I can not stress enough that the scene where Percy sends Medusas head to the gods is literally what made me fall in love with Percy as a character bc think about it hes just started his first quest, he's in more danger then he's ever been in his whole life, knowing almost every monster and God is currently out to get him personally, and the most important person in his life has been kidnapped by the god of the dead - so what does he do? He chooses to actively makes the situation worse by sending a middle finger right to the gods bc yeah fuck the gods

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)
if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.
--
no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.
I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.
I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.
If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

Gothmog, Thuringwethil, and bonus Tevildo
i was digging around in my files and rediscovered some really old silm art of mine, including my original angband trio designs (mostly traced off heroforge models lol):
and they're actually pretty cool! thuringwethil's tail is maybe a little questionable of a design choice (how are you supposed to fly with a giant tail flopping around...) but it looks really good on gothmog.
i don't really remember what i was doing with sauron (he looks a little like early curufin for unknown reasons) and idk what the wrist things are supposed to be, but Original Flavor Thuringwethil was actually a corrupted maia of manwe (eonwe's sister?), hence the feathers instead of traditional bat wings. for Original Gothmog i am less sure about his origins but he is possibly a corrupted maia of ulmo (originally a sea serpent, hence the tail and ulmo style ear-fins) who basically dried up into a more stone-based serpent
anyways i think I might keep thuringwethil's face/wing design and gothmogs full design for future use

Sirius Black wereanimals multiverse/animagus fancasts
here you go, these are my fave Sirius Black fancasts, @plecotusauritus. Credit for "toujours puddles" goes to @hollyivydruzy, I stole that, as well as the duck and the goat from a conversation about marauders as herd animals we had a few weeks ago. toujours puddles has lived on in my brain ever since then lol!
This post is the sequel to the Remus Lupin wereanimal moodboard

am i too late to join in on this-
anyway uhh HI ive wanted to make a carnival au version of tynie for AGESSSS but never had any ideas?? but then like 2 hours ago it HIT ME and i ran to get this done
tynies entire thing is like. being a cute lil plushie. where can you get cute lil plushies? you can win them in carnival games. the stars alligned in my brain and it was amazing. honestly, while base tynie is more of a pessimist, thats mainly cause of the whole 'human stuck in the form of a cute plush cat and she hates it' thing. carnival tynie doesnt care about that! so she's probably, at the very least, doing somewhat better than tadc tynie. good for her
when it comes to character interactions, i think she in general only talks to the others if shes forced to. we're talking 'being dragged out of her room by her tail' levels of forced. unless she actually feels like interacting. which happens sometimes i guess lmao
but besides that i dont have much else for her rn, its like 1am so ill think of more later LOL
uhHHH yeah i love this au. its so interesting and i love all the lore and all the artwork for it so im surprised it took me this long to add tynie. my bad- but yeah CARNIVAL AU IS BY @sm-baby!!!! YIPPIEE!! please go follow her omg you wont regret it
UHHHHH YEAH! BONUS STUFF UNDER THE CUT (ITS NOT MUCH BUT MIGHT AS WELL ADD IT)
i gave her a pinwheel :)
