also i've been reading a lot lately this month i read

apparitions by adam pottle 5/5

hijab butch blues by lamya h (audio & physical) 5/5

lighthousekeeping by jeanette winterson 5/5

the devil thinks i'm pretty by charlene elsby 4/5

i shudder at your touch edited by michele slung 2/5

what feasts at night by t. kingfisher 4/5

the salt grows heavy by cassandra khaw 4/5

dehiscent by ashley deng 3/5

the corpse exhibition and other stories of iraq by hassan blasim 3/5

kitchen confidential by anthony bourdain (audiobook) 4/5

whipping girl by julia serano 3/5

freshwater by akwaeke emezi 5/5

blood orange by yaffa as 4/5

things have gotten worse since we last spoke and other misfortunes by eric larocca 2/5

a lot of good reads only a few bad ones.... i'm officially giving up on eric larocca i just cannot get into his work it is so overhyped which i think is part of the problem, both books i've read from them have been hugely disappointing.... i shudder at your touch was also really disappointing and really fucking dull, with a title like that i was really expecting a lot.... but it was just really boring. also i had some conflicting feelings about whipping girl i just fundamentally disagreed with some of her ideas and found the book to be really shallow (which does make sense considering it's over 15 years old and one of the First) but overall i really enjoyed the essays where she talked about her personal experiences as well as some of the history around the pathologizing of gender and transsexuality, and i can appreciate her work and the book itself and what it meant at the time it was originally published. i'm hoping to read a short history of trans misogyny by jules gill-peterson and who's afraid of gender? by judith butler soonish as well not necessarily to compare but just to absorb More.

apparitions was probably my favorite and hijab butch blues, too... i'm also really looking forward to reading more stuff by akwaeke emezi they have a new book coming out called little rot and i'm 👀

currently i'm reading:

into the drowning deep by mira grant - not sure what i'm feeling about this one yet, it's been very repetitive through the first part so i'm hoping things pick up going into part 2.

mrs. s by k. patrick - loving this i'm obsessed with it i'm nearly 50% through. definitely not going to be for everyone, they write in a very clipped style and kind of stream of consciousness as well as no dialogue markers (which i know some people get really pissy about lol)

written in bone by sue black - i'm listening on audiobook and almost done i'm hoping to finish it today while playing stardew. i love an audiobook narrated by the author and she has such a lovely voice. she fucking loves her job and has so much passion for bones and people and their stories sometimes i almost get weepy just listening to her talk about it

also i think i'm going to start crying in h mart next after written in bone... i have the physical as well so i'll probably jump between listening and reading like i did with hijab butch blues. anyways thanks for reading this post and you should tell me if you've read any good books recently 🥺👉👈

#idk im not good at reviewing LOL but i like talking about books #also nyehilism is the one that told me abt written in bone teehee #oh also im always willing to give tw and stuff for books ive read i dont really include them when i talk abt them but u can always ask #my reviews #sure it can go in that tag

hello don't my mind me I just found out Holly has a passion for fashion and I definitely had to brought up this post!!

https://www.tumblr.com/candycane969/737407654404751360/if-i-may-add-something-small-in-the-little

I have seen that post! Something I've mostly been aware of as I go but I never really have the means to articulate. (I mean, there's more than one reason Holly Blue gives him a fancy custom jacket (and his fashionista side will be even more evident in another fic I have planned)). But it's cool to see it so well laid out and then tell myself "Yeah I knew there was more than one reason I had his daughter getting into fashion design" haha!

For the record, she has a knack for programming and tech as well, but never feels the desire to pursue that, and at no point do her fathers pressure her to either (though Donnie does insist on her learning some things essp in regards to Shelldon).

