You can tell we’re getting to the sharp end of the academic year because it’s 1.50am and I can’t log into my uni’s remote desktop to access the statistics software because it’s too busy.

I have night shifts on placement this week so I’m staying up until past 3am on purpose. I assumed it would be quiet but clearly not, oh well. I’m hoping to write up my dissertation in the quiet moments on my night shifts, but maybe I’ll have to put more effort in next weekend

Another lineart that has been sitting on my ipad for far too long. It's a little meh. But finished is better than perfect! Very happy this is finally "done." Like, holy ship dude.

Spent yesterday drawing the Gay Icon of Our Time™ Tracer. First attempt of lineless art and I’m kinda proud at how she turned out 😄

Random TV Rec: The Handmaid’s Tale is really good. I should’ve read the book but never did and that worked out great since I can now enjoy the show spoiler free. Procrastination FTW.

I'm a fan of fantasy/sci-fi (as long as it doesn't get bogged down in politics) and horror :) the weirder the better! And I particularly enjoy unconventional female or non-human leads (but really I'll read pretty much anything).

White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi is a very weird horror novel (and I personally wasn’t a huge fan of it because it was so weird), but if you’re into that then you should check it out. It really is an amazing book, it just wasn’t for me. It’s extremely experimental, playing around not only with horror as a genre but also the conventions of novels. There’s some pretty cool stuff in there (also, it’s one of the few books I’ve seen where white is an evil colour - there’s a lot of discourse about imperialism and white supremacy which is very interesting).   

Heap House by Edward Carey is also very weird. Again, wasn’t a huge fan of it because of its weirdness, but the ending for this one was amazing (good enough that I’ll be picking up the sequel even though I didn’t enjoy this one that much). The story follows the Iremongers who are an old english family who own the rubbish dumps of London, which is basically their little realm that they never leave. Every one of them has an object they’re given at birth that they carry around with them for their whole lives, from a bath plug to a doily, and lo and behold, our main character can hear the objects talking, and no one knows why. 

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is an amazing horror novel and the writing is absolutely beautiful. I really loved this one. It’s pretty standard horror, but the writing is just so atmospheric and wonderful, and just read this one it’s great. 

Pond Scum by Alan Silberberg is another unique read. I read this one a long time ago, so the details are pretty fuzzy, but it’s a middle grade fantasy read about this boy who moves into an old house. There are talking animals with a vendetta against humankind, and it’s great. 

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente is incredibly imaginative. It takes mythical creatures from all sorts of cultures - from marids to golems to pookas - and throws them into the wonderful world that is fairyland. Honestly such a great read. 

The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury is an Aladdin retelling, told from the point of view of a genderbent jinni. Don’t let the goodreads summary/cover fool you - this is not just some cheesy romance. The writing and worldbuilding in this book are amazing, and overall it’s just so good.
