Queen of Imaginary Beasts

Random thoughts about life's greatest questions, like why I keep running out of bookshelves

Heather on the Hill has me in its GRIP.

Do I have a story? No. Do I want a new DnD character with this even if it’s cliche?

Everyone once in a while I read the description of the scar Theisman got in the battle of Seabring and I just think,

...you people wear helmets.

Like, wtf happened. How close a call was that?

That’s SO cool to see it explained

Something like this made its way into european music in flamenco via gitanos/romani people whose origin was ultimately in india

Aragorn, the Chieftain of the Dúnedain

I based the Northern Dúnedain dress mainly on ancient Turkic peoples of the Eurasian Steppe and Late Romans, since I see Arnor as the Western Rome to Gondor's Eastern Rome, but the Northern Dúnedain have long been nomads in a cold climate. There's also a bit of medieval Egyptian and Iron Age Baltic influences.

One last doodle for the weekend.  I don’t think this is really canon for my beauty and the beast in space story, but I like this kind of kiss, don’t you?  That thing where one of them is making it harder than it has to be, so the other one simplifies things.  Yes. <3

Check out my batbinspace tag for more!  G’night, my lovelies <3

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.

Op I’d like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time I’ve read it I’ve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.

There’s a pretty famous Tweet that goes around from someone’s therapist, who told her “You can’t do your best all the time. If you did, it would be your normal.”

That…yeah. Rewired me a little.

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

[quinnception]

This post is no more than two days old as of June 3rd, 2026. All of these blogs were nuked in two days or less.

@staff @support @changes @tumblr

we made a huge stink about the reblog change and they reversed it after a week. we need to give that same energy to this

the first pride was a riot. where's that energy when our sisters are literally being silenced?
