i had a book fall apart on me so i decided to use it as a backdrop for my august theme! it was the perfect thing to pair with these massive floral stickers i have and i think the effect is stunning especially in person

#bullet journal #bujo #i say stuff sometimes #i dont recommend buying an $8 copy of fellowship of the ring #bc pages started falling out before i got even a quarter of the way through the book #but hey now i have plenty of pages to work with #and theyre a perfect size to just slap on the page #an extra bonus is that it doesnt add much thickness to the page like my other setups do #bc my journal is THICCC and she needed a break #i got most of these stickers in subscription boxes and i LOVED THEM but theyre hard to use in my regular style #i’m stoked bc the flowers frames and window are all from different sets but are still cohesive

For any Nevermoor fans that've ever been interested in getting their hands on the UK hardcover editions of the series, with the wonderful cover designs..... I think they might be out of print (which. makes sense with the gold foil) so. goodluck and godspeed for finding them secondhand, because it was surprisingly hard to do online.

#nevermoor #full disclosure I discovered this like a month ago but wanted to wait until all of mine arrived correctly to share just in case 🫣🫣🫣 #I was terrified they’d send paperbacks or non-UK editions instead lol #I now have three sets of first three books. mental illness. can silverborn come out already 😭😭😭 #afaik the wundersmiths are still in stock officially just based on some wording the supply is dwindling lol #got nevermoor and wundersmith in the mail the other day as I posted about. 😁. #hollowpox arrived today from a different seller and with less damage from the transit but oh well #bc one seller had 1 and 2 while another had 3. 🤷😔 lol #they do seem to be in stock signed! normally + used but I didn’t want that bc I think the neon plain sprayed edges are soooo ugly I’m sorry #also I’d love to get my books signed personally one day. all….. nine and counting of them…… lolllll…. #I have the american hollowpox signed bc I got it thru the owlcrate box which was fun! #RIP to chances of a silverborn box though now that owlcrate jr is discontinued 😭😭😭

Idk if this still applies to 5e but 👀 the potential for drama here. Noble drow who stays from Lolth gets painted out of their family portrait, any personal portraits are destroyed. All of their works, everything... Centuries worth of proof that they ever existed, ever lived in Menzoberranzan, gone. Even if they manage to get away and breathing still, to reject Lolth is to die in one way or another.

#lore #read: menzoberranzan box set #drow #I don't think it's still that extreme in the recent books but can you imagine? the potential.

do you have any thoughts on luna and harry as a potential couple post-canon? i was reading your post on harry/ginny and i really loved your perspective on it, especially when you said your vision for harry post war was basically just lots and lots of big dogs (i LOVE that mental image and i agree it would be SO good for him!!) but i was wondering if you'd consider luna and harry to be a good match for each other? personally i have a sort of soft spot for the pairing because of how fond harry is of her in canon, and i think if anyone was going to understand and be unfazed by all the difficult trauma responses and long healing process he's going to be dealing with for years after the war, luna seems like a good fit :)

My love for Harry as a character is kind of unusual to me, considering I go pearl-diving for ships when I read things, and I fall in love with dynamics as a conduit to falling in love with characters. That said, I don't really ship him with anybody. I just genuinely adore That Weird Little Dude. Same with Ron; I'm just as pleased to see them with a range of people, because (A) I believe they're good partners and can have great relationships with many people (Ron Weasley get behind me they could never make me hate you Ron Weasley), but also (B) I don't see either of their canon relationships as Definitive. Some characters I ship together because I sincerely believe they are (non-deterministic) soulmates, in that they bring out parts of each other that make them the freshest, happiest, most interesting versions of themselves. With other characters, I'll look at a couple and go: "Huh. Could work!" and smack my giant rubber [APPROVED] stamp on it, then get back to work on my blorbos.

Luna and Harry are one of those couples for me. As I mentioned in that other post, I think Harry's primary requirement in a partner is someone who can treat him normally, i.e. will be generally chill about the Became Wizard Jesus Twice situation. Which is a big ask. Luna is uniquely capable of doing that because Luna is not normal at all, and so treats all things, extraordinary and ordinary both, as uniformly dazzling and delightful. I believe this is why Harry enjoys her so much in their friendship, because he gets to feel valued and treasured without feeling unusual or othered — a hard line to toe, and one even Ron and Hermione occasionally trip up on. He seems to like hanging out with her a great deal, and I think it says something sweet that he asks her to the Slug Club party instead of any of the girls in Gryffindor from his year, whom he'd ostensibly know better.

Luna is a bit of a cipher to me, I admit. We know she's the daughter of an eccentric and probably traumatized single father, raised without a mother; deeply lonely, because of how she's been ostracized for her beliefs and hobbies, and the victim of some degree of bullying for it; and yet full of a passionate, almost effortless wonder and joie de vivre. She's also intensely loving (cf. painting her friends' faces on her bedroom ceiling) and very hard to embarrass. She likes Harry for understandable reasons; they share most of those qualities (Harry's more sensitive to others' opinions, understandably so), and the only point where they diverge is their actual hobbies and interests. Harry seems pretty fond of her nonsense, and I bet she could sell him on crumple-horned snorkacks given some time — maybe if Hermione took a vacation to Switzerland and left them alone together.

