Lt. Commander Killian: So what was your name again?

Nevularxi: I have not already told you. I’m afraid my name may not translate into your language.

Lt. Commander Killian: Oh yeah?

Nevularxi: I am named for a period of time on my home planet that surrounds the immediate aftermath of the second yearly equinox of our planet’s solar star. It’s the period following our fertile rainy season, and marked the beginning of the harvest in years of antiquity, as well as the coming of the colder, darker season which our species typically spends in isolation or hibernation. The period is considered to be a time of great liminality and spiritual importance in our ancient religions, although since the dawn of the modern technological age it has lost some of its transient meaning.

Lt. Commander Killian: …Okay, but i meant more like. how do I say your name.

Nevularxi: Oh, it’s nev-you-LARK-zee.

Lt. Commander Killian: Gotcha. by the way, your name in english is October.

#oc #humans are space orcs #these are original characters of mine btw #Killian Weir is a human scientist whose dad got them a high ranking official job through nepotism #and they’re very out of their depth since all of their credentials are academic and not in leadership #so they’re overqualified for the scientific and technological aspect of their job. and vastly under qualified for every other part of it #Nev is an alien who had to fight tooth and nail to claw her way up through the ranks. so she resents Killian a bit #but later in their story arc they fall in love and go against the hypercapitalist intergalactic regime together #so it’s ok #i don’t have a design for Nev quite yet #i know i want her to be blues and purples mostly #but i want there to be a little bit of a speculative biology aspect to her design #so i have to do some worldbuilding first before i settle on anything #i just know that i want her to be bipedal but with 4 arms #and i’m also imagining her with a bob haircut. whether it’s gonna be hair or feathers or something else remains to be seen #Killian is like. 6’3 ish red haired irish american. built like a jock sort of but unfortunately lacking the swag to be sexy #They’re a xenogeologist btw. <3 i love geology

the two academic years between don hume and bobby moch compels me more than i expected i have to say.....much to consider

#as a 4th year uni student the 2nd years are BABIES to me. this is the situation bobby and don will be in in 1936 #(i'm at 1935 in the book and having fun with it) #LIKE......idk it was probably a lot different in the 30s. in the US. with men who were on a sports team together #but it somehow feels like a huge gap anyway.....don hume voice woag shit the hot senior who yells at me a lot just kissed me #i think more people should be into very specifically the academic year difference #there's only a year between them in actual age that's less fun. but the upperclassman swag vs oooh a sophomore baby of it all IS great stuff #the boys in the boat #veni veni

besties I am obligated as the resident Medieval Bat Enthusiast to tell you all that this pin is back in stock in my friend George's shop

I obviously have snatched one up because this bat (BL Harley MS 3244 f 55v) is the best creature ever depicted in a medieval manuscript:

but just a PSA for my other medieval bat enjoyers!!!!

#I have been waiting for this to be back in stock for SO LONG because I SO regretted not buying it last time it went up in the shop #you should all check out george's shop if you're fans of weird medieval creatures there's pins and stickers #I also got the dog and bunny collar pin which will add swag to my fancy academic outfits #catch me medieval'd up at conferences etc

studying psychology is surprisingly (or unsurprisingly. tbh) more spiritual than being in catholic school im scared

#this plus the cronenberg fixation oh it's gonna be bad for me. actually it's really swag for me but as someone scared of drastic change #it's bad for me. like i'll think wow this is cool but then grieve the person i used to be even though i don't like her that much like.. girl #that makes no sense but u get it #anyway it's really bad i keep using the words transcendent and divine in my academic essays lahsmskskjskshdjs like omg get me outttttt

if meryl stryfe was a real person she and i would be best friends i just know it

#grymms spectacular fucking posts #trigun #meryl stryfe #especially tristamp meryl. we both got that academic overachiever who wasn't prepared for the real world swag #also we're both short we could bond over that. i mean she's much shorter than me but still. #90% of our conversations would be us complaining about shit with each other

[moleshow]

this might as well be the whole page. there is really nothing to say about it

#highest AMI in the city.... and no swag #no fucking way they have all that money and they choose to live by like.. roscoe village ? #i know people who've done academic research on the city and upon learning north center has the city's highest AMI they are like . shocked #you would think it would be.. the near north side #or maybe lincoln park #but North Center? North Center? fucking North Center?

weak ass vaguely feminine presenting nerd who doesnt leave the house and has never gotten bitches: i should get a hot and sexy girlfriend. And get buff. Maybe become a man while im at it.

#maybe ill reinvent myself maybe i wont who knows #society if i wasnt raised by my mom: #im not an academic by nature its just the ambiguously nd swag made everyone think i had a future in science #really all i want is to be the human equivalent of a stupid but loyal and aesthetically pleasing dog

[blinkbones]

current physical-mental state is "drowning in the last dregs of my university career" and "watching my workplace turn comically toxic" and "intense budgeting to make sure i can finish this year" and "despite everything, is ok, and my flat smells like cake"

#more okay than last year at any rate #but i swear to you tumblr. this is the last killer year i subject myself to #in uni terms anyhow #i've been really reckless and i keep being reckless all for the Pursuit of Knowledge and Academic Swag (and a good job) #and hopefully it pays in the end! #because if not i'll just be a husk crawling out of hell from the way i came with nothing to show for it #but oh well... if that happens i'll be okay too. #chatterbones

Aug 2023, bookbinding of The Silent Isle Imbowers by Tharkuun.

I’m sooo so so pleased to finally share this! I have been actively working on this for many months and waited until Tharkuun received her copy before posting so the final result would be a surprise.

