#xivwomenweek day 5 - Amid flora and crystals 🌷💠
an illustration of ryne and gaia. In the foreground, the two of them are sitting in the middle of a field of pink flowers, with the crystal tower visible behind a hill covered in flowers, while a close-up of their portraits, eyes closed, fills the background. Ryne's expression and position echo my earlier minfilia entry as well !!

Hey it's H'chul! I've been workin' on him for the past ~6 months or so, and he's finally done!! He's got a lot of little bits that dangle and shine in the light. :D dyed wool, pipe cleaners, flat felt, fabric scraps, various beads + gems, iridescent paint #art #fiberart #needlefelt #felting #craft
several photos of a needle felted sculpture: a long dog-dragon-lookin' character with 4 ears, body twisted in a circle, and highly decorated. His coloration is turquoise/white/orange with lime green accents. He has a feathered mane around his face/going down his back in those same colors, plus 11 long, purple feathers that stick out and frame his face. he's holding a classic-style hunting horn in his left hand. two long strands of colorful beads dangle from behind his headseveral more shots of the same sculpture: 
- a closeup shot of an arm, showing feather detail and beads at the base of several of them.
- two shots of his body loop, decorated with a braided fabric wrap. several beads resembling beetle elytra dangle from this loop in shades of green to purple
- around his waist and his back hips, more braided fabric wraps that end in showy bows, decorated with more elytra and small rose-like beads
- the end of his tail splits into a Y-shape, one side hosting jewelry with 3 dangling flowersmore shots:
- backside look, his face is visibly uneven from this angle. we love a wonky guy <3
- bead detail on the horn and a "sash" dropping from his left shoulder and held up by his right arm
- close up on one of the fabric wraps + elytra beads

draw more fat girls. not just for fetish stuff or pinups. just draw them existing. draw them happy, or sad, or angry, or just hanging out and having a nice time. draw them with different proportions. be earnest in your love for them. the fat girls in your life will see it and appreciate it

it's not a self-help book, but it is pretty opinionated. The Politics of Lonely: Why is Friendship So Hard? is officially out today! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
Three pieces of advice from The Politics of Lonely
(swipe to see one more that got cut from the finished book) 
- “Each of us needs a lot of people, and we need them very badly.” 
- “It is worth considering whether you might let your friendships inconvenience you a fraction as much as your job does.” 
- “Kill the Margaret Thatcher in your head”

out today, 2026-09-10stated reason for not writing a self-help book:  “I believe that the message that you can fix all your problems on an individual level implies that they’re your fault to begin with.” 

actual reason for not writing a self-help book: i do not give good advice :)

screenshot from the book manuscript, where i have written "have sex with one of your friends! just kidding.... unless?", with a comment asking "too unhinged?" and my very patient editor replying "probably, haha!"

Halfbody simple render of an aasimar woman with dark skin and dark locs sprinkled with bits of starlight and constellations within her hair. She has a unicorn horn on her forehead covered in magical swirls, and her clothing is white with an iridescent sheen on its edges. She has a long white and pink tail with wings that frame her body. Her expression is relaxed looking to the side sweetly, and her hands are clasped in prayer.

Tfw you have a minor god/angel ship and you find a song about love through creation and you're like yes! Let's put that on their playlist. Then the band name drops jesus christ in it and you drag your hand down your face and debate if it's minor enough to not make your Catholic trauma flare up

Captain Hook from Peter Pan and the Pirates with a pencil saying: "Very well. If my work must be scraped, I will encounter obscurity as a bride and hug it in my arms. For I, at least, have built a legitimate art career, prompt jockey! I have made comics in DeviantArt as a boy. I have made Flash cartoons in Newgrounds as a man. I have drawn OCs, various commissions and NSFW of Rouge the Bat with the fattest tits you can imagine! I have been inspired by the finest art communities ever to grace Tumblr, Twitter or Bluesky. In short, I will continue to draw and improve my craft throughout my personal journey. Whereas YOU are a pathetic creature, forever locked in the self-serving egocentricities of generative AI, slowly sacrificing your human cognition in exchange for hiding your pitiful mediocrity and lack of talent. You will NEVER be an artist, and you will NEVER be remembered! So… steal my work now, and be done with it!"

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.
BI REMINDER
💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men
🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay"
💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary
bisexuals exist
💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action
🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them
