I make fun of Solomon's Crown a lot for the bowdlerization but also it is interesting there seem to be very few MEDIEVAL historical m/m romance books out there that aren't fantasy. It's a challenging and uncomfortable era I suppose despite being the origins of western fantasy in the first place

Lrt it CAN still be slop in the older definition of the terms (as in being a part of many, part of popular production) but It doesn't make it less fun I feel 🤔

My southeast asian inspired ocs 🥭

nothing you've ever been told (or made up on your own) about iran, iraq, palestine, syria, lebanon, afghanistan, the entire MENA/muslim world could ever excuse what america's done. and israel and all their grotesque, complicit allies. they were founded to do exactly this and can't fall soon enough.

It always annoyed me when people would characterize the prose of Lord of the Rings as something you have to get past in order to enjoy the story. The prose is the point!

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

installed this and now the fan on my laptop has turned off for the first time in forever lmao

One of the things that makes the partisan gender gap convo so frustrating is centrists giving preference to men by talking about how we need to listen to their “very real concerns” when the concerns (driven by a bad media diet) are women have rights, can vote however they want, & can say no to sex

If you see a discourse you already did, congrats, you don’t have to participate. You did your time. You’re done! Yay!

Remembered and found in my drafts a sort of Marie de france-esque telling of the story I'm doing for my doujin that is. Well. A LOT more romantic than what I'm actually doing (playing more into the straightforward tropes) Maybe I'll write it as a companion piece

there are also women who enjoy yaoi for different, more complex personal reasons. "it's sexy" is an oversimplification. but i don't really see that as a mystery that needs to be solved either. women like art about men all the time. that's like, most of the mainstream art there is

the Really Bad Man theory of history

The trouble with making comics I feel is even when you've planned everything out, the process of transferring to the final paper/canvas and sometimes even bits of space recontextualizes meaning. Whew.....

Tim Walz isn't declaring an eviction moratorium in Minnesota, so many families affected by ICE are at risk of eviction in a few days. Please donate to the rent funds at keepMNhoused.com if you have some scratch.

Every 5-10 years there's a new news article rediscovering like WOMEN??? like to read GAY (Male) STUFF??? what could this MEAN??? I remember seeing them in the 2000s as a kid 😭

I’m looking forward to this at the end of the month. There are still a couple of places if anyone has students who would benefit. #MedievalSky @ihr.bsky.social palaeography.uk/study/short-...

I'll be talking about the messy and difficult (but fun!) processes for making medieval manuscripts on Wednesday. There will also be guest appearances from cats in my presentation 😺 #bookhistory #medievalsky @ihr.bsky.social @ies-sas.bsky.social

Friends who host their own scroll-format webcomic on their own site, and more specifically ON A SITE WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO DO ANY WEB STUFF EXCEPT KNOW HOW YOU WANT IT TO LOOK (i.e. squarespace or something): could you drop a link (if you're willing to answer questions)?

Love letters are wasted on him

My enemies are the mercenaries of the god of love, who laugh at my demise. They are crueler than ravaging Brabançons, cleverer than the armies of Flanders. So Beloved, do not let cruelty overcome you and turn yourself from me, for I know that you desire me too. #medieval #illustration

Got this #RichPhil ask about whether or not they are “genuinely in love” in my works, and i spent a long time writing up some of my own serious analysis (of how I try to portray them in my art and comics…) give a read if u like my work heheh #asks angevinyaoiz.tumblr.com/post/8010361...

Re "telling not showing" in terms of being a way to convey interiority etc in writing, it was neat reading giovanni's room because it was such an internal book. All thoughts and memories and moving back and forth through time and regrets and hypotheses

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

It is a simple lesson yet many people seem determined not to learn it. Solidarity is not altruistic it is the only effective&realistic self protection.Powers that demand you throw some group under the bus will come for you as soon as they can-all the sooner if you’ve handed them power &legitimacy.

Hyperfocus from the Oracle of the Divine Illmarinen, Kalevala, Finish Mythology I'm basically calling this the ADHD card. You get so caught up in making the thing, you don't think about the consequences Preorder The Oracle of the Divine now!

Here's a cute little dragon I painted on calfskin (copied from a 13th century bestiary) using traditional medieval techniques and pigments (labelled in second image) #medievalmanuscripts #medievalscriptorium #bookhistory

an interesting study that complements what historians have been saying for quite a while. people moved in the European Middle Ages, settled elsewhere. and genetics can tell where a person's ancestors came from but now which communities they belonged to #medievalsky www.science.org/content/arti...
