hey if you guys are looking for something to read LET ME RECOMMEND YOU the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab
like this series is freaking amazing.
it has:
amazing writing that is beautiful without being overwrought
a really hecking good plot with magic and adventure and great worldbuilding
NO LOVE TRIANGLES
all the romances feel organic
amazing antiheroes
there’s rotating main characters and they include a badass fucking lady who is disabled (one eye) and a bisexual prince
AND!! the prince’s bisexuality isn’t a Secret or a Big Plot Point it’s just ‘here he is making out with ladies. now dudes’ but it’s also prominent enough that his romances are featured in the books and not mentioned as an afterthought (looking at you, J.K. Rowling)
the series actaully (imo) gets better as it progresses instead of derailing
THE WRITING IS SO GOOD OKAY
Very good sai ref
i get a ton of asks about my SAI brushes again, and these are kinda outdated (and incorrectly translated in some places, i believe?) so there you go
tip: pixel eraser is just a pixel brush with opacity on 0
a series : sanctus [pt 3]

I JUST FINISHED THE WATCHMAKER OF FILIGREE STREET AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO READ NEXT. CAN YOU RECOMMEND ME SOMETHING OF THE SAME CALIBER?
THE BEDLAM STACKS, ALSO BY NATASHA PULLEY, HAHA
I’m deadly serious – I loved The Bedlam Stacks even MORE than Watchmaker, if that’s possible. the same ‘here’s a weird, random period of history’ setting, the same ‘here are some really niche things you know nothing slash don’t care about’ plot, the same ‘here’s the quietest, sneakiest love story you’ve ever not noticed creeping up on you’ romance. but with more ADVENTURING. and PERIL. and a CAMEO from a certain CLAIRVOYANT, eh eh eh
buuuuut it doesn’t come out until July, so to tide you over here are some lists for books in the same-ish vein: queer historical novels, queer fantasy (almost exclusively YA), and some non-YA, adult, classic novels.
Details, version II : Dancing Fairies, 1866, by August Malmström. Can you hear them whisper?

Since Sunday tours of James Talbot’s home, Casa Neverlandia in Austin, Texas, are currently not available b/c of the Pandemic, we can take a virtual tour.
James is an artist who built this home, himself. I’ve heard. It’s still a work in progress. This is the living room looking toward the front of the home.
Simply, the Red Room.
James taking tourists through. The house is also on the Weird Homes Tour in Texas, but you can’t just show up, b/c it’s his private residence.
Kitchen & breakfast nook. He uses a gray water system and people are surprised when they hear that it has no air conditioning.
