This article is pretty neat:
Today in “things that are fucking scary magical and also need to be in stories more because omfg”…
There should be a specific fashion item for keeping your sleeves rolled up. Like big clasping arm bracelets. I think this would improve morale in the gay community somewhat.
There is though
They’re called Sleeve Garters, they started off in the 19th century and where popular with musicians, gamblers, gunslingers and the occasional Victorian gentleman. Nowadays you can see bartenders wearing them

Well, I know I’ve been awol for a while and that this isn’t…strictly the XIV content you all follow me for, but what the hell.
You know how you occasionally get those silly fun AU ideas for your characters? Well one of mine took root in my head and I’ve decided to make it its own thing and bring it to life. Here’s the first 5 minutes of what I hope will become a long, fun series!

vexillology is weird. Sticking to Heraldry!
i like irish poetry. i like knowing a man called tadhg ó ruaic, fl. 1684, lost a game of cards to a girl called blánaid on purpose because he wanted her to top him
you penetrate my weak defence / teasing me with anxious love / i know the score; my turn to play / against your side i make my move ... blánaid, my dear, my favourite one / gentle, fragrant, guileless love / it’s time for you to trump my man / and ‘take’ me with a daring move ... come sit beside me, woman of the wavy hair / embrace me, bright branch of the cool grey eyes / resolve my torment, generous-gentle woman / and ‘take’ me quickly to your merciful bed

This year’s issue of Almost Real: A Speculative Biology Zine is mythology themed, so I wanted the cover critter to be a weird take on an extremely recognizable legendary beast.
The marsupial griffin is my shot at that, a large flying carnivore with a rear-facing pouch like a thylacine. Its unusual front incisors are continuously growing like rodent teeth, but exposed like a beak— nursing young have a gap in between them, but as they wean into sub-adults the gap closes and the teeth grow to a sharp hook for tearing into meat and carrion. Their thumbed hind feet somewhat resemble a primate’s, but with a set of sharp talons for capturing and gripping prey.
Our cover for this volume was illustrated by @ibenkrutt, who really knocked this design out of the park. If you’d like to support our contributing artists and acquire the zine, you can check out the campaign over here!

i met a polyam girl last week who calls all her partners, romantic or platonic, affections. she said oh yeah this is a picture an affection of mine from another city took. oh an affection taught me how to cut my hair. i'm still. thinking about it. to be someone's affection.
