24 Fan of reading, some anime, and various styles of music(mostly folk).big fan of Discworld, fantasy in general, Sci fi.I enjoy just about anything relating to other worlds whether showcasing individual ones of an alternative historical nature (Leviathan Trillogy or the works of Harry Turtle Dove). Or possibly stories of interwoven or just distantly connected universes occupying a grander multiverse . I suppose I could call myself a fan of Charles Williams,big fan of the Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica series. There's also Shakespeare, but that's read because of it's availability. Prefer watching it. Love Spice and Wolf, and Stein’s; Gate Enjoy Silly Wizard, Dubliners, New World Rennaissnce Band, Heather Dale, Loreena McKennitt and others. Also, l adore Shakespeare's fools (prefer Armin's over Kempe's), and anything relating to Fools or Jesters. “If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.” - Albert Einstein .

I forgot that writing is very fun and that you're playing pretend. like all this shit and pressure about craftsmanship and art! NO!!!! you are a grown up playing with dolls! it is silly and you should have sooooo much fun pushing their heads together to make them smooch!!! or torturing them, which is what I did to my toys as a child, to the point where my mom thought I was going to grow up evil
Anat the Canaanite goddess of sexual love, war, and hunting. Progenitress of heroes, lady of Palestine.
Info on each sketch below:
Top right: Anat is shown here in a man's war kilt and her hair pulled up, a nod to the Anat statue head found in Gaza. This is after Baal Hadad's 'death', with her cheeks gouged by grief and face painted to resemble a man's beard. This beard imitation combined with her topless clothing and the horned headdress she wears is to evoke a sense of Baal having risen from the dead to claim revenge.
Bottom Right: An exploration of her musculature, with a focus on the markings on her hips and stomach. Drawn from female Canaanite fertility idols that show similar markings with a lot of emphasis on the navel/bellybutton.
Bottom Left: Anat at the feast of Baal's new palace. She wears expensive, imported Egyptian linens. Her hair is braided, eyelids darkened with kohl, and hands darkened with henna.
Center: Anat's fullbody with lots of influence from historical Palestinian dress. She is shown with a vulture because Aqhat, killed at her order, was eaten by vultures and because Anat is often shown with wing imagery.
So many TV shows/movies depict the Epi Pen as a total solution for anaphylaxis...it's not. The Epi Pen gives you 30 minutes to get to a hospital where they can save your life. TV makes it look like you just have to use the Epi Pen and then the crisis is over. Do people without allergies or a loved one with allergies know that an Epi Pen only buys you time? The more I see this on TV the more I worry...
**Maybe you should reblog this because I'm actually worried that most people don't know.
