First repaint of 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' is (kinda) finished! I'm still searching for my gouache paints for some highlights, but otherwise... I really prefer those classical repaints with watercolors.
original painting under the cut:
LadyCibia I absolutely adore all your chibi art, especially your chibi Witcher series! Your recent art with the book versions of the characters made me so happy because the Witcher books have less of a fandom online than the Netflix show and the games so I love when people make art/meta/fic, etc. about them. What were your favorite scenes/parts of the books?
What a lovely message, thank you very much!! ; v ; 💛💛💛 I'm so happy you're enjoying them! Let me offer you a silly doodle inspired by my favourite short story and then I'll answer your question under the cut X3
@nocna-orchidea YOU'RE NOT WRONG THANK YOUUUUUUU
Ngl sometimes your chibis feel like a Traumatize Geralt Speedrun. The chibis are winning
"death march" more like chibi march
Daydreaming about a scenario wherein Yen needs to get into this fancy court party but only powerful aristocrat couples are allowed in so naturally, she goes with her husband Viscount Julian of Lettenhove
Meanwhile Geralt is sulky and upset because Yen was throwing him smug looks the entire time she was dressing his bard with fancy clothes and calling him her darling husband and poor Ciri is dealing with all of it back at camp
Nr. 1: the books would be 90% shorter
Nr. 2: see nr 1.
WTF are those obelisks on the right?…
Tasty obelisk fries..
“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.
“It’s digestible”
“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:
The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.” Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index. Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5] In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s. Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco. Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.

The more you know! :D
I have learned a new thing today.
Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated
I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.
but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!
Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.
Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food
And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes
This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.
It’s a net profit of information. 12/10 post
May I present an easy fix to the recent casting announcement called "Geralt but there is always a horse"
How Jaskier met Pegasus:
A drunk post-mountain Jaskier "sneaking" into the stables and finding the nearest horse with white mane while he proceeds to cry into it: "Sorry horse, let me pretend for a minute, I need to get something off my chest. - You understood nothing, you dumb giant oaf! I couldn't have been more obvious these twenty years!"
The horse snorts.
Jaskier: "Oh my Melitele you even sound like that bastard!" - proceeds to cry and buys the horse the next morning for double it's worth.

*drunk at a banquet*
Yennefer: Remember you told me you can seduce anyone?
Jaskier: That’s right.
Yennefer: Bet you a hundred coins you can't seduce Geralt.
Jaskier:
Jaskier: *puts down his drink*
Jaskier: It’s on.
***
Jaskier, approaching Geralt: Wanna kiss me and help me win a bet against Yennefer? I'll buy you ale with half the coin.
Geralt:
Geralt: *shrugs* Why not.
Geralt: *wraps an arm around Jaskier’s waist and pulls him into a kiss*
***
Triss: You've just lost a hundred.
Yennefer, watching the two idiots kissing: *smirking* That was the plan.

listen.
even if trump wins, it doesn’t mean it’s over. congress will not let him do most of what he wants to do (i mean, a lot of it’s unconstitutional, lmao). even if they do, it will a take a long time, perhaps even bleeding over into the next president’s term (and i hope to god that next president is a democrat). so do not assume that everything he proposes will happen! and voting is not our only way to participate in the government. protest. lobby. fight. don’t just accept a trump victory. if he wins, we need to fight harder than ever. we can’t give up. we can mitigate the effects of a trump presidency, but we need to fight.
millennials are a powerful group. we can make our voices heard. i know it’s scary. but it’s more important than ever to fight. don’t give trump an easy victory. fight as hard as you can for the entire 4 years he might be president. and help each other, protect each other. lift up your head and fight together. it’s easy to be discouraged, but the fight is not over.
i’m scared, too. i’m scared for my life. and take the time you need to take a deep breath and get away from everything for a little while. but in the end, if trump wins, we cannot make that easy for him. people are making a trump presidency seem like doomsday right now, but congress, checks and balances, and the actions of people – like us – can stop most of it from happening. the only bad thing that is really guaranteed to happen under a trump presidency is the appointment of some conservative supreme court justices (but even then congress has to approve them).
so tl;dr: if trump wins, the fight is not over. take a deep breath and hold your head high. he cannot, and will not, do everything that he’s proposed. so keep fighting and don’t let him destroy everything we’ve worked for.
