My dear friend Jonathan caught in the clutches of a beast most foul 😔
Unbelievable how people want to be mean to him and he literally looks like this

I wish I had had a Kodak for the little smile with which Raffles shook his head, for it was one that he kept for those great moments of which our vocation is not devoid. All this time he had been wearing his hat, tilted a little over eyebrows no longer raised. And now at last I knew where the gold cup was. -A Jubilee Present

All the chapter banners I made for To Embrace The Shadow
Some of them were easily painted, others I had to fix or redo, but I'm happy with all of them :-) it was a fun personal project

masks and helmets that hides someone's face in such a way that they become the face themselves my beloved
these are all creatures to me
Angel of War, angular and strange, gleaming silver and gold, Angel of Wonder, pure and one-eyed, looking to stars new and old, Angel of Harvest, simple and hidden, bring nature's sweetness to all, Angel of Health, mysterious and fine, beacon when life starts to fall, Angel of the Deep, crooked and cage-like, guide us across the sea, Angel of Solace, protect us from evil, lead us to where we are free.
Was inspired by the previous post a while back, and had been working on this on and off for a long while.

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"
some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.
benefits of mg:
- easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")
- ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually
- ends in a soft vowel sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)
- fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter
- distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)
- wizard.
drawbacks:
- there aren't any
- yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.
