It’s been a long while! Though I’m no longer active on this platform I wanted to peek in and share what I’ve been working on! I’ve unplugged from most of my social media outlets so it’s limited my sharing capacity, but been better for me personally. I’ve grown a lot in my traditional art, so check me out at Lazy Elf’s Easel on Instagram, and give my newest project a peek!

So a while back I won a cheap eBay auction listing for a collection of love letters from the first world war.
They arrived today, and...the listing was WAY more than I expected for the price I won it for. There's over 100, and they're not just from WWI, but from 1906 (earliest I've found so far) through to 1915.
Charlie writes to his girlfriend, Gertrude. This is the most beautiful, lovesick stuff I've ever read. He sends her so many letters, sometimes twice a day, and lots of poems. He seems to have been an artist, as he talks a lot about small exhibitions of his stuff, and included a flyer for one. He also talks about how her parents don't approve of them and how he's desperately awaiting the day they'll be married.
I haven't found the latest of the letters, but the fact it's up until 1915 and then stops...doesn't give me hope for a happy ending.
This man continuously refers to his precious beloved Gertie as his queen and goddess, and whilst most of it is sickly sweet, there's some raunchy stuff too, with him talking about how he can't wait until they have a little house together and can 'please each other all day'...
There's. So many.
I'm going to put them in order by date, read them through, and then maybe even transcribe them so we can find out a bit about Charlie and Gertie's love story.
This man was absolutely lost in the sauce
Y'all he writes about sending her pressed poppies and postcards for her collection 😭😭😭
111 years after Charlie got his dick touched in 1910, I decided to tell you all about it. Sorry Charlie.
Some more finds:
And some CODE!!!
Also all this is poems:
UHHHHH...👀👀👀
This has a lot of notes so I need everyone to know:
They got married 😭😭😭❤ (thank you to @lovesjustachemical for finding this!!!)
Kinda fucked up that you just stole somebody's mail
Don't know how to explain to you that acquiring, preserving, and transcribing historical ephemera that would have otherwise just been trashed from people who have been dead for over 50 years and don't appear to have any living descendants isn't the same as 'stealing someone's mail' but Tumblr never ceases to amaze me with it's cold takes.
This is beautiful, and I love that their story wasn’t lost 🥰

Yeeee!!!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Jenny reuniting with her mom returned to her true form (after being trapped for a decade + in the Void as a demon >.>). A plot I’d had so many hopes for and still have a lot of feelings about, so maybe I’ll someday do a few blogs for these lovelies.
Then Jenny some years later with little Charlotte, and their adopted Ikthian son! I was going to include Jenny’s far future son, too but toddler Charlotte is too cute :3 Jen’s not a traditional mom, but man, she takes on motherhood like a champ, and loves her kids fiercely.
"Gods in their own right -- but the Tribunal are ambitious mer who forged their own paths and touched the right magical rock. We rise and fall by our natures, and they and I are no different. Many are great, but it is to Azura at who's shrine a candle I will light."
Y’all ever just get mad thirsty for some cuddles?
For so affection
I’m kind of glad to hear that everyone does this. Because it means it isn’t colonizer bullshit, it’s what everyone does. It’s just people discovering new things. Everyone goes:
“Oh hey these people have their own style of [language A’s word for thing. Say, what do you call it?”
“Oh it’s [language B’s word for thing].”
“Got it, it’s [language B’s word for thing] variety [language A’s word for thing]”
The human race just naturally moon moons itself
Bread Bread
You were a bright light
You were a fistfight
Masquerade It was just going to be a sketch, then colored lines, then I GUESS I had to draw her shoe, and some rendering later here we are. Jenny’s ready for every intention and intruige ;3
“I like it here, in your dreams. It’s comforting.”
I struggled to get this piece done all year, and I’m super proud of it. @wethatkindoforc and I’s beautiful kids!
Did I share this? I don’t think I shared this. Here’s a Dunmer ;)