#scribs speaks #sibillasocs #sure it can go in that tag #I keep telling myself to draw older Holly in some Outfits but I just don't have it in me rn

something that really stands out to me about dungeon meshi is that its not like its got these really complex and profound themes coyly tucked away behind a bunch of goofy food/cooking motifs. the goofy food/cooking motifs ARE the complex and profound themes, and the real "oh" moment that notoriously hits everyone like a freight train when theyre reading/watching it isnt the realization that theres story here, but the realization that there was story all along. like. dungeon meshi is about food but its also about hunger. its about ecosystems but its also about community. its about the natural cycle of life/death but its also about legacy. its also about izutsumi

#dungeon meshi #yknow what sure this can go in the tag. send post

would you hold my face softly and tell me it will be alright?

#genshin impact #scaramouche #wanderer #furina #in my head they are already domesticated #very much in a romantic sense #i don’t see why people need to comment besties/siblings so badly #rant time #like you don’t need to ship them but this is my art and i very much ship it #so if you don’t see them that way you can interpret my art that way and go on your merry way #at this point it’s just annoying bc i could never imagine someone commenting siblings on my yantao art #i don’t mind if you see them as best friends i can also see them like that #but you don’t need to announce it #as if your integrity is in danger #im sad i can’t tag the ship bc it’s a rarepair and i’m not sure what the name even is #welp if anyone read this you can totally forget about it now i'm over it #sad scararina hours letsgoo

Bowser: *adjusts his bowtie before holding out his hand* Let's rule the world, together. Forever. Will you marry me?

Luigi: *staring at Bowser with an annoyed expression as he's tied to a chair and also wearing Peach's dress and wig*

#bowser #bowser nintendo #bowser my beloved #luigi #luigi nintendo #luigi my beloved #bowuigi #bowser x luigi #super mario #super mario bros #super mario movie #super mario bros movie #the super mario bros movie #mario movie spoilers #super mario movie spoilers #not sure if it counts as spoilers but I'll put the spoiler tags anyway #so fun fact: when I first saw that scene where Bowser was practicing his marriage proposal I thought we were going to have a Bowuigi moment #like no joke my dudes #after Bowser asked the big question I genuinely thought that it was going to pan to Luigi tied up in a chair (with an unamused expression)#you can imagine my disappointment when it instead panned to Kamek wearing Peach's dress and wig #now don't get me wrong while I did enjoy seeing Kamek crossdressing #it just would've been so much funnier and really adorable if Bowser was practicing his proposal to Luigi #especially since Luigi was barely in the movie at all #but that's a conversation for another day #maybe #anyway enjoy the Bowuigi scene that could've been but Nintendo and Illumination were too afraid to do :)

NO LONGER ACCEPTING REQUESTS as it is past the 28th!!

thank you to everyone who donated, and I’ll complete the requests that are currently pending but will not be taking any more.

hi! to help encourage donations, i’m offering drawings to anyone who donates or sends an e-sim to gaza. here is a tutorial on how on the gaza e-sims website and here is another one on tumblr. check the notes of this post for discount codes if you’re into that. i will be doing this until the 28th of february!

alternatively, you can donate to any one of these instead:

Pious Projects (twitter)

Help Gaza Children (proof of impact)

Care for Gaza (twitter)

Medical Aid for Palestinians (twitter)

Help Ahmed and his family evacuate (his account)

Help Mohamed and his family get medical help and evacuate (post)

there’s no lower limit to donations that i’ll draw for! a dollar or two is still money, and every little bit helps. that said, I won’t be spending over 5 hours on any one drawing so that i don’t burn out. im going to try and do as many of these as i can, but if i am uncomfortable with your request i will refuse it (but that almost certainly won’t happen tho)

Danny is just a kid ya know? Like he is just a little guy. A baby really. 14? Tiny child! Look at him, he needs to be protected. Someone has to help this poor little dude. I mean he forgets to use his own powers to avoid attacks all the time.

Anyway cut to Batfam not knowing all of Dannys power set cause the lil dingus keeps forgetting he can do that stuff in the heat of battle.

Danny uses his invisibility all the time… to avoid being followed. But in a fight? Oopsies hes too busy thinking of funny one liners to realise he could do that.

