Just a grinning skull from Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Doing my drawings, learning Japanese 🇯🇵, occasionally writing. An abomination unto Nuggan, probably. All art 100% human-produced.

I really enjoyed Light of my Lion, not just for the listening practice but the story too

A gothic castle in the transylvanian mountains.

A great bear of a man, waring a stovepipe hat and carrying a cane: "Now that you are my bride, you will never leave this castle!" 

His new bride replies "Wow! Your library is amazing!"

He continues "Beyond the castle is a high wall with no gate, and beyond that is a deep. Dark forest with no path."

She pulls a volume from a great bookcase, "I suppose it's my library too, now we're married."

He goes on "The forest is crawling with ravenous wolves, malignant birds and the spirits of long-dead travellers."

Ignoring him, carrying a pile of hardbacks "So many books! I can't believe My luck!"

He has sprouted wings, claws and cloven hoofs.
"When the sun sets, I transform into a wild beast and soar into the night, seized by a terrible bloodlust!"

She sits, examining her books as he flies out the window "Ok. I'll stay here and read. See you in the morning"

Just a few short hours ago I was surrounded by the majestic mountains and glittering lochs of the Highlands on a perfect sunny day. What a trip!

A full-size replica TARDIS, K-9, and Davros, and an actual, from-the-show Dalek, but without anything to indicate scale, the photo looks like toys. Disappointing.

Glasgow Transport Museum have an 80s scifi exhibition (Doctor Who, Star Wars, ET, Gremlins, and Back to the Future) going on until 29th March, where I met this lot yesterday. Full size replicas and an actual screen prop Dalek, and I somehow managed to photograph them looking like toys on a shelf!

Yeah, they're nothing fancy, but I get them for a quid in B&M and it's hard to argue with a 20p lunch

photo of a fluffy white cat who looks very soft, caught in the middle of cleaning her belly so she's got one foot up in the air displaying the big tufts of white fur between her pink toe beans.

People are requesting more Marcel and Francie so here are a couple more recent pics! The one of Francie showing off her magnificent tufted beans was just yesterday. 🫘

It's actually against the law to insult an outfit that includes a cardigan. I don't make the rules!

Does George Michael's Freedom '90 include the world's first rickroll?

I spent £200 on this official Master Sword replica, and it made me weep with pure Zelda-fandom joy Bandai's Proplica Master Sword is a legendary collector's item

This is one of my favourite things I've ever written, and it's just me talking about a toy sword. If the Zelda 40th Anniversary has got you in a certain mood, feel free to listen to me blether on about a piece of merch.

Making Navi proud n' that.

A black and white ink drawing on tan paper of a full moon in a cloudy sky. The moon reflects in the dark water below while stars are spread across the sky and the beach.

I originally drew this with a poem written underneath it but I didn't like how I did the text so I've messed about in Krita and create a version without it. I plan on drawing a new picture using the poem at some point in the future though, because it's really rather lovely.
