Image Description: A three panel meme, all featuring the pillsbury dough boy. The first panel has a blue background, with small text in the lower left corner reading “mrdavid.com”.

The dough boy in this panel is edited to have matzah skin, and a Magen David is on his hat. Text above him reads “He is not!” and text below reads “happy passover!” The third panel is a slightly different blue, with small text in the lower right corner reading “mainuoire”. The dough boy in this panel is again the classic white color. Text above reads “he is off limits until sundown!” and text below reads “happy ramadan!” End Description.

[ID: digital painting of keyleth and the raven queen. the raven queen is standing behind and above keyleth, face between keyleth’s antlers, and on keyleth’s shoulders and chest. keyleth is holding her own hands in front of her body and staring straight ahead. she is wearing a mantle of leaves, where some float away to the side, gradually turning into black feathers. /end ID]
finally i can post my piece for the critmas exchange! this one was for @banrions / celaenos on AO3 (again, which tbh i personally dont mind bc her prompts are always Amazing), who amongst other things asked for keyleth/the raven queen, where keyleth is the one that makes the deal with the raven queen to save vex, and i just had this IMAGE in my head immediately when reading that prompt and Forged Right Ahead.
but also i wanted to leave it kind of open to interpretation? whether it’s romantic or platonic (or… whatever else), whether keyleth is Alive Champion or floating around in the afterlife, and whatever else may be relevant. but finding a combo of kiki’s plant and colours aesthetic and the… Death Goddess Dealio was so much fun!! it just worked really well imo, and i enjoyed it a lot!
also here’s a bonus closeup of keyleth bc i’m very pleased with her face:
[Image description: Art of Agnes Montague from The Magnus Archives. She is pale, freckled, with long bronze hair, orange eyes, soot covered fingertips, and wears an orange vest top and brown skirt. There is a small bronze bracelet with a flame charm on her right wrist. She has her left hand lifting her skirt at the side, and the right hand is above her head, with flames trailing from her fingers. She is staring up at the flames wistfully.

[ID: 6 different drawings of Stede, all with different facial hair: stubble, labeled “the protagonist”; a curled mustache and sharp goatee labeled “the colonel”; a chin beard labeled “the president”; a wild long beard and stache labeled “the castaway”; a large curled mustache labeled “the gorgeous man”; and a ginger mustache and scruff labeled “the rhys”. /end ID]
[ID: Ed, beard beginning to grow back out, stands against the railing on the deck of the ship at night. He is shirtless and wearing leather pants. Wind whips gently across through his hair and pull tears from his eyes as he opens his hand and lets his mother’s red silk slip from his fingers and drift into the wind. As he does so, equally red tentacles begin climbing up his legs to wrap around his waist and arms. /end ID]
Post-Gay chicken tender era and into just gay tenderness era. I am Conflicted about a Stede beard, narratively it’s a good idea it just looks wrong to me lmao

[ID of original post:
1. Waist-up of Stede, slightly grayer, with his hair swept back wearing a teal vest and trouser set over a pale green shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He has a gold hoop in one ear and you can see his wedding ring on a chain around his neck through the open vee of his shirt. In one hand, he holds an orange. In the other, he holds Ed’s hand. Ed’s beard is trimmed short and his long hair is up in a high ponytail. He is wearing a red silk kerchief tied around his neck, purple tee shirt, soft brown leather pants, and his usual rings and necklaces. Stede is smiling at his love with heartbreaking fondness as Ed brings their linked hands up and leans down to softly kiss Stede’s knuckles.
2a. Chest-up of Stede and Ed standing close together on a mottled brown background meant to represent the captain’s quarters on the Revenge. Stede, in his nightgown, looks offscreen as if into a mirror, rubbing the short, graying, gingery-blond beard and curly mustache on his face. He looks skeptical. Ed, shirtless with a trimmed beard and his hair wild and messy around his shoulders, leans sleepily against his shoulder. Stede asks, “what do you think of the beard, darling?” Still half-asleep, Ed responds, “hmm, you look like a sexy colonizer.”
2b. The scene zooms out as Stede turns to look at Ed, confused and unsure if he has been insulted. “Is…is that? That can’t be a compliment.” Ed looks back and responds simply, “idk I love you.” /end ID]
[ID of reblog:
Screenshot of tags from tumblr user theywontletmebeprincipal: I think the perfect compromise is no beard but he gets a dumb little mustache. Like you can’t tell me sideburns mustache and no beard isn’t him.
Artist response is a chest-up drawing of Stede with the very facial hair described: long graying sideburns and a graying mustache with curled ends. He looks a little prouder of this option and rubs his chin with interest, looking off into the same invisible mirror. Behind him, Ed is giving a thumbs-up, pink hearts floating around his head. /end ID]

PSA to all you fantasy writers because I have just had a truly frustrating twenty minutes talking to someone about this: it’s okay to put mobility aids in your novel and have them just be ordinary.
Like. Super okay.
I don’t give a shit if it’s high fantasy, low fantasy or somewhere between the lovechild of Tolkein meets My Immortal. It’s okay to use mobility devices in your narrative. It’s okay to use the word “wheelchair”. You don’t have to remake the fucking wheel. It’s already been done for you.
And no, it doesn’t detract from the “realism” of your fictional universe in which you get to set the standard for realism. Please don’t try to use that as a reason for not using these things.
There is no reason to lock the disabled people in your narrative into towers because “that’s the way it was”, least of all in your novel about dragons and mermaids and other made up creatures. There is no historical realism here. You are in charge. You get to decide what that means.

