ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance
near every fucking party in europe has moved to the right on immigration and are willing to sacrifice both undocumented people and documented/turned citizen immigrants to appease the far right hysteria. wake up, this is the issue of our lifetime, this is what we need to fight for, especially as climate change accelerates and makes much of the third world uninhabitable and as companies use undocumented labour as slavery. this is our hill to die on

Hey kid, look at me.
I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.
Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.
These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

A while ago I had a dream where I was dating the human version of burn, but she got mad at me after she thought I cheated on her with blister, and then hunted me down to where I was hiding in a freezer. She proceeded to break every bone in my body, but then it became clear everything was just a big misunderstanding and we made out. Anyway when I woke up I felt really content and happy for some reason even though I really missed my buff toxic girlfriend, and I remember wondering if this was what love was meant to feel like.
Have never felt that way about anything since, and to this day I'm still questioning my sexuality.

the warrior cats graphic novel adaptation exists as a separate entity from the books to me. it removes the weird romance between spottedleaf and firepaw. it acknowledges sibling relationships that were never canonically addressed before. it lifts a lot of the ableism behind cinderpaw becoming a medicine cat. it's made by a married sapphic couple. they draw cloudkit like this:
really it's an improvement overall and i like it completely on its own. this is what the people deserve after putting up with over 20 years of misogyny and ableism.
So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I canβt do in three hours. And you know what he responded?
βIt didnβt take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.β
And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didnβt take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think thereβs something to learn there but itβs so warm and my brain is fried so I canβt formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

β₯ Interactions are appreciated.
I have discovered and become obsessed with Slay the Princess. While I cannot draw humans, and so cannot draw the princesses, I am able to draw animals.
So here is my Smitten design !
