HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MONKEY D. LUFFY!

“I love thee still.”

There are several moments in tge where Maia is just the Most eighteen, and I would like to posit one of my favorites:

Min Vechin, who Maia is very attracted to: hey :) I've noticed you're attracted to me...want to do something about that?

Maia, experiencing the entire spectrum of human half-goblin emotion at once: NO THANK YOU. GOODNIGHT. MA'AM.

Maia: *turns on his heel and walks out, followed by his nohecharei who got to watch that entire fumble*

making art is just like showering………can’t get up and do it, can’t stop when you’ve started. you want to crawl out of your skin if you don’t do it often enough. everything in the world is the exact same

Fanart for The Goblin Emperor.

I really liked this book. Such a good read.

Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy, Book 1 “Inferno,” Canto 5 [tr. James (2013)]

“Cousin Kip! Whatever are you doing here? Are you with the sky ship that came last month?”

“Yes. I am in attendance to my lord.” He gestured discreetly at his Radiancy, who was smiling more sardonically than benevolently and thus did not look exactly like the state portrait hanging directly behind him.
