Hello and welcome! This is a personal blog where i post my interests and fics. The Adventure Zone has ever-so-slightly taken over. I'm always happy to hear from people!
Is there any solidarity available for kids who wrote the first 7 books of a planned trilogy exclusively while they were supposed to be paying attention in class because class was so boring focusing on it would have killed them with prejudice?
Throwing my hat into the ring: in Heart of it All, Nureyev wasn’t acting cold or calculated or suspicious - he just wasn’t acting like *Ransom* and neither Buddy nor Vespa have every seen *Nureyev* on a job
“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter
*missing the charging port on my phone* don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it
my two favourite things about this
everyone knows what this is
the scene was an adaptation of a scene from the original novel where instead of a charging port on a phone, it’s a winding key in a pocketwatch. I like to imagine people having this exact same kind of thought when they missed the watch keyhole 100 years ago
your tag “sometimes a historian is someone who etches marks on the wall to catalogue your growth” made me clutch my chest and sit down. yes. i’m literally going into a public history grad program next year and you just casually summed up the entire field and why i love it. thank you
here is a gravestone from ancient Athens, a young girl with her favorite pets.
here is a food-sharing scene from the Maya site Calakmul. when they remodeled the building, the people there packed this mural with mud to preserve it.
here is a child’s footprint stamped into clay in Mesopotamia more than 2000 years ago. many of these have been found, and some are inscribed with the children’s names.
we don’t want to forget each other. that’s history.
It’s been so long since I did proper concept stuff but I have resurrected my old workflow especially for a tentative design for the Universe’s Best SecUnit

[ID: four drawings of SecUnit/murderbot from The Murderbot Diaries, labelled “full armour”, “under armour (+ clear visor)”, “no armour (😐)”, and “definitely a legit human (V1.0)”.
The first drawing shows a humanoid figure in a black underskin and grey underarmour with patches of chunkier white armour over the top in places like joints and the outside of the limbs. It’s wearing a white helmet that’s shaped roughly like a rounded rectangle, which has a visor section at the front that’s blacked out and shiny. It’s labelled “bulky but durable”.
The second drawing is a stripped back version of the first, showing only the grey underarmour and the suit underneath. It’s labelled “less protective, more flexible”, and a patch of black material in between the first two drawings is labelled “carbon fibre-esque underskin”. The visor is also cleared to show some of the face inside the helmet.
The third drawing shows a toned human figure with light brown skin and very short dark hair. It’s wearing a dark t-shirt and slim cut cargo pants, and has exposed metal sections on its arms and on the side of its head, among other places. Its feet look like simple prosthetics, and it’s looking forward with a slight frown. A smaller drawing next to it shows a vertical chip slot in the back of its neck.
The fourth drawing shows the bot in a blue hoodie, dark high-collared shirt and similar cargo pants, this time with more pockets, as well as black work boots. Its hair is longer by a few centimetres and is straight, black and messy, with a section missing above the right ear where a metal section is exposed, and its eyebrows are also thicker. A smaller drawing labelled “2.0” next to it shows its head with the hair a few more centimetres longer, and the eyebrows slightly thicker again. End ID.]
