I do like pigment based inks... too many of them look like they'd be tasty though

Yet you get people in the replies on the likes of CDromance saying that these AI slop translations are good and okay, actually.

@aviators.bsky.social - Armoured in Gold Dr Ph Martin's Iridiscent Copper Plate Gold on black Rhodia Maya callgraphy paper First time working on black paper! Too dark to see the guidelines with my lightbox, so I had to rule up with a pencil instead #calligraphy #eldenring
The lyrics to 'Armoured in Gold' by Aviators, hand-lettered in a flourished italic style in golden ink on black paper.

'New dreams of gold
Mixed with chaos of old
Should at last be as one in my hands
Alliance abounds
But how heavy the crown
That unites the devout of these lands

When used up and battered
A broken world shatters its own
All in a row
Without the rules, it's a slaughter
Our own sons and daughters atone
For what we've sown
Faced with a fracture of order
We build up our quarters tenfold
Royal and bold
Still in the lack of perfection
We suffer the tension and hold
The new and the old
Armoured in gold'

Once again thinking about Skyrim if it were as well-written as it deserves to be. Specifically thinking about the whole of the Dawnguard questline could've been so much better than the extremely juvenile parade of card-carrying villains it actually was.

The word 'landlord' is unnecessarily gendered terminology, and we should instead all be using the gender-neutral word 'parasite'

A panel from a comic in which we see a four panel comic drawn on a sheet of paper, seen from a first person POV.

P1: title panel. "Freddy Fart Face"

We see the crudely drawn title character (think Willy Wonka) from the chest up, as he shouts "FART" with a big smile on his face

P2: a sad looking character enters left of frame, as Freddy stands on the right, listening to the former's plight:

"Freddy Fart Face I am sad please help"

P3: closeup on Freddy's face, as he considers the dilemma with great concentration

P4: back to the POV from panel 2, as Freddy shouts "FART!" The formerly sad sack I the left smiles and says "haha oh freddy fart face"

Why Niger explicitly criminalising asexuality is significant to everyone, regardless of identity
To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about 'traditional families'

Nightwish - The Crow, the Owl and the Dove Walnut ink on parchment paper Playing around with gum sandarac to treat paper - this stuff has feathered terribly the last couple of times I've used it, but the gum sandarac treatment made it behave itself much better! #calligraphy #nightwish
The text of 'The Crow, the Owl and the Dove', by Nightwish, hand-lettered in a gothic/blacketter style in walnut ink. A wax seal of a raven perched on a branch is affixed.

'A crow flew to me, kept its distance
Such a proud creation
I saw its soul, envied its pride
But needed nothing it had

An owl came to me, old and wise
Pierced right through my youth
I learned its ways, envied its sense
But needed nothing it had

Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I've had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

A dove came to me, had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had'

Sisters of Mercy - Temple of Love Dr Ph Martin's Bombay Sepia ink, Rhodia touch calligraphy paper, Leonardt round hand nibs This has been in my head since I went to see them live a few days ago. I was hoping this would get the song out of my head. It has not. #calligraphy #sistersofmercy #goth
The lyrics of Temple of Love, by Sisters of Mercy, hand-lettered in an italic-esque flourished style in a sepia ink. A black wax seal of a howling wolf is attached.

'With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold, and long
And the temple of love will fall before this
Black wind calls my name to you no more

In the black sky, thunder sweeping under
Ground and over water, sounds of
Crying, weeping will not save your
Faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave when
Stone is dust and only air remains

In the temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love. cry like rain
In the temple of love, hear the calling
And the temple of love is falling down'

Julian Gough - End Poem Dr Ph Martin Bombay Aqua and Tom's Studio Emerald on Rhodia Touch paper Practicing my italic-esque style! I love the flourishes this style opens up #calligraphy #minecraft #poetry
The last part of the End Poem from Minecraft, hand-lettered in a flourished italic style in green and blue ink

'and the universe said I love you

and the universe said you have played the game well

and the universe said everything you need is within you

and the universe said you are stronger than you know

and the universe said you are the daylight

and the universe said you are the night

and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you

and the universe said the light you seek is within you

and the universe said you are not alone

and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing

and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code

and the universe said I love you because you are love.

And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.

You are the player.

Wake up.'

Enya / @cakejumper.bsky.social - May It Be Celebrating another great cover by Cakejumper! Go check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=naW9... Black India ink, Leonardt round hand nibs and poster nibs, hot-pressed watercolour paper #cakejumpart #calligraphy #lordoftherings
The lyrics of 'May It Be', from the soundtrack of Fellowship of the Ring, originally performed by Enya and recently covered by Cakejumper, hand-lettered in black India ink in a LOTR-inspired style.

'May it be, an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be, when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now

May it be, the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be, you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now'