Intangibility? Give the guy a break. I mean who calls themselves condiment king. Even he was stunned.

He so rarely actually uses his biggest advantage powers that the League doubt he actually has them. He, like any naive child, trusts them and reported fully on his power set. Instead of just asking him to demonstrate his powers they instead start watching him and try to find evidence of his powers.

At least they know duplication was true since they watched him make a copy of himself to go to the bathroom and not miss any of his fav tv show.

#danny phantom #dp x dc #dpxdc #im 100% here for danny using his powers for stupid shit and not the important battle stuff #this post wasn’t meant to be like this so I guess heres for you guys who read my stupid tags #I was gonna have the batfam adopt danny after a reveal and just not know all the crazy stuff he can do #they think they got him figured out then at the manner he does something like seep into the floor to get his forgotten school bag #or he turns invisible cause he got caught parnking and bruce is talking to him and steph but he just dips #no wait I can do better. he gets yelled at by bruce (aka new father figure) for eating a corn chip off the floor and just vanishes from…#… from getting surprised. meanwhile bruce is like!?!?!?!!?#just imagine them going crazy because they have no idea his powerset and they thought they did #his new siblings make a game of it #they get on missions and keep asking danny to do more and more impossible stuff just to see if he will reveal a new power #hey danny go scope out the area but make sure you arent seen ok #and hes like sure thing fam and goes invisible and intangible #doesn’t think to just take out the baddies and returns to them with a full floor plan and locatikn of all the baddies and drugs #like wtf #hey danny think you can do anything about that generator? and hes like sure thing fam and then freezes it #danny bro this guy is out of control! little help? and danny just walks up to the guy and overshadows him and handcuffs himself #brother daniel I dint think we can get in but theres a small hole here in the wall #would you be able to do anything about that? and instead of just walking thru the wall danny shifts his body and goes thru the hole #as if he had no bones and became liquid #the game gets intense and breaks bruce so he gives in first (yes he was playkng too) and just asks danny to show them his powers #he will say some shit like ‘ah hey chum think you can show us all your abilities? that was we can coordinate better in the field.’#dannys just like ‘yea daddio sure thing’ then proceeded to show off his entire move set minus wail until bruce showed him a chamber…#… that could ‘with stand’ his power (spoiler he destroyed that fucking toom lmao)#ok my spaghetti rings and meatballs have been done for a while and juliet is trying to eat them out the microwave so hopefully these tags #fed yall goobers #man I should have just made a second post lmao #stood in the kitchen too long typing and they got cold

a tired and disappointed mom i've been wanting to draw that one tfp concept art for a while, and since my internet decided to implode on itself, i decided to do exactly that to cope 🥲

some silly alternatives under the cut bc i thought they were funny 😂

#transformers #tranformers prime #tfp #megatron #maccadam #rkgk #⋘ 『 ─ noms' art; 』 ⋙#definitely forgot to fix some things here and there lmao #not really sure if i *should* be tagging tfp but uh #we ball ig 😂#you done goofed showing me that concept art #i will absolutely go to town with it 😩#i love masked/faceless characters that can somehow emote with their “faces” so much #zer0 from borderlands further solidified that for me 😭😭#yes‚ that last one is absolutely a reference to omen

what i like especially about the pronouns in the goblin emperor is that this language doesn't just have the T-V distinction (aka informal vs. formal second-person pronouns, in this case 'thou' vs. 'you'), it also has informal and formal first-person pronouns. having BOTH of these distinctions in the same language lets you fine-tune your tone by mixing and matching. with only one axis of formality, when you use informal pronouns, are you being familiar in an intimate way, or in an insolent or dismissive way? when you use formal pronouns, are you being polite or standoffish? you can't tell just from the pronouns; there's ambiguity. but a language where you can use a formal first-person pronoun in the same sentence as an informal second-person pronoun allows you to distance yourself (via the formal first) while also being familiar (via the informal second), thereby achieving the conversational tenor known to linguists as Fuck Thee Specifically.
