Rexlivesinacave - WOOOW.

Working on something...👀

I love libraries.

I'm browsing the WWI shelves (as you do) and notice a very old book about the war. I glance at the first pages that talk about how one day the war will be over and we'll look at this place and not see any signs of the battlefield.

Then it hits me. And I check the publishing date.

This book was printed before the war's end. Not written. Printed. The physical object was created in 1918, while the war in question was raging and the end was as yet uncertain.

Now I'm standing on the other side of the apocalypse, with this physical link to that era in my hands. I'm living proof that the war did end and life did go on and we can all look at the end of the world as a long-ago memory.

Reading old books is cool enough, connecting our minds and hearts through the ideas of people who lived long ago, but there's something extra profound about holding a copy of the book that comes from the time that it was written. It's a physical link between the past and the present connecting me to those long-ago people. A piece of the past come into the future that gives me the chance to almost take the hand of some long-ago reader, to hold something they could have held, connecting not just mentally but physically to their era, a moment of connection across more than a century.

Excuse me while I go weep.

Happy pride‼️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I posted this several times yesterday, but it never showed up. Hopefully, it does this time? Anyways, I drew Snufkin in summer clothes and a tail 🤭

Y'ALL 🙏🙏🙏

collecting (and eating) blueberries in the forest 🌲

the weekly (monthly?) prompt in the Moominvalley community was BLUEBERRY, so this is my contribution. if curious about the other submissions, go join the community 😉

I do not draw backgrounds, but I instantly thought of Swedish forests full of blueberries with this prompt, so I challenged myself.

and I went traditional! coloured pencils with some digital touch-ups and effects ✨

ROUND TWO OF LIKES CHARGE REBLOGS CAST ✨

I love all the acting choices David and Micheal made for their characters but one I'm especially obsessed with (and frankly I don't see it being talked about enough) is the body language/posture.

David took one look at Crowley and decided this boy is Bouncy™. He has cooked spaghetti for bones. Ninety percent of his walking is done by his shoulders actually. He might be man-shaped but he's actually a liquid constantly changing form to fully fill the container (chair) he's in.

Meanwhile Michael went - We'll he's an angel, of course he's prim and proper and carefully put-together. He has the posture and grace of a classically trained dancer. There is also One Million Bees under his skin at any given moment.

And they were so right.
