Support (w/ so many monthly perks!)
finally finished this little man after 2 years of art block lol! I lov u leaf dragon my childe
Been re-listening to Dealing with Dragons recently (anyone who knows me knows I will not shut up about how formative this series was for me re: many things but mostly dragons) and so I got the urge to draw Cimorene again (I sketched her like a year or so ago, but can't find it, so I thought a redesign with my new style was perfect!)
Also, my fav book reviewer (I have one of those now?? What??) Just covered the first book of the series, so if you want to check out a great reviewer AND my favorite book of all time, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMaKkwHQQKM
Not me trying to speak into existence an Enchanted Forest Chronicles graphic novel series that I get to adapt, whatttt noooo... ^_-
People are talking about how reading Dungeon Meshi gives them an internal monologue Senshi for eating properly I think we all need to adopt an internal monologue Chilchuck at work. Like the boat is literally sinking and he's just watching it happen because he's on his lunch break.
This is the Union Chilchuck, reblog him to affirm your own worth as a worker and entitlement to regular breaks
Aylin & Isobel, reunited
Love that this is what Gideon thinks about while skipping leg day
Trying out a new little thing given how patreon has changed its site layout, and since I really need to hit a particular milestone before August, I thought this would be a fun way to do it!
So, here's the deal! Every time there's a new monthly/yearly supporter OR a pledge increase of any amount here, or on Ko-fi, the card will get a stamp! If we hit 5 new and increasing folks, I'll release a supporter-exclusive drawing for you all to enjoy. If we're able to hit 10 stamps, I'll make another (more fancy) drawing for you all!
If, by some happenstance, support increases across all platforms by $100 in a month, the next month I'll drop a bonus Fates Errant page, as a little fun incentive ^_^
But that's just a little side bonus! And if we're able to hit the next milestone (I'd really love to reach $3500 a month in order to support my family with my wife out of work) then comic pages will be able to increase regardless!
So let's get some bonus sketches, shall we? ^_^
Join here!
UPDATE April 19th: Three increasing supporters have gotten us to two stamps already! Woo!
Three stamps in now! WOOO! Only 2 to go to get the bonus sketch!!
Remember, any level of support gets another stamp for the card, so if you like my work & enjoy cool monthly perks, please consider joining!
Less than a week to go until the end of the month and only 2 stamps still to go until a bonus drawing for supporters!
Seriously, a dollar or two goes a long way, so if you like my work, please consider supporting me! You get a lot of bang for your buck!
Got a little more time left in the month, but three new/increasing supporters is the most I've had in a while! It's been a rough half a year ahah ^_^;;
If you know anyone looking to join, anyone you think would like my work, if we can get two more stamps before the end of the month, all supporters will get a bonus sketch just for you all! ^_^
Thank you so much for all the support this month, and I'm getting back to normalcy after wrapping up Pathways volume 2. Can't wait to have my brain back and be only focusing on one book at a time XD
A little heated table is a kotatsu. A kotatsu for your cat is a catotsu.
We still have our catotsu ten years later.

The Creeping Terror (1964) [colorized]
on Episode 1 of Dead Boy Detectives and it's already perfect, everything I ever wanted so far, I can't wait to watch more!!! One of those stories that makes me excited to go out and create ^_^
I didn’t notice this the first time I watched Leverage (or the sixth), but when I posted a GIF of Hardison last week I noticed something…
The line is adorable, the writing fantastic, but the big thing I noticed is YOU CAN SEE HARDISON. Aldis Hodge is lit up so you can see his face easily.
Here’s another GIF.
And another…
So, here’s the thing. In most shows black actors fade in the background. They’re lit incorrectly and the dark background combined with the dark skin means the character vanishes. Especially on shows with cops and a lot of white people.
Poor David Sinclair (Alimi Ballard) of Numb3rs is invisible in every night scene because he’s not lit up correctly.
Before the advent of colored TV there were more black actors. They were common almost. But with color came the problem that a dark background makes a fair skinned person stand out while making a darker skinned person vanish. The Hollywood solution was to stop hiring darker skinned people. (Not a good idea).
In the first GIF Hardison is in a darker room. He should have vanished, they back-lit him, had ground lights, and framed him well.
Same with the second on, notice the light on his head. He’s glowing like an angel.
Third GIF… notice the lamp placement? The light almost washes out the color of the green towel behind Hardison, but it means the viewers see him perfectly. And isn’t that really the goal?
this is obviously about racism but also some part of you looks at this gorgeous human and thinks “OF COURSE THEY WANTED HIM BATHED IN SOFT LIGHT SO THAT WE COULD ALL GAZE UPON HIM AND BASK”
There’s a bit in one of the DVD commentaries where they talked about working with the lighting and not shooting until everyone is lit.
To be honest, yes to the above but also the real skill is when Hardison and Parker share a scene. Because they’re about as polar opposite as can be in terms of ideal lighting … But if a cable show produced on the smell of an empty rag can pull it off, no one has any excuse.
Leverage used a lot of the same crew that Star Trek:TNG and DS9 had used. The lighting techs were equally adept on those series. TNG was typically lit very bright, DS9 typically lit very dark, but you could always see what was happening. (And they both aired long before High Def televisions, so no excuse there!) You could hang out in Engineering with dark skinned Geordi and pale skinned Data and clearly see what they were both doing. You could hang out at the bar with a gray Cardassian, an orange-ish Ferengi, a brown Klingon, a black human, and a white Trill without losing focus on anyone. You could take in all those lovely makeup and costume details the various aliens had, whether it was a night shot or a bright morning, without having to squint.
I especially appreciate that kind of talent when I think about the last season of Game of Thrones, where they chose to do a huge night battle with a thousand extras, dressed them all in stylized costumes and intricate battle makeup, spent millions of dollars on fancy special effects, and then decided to light the whole episode so darkly that most viewers could barely see any of it.
Just in case you're still taking High Republic suggestions, maybe young Keeve and little Reath? I like to think Sskeer used to Padawansit for Jora, so Keeve is friends with both Reath and Des
POV: You're newly knighted and a bunch of Masters give you a "mission" and you've already lost 2 padawans

April 28, 2024 - An unintentionally funny video by a zionist propagandist shows off some good organisation and discipline at the UCLA encampment for Palestine.

Ah... do people not know about Memri TV?
Like for folks who don't know Memri is an American owned media "monitoring organisation" founded by Israelis that basically takes clips from Muslim (usually Arab or Iranian afaik) broadcasts with a focus on more marginal "extremist" rhetoric. Its essentially an Israeli propaganda mill, so that there's a singular source that islamophobes and the like can point to, to show the barbarity of the orient, they even mistranslate and misrepresent parts of these broadcasts to fit this goal.
You may recognise it from memes like this one which is currently popular on here:
But there are dozens of memes (some of the further edited) that are from "Memri TV" on the Internet such as these:.
But there are dozens of other screencaps throughout the internet where the entire joke is essentially to look at Muslims as if they're primative barbarians and laughing at them from the outside in. Ofc if you see Muslims themselves sharing these screencaps it's different but this kind of humour was really popular on image boards for the longest time for a reason.
Leverage 4.11 | The Experimental Job ↳ bonus:
I love everything about this scene, especially since throughout this episode, Eliot is pretty controlled and calm. He doesn't react to the CIA guy's goading, and he's generally pretty zen (well, he's grumpy, but that's basically his version of zen).
But the thing that makes him truly angry and go all out? Hardison is in danger. You can see his demeanor change the moment he knows Hardison needs his help. And it's beautiful.
