antivan dalish

wander in the desert sun, bundled in layers of dark indigo silk and cotton, feet bound with bandages to keep the rocks from shredding their soles

who are experts at creating salves for cracked and dry skin

whose aravels sail the dunes, pushed and pulled by the wind with sails the color of copper, tangerine, and beige

who worship and fear the rain, who know where to find water-bearing vegetation and hidden springs

can read the wind by the shape, size, and color of sand dunes, who know when a sandstorm is on the way

are adept rock climbers, spending years refining their skills scaling canyons on search of wells and shelter, and can identify the age of rocks by their sediment levels

whose weapons are not made of ironbark, but varghest and quillback and phoenix

who know temperament of the desert, who have a hundred words for storm, thunder, lightning, rain and can tell how far off it is by the taste of the wind

are the best at night navigation, where they can see the stars—their relationship with the constellations is intimate, and they rely on them to travel from one corner of the desert to another

who are violent, raw, and passionate, unpredictable like their environment, harsh like the sun.  who survive because their only alternative is death

Do I owe anyone on this site any art? I left several years ago after severe personal circumstances and I’ve found some mysterious files.

I will absolutely honor any agreements if owed. Just send me a message and I’ll get started. If you’re not the client of one of these images (which I would update to my current standard) I will gladly start your piece ASAP.

I was grimsolas > bethesdahs and now I’m over on @ashfortier

[tehvinter]

To be clear, @ashfortier is my art blog but I’m planning on using this one for video games and fandom stuff.

You can message either account if you need to contact me.

Hope you’ve all been well <3

How to Backup your Tumblr

I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search. 

Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog* 

*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.  Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat. 

I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing: 

1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)

**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted. 

So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes. 

P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.

this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.

Blog Revamp & Construction

was previously: grimsolas > bethesdahs > tehvinter

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about bringing this blog back to life after 2 years, so in the next few days I’ll be deleting old posts and rehauling the tag system (to something I can remember) and general cosmetic fixes.

I know a lot of you don’t remember me and I’ve lost many followers in my hiatus, but hopefully I can recreate the community I had here and find some new friends.
