Finally listening to @blairbraverman.bsky.social on this episode, & as someone who has water-skiied many a time & dogsledded twice, I support the analogy!

Not to be dramatic but everytime I watch the Legends of Vox Machina intro I can't believe it's real, I can't believe those nerds really did it, I can't believe I'm alive to see it all, dreams come true, we can't die we have to stay alive for season 5 #LOVM #CriticalRole #LegendOfVoxMachina

@blairbraverman.bsky.social & @yourewrongabout.bsky.social have an uncanny skill in dropping madly inspiring quotes about hope when I'm least expecting it & most need it.

Enjoying new podcast What to Carry, What to Burn. This first two-parter is about Ada Blackjack, an Iñupiaq woman who accompanied an Arctic exhibition, and her survival on Wrangel Island. It’s really well told by @blairbraverman.bsky.social & Sarah Marshall of @yourewrongabout.bsky.social 1/2

one of the three tarot cards i associate with shadowgast, The Star 🌟 #shadowgast #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt

digital fanart of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role, based on The Star tarot card. it is styled like a painting done on tan canvas, with strips of unpainted canvas at the top and bottom. 'XVII' and 'The Star' are written in slanted cursive above and below the painting, respectively.
Essek and Caleb are in their garden, on their knees and hugging each other tightly. in front of them, there is a low strawberry plant, many berries visible from under the green leaves. next to them, on the ground, there is a ceramic jug and a watering can, on their sides as if discarded hastily in a rush to embrace, with water flowing from them onto the dark soil. behind the characters, trees and a cozy cottage house are visible in the background, and around them seven glowing motes are floating in the air.
both Caleb and Essek are depicted barefoot and wearing summer clothes: a darker well-tailored ensemble of short trousers and a short-sleeved shirt for Essek and a more rustic and earth toned combination of shortened slacks and a white shirt with rolled up sleeves for Caleb. Essek has dark gardening gloves on, with a subtle rose print on them, while Caleb's hands are naked. the soles of their feet and their forearms are smudged with dirt.
Essek is resting his chin on Caleb's shoulder with his eyes closed, while Caleb is slumped into his partner. his face is not visible, but judging from the position of his hair, he is hiding his face in Essek's shoulder. a tiny sliver of negative space between them is catching the setting sun behind them, and the filtering sunlight is creating a large glowing four-pointed flare over the darkened figures.

Had to get a pap today. I had an irregular one so I'm on the annual schedule. In my nervous-joking mode, I said to the NP student "So it's like pap probation." Let me tell you, it killed, & as soon as my long time NP came in, she said "[Student] told me your joke, I love it, I'm using it that now."

Sorry if I've been swinging wildly between these two concepts lately. These times are really trying.

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #shadowgast

a painting of Critical Role characters Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast, based on the Rider-Waite Tarot's The Devil. it is styled like a square painting on a vertically oriented tan canvas, with narrow unpainted strips above and below it. a looping leaning script reads "XV" above and "The Devil" below.
Essek is a dark elf with gray-lavender skin and short white hair, dressed in elegant long dark robes and a silvery metal mantle piece, with the breastplate shaped like a beetle's back and long spikes curving off of his shoulders, radiating from his neck.
Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human, with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a gray tunic with a brown leather coat over it, a thick scarf wrapped around his shoulders. his spell book is just slightly visible at his side.
the characters are facing each other, with Essek standing on the left and Caleb on the right. their right hands are raised between them, hovering under and over a floating hourglass that Essek is offering to Caleb; the violet sand in it is equally distributed between the top and the bottom halves and is not flowing down. Essek has his chin raised with a cool expression of confidence, while Caleb is looking at the hourglass with a deeply conflicted face, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes shining. Caleb's left arm down at his side is engulfed in orange flames.
above them is the dodecahedron shape of a Beacon, pale gray and iridescent; the pentagonal plane facing the viewer is oriented with one of the corners pointing straight down. six silvery threads weave around it, intersecting at nine shining points, one thread each passing behind Essek's and Caleb's heads, and one each wrapping loosely around them. their figures, dark purple and brown, illuminated by the faint glow of the hourglass and the flame, are silhouetted against a much lighter gray and overcast light spilling from tall pointed arches behind them.

Diving into #TheDevilYouKnow & I am blown away by Sarah Marshall's (@yourewrongabout.bsky.social) kind & caring interviewing of Marylyn through such a difficult topic. What a bittersweet delight to listen to. 🩷
