising, given the genetic engineering

…just something Ashley noticed. totally coincidentally.

just how much Miranda eventually loosened up

Things that surprised Miranda:

more than she normally liked - too many unknowns meant too many variables.

but this wasn’t so bad

maybe it was just that Miranda hadn’t been able to simply kick back for longer than she’d like to admit

a plain-spoken soldier’s taste for poetry, of all things that she found Ashley’s straightforwardness so appealing

but maybe that was what Miranda needed

no Machiavellian schemes, no double-crosses

just a woman who knew precisely who she was, from the muzzle of her rifle to the stanza on her tongue

To thedivinemissema, from rsek

She mentioned several things including her own fic (which I really enjoyed perusing, btw) that sounded really cute to draw and I had trouble deciding on one! But eventually something around F!Brosca x Zevran  - which I hadn’t even really thought about before but THANKS FOR THE NEW SHIP :D) clicked for me and I painted these two cuties. Happy belated holidays!

Oh, and thedivinemissema - if you want the hi-resolution version and/or some desktop or mobile wallpaper made from this, please let me know the details and I can get some to you!

[thedivinemissema]

What this is, in essence, is yet another perpetuation of the Fake Geek Girl argument: a deeply sexist panic at the idea that, even when they’re reading dystopian novels, watching comic movies and learning archery for fun, ‘regular’ girls can’t really be true fans of real SFF, because their enjoyment of other, more mainstream activities – or, far more often, their possession of conventionally attractive looks – invariably marks them out as dilettantes only feigning nerdness in order to drive boys crazy. In making this distinction, all Mallonee has done is shift the accusation of dilettantism to the (again, female) creators of modern YA novels: they’re not writing real SFF, like Ray Bradbury did – just popular, pretendy SFF for cheerleaders and pretty girls to read.

the idea of people having to be ‘useful’ is just so gross, like people do not exist to be used

having to produce something and have a use is a capitalist ideal and not an intrinsic part of humanity

just by being alive you are human and you are worth something and you can never be useless
