grace or neptune • they/them • deliberately makes inflammatory and insensitive works • not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground • if you never get smote for your hubris you’re spending too much time in airports • when you abandon your freakishness you abandon your compassion • I’ll clerk in the office that handles the funding that raises the tower that watches the sky • the only universal language is language • come not to me for council for I will say both no and yes • ideological monogamy is strictly optional • much higher ambitions than just being a bitch • when the axe came into the forest, the trees said, “the handle is one of us” • seeking to void all limits to life, liberty, knowledge, and happiness • my address will be the tallest skyscraper in the world • when you remember icarus remember wilbur and orville too • hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up • these are the days of miracle and wonder • we’ll walk beneath the rusted sky

this is mostly a blog for art and assorted fandom stuff. I have a tag system but it is a finely crafted work of deliberately opaque bullshit; I basically don’t content warn because I know I can’t do it reliably and I don’t like promising to do things when I know full well I’ll fuck up at them. 

my ao3 can be found here.

my askbox is open and I think arguing and/or having opinions in public is super fun. come on in! 

chess tournament put on hold briefly as White's bishops are having a schism

Black's pawns are taking the opportunity to discuss wages with their king, threatening him with the guillotine if they go further without proper care

the king obliges

while this may cause distrust in Black's upper castes, particularly, his knights, the overall quality of Black's army has greatly improved

one of White's rooks has suffered structural damages. knights are investigating to determine if it was sabotage or simply a result of the rook's old age.

meanwhile, White's bishops have come an agreement: one will continue with traditional Catholicism, the other will modernize, translating their scripture from Latin to English

the royal family is yet to comment

the royal family is too busy dealing with an affair between the two queens, who somehow managed to escape both kingdoms

White's pawns are jealous of Black's pawn labor rights and have unionized, but are for some reason targeting the kingside knight

White has ordered a new rook to replace the crumbling ruins of White's old rook, though due to a mixup with the delivery boy, White was given an albino rook (Corvus frugilegus)

both Black and White agree to play the rook as a normal rook, despite the difficulties of making a bird fight in a 12th century land battle

the bird keeps jumping when it's not supposed to and frequently flies over half the board above several pieces. Black's knights are jealous and try to teach a pawn the basics of falconry so they can capture the bird for themselves.

White's kingside knight has used lethal force

White's remaining pawns have deserted White's army to join Black

Black's queenside knight and rook has left to join White, frustrated over the pawns' apparent privilege

White has successfully rebuilt their crumbled rook after White lost the rook (bird), though White technically now has three rooks

Black has replaced Black's lost bishop with a rabbi

amidst all the chaos, the queens have returned to the board and are hosting a wedding ceremony in the center squares

White's rook (bird) discovered it had free will and is functionally on a third side. it attacks every piece it sees.

White's modernized bishop (both of White's traditionalist bishops refused to hold a same-sex marriage) officiates the wedding, which was nearly crashed by Black's remaining knight getting drunk at the minibar and getting into a fistfight with White's rook (tower)

Black's pawns are hiding in fear from White's rook (bird)

White's rook (bird) is circling ominously above White's king

White's king cannot run from a bird

it appears that Black has won the game, by White's rook (bird) checkmating White's king

the players shake hands, congratulating eachother for a good game

Limited Life fanart that shot my brain while making it, but it looks cool so :D

if duolingo is going to insist on having a whole cinematic universe for its characters they should at least provide a chart establishing who addresses whom with the formal you because right now i’m having all of them use informal you to everyone in all relevant exercises and it feels. wrong

if i was a bite-sized child addressing an ill-tempered talking bear i would be using Sie. i would call that thing 您 i would use the most formal register of language available even if the bear said i didn’t have to and i don’t like that duolingo doesn’t account for this

[ID: Quora screenshot of the question 'Is it difficult to learn the Finnish language?' to which Henry Majander, 'A Native Finn,' has responded:

No, even small children can do it. I used to live next door to a kindergarten. There were a lot of immigrant kids there. All the kids did was stand in a puddle and scream. Especially the mornings I had hangover. The immmigrant kids stood in the puddle like the others and screamed. Then I saw them in the store, and they were translating to their parents… so, to learn a language you need to stand in the puddle and scream. I think it is called osmosis. Also helps if you are 5 years old.

The response has 13 upvotes. /end ID]

Yes we need more chaste twee baby gay romances like heartstopper and yes we also need more shows where men fuck raw to express their love for one another like Élite and yes we need more toxic gays having hate sex like Interview with the Vampire and yes we need more incidental gay characters like the dads in cartoons like Owl House.

It’s not a competition! It’s a hoard and I’m like a gay little Smaug.

the normalization of porn in mainstream media is a weird take to have

Normalization of gay desire and yes, even gay sex, is paramount to gay liberation actually.

see, the funny thing about that reply up there is that it assumes that porn is not normalized in mainstream media, when in fact there are many shows advertised on how steamy the hate sex between the male and female leads is, like those ads i keep seeing for “the company you keep”. straight porn in mainstream media IS ridiculously oversaturated, to the point that it’s messing people up. it’s so oversaturated and normalized because it’s not really viewed as inappropriate, it’s seen as just a natural thing two people do to show their love. one of the central tenets of homophobia is that gay desire is seen as shocking, unnatural, inappropriate. so no, we won’t have gay liberation until there’s more gay sex onscreen and it’s treated with the nuance and complexity that straight sex is.

Do you have any references for centaur foals? It's really hard to find any references that's not adults

Yea! Enjoy a dump of all my centaur babies!
They’re mostly a bit older drawings but I think they still hold up haha and I don’t think many people draw them cause they can be a little funky- what with the chunky little bodies on big ol spidery legs 😅 But I still think they’re cute 💜

And a lot of my drawings of the bitties are in slings, as that’s how I built in infant care with an L-shaped infant 😂

On Whimsical Bullshit Interior Design: I fucking love those ceiling lamp sections of stores where they have all the possible sorts of lamps just hanging from the ceiling in clusters. If nobody stopped me, I would have that in my house. Just a whole fucking jungle of all sorts of lamps of various styles but vaguely matching aesthetics hanging on the ceiling, like this:

A rough sketch of the artist sitting on the floor of an unfurnished room in his underwear like a goblin, beaming with joy and satisfaction. There are 13 lamps of various mismatched styles hanging from the ceiling. All of them are lit, and faintly illuminate the poorly sketched man on the floor.ALT

Insomnia Late-Night Talks

So I've mentioned this before but I like the idea that Alfred is not ExMI6 He's just a service worker your avg Joe who is good at his job and worked up the ranks in the household.

I also love the idea that Alfred isn't close to the Wyane family as it's normally shown. He's strictly always just been the help. He never saved Thomas in the war or even has a long history with the Wayne family.

it just makes the time after Martha's and Thomas's deaths even more jarring. Not only has Bruce lost his parents he's being left to a member of the staff? While Alfred is also equally a drift who never knew he was basically the godfather to his employer's kid.(Thomas and Martha die before they could tell him)

So now they both have to learn to deal with and live in a huge empty manor with only really each other to keep company. Two people who are not huge talkers lol.

I think when it's very late at night especially when Bruce has insomnia they both can open up and really get to know each other and ask some big questions.

idk why but tallulah's inventory is making me sad. letters (from wilbur i assume), flowers, her little butterfly wings, her flute. it's orderly and small, her little pink signs in her 1st slot and the sword awkwardly in her 4th. poor baby...