“Depiction of Chinese philosopher Confucius in a wheelchair, dating to ca. 1680. The artist may have been thinking of methods of transport common in his own day.”
“The earliest records of wheeled furniture are an inscription found on a stone slate in China and a child’s bed depicted in a frieze on a Greek vase, both dating between the 6th and 5th century BCE.[2][3][4][5]The first records of wheeled seats being used for transporting disabled people date to three centuries later in China; the Chinese used early wheelbarrows to move people as well as heavy objects. A distinction between the two functions was not made for another several hundred years, around 525 CE, when images of wheeled chairs made specifically to carry people begin to occur in Chinese art.[5]”
“In1655,Stephan Farffler, a 22 year old paraplegic watchmaker, built the world’s first self-propelling chair on a three-wheel chassis using a system of cranksandcogwheels.[6][3] However, the device had an appearance of a hand bike more than a wheelchair since the design included hand cranks mounted at the front wheel.[2]
The invalid carriage or Bath chair brought the technology into more common use from around 1760.[7]
In1887, wheelchairs (“rolling chairs”) were introduced to Atlantic City so invalid tourists could rent them to enjoy the Boardwalk. Soon, many healthy tourists also rented the decorated “rolling chairs” and servants to push them as a show of decadence and treatment they could never experience at home.[8]
In1933 Harry C. Jennings, Sr. and his disabled friend Herbert Everest, both mechanical engineers, invented the first lightweight, steel, folding, portable wheelchair.[9] Everest had previously broken his back in a mining accident. Everest and Jennings saw the business potential of the invention and went on to become the first mass-market manufacturers of wheelchairs. Their “X-brace” design is still in common use, albeit with updated materials and other improvements. The X-brace idea came to Harry from the men’s folding “camp chairs / stools”, rotated 90 degrees, that Harry and Herbert used in the outdoors and at the mines.[citation needed]
“But Joy, how do I describe this contraption in a fantasy setting that wont make it seem out of place?”
“It was a chair on wheels, which Prince FancyPants McElferson propelled forwards using his arms to direct the motion of the chair.”
“It was a chair on wheels, which Prince EvenFancierPants McElferson used to get about, pushed along by one of his companions or one of his many attending servants.”
“But it’s a high realm magical fantas—”
“It was a floating chair, the hum of magical energy keeping it off the ground casting a faint glow against the cobblestones as {CHARACTER} guided it round with expert ease, gliding back and forth.”
“But it’s a stempunk nov—”
“Unlike other wheelchairs he’d seen before, this one appeared to be self propelling, powered by the gasket of steam at the back, and directed by the use of a rudder like toggle in the front.”
Give. Disabled. Characters. In. Fantasy. Novels. Mobility. Aids.
If you can spend 60 pages telling me the history of your world in innate detail down to the formation of how magical rocks were formed, you can god damn write three lines in passing about a wheelchair.
Signed, your editor who doesn’t have time for this ableist fantasy realm shit.

[Id: A twitter post made up of two images. The caption reads “No talk me i’m angy”
In the first image, a tiny all-white kitten is sitting in a cardboard box. His back is to the camera, and he has pressed his entire face into the corner of the box.
In the second image, a different but equally tiny kitten is sitting all curled up on the pavement. This kitten is white with orange splotches, and is also facing away from the camera.
The reblog consists of a picture that looks like it came from a child’s storybook. It shows a girl in a red dress and a black scarf sliding down a snow bank. Her hands are in the air, and her ponytail is flying behind her.
The words at the bottom of the page read: “‘When you’re angy, then you’re angy,’ thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. 'Sometimes you have to be angy. Every little creature has the right to get angy.’”
[Id: a Twitter post with the caption “Merry Christmas here’s my cat getting busted for taking a cinnamon roll two seconds after we told him no” above two images.
First Image: A lopsided picture of a small wooden fold-up table with a plate of cinnamon rolls on top. A naughty cat is standing on his hind legs, pawing at a roll. Behind him is an out of focus fully decorated Christmas tree.
Second Image: Everything is exactly the same except Naughty Boy Cat has noticed the camera and retracted his paw. His face betrays panic and, I hope, guilt.
[Id: A twitter post captioned “She likes to collect rocks” Beneath is a picture of a cat on a window seat, laying on a comfy pink mat. Directly in front of her is a line of small rocks.
