"Klymenastra Blep Is A Woman Of Many Talents. She Is A Writer, A Fortune Teller, A Local Hero; A Court

On a brightly lit Vaudevillian stage, six of the same woman, Astra, are lined up with pearly smiles and arms splayed wide in fanfare. They all gesture up to a seventh Astra, who cradles a bouquet of white roses on a podium centre-stage. They're each adorned with flapper dresses, beaded jewellery, and costumes from various occupations Astra has assumed. In the dimly lit foreground stands another Astra, who has stood from her seat in the audience. She is not smiling. She looks over her shoulder, towards the viewer, with a look of alarm. The playlist title, "Exactly who she says she is," is written across the top of the illustration in sprawling cursive.

The 'back cover' illustration for our fanmade Astra playlist. On the same stage as the first image, a single Astra sits alone with her knees tucked to her chest. A dim spotlight falls just short of illuminating her face. Text runs down the middle of the image listing each song on the playlist and its artist:
Doin' What I Please by Adelaide Hall
Are You Satisfied? by Marina and the Diamonds
Walking With Strangers by The Birthday Massacre
Terrible Things by April Smith and the Great Picture Show
Destroy Everything You Touch by Unwoman
The Wrong Song by Amanda Jayne
Sweet Hibiscus Tea by Penelope Scott
Cushions of Explanation by Eleisha Eagle
Scars by The Crane Wives
The Villain I Appear to Be by Connor Spiotto and Molly Pease

"Klymenastra Blep is a woman of many talents. She is a writer, a fortune teller, a local hero; a court arbiter, construction worker, a ship's boatswain. Recently she was a celebrity agent in Neptis. Except she's not actually any of those things. The singular talent that Klymenastra Blep has is lying."

this playlist and illustration are fanart for Burnt Cook Book Party, a wonderful TTRPG actual-play podcast! the playlist was made by myself and my partner in crime @janetofficial. if you're unfamiliar with BCBP or considering getting into it, this playlist doesn't explicitly spoil anything! listen and speculate to your heart's content (and consider listening to BCBP if you like good TTRPG actual play maybe?)

playlist links on SPOTIFY & YOUTUBE

and a google doc where we talk about song choices and character analysis for the playlist, if you're keen on that kind of thing (spoilers up to BCBP Episode 86!)

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

after all this time... i'm finally brave enough to make a post on tumblr...!

✦ hi! i'm robin! i wear a lot of hats, but currently i'm a postgrad student researcher, a freelance artist, and an occasional vendor at local artists' markets and conventions here in australia :)

✦ i love ttrpg actual play shows and podcasts! my favourites are worlds beyond number, burnt cook book party, dimension 20 (especially fantasy high) and naddpod (especially eldermourne)

✦ other media i'm into includes severance, knives out, the locked tomb, zero escape, ace attorney, game changer and splatoon. and my ocs/personal projects which may eventually leak onto this blog too :)

✦ i like sharks. and most aquatic life but especially sharks. you are always allowed to send me a cool shark

✦ i'm a busy guy and probably won't be super active here but who knows! you can find me under the same username on instagram (most active currently), bluesky, and twitter (for now)
