wheelie-butch:

when you download a pdf and it’s called like 1328723486basdf12.pdf but then you gently rename it to what it’s supposed to be. that’s forming a bond with a hurt and wild mythological creature and reminding it who it is.

The wizard has curly black hair that it tucked into the hat and is wearing a long dress-like garment made from thick individual coils covered in round beads that give the appearance of tentacles. The wizard is holding a beaded star shaped wand in one hand, and has long pearl earrings, pearl necklaces, and pearl hand cuff. Text reads: Nostceras, The EnchanterALT

The wizard is wearing long flowing robes that curl and coil around the neckline and flare out like waves at the base. The wizard has one hand extended toward the viewer, controlling water.

Heteromorph Ammonite shells always look like wizard hats to me, and so here are a few varieties depicted as anthropomorphic wizards. Once I have a reliable printing set up I hope to compile these, along with seven other wizard designs, into a zine.

Just found out my facebook birding group is public because my cousin (a lawyer who is not into birds) casually said to me “saw you couldn’t identify a willet the other day… pretty embarrassing”

no offense to anyone personally but I think we are way too used to and comfortable with weekly releases and if that wasn’t already bad enough, it seems like most of you aren’t even patient enough to wait for the official release date my point is this industry moves way too quickly

The way that people treat with the medium of manga is interesting and sad because a lot of mangaka are disabled and becoming disabled because of the intense workload. The grace extended to legendary author-artists like Togashi should be how all these artists are treated, and more. Your favorite artists are destroying themselves to create the pages you consume and make judgments on and they deserve to take the time their bodies need to recover from these efforts. The weekly release schedule is literally hurting artists.

What’s worse is how they’re expected to do extra work unpaid like exclusive bonus illustrations for retailers and are expected to pay for assistants themselves. Licensing deals with adaptions are fucked up Gureishi is not the only one who has said an anime adaption did nothing for them financially Hideaki Sorachi of Gintama fame has also been open about how little money he has made from the hugely successful Gintama live action projects. Its so fucked up out there for them with no safeguards when their health fails them aside from living off of royalties, and this is an “improvement” from when publishers were fully okay roping manga artists into doing more than one serial at a time or lock them up in hotels with no sleep until they completed their manuscripts
