Merrick, After Dark 🖤💜 @merrickafterdark.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
So my big week-long trip to Europe is less than two weeks away! I thought of some fun ways you could help make sure I have a decent budget in hand to enjoy my travel... while also getting to share in the fun! 😉✈️ 🏨
A photo of Merrick Monroe posed on her bed, wearing a black micro bikini. To one side is a column of text that starts with "Vamos, Espana!" ("Let's Go, Spain!") followed by various activities and travel costs paired with tip amounts to support that aspect of her upcoming international travel.

Wait. Hol' up. Not only do people remember Biker Mice from Mars, but they have a comic in the year 2026?! AND THEY'RE INTRODUCING NEW CHARACTERS?! I need to go lay down.

I've been watching Game of Thrones for the first time (I've only seen the first few episodes and the last season) and my only real problem with it, structurally, is it's difficult to have any sense of time passing. Months can seemingly pass between characters' appearances on screen.

I was going to try to squeeze in an October drawing challenge again this year, but then I remembered that my happy place is rendering fabric for hours on end, so that's not likely to happen this year.

Good ear? Best ear. Actually, I'm all manner of pleased with how this little painting turned out. Bob Peck (Robert Muldoon) in Jurassic Park. Oil on paper. 30cm x 15cm.
An oil painting of a man staring at the viewer. There's a giant leaf in the background and he appears to be looking over the edge of a shotgun.

I had a professor in wchool that absolutely resonated with me. He left me with MANY pearls of wisdom, but chief among them was probably: you could do literally whatever you wanted just so long as you followed directions. It still amazes me how few people can follow the simplest of directions.
