National Park Service to announce long awaited Isle Royale wolf plan

June 7, 2018 - National Park Service will transport two dozen to the island in hopes they’ll curb starving moose population.

In an unprecedented effort to restore balance between predator and prey, the National Park Service and wildlife officials around the Great Lakes this fall will begin trapping and shipping the first of some two dozen wolves to Isle Royale, where their numbers have dwindled to two.

“My pen falters, then falls from my knuckly grip, leaving a worm’s trail of ink across Fedwren’s paper. I have spoiled another leaf of the fine stuff, in what I suspect is a futile endeavour. I wonder if I can write this history, or if on every page there will be some sneaking show of a bitterness I thought long dead. I think myself cured of all spite, but when I touch pen to paper, the hurt of a boy bleeds out with the sea-spawned ink, until I suspect each carefully formed black letter scabs over some ancient scarlet wound.”

— Assassin’s Apprentice (Robin Hobb)

The Farseers are a mafia family. The boss uses his grandson to control his son who went straight. The boy is being prepared for a life of crime. He runs different errands, often in a circus the mafia uses for money laundering. There he befriends a small pale clown....

That's how I imagine Robin Hobb modern AU 🤡 I'm intending to draw more illustrations set in this universe, especially if someone shows interest.

Top 10 worst RotE covers

Since I have apparently nothing better to do, I decided to rank the 10 worst covers for the Realm of the Elderlings series. Honestly, 99% of official covers are whitewashed so they’re almost all bad, but some of them have a little something more.

10. Assassin’s Apprentice (US)

Fitz in the books: dark skin, dark eyes, curly hair Publisher: Timothée Chalamet

(this one goes out to all the whitewashed covers featuring the same generic-looking white boy)

9. Royal Assassin (Czech)

so obviously no one read the book, and the person in charge just went for the first random fantasy illustration featuring a king they could find

8. Assassin’s Apprentice (Dutch)

the piercing blue gaze, the hairstyle, the howling wolf… this looks like the album art for an 80s soft rock band

7. Dragon Keeper (French)

they read “serpent” and just stopped there

6. Fool’s Assassin (French)

this looks like something taken from the catalogue of a cheap medieval costume store (also Bee is all grown up and holding a crystal ball..?)

5. The Mad Ship (audiobook)

hilarious photoshop edit that looks somehow weirder the longer you look at it. is this guy holding his sword the wrong way? what is he hanging from? why 2 different backgrounds??
