This is one of my husband’s favorite short stories. He quotes it from memory. I’m pretty sure he can recite the entire thing from memory.

This is a tremendously impactful short story and every time I see it, it serves as an excellent reboot button for my state of mind.

Expression studies and design headcanons for cezhou + My thought process if you gaf

For Shen Lanzhou, the main thing I wanted to get right were his eyes... They're always described as smiling (even when he himself isn't) ("can't help having a set of affectionate eyes"), so I tried to capture that in my style. Deep set eyes, long lashes for that extra alluring, huli-jing look LOL. Also I love the swoopy side part that some artists give him- it differentiates him a lot from the other danmei boys (also he wears bows in his hair which is very moe to me) so I tried to play with the shape language of that. Overall I just really wanted him to look pretty, this is the face that ancient chinese men would go to war for Okay? Okay


As for ce'an, I wanted him to look youthful and free spirited while also like a domineering war general... I kinda had a hard time capturing that buuuut I think this is my best attempt @_@. I love love his hair in the eng tl- the swept up hair just works so well, like it got messy from the wind after a day of horse riding. Sharp handsome features for a sharp handsome boy...I am partial to his eyebrows in particular- thick eyebrows just make every character design better man I don't make the rules

cezhou i love them!!! fanart lovely qjj

Thank you for tagging me @bloody-wonder!

Not 30 covers, but the Temeraire book implies the whole series and so do the Discworld & Fairyland covers. This is a mix of some of my physical copies (like The Blue Sisters, found in a hostel, and The Magus that I began years ago and stalled), an ARC I should’ve finished (Hall’s Never After), the series I want to read more of (i.e. Temeraire and Discworld), a couple of Classic romances and some Tanith Lee, which I saw recced recently and her series sounds like my next problematic fave <3

Tagging anyone who might want to do this! What books are on your must-read list this year? Would love to hear from @serkershit @mintawasalreadytaken @thehoneybeet @skeptiquex @stripedroseandsketchpads @livvypages/ @onemadeofglass if they feel so inclined x
