i struggle a lot with deviating from the original design when doing fanart because i fear the character won't be recognisable anymore if i dare change the colours here and there
i think its a damn shame since i see all the cool spins on character designs and think "man, i could do that"
so here's my two little thinkin pieces on me, yknow, doing that, with alastor :)
i might actually make the final one into like... a thing??? but don't count on it, my attention span is abysmal.

been thinking abt it. and i know dream is kind of famous for his copious amount of lovers throughout his time but like. he couldn’t have been the only one, i would think his siblings HAD to have lovers/spouses at some point(like desire, questionably if we’re going by the show continuity, with unity) there had to be theoretically children as well. do y’all think that Orpheus had any cousins 👀

(via World’s Oldest Edible Ham – Smithfield, Virginia - Gastro Obscura)
this word, it does not mean what you think it means...
THE 119-YEAR-OLD HAM, WHICH IS reportedly the oldest in the world, was originally cured in 1902 by the Gwaltney Foods meat company before it was lost in storage. On its rediscovery two decades later, the elated Pembroke D. Gwaltney Jr. made the piece of pork his “pet ham.” He put a brass collar on it and paraded it around various expositions to prove to customers his meat could be kept without being refrigerated.

What dose he mean by future kids!? They have three beans! A whole bean stock would overwhelm them
If people back in ye olden days could handle all those kids I’m sure our idiots can too

mad at @raayllum for this post
The chaos is the worst part. They can see it from the castle: the wave of corrupted elves and soldiers overruning what's left of the Katolan army; the common folk scrambling for safety as anyone able herds them towards the castle gates; the bodies falling and rising again, just as terrifying, just as corrupt.
Opeli has lived through sieges before. They have been far and few between, but she knows the terror of being trapped in the towers and the uncertainty of whether the kingdom will last the night. She was a novice last time: fifteen and afraid, her hands shaking as she assisted Phoebe, the High Cleric at the time, lead the common folk in prayer.
Justice and her sisters have been kind in the past. Opeli doubts that even they can help now.
There's movement to her left. A blur. A flutter. A flash of light and a flurry of feathers, and Callum all but collapses against an embrasure in his exhaustion.
"There's no stopping them," he manages. "They keep getting up like it's nothing. I don't know what Claudia did to make them stronger but I don't know what else to do!"
Opeli's face tightens. She glances at the gates below, drawn shut and locked tight. She looks at the fires on the horizon and knows there's nothing else to be done.
"You need to go," she says shortly.
Callum stares at her. "What?"
"You need to go," says Opeli again. "You and Ezran. Soren and Rayla too. Prince Azymondias can carry two of you, you can carry the last."
"I—Opeli, what are you saying?"
"You know exactly what." She gives him a hard stare, hoping the severity of it is enough to hide the fear clawing at her heart. Callum stares back, confused, or perhaps reluctant to understand, because she can see the conclusion dawning in his eyes, and then the refusal to accept it.
"I don't understand—you don't mean—We're not going to leave—"
"You have to," says Opeli. "Ezran is the last of your father's bloodline. He cannot be lost to this. Neither can you, and there is no one better able to protect you both than Soren and Rayla. The four of you have to go. Now."
"Opeli—"
"I won't argue with you about this, Your Highness."
"You can't be serious—"
"I am, and you're wasting time."
"We're not leaving you!" bursts Callum. The frustration in his voice makes her heart ache: there's no other choice and he knows it as well as she. There's nothing else that can be done now. There are no more options. And yet—
"We're not leaving you," he says again, his breath heavy, his eyes damp and frustrated in the dimming light. "You, and Barius, and Corvus, and the rest of the people behind the gates. We're not—we can't—"
"You can," says Opeli gently. "The gates will hold for some time but if all else fails... Katolis can't fall tonight."
"If we leave, it will! Ezran and I—we'll have failed, and there'll be nothing left to protect—"
"Callum." Opeli offers him a smile. It's grim, and despite it all, unafraid. She swore an oath when she became High Cleric to serve the Crown, and swore another, quieter one when Ezran and the others came into her care that she would protect them in their parents' stead. Sarai and Harrow and Lissa are all gone. Viren caused this. Rayla's family abandoned her when she chose the truth and justice over petty revenge.
There has been no one to watch over them these few years but her. How can she live with herself if she didn't do what was best for them now?
"Callum," she says again. "You and Ezran are more than the Crown to me. You know this. I am not asking you to leave for the sake of it. I'm asking you to leave because I need you to be safe. You have to go now, do you understand?"
"I can't—we can't—"
"Yes, you can," says Opeli. "And you will. And you'll protect each other, and keep each other safe, and perhaps when you come back, we'll still be here—but you have to go now. Okay?"
Callum scowls. He kicks a stone across the flagstones. He rubs furiously at his eyes. Then he pulls her into his arms and hugs her tight, afraid it might be the last. "Swear to me you'll be okay."
"You know I can't do that," says Opeli, chuckling ruefully against his shoulder.
"Do it anyway," snaps Callum. "We'll—we'll go, and maybe we can get to Duren and find reinforcements in time and—swear it, Opeli."
She sighs. "I swear it," she says, even if she knows it's a promise she can't keep.
Callum tears himself away from her then and leaps over the embrasure, his wings materialising over his arms. He dives towards the keep and then he's gone and Opeli is alone on the tower bridge watching the horde come tearing towards the castle.
She takes a breath.
She swore an oath the Crown once, and then another to the boys who would have to bear it. What's one more sacrifice to keep them safe?

