omg do you also love mission impossible? Idk how it happened but I’m obsessed. Especially with the 5th movie
i have always had quiet respect for it but i found Eye of the Duck (a FANTASTIC podcast that finally talks about movies in a way i give a shit about, talking about themes and arcs and shit) and they profiled EVERY MI movie and it just reminded me that yeah MI is the ultimate problematic fave
they're just that fucking good??????? christ they're so good
soft rec for blue eye samurai on netflix. it stars a beautiful lady getting revenge, gorgeously animated & set in 1600s Japan. Fabbb action.

I can’t say for sure that I’ll watch it since I mostly only watch TV with my parents nowadays but thanks nonetheless for thinking of me because it looks very good!!! I will keep it in mind for the upcoming Christmas break 👀👀🙏🏻
happy Valentine’s Day! Percy as the son of Hera? :)

Usually the mark of being Hera’s son is in the strength of his powers rather than in what those powers are. He inherits his father’s abilities and when they’re strong than they should be, if he’s stronger than the children Poseidon has with his wife, he knows that’s something he can attribute to his mother. For a long time, so much of what he is can be explained away by having two godly parents. The kids at camp knows he’s not like them, that he’s a god in his own right, but they think him a minor one, a son of Poseidon and an ocean sprit, perhaps.
He’s training with Annabeth when he discovers something else about himself. He just counts himself lucky that it only happened in front of Annabeth.
Percy jumps to avoid an arrow and his feet don’t touch the ground.
He hovers air, far higher than he should be, and Annabeth stares at him.
He tries to think of something to say, some sort of excuse, and maybe he might have been able to get away with that if it was only this, if this was his first offense.
But Annabeth has seen his every slip up, and this is the thing that makes it all click into place.
He forces himself back on the ground, trying to think of any other goddess he can blame this one, any other one that can fly.
There isn’t one of course.
Zeus rules the skies. The only ones that can enter his domain have his blessing or his permission.
Except for his wife, Hera, who holds dominion over the sky in a way that’s separate from her husband.

Have you had it carmelized?
That doesn’t make me like them any more, unfortunately. I loathe the consistency of cooked onions, I don’t like the smell and the taste of them whether raw or cooked, and, to top it off, I’ve developed a food intolerance against them over the years, so I had to stop eating them for health reasons, anyway. Which was no real loss to me, to be frank, but the intolerance part is extremely frustrating because people cannot STOP overusing them - which has probably only intensified my hatred of them.
Me reading a menu at a restaurant like “which of these meals do have the least amount of onion in them?” And people are real shitty about it too, because it’s not a “real” food allergy. They generally refuse to accomodate me.
I absolutely adore that you’ve drawn Jellicles. Cats is honestly my Favorite thing. 10/10, 💕💕💕

How is your business doing? Would you be willing to share some advice for those looking to start a soap (or other craft) business?
So 2020 was... what it was. Between world events, my pregnancy, car crash, other personal expenses and death of my cat it has been a memorable year for assorted reasons.
It also forced a change on my lifestyle and how I manage both space and time, so there are definitely lessons learned. For one, I could not handle the soap fragrances when I was pregnant because it just set my nausea off something shocking, and then the fatigue later on meant I was not churning out 1 or 2 batches a week like I’d been able to at my peak, and now that I’m fairly well the time constraints of Baby mean I’m still not able to make soap as often as I used to. Firstly one, the fragrances are not good for her, and secondly she doesn’t allow a long enough block of uninterrupted time to make the bars before they set.
Making cold process soap takes a couple of hours from start to finish, including cleanup, and you can’t really stop after you’ve added the lye or it will thicken and set before you’re ready. And finding those chunks of uninterrupted time with Baby has been increasingly impossible, so I’ve had to branch out into similar projects that have different time requirements.
Namely, that has been lip balms and bath/shower bombs. Lip balms take much less time to make, and can be interrupted at any stage and gently re-melted, plus the suppliers are the same and some of the oils are the same. The colorants would be the same if I used them. Bath & Shower bombs use the same fragrances as soap, which is one of the more expensive ingredients, so I am expanding my range based on what I already have in stick. My ultimate plan was to have little gift bundles that included a soap, bath/shower bomb and lip lamp all in complementary flavors/fragrances. Bath and shower bombs don’t ship that well though, so there is my new problem.
So, the business is basically dead in the water unless I can find a regular chunk of time to have the baby minded somewhere away from where I make soap.
But from when I was still going, one of the biggest logistical issues was storage. The cold process soap takes 6 weeks to cure before it should be used, so I have to store it in such a manner that it can continue to dry for that time, and that turned out to be stacks of shelves all up the wall. You need less storage space for things that don’t take as long to make, but you still need to store them somewhere unless you only work on commission.
It’s also important to consider where you are going to sell your product. The pandemic meant I didn’t have the face-to-face markets that I enjoyed most, and frankly going to the post office was a bit of a pain with a newborn around so it became not really worth the effort to ship everything out. Selling niche and gimicky things works better with internet sales but the postage needs some consideration, especially with the exchange rates I was pricing fairly low.
I know it’s taken ages to reply to this, but please let me emphasize just how time-poor I’ve been.
The Old Guard. Nile. The Squad reacts to her (the precious newbie) being captured for the first time.
“You know,” Nile says conversationally, leaning back and bracing herself for the inevitable pain that comes in one sharp burst. “Fuck, you fucker, you know you shouldn’t have- ah, done that.”
As her skin knits itself back together, her captor lowers the gun and goes, “Why, what are you going to do—”
“Worry more about us, because we’ll come for her, you piece of shit,” Andy says, stepping over the dead body before she wraps an arm around Nile’s shoulders and squeezes. “You’re still with me, kid.”
Do you draw for comics as your profession?
no, unfortunately not, I briefly went to college for illustration so I might get into indie graphic novel sorta stuff eventually though lol.
