It's my birthday! 🤗 As per tradition, I'm humbly asking for some reposts of this or any other of my art today ❤️
Stylised bust paintings of characters from Severance. Irving is on the left looking thoughtfully to the viewer's left and wears his work attire: pale blue shirt, navy tie and vest. 

At the top Mark S is looking towards the viewer with a confused frown, mouth slightly open. He's wearing a navy blue suit and tie with a white shirt. 

On the right is Helly R, mouth slightly open, eyes wide and posture stunned as she looks to the viewer's left. She has a blue green dress on.

Dylan is at the bottom, brow scrunched and mouth open in confusion. He's wearing a dress shirt and jacket.Painterly portrait of a young androgynous Kender looking tired and lost in thought. They have a scrappy brown pixie cut, fair skin and bright, icy blue eyes ringed with dark circles. A scar marks their right cheek, and part of the ear on that side is missing. Their clothing is simple and practical: dark leathers and a forest-green cloak. They wear a gold button as a pendant.One half body painting of Luke in his Bespin outfit holding a blaster and looking vigilant. One sketchy black and white drawing of him in side profile looking left Stylised painting of Peter Falk as Columbo. He's in his mac and holding his trademark cigar. He looks go the viewer with a twinkle in his eye and knowing smile

Fun fact! If altos rehearse a line where they sing the same note 16 times in a row, the musical director *must* say “that was a very alto line.” If not, the muses curse them to seven years of having one singer come in prematurely at every performance.

Murderbot's pronoun is "it." But pronoun usage for it varies widely on the internet. This will be a thread about the funky things pronouns do for us and why they are so difficult to change on a linguistic and cognitive/neurological level. #Murderbot #pronouns

After much research, I have come to the conclusion that the greatest detriment for writers in today's soceity is the lack of gold stars we used to get when we turned ANYTHING in. And I'm not talking about the crappy stars you would get off the sheets of crap stars that wouldn't stick on anything.

Quote of the month:“I am not saying this was our inevitable end…I am saying we have found the best and truest and kindest thing we can do in this moment. Tell me no, and we'll go on as we have been... and we'll go on unafraid ... but say yes, and we will make this end, and this beginning, together."
