Befriending people is a skill and you can learn how in these simple steps
1. Learn to smile genuinely
2. Let them speak and feel heard
3. Don’t abruptly change topics, segue gracefully
4. Laugh at yourself when you get awkward or if you misspeak
5. Apologize if they have a weird reaction to anything

an illustration of book being pierced through by a sword, from the wound the thorns with red tips are growing, slowly changing into flowers, a red bookmark is there to symbolize blood.

the book reads 'It's alright to say No. You will always be a villain in someone's story...'

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

lrp very important addendum, "learn to laugh at yourself" does not mean "relentlessly self-deprecate". a person that can accept their own foibles with grace is charming. a person that is always putting themselves down is exhausting

#art testing the waters and seeing if I can draw characters pages…

A series of illustrations of Marcus Cutter from wolf 359.

On the left side of the page, there’s a bust shot of cutter engulfed in a spotlight reminiscent of a gun crosshair. He’s holding a bullet and giving a shining, dead smile as more bullets fall around him.

In the middle of the page, Cutter lays upside down while sensually answering a phone call. He’s wrapped in wires and a halo of security cameras surround his legs, as if reaching down towards him. He’s posed against a starry background of deep space which notably contains a blue and red star and also a space ship.

On the right side of the page, Cutter holds a smoking cigarette in one hand and a cup of chai in the other, while various hands offer him telephones. His expression is mostly in shadow, but there’s still a dead smile visible on his face.

In the corner of the page, there’s a small chibi of cutter sitting in a cup of chai.

Anyway, all this is to say that Lis sees Fordola as a living Records Tome of her memories, and Fordola is spared in part because Lis is too vain to kill a piece of herself (even her memories within Fordola).

Fordola tries to explain the experience to Jullus one day, when she thinks they're alone:

"Imagine a world as if lit in backdrop by incandescent, holy fire — colors more vivid than any you could ever think — bitter edges sweetened as strawberries are — such power crowning her every step, such pain she holds as close in her memory as the brightest loves — yet to her, it is a sacrament in its own right — I lack, still, the words to explain how all to her is sacrament, how all of her existence is aglow with a formless flame we are lucky to be merely warmed by and not burned alive within."

#Recollect

you know what. fuck it. AMA session about the Lockes because I know there's a lot about them that might still be unknown to y'all and I want to show y'all more!!! they're some of my favorite OCs of all!!!

Black text — "ask me anything about this character ??? morals — relationships — preferences — their past — etc"

Crow Locke (/Locke Cameron Carrigan)
- Cynic who is going to live and get revenge if it is the last thing it does
- it/they/she/caw + crows pronouns, demisexual + demiromantic beastwomanthing
- vampire crow demon returned from the dead by its platonic life partner to live the life it always wanted and make the Kingsley Family pay
- autistic + BPD legend
- leads a monster mercenary team/monster hunting party called the Cavalcade of the Black Feather
- can turn into an actual crow

Next to this description is a sinister looking figure with short hair and bags under its eyes. Fangs are shown in its smile, which is decorated with a V shape. It’s in a dark jacket with a patterned shirt underneath, leaning to the left.

Locke Savannah Kingsley
- attempted optimist
- she/they pronouns, nb butch
- still mentally stuck in the past, kinda
- the autism is strong in this one
- just wants to make their father proud
- leads a monster hunting team called the Faterunners
- only Locke to ever be in a romantic relationship (toxic lesbian situationship that ended bad)

Next to this description is an image of a NB person with a round face, a cowl and aviator goggles in a pin-laden combat jacket. They radiate kindness.

#Liscanon

It is the nature of Lis Amaranth and many other shards of Morevna of the Dead Leaves to love or hate that which mirrors themselves —in that sense, so many of them mirror Morevna's intense vanity and ego.

Thank you so, so much for asking!!! It is so deeply near and dear to my heart tbh!!! Playing Crow Locke on camera helped me figure out vital stuff about my gender and gain a lot of catharsis/heal from some really deep-rooted trauma, so I'm always going to adore its whole deal.

Plus, there's a lot regarding its identity horror struggles with being unable to forget /anything/, how it unlearns the brainwashing its abuser tried to put upon it to figure out what it wants for itself, its codependent platonic dynamic with the person who saved its life, etc. that I just adore.

After all, as a human, it didn't even know if it was going to live past 18 — so getting that second chance at life, and honoring it as much as possible by making those who would ruin that second chance pay, is a huge part of Crow Locke's whole deal.

It wants so badly to know the world it was locked away from, and there is still so, so much long life ahead of it considering it's been returned from the dead, and a part of its nature is very Azem-esque in its desire to be a traveler.

It wants that as reclamation.

I think the thing that gets me the most emotional about Crow Locke in a good way is just... like, underneath all the edginess of its design and all of the sheer vindictive rage it wears on its sleeve in the series proper, it wants so badly to live and know the world in ways it was denied as a human.
