People I know irl:

So I hear you’re into movies! Recommend me one. I just watched the Shawshank Redemption on Netflix and enjoyed it.

Me looking at the borderline p*rnographic creepy sadomasochistic lesbian B-movie with a 4.1 IMDb rating open on my computer screen which I use to substitute actual human contact and intimacy:

they moved on too fast from stephen comically ruining the cricket game in the fortune of war

#in the 21 seasons long aubreyad that exists only in my head the cricket bit is a whole episode. like the baseball ep in ds9 #im reading the surgeon's mate i promise but the fortune of war had too many golden moments

i think it literally Says when diana & sophie are introduced that diana is shorter than sophie but Carries herself in such a way that she seems taller. yet she is 5'10 to me.

#yeah. stephen and sophie are the shorties the salt and pepper shakers duo. the keychain sized partners #i know this to be true in my soul

"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

There is supposed to be a place where no one can reach you. Traditionally, the home, but now we settle for the ocean, the airplane, the summit of a mountain, the middle of a lake, the shower, the womb, the grave

hello, i am back with updated commission info! i'm doing portrait commissions for Palestine - 100% of the proceeds go towards Palestine (care for gaza, pcrf and individual gofundmes), and they're prized at 15, 25 and 35 €/$ each, but again feel free to donate more if you feel like you are able! payment is via paypal, @ strisoria.

i've included examples below, it's sometimes a little hard doing the distinction between the "tiers" but what it comes down to is basically amount of detail/refinement and time spent. the 15 €/$ are the sketchier or "monochrome" style, the 25 €/$ is more rendered/coloured.

for previous commissions i've done characters from fandoms i know - which helps to know the ~vibe of the drawing - but also fandoms i don't know as well as portraits of real people, and i'm also not opposed to trying my hand at drawing people's OC's, with sufficient reference of course! honestly, it never hurts to ask! if you’re interested send an ask or dm! thank you for reading all this! 🕊️🇵🇸
