An illustration of Claudia, Lestat and Louis from the TV show Interview With the Vampire. They are gathered around a dining table in their house in Rue Royale, holding up glasses of what is presumably blood. The mood between them is tense.

Made new profile pics for myself and @lindarrow.bsky.social ! My struggle is always that they have to match but I want to draw myself as a weird little guy and Lin as the most beautiful woman in the world...

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

like it's clear to me that he wouldn't be speaking like that if I were his cis son but in a way it's nicer like this. it's like i skipped some of the weird father-son awkwardness you always hear about lmao

one funny thing about having transitioned is that my dad is really supportive and hasn't actually changed the way he talks to me at all, just swapped "daughter" for "son". so he constantly refers to me as his "lovely son" and "beautiful son of mine". i think it's so cute honestly i love it

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

In the spirit of the month and all months, you should support the indie publisher I created to uplift marginalized creatives.

Word of mouth is our biggest advertiser so sharing with others including comic shops/libraries helps a lot!

every time i go to an adult puppet show (which is a lot of times) i always have a small hope that i'll get to see a human fuck a puppet and it never happens because everyone in theater is a coward. apparently

if any of you are noticing that @lindarrow.bsky.social and i are especially synced up it's because i'm visiting her in canada right now. also because we're bound by the red string of fate but that's secondary
