Fun fact about me
I had HORRIBLE handwriting my entire childhood. Consistently got failing grades on homework and tests because no one could read my writing.
And then I hit middle school. I saw the "popular girls" getting praised for their stupid cutesy heart over the I writing. I saw people I could run mental circles around without breaking a sweat getting good grades, because the teacher could read their writing easier.
So I started copying it.
And wouldn't you know, my grades improved!
But of course, if you know me, you already know....there's no WAY I was gonna stop there. Oh no.
As a ADHD/Autistic, I did what any self respecting nerd introvert would do- I hit the library. And I researched. The evolution of the written language, the evolution of alphabets and writing styles from Ancient Greece all the way through the Spencerian movement.
And I fell into calligraphy. I hyperfocused.
And over the course of a year, developed my own cursive hand (going from never writing in cursive) that was a loose blend of Palmer, Spencerian, Chaucurian and 16th century Italian italics, with a lot of acender and defender flourishes.
I handed in homework in 15th century German High Gothic blackletter.
I did reports in 17th century italics.
And my teachers went from hating me for my horrible, illegible handwriting, to loving the sudden shift to legible bubble letters, to hating me again because they couldn't read my writing again, but for a different reason.
Only now, they didn't really have a good reason to be mad, because if they admitted to not being able to read Chaucerian font, they'd be admitting that they couldn't comprehend someone performing at a level of education and familiarity with the written language far above their own skill set (yes I had one teacher actually admit that to me in 8th grade. I genuinely respected her for it and picked a font that was easier to read than blackletter for her class).
And so began my descent into the rabbit hole of medieval illumination and calligraphy.
And so now, 25 years later, I do stuff like this:

Bob Ross once said, "A talent is just a skill you're willing to practice." I heard that, ran with it, and never looked back.
That’s so fucking dope
ok!
look at this thing
mr slab
Etho is in a fishtank! Now why is he there?
edit: meant to queue this oops. have an extra etho
Found this little thing in my old drawings and I’m not sure if I’ve shared it before or not, but I’m sharing it again because they are SUCH A GOOD DUO.
There is definitely some deeper meaning, not only the fact that i wanted to draw etho and the sky XD
Here is Etho in his natural habitat, the Canadian woods
Etho got cooked and now he’s in the vegetable soup!
girls when the cage is all they know
(bonus under the cut)
more inconsequential hermit headcanons because y'all make them suffer too much:
- bdubs is lactose intolerant but in complete denial about it, he WILL kill you if you try to bring it up
- mumbo gets the hiccups every time he gets too cold
- tango really loves bugs and will cry if someone hurts an insect, even if it's just an accident
- etho is really good at french braiding hair and gem forces him to do her hair whenever she can
- false can make arrows the fastest out of anyone on the server, they've held competitions but nobody can ever beat her
- keralis is immune to all poison from food, and he always makes spider farms early on because spider eyes are his favourite snack (everyone else thinks he's insane)
Etho is hiding in a robin’s nest! I wonder what he’s hiding from…
efo
I heard we were leaning into the “Wolves of Wool Street” bit, and to also make it weird.
This was specifically inspired by @theminecraftbee ‘s post!