-----------About this bookbinding under the cut

This binding has been one of the more elaborate pieces I have attempted so far. This has been my first binding where I (1) made three copies of a piece at once, (2) used a modified a historical illustration, (3) collaborated directly with another artist on the decorative elements, (4) finished matching art for the cover and title page, and (5) layered paint and heat-transfer vinyl for the covers. These are also (6) the first non-tiny books I have made with this style of hinge and cover attachment.

Pretty much immediately after I first read this story I felt I had to make myself a copy of this. I had a strong mental image of a vintage-looking cover for a fairy tale, with a deceptively simple design of flowers on the cover, probably with fancy metallic accents, the kind of thing you’d find in an interesting used bookstore with no summary, no text on the back, no dust jacket, just the flowers and maybe a title. I’m going to make a separate post about making this cover design a reality because oh man has it been a journey lol! I designed and drew the digital art for the cover (digital because of the cut and application method), as well as the corresponding title page illustration (pencil and dip pen, scanned, title added digitally).

When I asked Tharkuun about it she was excited to suggest I get in touch with quillingwords, who generously agreed to collaborate with me! Among her talents quilling writes calligraphy, and hand wrote both the book title and chapter headers for me to incorporate into my plans. Check OUT those chapter headers! So fancy! A font could never!! Quilling has also been very encouraging and let me yell about this project in dms for months so the final result could be a surprise for Tharkuun. Thank u so much quillingwords, your calligraphy adds invaluable amounts of swag to this project.

I was going to do some kinda neat font for the chapter headers, but quilling’s work is too cool for that and I decided to use a modified piece of a historical illustration instead. The illustration also happens to be cool as heck: I was browsing the Artstor database (an academic quality resource available for free via Jstor, my beloved) and found E. N. Neureuther's 1836 gorgeous etching for etching of the fairy tale Briar Rose, an illustration made for a printing of a Brothers Grimm recorded German fairy tale with Sleeping Beauty elements. Much to my delight this illustration not only matches the general look I wanted but is actually relevant to the story, itself a Sleeping Beauty spinoff.

Slightly less stylistically consistent are the endpapers, which are prints of two different paintings by Arnold Böcklin: Isle of the Dead (1883) in the front and Isle of Life (1888). The first painting had occurred to me as an excellent visual to go with the story, and Tharkuun and I discussed this and agreed that pairing it with the related later, more optimistic piece was too thematically appropriate to resist.

I had fun and learned a lot making these books and I am very pleased with the result!!

Materials: Archival bookboard, cardstock, cotton cheesecloth mull, archival PVA glue, linen thread coated in beeswax, paper cord, red cotton embroidery floss. Blue cotton backed with archival paper, acrylic paint, machine cut black and gold heat-transfer vinyl. Laser printed text and illustrations. Metallic scrapbooking paper.

Vote mob in the @autismswagsummit and support this emotionally repressed, academically challenged and terrifyingly powerful autistic 14 yo and his gaggle of overenthusiastic friends today..!!! (Or. Today as in when the voting starts again ig)

[ID: three drawings of Mob from Mob Psycho 100 interacting with one character in each concerning the autism swag summit.

The first one is a comic of him and Ritsu. In the first panel, Ritsu is clutching his phone so tight it's shaking, the screen showing the result of the Donnie vs Kris poll wherein Donnie had won. The background is a purple gradient, and he says "no..." The next panel, the background a darker purple with wavy swirls, shows Ritsu hunched over, hair falling over his shadowed eyes, teeth grit as he continues "no- this can't be...! I won't allow it, no, no-". He gets interrupted with "Ritsu, are you alright-" and the final panel brightens to a pastel peach, Ritsu looking back, distraught, at Mob, yelling "YOU'RE GONNA LOSE AT AUTISM NII-SAN". Mob, who is simply standing there, in his gym shorts and a half tucked in pink shirt, holding a glass of milk, replies "h?"

The second image is one done in red and green tones, of Dimple and Mob. Mob sits at his desk with a tired expression, one hand curled to his temple as he does his homework, Dimple hovering over him with his fists balled, as he says, "Do you want me to go beat that guy up?". Mob replies, "No, Dimple." Dimple continues, "I follow you 24/7 so I know more than anyone how much you should win this." Mob replies, "That's creepy. Just help me with my maths homework, Dimple."

The third is of Reigen and Mob. Mob has a finger raised, his aura coating his hand, as he looks back tiredly at Reigen, who has one hand on his hip and the other on Mob's shoulder, smiling cockily and sweating slightly. The background a simple light yellow, the both of them colored in pastel pinks and illuminated by a teal light that comes from Mob's power. Reigen says, "It's okay, Mob, no matter what, you're still my #1 autism." Though the annotation beneath his words, pointing to him, clarifies, "has no idea what's going on." End ID.]

insofar as transfemininity describes a specific relationship to transmisogyny (which is a fact about the world and a structure used for the underclassing of a specific class of people) i would just like to suggest that it is important for anyone thinking about the term to seriously consider what their relationship to transmisogyny is, and to consider to what extent they belong to the demographic deliberately underclassed by transmisogyny vs. the group of people who can wield transmisogyny as a cudgel against this underclass

I dunno man I just don't really think I care too much about an AFAB person using the term if it's meaningful for them. As much as we can be academic about this stuff ultimately I feel like your inherit feelings about your own gender are the best determinate of what label you want to use and if you come to the conclusion that transfemme is what you want then I'm not gonna be one to stop you since, as a trans woman myself, I get that femininity is different for others and also man who fucking carrrres I genuinely don't think you need to read Queer Theory and its intersection with other Topics (altho I recommend it) to figure out what you wanna call yourself. If someone irl told me they were AFAB transfemme I'd go "yo swag, that's really interesting" and that would really be the extent of it.