In general, what I find sweet about the idea of these two is they're so chill. These are two people whose chief ambition is to hang out, enjoy their hobbies, and see some cool magical shit. Date night is so fucking easy for these two. Plus, Harry is a hothead a lot of the time, and Luna just... vibes. Literally never bothered. Insane levels of not fussed at all times. Very helpful for Harry, who has a bad tendency to bottle up his feelings and then blow up at the first person to sneeze at him. Conversely, I'd hope that Harry would age into the kind of genial, confident dude who would be able to rock up with a function where people were talking shit about Luna and be like :) My wife? You mean my wise and beautiful wife? Surely you are not talking about my wise and beautiful wife. :) instead of doing what he'd do from age 15-17, which is get mad and stomp around sulking. Which, again: teenager. Orphan. Non-stop trauma gauntlet from age 2-18. Excuses are made. But still. Would think it best if Luna's husband were not perhaps so keenly sensitive to gossip, for Luna's sake.

Anyway, these are just some dissembled thoughts. There's also something in there about Harry, boy under the staircase, falling in love with the magical world and ending up the Most Magical person, i.e., the person who took believing in magic to such an extreme that she imagines magic that doesn't exist yet. And Luna ends up with the one person who's inarguably stranger than she is.

#another e.g. for a Definitive couple would be Annabeth and Percy for instance. #like I think Nico and Will are cute but I'm fine if they date other people! I don't *root* for that but I'd be chill and open to it #if Percy and Annabeth break up I'm setting the book on fire and doing a Cursed Child brainwipe. it isn't happening. #they are Definitive. they are narrative complements. they need to kiss for Thematic Purposes (read: pretentious) #greenteacup asks #Harry and Ginny also exist in the rubberstamp box for me #I think Ginny does different things for Harry and has different strengths/faults #sidebar naming their daughter after luna is SO cute and lily luna is the one potterchild I'm okay with the name of #but it also makes me think about harry/luna kids and. you know what. I think it would go better #harry would be like 'perhaps... albus severus' and luna would be like :D great idea! I was Thinking Of Lysander Philodemus Crantor. #and then she would negotiate him down to like. 'katherine' but with a byzantine combination of Y's and E's

24 hours left on my Kickstarter!

And JUST hit 20k - the amount needed to unlock the stretch goal me designing set pieces for the paper dolls PDF!

I'm so happy to have hit this stretch goal it's the one I really wanted

The black box is what the books arrive in! And each book will have themed outfits and a themed playset in the PDF for you to print and cut out!

But it's MUCH easier (seriously, trust me on this) to make me print and cut them out for you if you want to play with them, which is an add on!

Plus, it makes each box come with little themed cuties to play with! It's just fun

And, of course, the books!!! Aaa they are SO gorgeous, I can't wait to put together little themed boxes all year!

I love my comic so much, and if you love it too or want to get to, back the Kickstarter! 24 hours left!!!

(and, if you happen to see this after the Kickstarter is over, the Kickstarter page will have a link that will lead you to my site where you can preorder books!)

#guys im so so so happy about the doll sets #way more work for me. like. way more. #but soooo worth it look how fucking cute they are!!! #im SO happy so many people have added them on and got all the merch #sending out a themed box every few months is making me totally giddy #ok ok. im good. aaaa 🧡🧡🧡 ok im good #kickstarter stuff #digital art #crowdfunding #ending soon #so sad #kickstarter project #indie comics #comic books #graphic novels

THE COMPLETE ZAP COMIX BOXED SET [2014 | 920p. | FANTAGRAPHICS]

There scarcely was an underground comics world before Robert Crumb's classic solo first issue of Zap. By Zap #2, he had begun assembling a Seven Samurai of the best, the fiercest, and the most stylistically diversified cartoonists to come out of the countercultural kiln. All of them were extremists of one sort or another, from biker-gang member Rodriguez to Christian surfer Griffin, but somehow they produced a decades-long collaboration: a mind-blowing anthology of abstract hallucination, throat-slashing social satire, and shocking sexual excess, that made possible the ongoing wave of alternative cartoonists like Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, and Charles Burns. 'The Complete Zap Comix' collects every issue of Zap — every cover and every story, and even the Zam mini comic jam among the Zap artists — in a five-volume, slipcased hardcover set. Plus, an introduction by founder R. Crumb and an oral history of Zap by Patrick Rosenkranz. Zap is the most historically and aesthetically important comics series ever published. Also included exclusively in this boxed set is a portfolio of Zap covers by the eight artists, replicated from high resolution scans and proofs, and specially printed for this edition on acid-free, 100% cotton fine-art paper utilizing archival pigment inks.

#every year #when the 'gifts for book lovers' guides start popping up online #first gorgeous children's box set i see #makes the yearning start again #consoling myself by considering they may exist at wright's #(inventing my own imaginary book store containing all the beautiful books that don't exist may have been a bad idea) #(may be a few layers too deep in the flights of fancy department) #the blackberry bushes #isfjmel-phleg

Alan Wake quickly became one of my all-time favorite games when it came out back in 2010, but I originally played it on PC and missed out on the now discontinued Limited Collector’s Edition for Xbox 360. Finally, over a decade later, I’ve tracked down a copy and added it to my collection! 💀🎮

Hardbound in quality linen, this special set is designed to resemble a hardcover book and includes:

Game Disc & DLC in Box with Unique Art

“The Alan Wake Files” 144 Page Hardcover Book w/ FBI Dossiers

Exclusive In-Game Commentary and Hints by Remedy

Exclusive Audio Disc with Soundtrack and Score

Bonus Disc w/ Behind The Scenes and Video Documentaries
