Some of you might be aware of the fact that I’m working on my next artbook – I hope to complete it later this year, although I’m currently finding it difficult to focus on this book because of numerous other work projects and duties that are keeping me busy on a daily basis. But I hope I’ll get back on track at some point during the following months. 🤞
The book will include a thematic collection of my mixed media (digitally coloured) drawings from the past five years, such as the ones in this post, and also some never before seen work I’m creating exclusively for the book.
You may have to wait for the book, but meanwhile these seven illustrations are also available as postcards (both individually and as a set of 7 cards), and as art prints on Society6.
Miles *I like you more than I like my wife* O’Brien (good thing he and Keiko are just the centre of a massive polycule, isn’t it)
also @sigynpenniman can we talk about how Julian sits on that chair???
I would like to thank you profusely for bringing the way he is sitting to my attention because I have NEVER NOTICED BEFORE IN ALL THE TIMES I HAVE SEEN THIS SCENE
I have seen this 100 times and I have never actually clocked that the things his hands are resting on are his KNEES
WHY IS HE SITTING LIKE THAT
What’s he got his feet on? Is he like…perched on that chair? I’m at work but I want to lighten that screenshot just so see that perch better.
I promise a lightened image later!
it looks like… he somehow managed to fold up his ludicrously lengthy legs… and balance his feet on the edge of the chair… sir, that cannot be starfleet protocol. you’re lucky it’s your best friend who loves you sitting opposite
(but yesss please lighter images! for research!!!)
UPDATE! I’m so tired I’m absolutely delirious and that seemed like a good time to do this!
Turns out brightening up the image really hammered home the absolute absurdity of that pose! I love him! So much! Ahhhh! Theoretically he has his feet on the edge of the chair but it’s more like he’s doing ballet stretches! I’m crying! I need to go to sleep! I love he! So fucking much!
love the use of the word “theoretically” here. We can accept that theoretically Dr Julian Bashir should be able to fold himself up like an ikea desk, but practically he’s a dork with legs too long to be contained for long
One of those fandom things that I love is when there’s new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go “Aye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.”
And everyone else just “aye.”
Not to mention the plot tropes.
“I don’t think the Highschool AU is going to come in too strong this year. Fandoms a touch jaded for that. But the hurt/comfort is growin’ thick as weeds and twice as fast. It’ll be a good harvest, fer sure.”
i don’t know how to insert a readmore in mobile so you’re going to have to deal with this post. bear with me. i don’t understand why ds9 fandom casts garak as some sort of suave oscar wilde daddy dom when he’s clearly the kind of older man who gets trashed at a casino at 3pm on thursdays and tips dabo boys extra to hold him while he cries
the first thing we ever see him do is beeline over to the very shiniest twink from a nation comprised solely of shiny twinks (while he’s fucked up on space oxy btw) like “hey, i usually don’t approach people from space grindr in crowded public places before noon like this, but i haven’t had sex in nine years, so hmu if you ever want to…. ‘visit my tailoring shop’……… as they say.” he’s not that smooth.
imo that’s the very thing that makes g/b so great. like while garak IS technically a dangerous feminine powerful enemy spy, which as we all know is julian bashir’s charmingly bisexual fetish, even when bashir runs into ops for the first time like “I THINK GARAK IS A SPY AND WE CAN LEARN ALL MANNER OF SPY SECRETS FROM HIM” jadzia is immediately like “bro maybe but i’m pretty sure he mostly just wants to s your d.” and it’s actually incredibly magical that it even works!! ONLY fucking julian “teach for america” bashir would look at this portly middle-aged disaster of lizard man like “holy shit, i finally found my very own bond girl, holy shit, my dream.“ i honestly honestly just don’t think people understand the central themes of star trek: deep space nine at all
we talk a lot abt world heritage posts but this post literally deserves to be preserved in the library of congress

There you go, a fandom Christmas present. Also, if anyone makes such a thing for Julian (I don’t think I have the time for that project; he’s in a lot more episodes), please let me know.
In which Aziraphale and Crowley spend their time contentedly indoors in one warm night during Christmas Eve, just relishing in each other’s company. Just as Crowley starts to fall asleep, Aziraphale gives him an innocent goodnight kiss.
Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
so last year i drew my first ineffable husbands fanart on my phone during assembly at school and i wanted draw it again to see the progress i’ve made in 2019!
look, I remember when I first heard of the Good Omens fandom, and naturally, Aziraphale’s name, I was struck frozen like, “Wait, I know that name. Israfil, that’s a first. Which is what reluctantly pulled me in
(I’m a Muslim)
See, growing up, we have this nursery rhyme for the 10 most important angels that you have to know, and Israfil’s name was right up there (if you want to know, the other nine are Jibril, Mikail, Mungkar, Nakir, Raqib, Atid,Ridhwan, Malik andIzrail)Christians to mention some of them in movies, I mean, you guys have versions of them too, right? So I’ve naturally heard the mentions of Jibril (Gabriel), Mikail (Michael) and Izrail (Azrael), but I was kind of stuck at the mention of Israfil of all angels, so throughout all 6 episodes I kept trying to remember what his main purpose was, in the nursery rhyme (you know that thing that you can’t think of something purely due to the reason because you’re looking for it?). As the story progressed I began to recall that he was a pretty big deal for starting Doomsday, but it wasn’t until this scene happened;
