Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work.

Rest in peace 🖤

there's nothing more romantic than an ache in your chest so insidious that it stops your breath and tingles down your arms, you try not to break from the crushing weight but you just want to howl from the pain of your unrequited longing

personally i'd love if we brought back serials that only appear in local papers and the only way to hear about them was by the whisperings of tavern folk as they breathlessly recounted the latest issue

verrot, a dark skinned native elf, kneels in the center of a composition. he holds his violin. a series of images surround him ; one wher he is a teenager playing the piano. another where he lurks in a grave yard. a slice of birthday cake moulders in the frame.

a knight who is so devoted that he'll carry the weight of all his lord's pain just to see his goals come to fruition, a pack mule to burden with the lord's ambition if he willed it, and even if he did not

VGEN service: Stained Glass Illustrations!

Starting at $200USD, this is a very experimental commission type with a lot of feedback! Definitely interested in making pretty things for people's D&D characters! :D ✨🏬
A screenshot from vgen showing a commission option for a stained glass illustration. To the left are two examples of such a commission, the first is a blue stained glass image with an angel holding a mans face while the second is a red and black image of two men posing with their respective combat styles.
