Me: so what’s up are you still in a blood feud with that boy

Hook: he’s not — we’ve been over this, he doesn’t age. I think he’s older than me

Me: I’m just fucking with you how’s Smee

It's live now!!

So many delightful details!!

A close-up of the left side of the image with a kid playing Gusli and a little hamster looking at the child. Another child is playing with a stick horse (with antelope head instead of the horse). There are wooden toys around them

A close-up of the adults. They wear decorated outfits. There is a building behind the arch in the center with a three-headed dragon behind it. The wall above the arch is decorated with tiles and a mural with a white stoat on one side and a boar on the other side

A close-up of the rug with wooden animal toys and wooden blocks. There's a small golden hamster on the right side and a chicken on the other side.

A close-up of the right bottom part of the image with a kid playing a knight while holding a wooden sword and a shield with a white wolf on it. On the right side there's a chicken walking on the carpet surrounded by wooden toys

Some details

(Have you seen Prospect, Spike, either the proof of concept short or the full film? It’s what I think of a lot when it comes to an established world that existed before the story we’re seeing and will keep existing after)

This post is about a ‘historical’ movie but the casual, background world building it points out has the same energy of like, the battered product boxes in Prospect: www.tumblr.com/tbqtalks/794...

Anyway, I went to bed last night thinking about the internal gut workings of a pretend monster from a deeply unfinished writing project and heck, if scientific illustrations of imaginary critters are the carrot I need then how terribly on brand.

I ramble a lot in these but I think I still like this line a bit: “You're reading this update for free on a subscription site because at some point this year I decided that the challenge of clicking a link was enough currency of support to read these little updates.”

BIRTHDAY! Have a delicious one!!!

Public weekly update at the usual places, where I talk a bit about writing/what I'm writing. Please also enjoy this cactus on a 90f day last Sunday (it is rainy and truly cold today: transitory seasons!).

A stitch in some time • B.Zedan Nearly 15 years ago I embroidered every day. Here's some favourite works from then and how stitching is in my life now.

The weirdly chopped-up week set me off my schedule, but here's this week's blogpost, looking back at some of the embroidery I've done over the years. bzedan.com/blog/a-stitc...

There's also racial dynamics that's often ignored. It's white figureheads that are often the loudest about remote learning being bad, meanwhile Indigenous and Black kids lost caregivers from Covid at higher rates. And the horrors they faced are almost never mentioned in opinion pieces.

God, kids use words like a filet knife..
