the vengeful pillow by Edward Gorey

Been having the brain itch to try and draw a D&D/pf dragon character for a while... It turned out better than I expected admittedly xD Very very heavily referenced by the amazing @maxdunbar.bsky.social's works, please check them out, their art is fantastic!

European armour fact: Field armour was designed to minimize interference with the wearer’s movement. Its articulation often exceeds the human body's own range of motion.

This is what they took from us.

The light is *so good* after the winter dark.

"The Gridylow Coven" - AD: @rosdottir.bsky.social Thank you for the trust and free reign with everything Fen <3 - Had the absolute pleasure to paint these three darlings for Aquarium: A Watery 5e D&D Rulebook (link to the kickstarter below)

During the 1596 peasant uprising (the ‘Club War’), a Finnish peasant family shelter from advancing troops who have burnt down their snow-bound village. The father holds a crossbow, a forlorn token of resistance (Albert Edelfelt, The Burnt Village, 1879)

Kevätpäiväntasaus! Olipa ihana herätä aurinkoiseen aamuun ja miettiä, että tästä eteenpäin päivät pitenevät vauhdilla täällä pohjoisella pallonpuoliskollamme. Taas on yksi pimeä kausi selvitty, omalla kohdalla ihan kohtuudella. Toivottavasti sinäkin voit nauttia tästä keväästä ja lämmöstä☀️

A very cool Silly Goober I did for Sialuk 😈 @tieflingpaladin.bsky.social of Ellia Dawncrest 💕💕💕 #tiefling #artsky #ocsky #dndart #dnd #ttrpg #characterart

Also, can we talk about Dan Mora's variant cover for JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERGALACTIC? How cool is this?!?!!!

I've posted this before for #BookologyThursday but I'll post it again: the Dragon in a 1958 edition of 'Beowulf' illustrated by Joseph Mugnaini. #dragon #folklore #folktale #medieval

"French is now the 4th most spoken language in the world (with 396M in 2026), up from 5th place in 2022.… This is mainly due to African demographic growth, the expansion of education, and urbanization. By 2050, their may be est. 590M potential speakers, with 9 of 10 French learners being African."

The voice of all D&D hirelings.

I have an Ohm joke, but I'm resisting the temptation to share it.

While working on a more substantive project, I got to thinking about a maladaption I've noticed in many referees. Then a few hours later, a friend of mine did the exact thing I was thinking of right in front of me. So I wrote about it. www.paperspencils.com/referee-sabo...

Perfect

An oil shock just forces a simple choice: Subsidise fuel or Subsidise getting off fuel Most governments pick the first That’s a mistake! A quick 🧵

You guys. This just happened 😳This falcon/eagle works scaring away and hunting pigeons to keep Harrods clean.

All EU citizens, please go and sign this petition to stop European imports from Russia.

one of the things that’s been made real fucking clear over the past year is that basically no one who parroted the nazi bar bullshit actually believed it, and i have worked in a bar that had to purge nazis

A good post overall, and the fay-cursed people with animal heads are a brilliant idea, with strong fairy tale and folklore vibes.

This will make your day better. :)

I like him.

In hindsight the "Pluto is a planet" backlash was important because it showed a lot of people get mad when they learn that science adjusts to new information, and they go ballistic if that was stuff they learned as kids at a level for kids. That is a core part of transphobia and anti-vax thought.

"Huolestuttavampana ilmiönä Pietikäinen pitää EPP:n luisumista lähemmäs laitaoikeistoa." ”Keskustaoikeistolaiset puolueet ovat ryhtyneet peesaamaan (laitaoikeistoa), ja on alettu jonkinlaisiksi kevyt-Orbáneiksi.”

Carl Giles was a fascinating man. A few months after this he was with the Coldstream Guards when they liberated Bergen-Belsen. The German camp commander got excited and kept banging on about how much of a fan of Giles war cartoons he was. Kept asking for a signed drawing. /1

Anyway, here's some old Black Cat fanart from years ago 💎🐈‍⬛ #art #marvel

More space warriors ...

Ha, I don't think I've ever seen something quite like this. Interesting.

Elric of Melnibone

Anna Alma-Tadema, teenaged daughter of the more famous Lawrence, shows her prodigious talent in these paintings of the Drawing Room at 1A Holland Park ~ with Rossetti’s chalk study for ‘Mariana’ on the wall ~ and her father’s library at Townsend House (1880s)

Trump doesn't think, period.

For no reason at all, here's a lil Dune painting I did a few years ago

Whenever I've posted about this fact online people try to catch me out as a liar in the dumbest possible way. They go "erm I THINK that cat would be dead by now..." YEAH M8 THE FILM IS 40 YEARS OLD OF COURSE HE'S FUCKING DEAD. But, and this will shock you, at one point in the past: he was alive.

I love this so much!!

This is a WIN for science. RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations has been BLOCKED by a federal court. The ACIP committee cannot meet as planned this week, since its membership has been invalidated, and ALL votes made by those advisers in the last year have also been invalidated.

Most people here probably don't know, or care, but Tumblr has just fucked itself up worse than ever before. They changed how the reblog chains work, and it's going to ruin Tumblr unless they revert this change and soon.

Robert Goddard launched his liquid-fuel rocket 16 March 1926. In Auburn, MA in 2014, @gerisullivan.bsky.social showed me Goddard Park, near the launch site. The site, formerly Effie Ward's farm, was a private golf course, so this park was created nearby, with a replica Goddard rocket & a Polaris.

Something something, low hanging fruit, something something...

Reluctant Friendship

Also they did rise up! Then the regime killed 20,000 people. There is nothing stopping the regime killing people again.

For some reason, I drew Kurt Cobain as a Doberman. Kurt Dobain.

Borscht season in the abbey is great for the stomach but terrible for anything susceptible to staining

In a similar vein, if we're playing Call of Cthulhu the RPG, you can't go to Providence, RI, or Brooklyn, and meet HP Lovecraft. He doesn't exist. You *can* go to Boston, or Arkham, and meet Randolph Carter, though -- until he disappears, at least.
