I read this fic where Richter brings Aster back to life and this scene made me tear up so of course I had to draw it

Hi, I'm the author and I literally cried, oh my god, thank you so much! This art is so gorgeous and perfectly captures what I had in mind for that scene! My heart is still beating so fast, I'm not even sure I can ever express how happy this has made me. I write a lot of weird stuff under this pseudonym, but I'm working on original fiction under a different one, and writing is, as most writers know, very difficult, especially starting out. Seeing fan art for my fanfic gives me so much hope that someday my original fiction will do just as well, and honestly, that makes a lot of what I've gone through feel so worth it. It's incredibly validating to see someone enjoy my work so much that they produced such a brilliant piece of art to go with it, and I'm having a hell of a time processing it. It's gorgeous, and I'm so glad my work achieved a level that was good enough to inspire such a beautiful rendering. I can't praise it enough. I see so much rad artwork for DotNW on the JP side of the fandom, and it's so hard to find because a lot of it is untagged on twitter and I don't speak enough Japanese to know how to ask for it. The last time I saw fan art inspired by an English fic for DotNW was ages ago on deviant art for a fic that no longer exists on the web. And I remember reading the fic and being like "Yeah, I totally get how this deserves fan art!" So just... being that person right now is an immense honor, and I don't know if I'll ever get over it. My heart is just swollen with so much love and affection and pride that my work has been immortalized in such a beautiful piece. Someone with so much talent saw what I wrote and put tremendous time and effort and skill into this piece because I made something worthwhile. I'm just beyond touched. I can't say thank you enough. This is a blessing and I will cherish this. I'm gonna pin this on my blog and just... love it forever, because I don't know what else I can do for it. I'm just so happy!

The good news: you get to pick your new soulmate! (You can define "soulmate" however you want: platonic/romantic/partners in crime/etc. But they will be in your life, constantly.)

The bad news: you don't get to pick where they come from.

Spin this wheel until you get a fandom with characters that you recognize. As soon as you do, stop. One of those people* is going to be a constant presence in your life, whether you like it or not. So choose wisely.

REAL !!!

no carry on 

Me opening up the word doc and getting stuck in the exact same place as last time

if i had to summarize kish's character with one post...

Jfc that kitty parade music justmakes it hilarious

I can’t believe this is an actual event that has taken place.

with the music that might actually be the most surreal thing i’ve ever watched

"Anything is fine as long as it's legal" is not the sex positive position you think it is. Anything can be criminalised. Anything can be decriminalised.

In some places it's illegal to consensually choke your boyfriend. In other places marital rape is not a crime. Develop a moral compass instead of expecting your government to tell you what is right and wrong.

No actually it's not weird for me to focus on my own sex life on my own post when I'm talking about how the things I personally participate in are criminalised in my own country. This post is SPECIFICALLY prompted by anti kink and anti sex work laws in MY country. It's about MY life. Like yes it applies to other countries to so please participate but do not act like me talking about my own fucking life on my own fucking post is "a bit weird". For fuck sake.

This is the fastest anyone has blocked me lmao

Bringing the choking into it actually makes it better by bringing in dignity of risk and how the same governments who love pestering people over their sexual activities also tend to loooove legally interfering with people's choices "for their own good." Which is also shitty a lot of the time.

do people know that a french ex-president (nicolas sarkozy, from 2007 to 2012) is currently wearing an electronic bracelet after he was sentenced for corruption and influence peddling? do people know? i want everyone to know 😌

and that bernard squarcini, the head of internal security (DGSI) during sarkozy's presidency, just got convicted for influence peddling and has to wear an ankle bracelet for at least two years? 😌🙏

and that marine le pen, leader of the far-right party et one of the (ex)favorites for the 2027 presidential elections, has to wear an ankle bracelet for at least two years and is ineligible for five years?? 😌🙌✨️

?????? rich people are losing it

to be clear, yes i would also do some of this if i had the money. im experiencing blinding envy over the dr pepper mirror dimension.

commission for @mllekurtz, who requested Neve and Lucanis posed in the style of one of the photographs from a Marjorie Morningstar (1958) photoshoot! both the composition and the characters were so fun to work on, thank you for commissioning me 💜

Hold on a sec while I eat this whole. I'm speechless by how gorgeous it turned out: the ROMANTICISM of the pose + the color palette + the little details (the eye contact, Neve's hand brushing Lucanis's neck, the magnetism, the abandon, I could go on). You're a wizard, friend, thank you 💜💜💜

idk why people photoshopped the crying cat meme on this pic when the unedited version is so powerful

my mom is playin fuckn animal crossing in real life

she got this painting for $75 in an old case at an antique market shes been going to for years, and she thought it looks really beautiful, so she sent an email to a local art center to have it appraised

and now she has an art conservator in her emails making a plan to have her come bring it in to be appraised as a genuine Hokusai wood block print from over a hundred of years ago

thats so fucked up to me. my mom went fuckin shopping at Crazy Redd's

no joke, she got it at an antique market. but she didnt even buy the painting. she bought a bag that the painting was in, cuz she's an artist.

when she got home, the bag fell over, and the painting fell out. into the lap of an unsuspecting small town idaho girl (my ma) (that's how she described it).

movie shit.

UPDATE:

it was NOT AN ORIGINAL, but it is a 19th century reproduction.

so she's gonna keep it and have it restored, which means eventually IM going to inherit it, which is cool because i think it looks cool and would love to hang it in my home B^]
