Guess I have to have one of these

Hi, I'm a Swedish 2D game artist and illustrator. I don't post much of my art here though, I mostly just yapp about whatever I'm currently obsessed with. Usually something to do with narrative art, visual art, queer art, crafts, or folklore.

To find the art I have posted here

Warning that I'm pretty new to actually using Tumblr and don't know what I'm doing. I'm also very dyslexic.

an interesting thing about clothing in late medieval and early modern europe is that, while lower class people generally did wear brightly colored clothing instead of muddy brown clothes, there were very distinct differences in the color of clothing people of different classes wore. clothing was done with all natural dyes, of course, but they were either dyed locally with cheap and easily accessible ingredients, or they were dyed in holland, italy, the ottoman empire, or even further afield using a jealously guarded secret combination of difficult-to-access ingredients, including (crucially) better-quality fixatives. this means that not only did expensive imported fabrics maintain a dark, rich tone much longer than a locally dyed one, which would get a washed out look after a couple of years, but there were also certain colors that a working class farmer literally couldn’t afford to wear, and even though the difference between a cheap local lincoln green and an expensive imported popingay green might seem subtle to us people then seem to have been very sensitive to those differences. that’s also why the colors puritans tended to wear seem uncharacteristically bright to our modern eye—black was such a rich and expensive color that it would be inappropriate to wear to anything other than a portrait sitting, but the colors orange and kendall green were deeply humble in their origins

#it also depends a lot on the material you are trying to dye #different fibers do not take dye equally well

hey did you know that in the finale when Martyn let Apo drink his blood he didn’t know that a vampire could drink a human’s blood without turning them. And as soon as he did he was nervous but immediately willing. He was the one who walked up to her. She asked, and he approached.

He trusted her.

He’s uncomfortable, but he’s not the one who voices overt disgust. That’s Apo. That’s Ren.

And additionally—afterwards, Apo expressed they didn’t like doing that, and would like to avoid it if possible, meanwhile Martyn was reasoning that as long as the humans had food to regen the health and hunger they could keep feeding her.

He was willing to let Apo bite him multiple times if it was at all necessary.

Awkward, but genuine.

Practical, but intimate.

They were gonna take care of her. Martyn was gonna make sure Apo was fed and alright.

No because guys, I think about this all the time

You know that trend where a person starts the clip by threateningly saying that their partner/friend has made something or wants to talk about something and everyone watching has to listen and be nice or else and then they stand in the background and stare intensely at the camera while their cinnamon roll friend/partner do their thing.

Could be tf!aj and tf!melinks with her paintings

Was talking to my dad about the lifespan of different ways to save media and he mentioned that the electromagnetic radiation from an atomic bomb can destroy cassette tapes.

I'm currently thinking about what the consequences of this is for The Magnus Archives universe. If our favorite antichrist archivist were hit by enough electromagnetic radiation (perhaps in a less generally destructive form), would it kill him? Or would it free him from the influence of The Web?

Osteoporosis, Umbreon, Vaporeon, Ostrich, Automobil, Sandwich...

So can we all agree to never call them by their real name? Judging by my feed, they are already to simpeable and must be sillyfied.

Not all of tf!AJ’s past and current love interests having a connection to the blue orchid

tf!Ghostie just told tf!Graecie she loves blue orchids.

tf!Drift’s favorite flower is the blue orchid

The blue orchid is also the flower that brought tf!Ambear back and inspired the name of her dragon, Orchid

Tiny Sharako also joined us on our archipelago tour.

We found her many more ships, a giant mermaid and a nest of what can only be dragon eggs.

(Important note: I asked permission from the museum staff for the pic where she's in the miniature boat. No museum artifacts were harmed during the photshoot.)

#this is so cute #but also #right now all I can think about is how good everything from the got universe could be as muppets adaptations #tiny Sharako #tiny pirate queen

I can't decide whether it's more sweet or more hilarious that Aimsey's chat has fully resorted to rewers/toddler psychology at this point.

"Girl, I'm so hungry right now."

"I should go and eat something."

"I love eating my sandwich."

You know tf!aj must look awful when tf!drift stops pretending to be sarcastic when she talks about how much she cares
