Silent Sunday 💜
This peaceful card is about rest, contemplation, and solitude. Therefore I chose a relaxed and meditating secluded bat. Thinking about the next steps, taking a break from the overwhelming outside world.
In the background, we can see a church window representing the external surroundings. The eye-shaped glass decoration of the sacred window emphasizes the bat's deep focus on meditation, healing, and self-reflection.
A single Katana sword hanging from the ceiling with the help of steel strappings is more prominent. It emphasizes the focus on the bat which placed its webbed feet on it. Collecting strength to meet the outside world again.
New battles are waiting ahead represented by the remaining three swords visible at the bottom and pointing toward the bat's direction.

A raptor-like character named Enoch that belongs to ThatTrafficCone.
A raptor with a bird-like beak and corvid-esque markings dashes across a snowy landscape. Enoch carries an ethereal ribbon in his beak. As it trails behind him the warm sunset tones of the background become a soft purple night scene. #Stasanie #ArtFight

Think I just found my favorite Eastern Screech-owl photo ever. By Christina Evans, in the Macaulay Library: macaulaylibrary.org/asset/621156... 🪶
Photo of a young screech owl perched on a log, low center of the image. Its eyes are wide open with tiny pupils, mouth agape, as it focuses on a Blue Jay perched just above and slightly out of focus.

It's Strange Bedfellows' BOOK BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! You can now officially purchase it in stores! I'm gonna be adding to this thread over the next hour or so to talk about it a bit and thank everyone who contributed~ If you're in NA and want to grab a copy, you can do so here: www.arielries.com/links/
The cover for the graphic novel Strange BedfellowsIn the not-too-distant future, most of humanity resides on its last-ditch effort at Meridian, a remote alien planet where you’re more likely to be born superhuman than left-handed. 

None of that is important to Oberon Afolayan. Since his mildly public breakdown, his whole life seems to be spiraling out of control—from dropping out of university to breaking up with his boyfriend, it seems like only a karmic inevitability when he wakes up one day with the ability to conjure his dreams in the real world. 

Oberon’s newfound powers come with a facsimile of his high school crush, Kon, who mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet almost three years ago and who is a little more infuriating (if not also infuriatingly hot) than Oberon remembers. 

Kon makes it his mission to turn Oberon’s life around, and while they struggle to get a handle on his powers and his disastrous personal life (not to mention the appearance of strange nightmare creatures), it turns out this dream version of Kon has secrets of his own—dangerous ones. 

Oberon might have more on his plate than he originally thought, but is giving up his dreams—even the one he might have accidentally fallen in love with—the only way to find happiness in reality?
