… I promise I’m actually drawing things other than Forseth and Crissa kissing. But I couldn’t resist. #someonetowatchoverme #theelementals

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.

This is absolutely me with The Rise of Skywalker. I love that film as much as I love the Original Trilogy and the Prequels. The movie absolutely was rushed, a good chunk of it is fairly shaky, but I still enjoy the crap out of it every time I put it on, and for me that's enough.

I literally dressed up as Bunnicula for Halloween one year as a kid. The fact that Victor Garber, one of my favorite actors to ever join the Arrowverse, did most of the audiobooks is incredible!!!

I'm thrilled to say I've been called on to create poster art for a real steam railway! πŸ˜€

The Avon Valley Railway now has this on display at their main station. More details below - please read on!

For someone like me, it's just sheer exhaustion from everything else. I barely have the energy for my own projects with the state of things, and as much as I'd love to be supporting others, it just isn't possible even on a social level most of the time.

A two-panel comic featuring two characters. In the first panel, the left side depicts Conall, a man with teal eyes that glare at something off-screen. He has golden hair with thick sideburns and is wearing a dark outfit reminiscent of 1800s fashion.

On the right side, Bishop is glaring at Conall, whose speech bubble reads, β€œI was not expecting that.” Bishop looks incredulous.

The second panel shows the same drawing, but this time, Conall is looking at Bishop with a raised eyebrow. Bishop now has his hands up, vaguely gesturing, and says, β€œBut I was expecting not to expect something so it doesn’t count.”

The artist’s tag is β€œSueDraws.”

A silly colored chibi-like drawing of Mythseeker characters Bishop and Conall. The left, Bishop appears almost feral as he has his arms slightly raised, being yanked back by his grey scarf. He’ being held tightly by the man on the right.
Conall tightly holds the scarf, as if to keep Bishop in place. He has a lot cigarette and stands stiff and straight ahead, appearing unamused.

A two-panel, drawing depicts an unexpected moment between two male characters. The top panel shows Bishop, confidently looking ahead, holding a document titled β€œRedmoon Report - L. Grosvenor.” He is dressed in his signature navy trench coat and white tie ensemble. A speech bubble reads, β€œThat would be your mother!”

The bottom panel contrasts with the top one. Conall, looking back at Bishop, appears unamused and clearly confused. One eyebrow is slightly raised. He wears a maroon turtleneck. Conall’s speech bubble reads, β€œI beg your pardon?”

A chibi-like, colored sketch. Bishop on the left slightly hunches. He looks conniving, mouth open like he’s chuckling the words above him: β€œHEH HEH HEH.”
Conall stands stiffly on the right, arms behind his back, looking annoyed, saying β€œYou’re a β€”β€” Idiot.”

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

It seems pointless even to say this, but the Fourth Amendment does not permit federal agents to kick down every door in an apartment building just because *some* people in that building are allegedly undocumented. Even in the unlikely event they had a warrant, warrants have to be specific.

No art of her yet, but Evelynn is Bisexual. She is the narrator protagonist of book one of Legacy of the World Trees and is also one of my favorite characters I've ever created.

In addition, several of my Bionicle Legacies fanfic characters are queer including multiple members of the Toa Aura.

A cartoony infographic with the text

BI REMINDER
Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary bisexuals exist
Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they re attracted to them

Just a reminder before the β€œbig announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull β€˜Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

One of the trailers on that disc is for a game that didn't actually release until much later. Lego Bionicle was eventually saved by fans after they got ahold of the final development build a few years ago and have worked to polish it.
