Obviously I’ve just been going about my business elsewhere, but I have been dipping my toes back into tumblr and with the slightly relaxed TOS and twitter being in a doom spiral and all, figured it was a good time to point people to my new art blog:
@serenityfails-art <~ wow lookie here
It’s been slow going-- I basically didn’t draw at all for a couple of years, changed jobs, did some therapy, etc etc blah blah, but I’m trying to get back into it more regularly now.
tumblr’s doing an oopsie, so I’m working on backing up my content/covering my ass, but in case you’re abandoning ship, I’ve started up an art twitter. It’s going to be quiet for now since I’m still on sort-of-hiatus, but it’ll be there if I need it in the future, I guess!
Slightly less quiet on my art twitter since I’ve been getting into Critical Role... There are new drawings up there right now, as well as links to some older stuff that I’m working on backing up. :>
is there a place to find your nsfw alistair works?
Not yet, but stay tuned. I want to try to get some of my Alistair art on AO3 by tonight, I’ll be working on that after I get off work this afternoon. I think I’m going to do separate works for my Alistair/Tabris stuff, one for Zevran/Alistair/Tabris, and one for the Zevran/Alistair drawing I’m still very fond of. I’m also gonna try to get my Zevran/Brosca stuff up later this evening.
Continuing to back up stuff in anticipation of The Purge, click through for a chaptered collection of my NSFW Nathaniel/Velanna drawings over the years archived on AO3. <3
I just started a twitter for art, @starscollected, though it’s still empty right now. I also have an art instagram, @serenityfails. I’m kind of bad at using instagram reliably, but there’s some stuff on it. I created a pillowfort just in case that takes off, if anyone has an acct there I’m serenityfails there as well. It’s just one post of me being confused by pillowfort.
We couldn't bring the columns down We couldn't destroy a single one And history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first
Black Sun - Death Cab for Cutie
There is whiskey in the water And there is death upon the vine There is fear in the eyes of your father And there is "yours" and there is "mine" There is a desert veiled in pavement And there's a city of seven hills All our debris flows to the ocean To meet again, I hope it will How could something so fair be so cruel When this black sun revolved around you?

Three Hits - Indigo Girls

Just One Yesterday - Fall Out Boy
If I spilled my guts The world would never look at you the same way And now I’m here to give you all of my love So I can watch your face as I take it all away If heaven’s grief brings hell’s reign Then I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday (I know I’m bad news) For just one yesterday (I saved it all for you) I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
Cliquot - Beirut
Set fire to foundation and burn out the station You'll never get nothing of mine The pane of my window will flicker and billow I won't leave a stitching behind Oh, what melody will lead my lover from his bed? What melody will see him in my arms again?
Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men
You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you Now we're torn, torn, torn apart There's nothing we can do Just let me go, we'll meet again soon Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep Don't listen to a word I say The screams all sound the same Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
The Bones of You - Elbow
And I dealt with this years ago I took a hammer to every memento But image on image like beads on a rosary Pull through my head as the music takes hold And the sickener hits: I can work 'til I break But I love the bones of you That I will never escape

What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest friend For this Thy dying sorrow Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever And should I fainting be Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love for Thee
If you embed images on AO3, you might have noticed that wide images like covers extend past the screen width on smaller mobile devices. To view the whole image, a reader has to scroll to the right.
There’s an easy fix for this. Go to Skins –> My Work Skins –> Create Work Skin (or edit your existing skin). Enter the following:
#workskin img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
This sets your image’s maximum possible width as the width of the element that contains it. So if the image is 800px wide, but its parent is just 600px wide, the image will adjust to fit. Setting the height to adjust automatically ensures the image ratio is maintained.
Bulk-apply the work skin or just edit the fics with embedded art. If you need help with this, let me know!
ETA: I edited the explanation for why this works so it was more precise, but I wanted to say you can also use this technique on your tumblr theme, if you have elements that extend past their parents. You might have to play around to get it working. Feel free to message me if you get stuck.
