We’ve teamed up with Hog Island Press to giveaway a set of these high quality Monsters in America maps. More details right here.

Went to a friends lake cottage last weekend. Had trouble sleeping the first night. When I finally fell asleep this is what I saw.
Postcard-ish cover art for my and Couyfish’s Marvel fanfic, Campout Chaos: A Couple of Secrets! I have fun making the signature look like a National Park stamp. ♥
The fic’s summary:
Secretly engaged Steve and Tony take half of the Avengers on a weekend camping trip, planning to reveal their engagement to the team one person at a time. The weekend rapidly derails, though, when they find that their sort-of son Peter is camping up the hill with his new boyfriend, nefarious super villain Loki is camping just across the water, and there might be a lake monster on the loose…
If it sounds like fun, you can read it here on AO3. ♥

Did you know that there’s a Japanese version of the Loch Ness monster too?
Issie is a Japanese lake monster that is said to live in Lake Ikeda on the island of Kyushu. According to the myth, Issie was a white female horse that lived on the island with its little foal.
One day, her foal was stolen by a samurai, and after being unable to find it, Issie jumped off a cliff into the lake in despair.
Her grief transformed her into a black cryptid monster with two humps on its back, which resurfaces every now and then to try to find her lost foal. #JLMyōkaioftheday#japanloverme Art by @littlemisspaintbrush
