Tumblr, especially user lexdelioncourt, reminded me that the first chapter of the legendary fanfic classic "My Immortal" was published TWENTY YEARS AGO today. And if someone told me that the mysterious author was Anne Rice, I'd believe it.

What Not Reading Does to Your Writing More thoughts on "TV brain prose" and why reading is, yes, useful for your writing.

Since everyone is (sigh) debating if writers benefit from reading books, I dissected a passage shared as “evidence” that non-readers can write great prose: countercraft.substack.com/p/what-not-r...

Quick warning yall I bought the bundle and the items are all arriving separately because they're print on demand with really really bad quality. The logo on the socks is even upside down on the front facing side of the socks.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

How awful it is when you're lowkey obsessed with your own ocs... I gotta make all the content for myself God just Kill Me already

i made a guide on how to write, draw, and print a doujinshi/fanzine/whatever you want to call it.

this is a crash course on literally everything i know about making doujinshi. it's over 40 pages long. i hope you like it.

a painting of Critical Role characters Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast, based on the Rider-Waite Tarot's The Devil. it is styled like a square painting on a vertically oriented tan canvas, with narrow unpainted strips above and below it. a looping leaning script reads "XV" above and "The Devil" below. Essek is a dark elf with gray-lavender skin and short white hair, dressed in elegant long dark robes and a silvery metal mantle piece, with the breastplate shaped like a beetle's back and long spikes curving off of his shoulders, radiating from his neck. Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human, with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a gray tunic with a brown leather coat over it, a thick scarf wrapped around his shoulders. his spell book is just slightly visible at his side. the characters are facing each other, with Essek standing on the left and Caleb on the right. their right hands are raised between them, hovering under and over a floating hourglass that Essek is offering to Caleb; the violet sand in it is equally distributed between the top and the bottom halves and is not flowing down. Essek has his chin raised with a cool expression of confidence, while Caleb is looking at the hourglass with a deeply conflicted face, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes shining. Caleb's left arm down at his side is engulfed in orange flames. above them is the dodecahedron shape of a Beacon, pale gray and iridescent; the pentagonal plane facing the viewer is oriented with one of the corners pointing straight down. six silvery threads weave around it, intersecting at nine shining points, one thread each passing behind Essek's and Caleb's heads, and one each wrapping loosely around them. their figures, dark purple and brown, illuminated by the faint glow of the hourglass and the flame, are silhouetted against a much lighter gray and overcast light spilling from tall pointed arches behind them.

finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

a semi-realistic painterly re-draw of a still from Mighty Nein Animated, depicting Caleb Widogast kneeling in the foreground and looking up at Essek Thelyss, who has just landed on a pile of debris further into the composition, his silhouette stark against the night sky. Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a dark cloak, a patched-up coat underneath it and a long scarf. he is mostly turned away from the viewer, but surprise is clear on his face. Essek is an elf, which is apparent from his long pointed ears, but his body is otherwise obscured. he is depicted wearing dark shiny armor, organic and insectoid in its design. the helmet looks like the face of a cricket, with large glowing almond-shaped eye holes and spiky horns reminiscent of a stag beetle's. the breastplate looks like a beetle's elytra, and the slightly translucent iridescent double cape whipping in the wind behind him appears to be similar to an earwig's fan-like wings. the characters are framed with the remains of a destroyed wall and the floor above, and the night's starry sky looks light in comparison to their shaded figures.

The Spectre 13

How To Develop Good Taste, Pt. 1 — Die, Workwear! Marcel Duchamp once noted in a 1968 interview with Francis Roberts, “If your choice enters into it, then taste is involved—bad taste, good taste, uninteresting taste.” For those fortunate enough to live in post-industrial societies, where choices are now nearly limitless, taste is everything. Taste shapes what we purchase, the cultural artifacts we consume, how [...]Read More...

anyway, if you're interested, here's my view on taste. it's both exclusive and inclusive. just like there are many different languages, i think there are many aesthetics, none necessarily better than the other, although better ways to express each
