The dragon stopped short in his boasting. “Your information is antiquated,” he snapped. “I am armoured above and below with iron scales and hard gems. No blade can pierce me.”

this might sound controversial to some, but i think being an artist, writer, etc. should be a sustainable career
I've stumbled across this and remembered just how proud I am of all the little details. I love working in this style and I love medieval literature #sirgawainandthegreenknight
I have a sinking feeling that shit is about to hit the fan. Food pantry registrations are up, free device project enquiries up, community lunch busier than ever. A lot of people doing ‘ok’ are pushed over the line by rapid petrol and food increases.
I'm trying to do a mini painting a day - the last few have been ents/wives and they are so fun! A rowan-theme here, Quickbeam perhaps

Day 4: My wife gave me a lovely print of the flora of Middle-earth from @thistlemoon.bsky.social, along with a knockoff Lego Gollum and a tiny Funko pop Gollum. I gave her an Appa funko.bsky.social to keep the Momo from yesterday company.

I like to think that this map of all the regional names for woodlice in the UK could also be a map illustrating the new tribes of humans to be found on the same landmass after The Great Digital Crash and ensuing breakdown of society.

Tolktober Day 13 - SHADOW Eöl dwells alone in the shadows of Nan Elmoth, until he ensnares "not wholly unwilling" (🥴) Aredhel and perpetuates some toxic generational behaviours upon their son. However, his sword is one of two he made from a meteorite and he has night vision, pretty cool #tolktober
