The Londoners…. I Might Formally Introduce Them Later Who Knows ???? Not Me

First proper blog, wahoo! I made an account for reblogs and browsing but hey, look, I'm actually posting now! Insane, isn't it?

comic done for a project assignment a few years back!

"P drowns in PELIGIN, the colour of the deepest zee. V marks VIOLANT when blood is shed in a spired place. A wakes APOCYAN, the blue of memory and brightest coral. Behind your mirror, V names VIRIC, the colour of shallow sleep. C lights COSMOGONE, the colour of remembered suns. I is for IRRIGO. No one remembers why. G is lost in GANT, which remains when all other colours are eaten." -- Pages from 'The Neathbow', Sunless Sea

Here they are! All seven fountain pen inks I've picked for the Neathbow.

Peligin: Diamine Tempest (dark, dark, dark blue with lots of gold shimmer and a slight red sheen)

Violant: Diamine Polar Glow (electric blue with an intense red sheen)

Apocyan: Diamine Spearmint Diva (teal with silver shimmer and a slight pink sheen)

Viric: Diamine Neon Lime (lime green with lots of silver shimmer)

Cosmogone: Diamine Citrus Ice (bright orange with lots of silver shimmer)

Irrigo: Diamine Pansy (violet with gold-black sheen)

Gant: Dominant Industry Downpour (warm gray, no sheen, no shimmer)

Of all these inks, Downpour is my favorite. It might look like a nothing ink next to all the sheeners and shimmerers, but it has lovely shading and is easy on the eyes. I use it every day for doodling.

Keep in mind that as per Failbetter's own words, the Neathbow is actually quite variable in how it appears, given that its colors are a) unreal, and b) colors. This selection is just my personal interpretation (with a few grabbed from Bruno's unofficial list), and it is not any more "correct" than others. Feel free to assemble your own tasting flight of Neathbow inks if you have the means.

All drawings were done with a Duke 209 (fude nib). Good god, I never want to change out so much ink ever again.

Here is your mission.

Each time there is attention given to JK Rowling's bait:

There should be equal or greater attention given to trans organizations in UK (even global ones too), trans creators, trans fundraisers, trans resources, trans safety, trans joy, and actual support (especially to transfems)

Not just of doomscroll. Not just focusing on seeing unfiltered TERF rhetoric, JKR's non-stop hatred of trans women, and Harry Potter discourse over n over.

Too much hopelessness and frustration can be deadly !

other than that...

its very easy to find lists of popular "goodreads" trans books, trans musicians, trans actors, trans video creators, trans game makers, trans streamers, etc.

but is also satisfying to find your own niche trans friend creators + indie + regular people around yourself.

Survival and supporting and community is important.

What Did The Thunder Say, Anyhow?

Felix goofing off at job no. 1, again. The thunder in these common dreams is fun to play with, especially from inside the storm. He’s a competent Silverer, though, if you can get him to actually do his damn job…
