#craving a wuxia type story of a travelling bard that has a reputation of being cursed or working with demons#but shes just nosy and pisses people off on purpose to make them drop their guards so she can upend their whole world n find rot underneath#and she does this while being sloppy and poorly mannered on purpose#but also extremely badass and elegant when she needs to get shit done#and she ALWAYS makes a fucking Entrance wherever she goes#shes the bad guy#most people know if you let her into your village she'll bring destruction in her wake#but the people who REALLY know know that the change she brings is usually for the better#like the death tarot card#.........HEY SOMEBODY WITH MORE TALENT THAN ME- (via @spookymodernjazz)
HELP I NEED THIS TOO

*blinks* Well, this is by far the most popular thing I've ever put on this site. Wow, I was not expecting this degree of enthusiasm! If someone would like one for themselves, I'm happy to discuss leatherworking commissions, or if people have questions, let me know and I'll do my best to field them.
I'll try to track messages on here, but my professional email's the safest bet if you would like one of your own - nicolec @ artofnicolecardiff . com
