△ Which of your enemies do you most identify with?

doegred:

Send me a △ and ask a really invasive question aimed at my character.
They’ll have to: Rate on a scale of 1-10 how much they don’t want to answer that question. Answer that question

This is not a joke I find as funny as you may think it to be. In fact the question is completely preposterous, deliberately incendiary and, ultimately, witless. Thus I flatly refuse to fall for this provocation and give it any answer. (10)

….And still I cannot understand how anyone might think I identify with Thauron..
Or even worse Moringotto, naturally

I will not deny Thauron is an extremely good planner, a mind that often I can understand in its adherence to logic; even though he has shown to be prone to be dragged by his affect..no, loyalties..NO, he has none.
By his associations, more likely, in actions that he, on his own, would take differently, plan more thoroughly.
I must also admit his methodical approach to war is indeed.. intelligent, and his interest for the development of new devices, structures and techniques would almost be admirable weren’t for the directions his efforts take. 
Moreover sometimes I ask myself wether he too feels to be fighting a battle against forces so much stronger than him, and how that might somehow justify his more.. extreem actions.
Wether he might still be fighting to try and give shape to a dream someone denied him, claiming it was for his own good, and tasting ashes and bile in his mouth as he finds himself every time contemplating its very basis rot because of a curse..

No. 
This is pure nonsense.

OKAY SO i don’t know how many of you are following my main blog, but if you do, you know that this last month has been an exercise in me making long-term plans for my life and the universe looking down and being like “you know what, fuck this guy in particular”…By which I mean we had a small, Numenor type situation involving our neighbor’s water main bursting, and then brief homelessness. 
BUT. I’ve got a roof over me and a mattress under me again, and my tablet has been unpacked– I did NOT keep my job when I moved, and I’m actually okay with that. The boy and I are both going to try and make it on our art/savings for a while, and that’s pretty scary but also very exciting (more so for him than me; i’ve kind of gotten used to joblessness recently). SO. Expect to hear more about the Patreon plan, comics, etc., in the near future. I’ve got a sort of crash course planned out for myself where I’ll try to cram as many art fundamentals into the next month or so as I can, write more script, get some backlog done, and generally prepare to do art type things full time. 

Uh. Wish me luck?  I’ll keep in touch. 

hms-surprise:

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking,

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
-John Masefield

(My only excuse for this picture is that I really, really, really wanted to paint something now that my tablet is back from the war.)
