For anyone who doesn’t know, we grew up living off of Brian Jacque’s Redwall series, which we remember most prominently for 1) its depictions of hope in impossible circumstances, and 2) its vivid and enviable descriptions of the food served at feasts. Well, today, 10-15 years after consuming this entire saga, guess what I found at the library.

It has recipes for everything I ever wanted. Strawberry fizz, Blackberry and Apple Cake, classic Redwall scones. And as if that’s not enough, a note from the author himself:

With all the love in my heart,

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

Tumblr is like our elderly dog and when she makes an especially scary cough we apparently think "oh god it's the big one"

[bogleech]

Havent seen a lot about this on tumblr so maybe not a lot of people know:

He was wrongfully raided by police in 2022

He used footage and names of the specific cops in posts, videos and songs making fun of them

The cops sued for defamation and cried in court about the songs ruining their lives

He won anyway

[wizardarchetypes]

when i worked at cracker barrel (vision darkens for a moment) we all got custom aprons with our names embroidered on them but not for 90 days bc the barrel isn't gonna invest in custom embroidery if you can't hack it. so until you get your own aprons you wear an apron that says 'rising star' on it. the issue being every single other person who works there is wearing aprons with their real names. so every single day for 3 months customers would be like 'can we get a table for 4? thank you, Rising Star. and what an interesting name!'

[wizardarchetypes]

Rising Star would genuinely be a very lovely name but it wasn't mine and I did just think it was funny that the power of the Apron Name had such command.