So I was just rereading Dark Mirror and it just amused me that you mention 512 terabyte isolinear chips and we're really not far off that now in hard drive sizes... I just bought an 8 terabyte external for less than 200 bucks.
Life imitating art? Or is Geordi La Forge secretly working in Silicon Valley?
(snicker) Another reminder that it's wiser to make up measurements instead of assuming a Really Big Metric One you invent will be big enough to last until the work goes safely out of print. (As you see, I've already embarrassed myself this way once in a Trek novel. A harsh lesson...)
...But have I learned my lesson? Hmm. I mean, look at this, which goes back to 2009 or so. By quoting a storage size in yottabytes, I just skated by. And I think I may be safe with that for a while longer. But how much longer? Hard to say...

OH OH OH HERE WE GO IT’S TIME FOR A MOMENT
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THEM TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OHOHOHO OH I SEE HOW IT IS
CLAMP are still playing the long game with this. The glacier slow drip of information around Watanuki’s name is MURDERING ME ONE WORD AT A TIME. 
Because like, this is CLAMP. We’re served this moment with the attention and drama that the mysterious connection it surely deserves, with gorgeous panels and swirling petals to really drive home the fact that it’s a moment that’s important to both THEM and US at the same time. 
BUT - and here’s the interesting part -
Everything they say here is information we already have. 
AND it’s worth noting that Watanuki’s birthday took place ON SCREEN two chapters before this moment in xxxHolic, which really drills down on the repetition of it coming up in the storyline being important. 
So as beautiful as these moments are, I don’t think there’s any particular reason to draw them out so beautifully UNLESS it was a piece of information they wanted us to remember AND dwell on in the upcoming chapters of both manga. 
I don’t think they would have had the characters slowly making the connections between each other themselves now, and so beautifully, unless it was ENTIRELY RELEVANT, if not VITAL, to an upcoming story beat. 
Which makes my head spin. Both because I desperately want to know what it is but also because I can’t pin down what it could BE. 
The fact that all three protagonists share the same birthday is such a cute fun detail on the surface level, but Clamp have been telling us from chapter 1 that coincidence isn’t real and everything is on purpose hitsuzen, so there’s a Serious Reason for their birthdays aligning too. 
And like, I’ve already been dancing around what I think Lava Lamp’s connection to Watanuki is (shh no hints) but what about Sakura? As much as My MYSTERIOUS AND SUBTLE guesses about Watanuki and Syaoran’s connection would absolutely explain why they have the same birthday, it doesn’t make a natural connection with Sakura in any way that I can tell. 
But
BUT 
But the way Sakura so fondly tells the story of how her and Lava Lamp(or Syaoran?) share the same birthday, it almost makes me think… that, like… 
It’s not impossible for someone to be NAMED AFTER a connection like that, is it? 
Which (in relation to Watanuki) would potentially answer one question only to immediately blow up a dozen others. 
The mystery of Watanuki’s name has never looked more complicated and I’m just like 
Tumblr media
Like… COULD IT BE THAT?
BUT NO, OF COURSE NOT. None of that would make logical sense. 
BUT… BUT COULD IT??????????
??????????????
