I Tried My Hand At Making One. Also Everyone Should The Young Wizards Series. Book 2 Has Whale Wizards!

I tried my hand at making one.  Also everyone should the Young Wizards series. Book 2 has whale wizards!

Had a dream where this became the new meme for a bit

This is absolutely gorgeous!

Also I need to mention that my brain skipped a few words and read this, ”Percy Jackson and the Last True Poets of the Sea”.  I know nothing about the second book but it makes a great title for a Percy Jackson story.

It occurs to me that I never shared my art for Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe here! This art was featured on a puzzle in the October @rainbowcrate! It’s also included as a print in the December box, which will be shipping soon, along prints of my Percy Jackson art and the Last True Poets of the Sea art. :)

Thanks to awildbooknerdappeared on IG for the photo!

LOL!  Oh I love this.  Poor Stephen. ‘Just because I’m short doesn’t make me a magical girl!”  Crane would take far too much enjoyment of Stephen dressed as a magical girl. 

Now I’m imagining a Magpie Lord/Card Captor Sakura crossover.  Crane and Tomoyo would bond over a shared love of clothes and forcibly dressing people up ... the more I think on this the more I’m convinced that Lord Crane and Tomoyo meeting would be fantastic (for the readers) and terrifying for everyone else. 

Sometimes, these absurd ideas just pop into my head. I’m sorry. Only not really.

Choosing Kindness Book Recs

I’m been thinking about stories and the types of things I like to read.  I usually think in terms of genre, I love fantasy and space opera and very specific types of romance to name a few.  But one type of story I really gravitate to isn’t tied to genre at all (though most of my examples are fantasy).  I love stories about genuinly good people doing their best to make the world a better place.  Now that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy stories about anti-heroes, rogues or very flawed characters, I do.  But there is a very unique flavor to these stories despite wildly different settings so thought I’d make a list of these types of stories.  Characters who, when given a choice, choose kindness.  I’ll add more as I think of them but please feel free to add on to this list with your own recs.

The Young Wizards series by Diane Duane  Book 1: So You Want to Be A Wizard 

All the Heralds of Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey  Book 1: Arrows of the Queen

The Order of the Air by Melissa Scott and Jo Graham  Book 1: Lost Things

Stealing Fire by Jo Graham (I don’t know if this trait carries over to the rest of the Numinous World books, I only just started reading the series, but Lydias is such a great character.  There are so many moments were he could be selfish or cruel and the world he lives in would excuse or even encourage it but he chooses kindness instead.)

I’ve seen her perform live.  It was several years ago, pre-transition.  The performance was fantastic and I’m so happy to see her again and wish her all the best.

Aaaaaajdjgiagsbjaja

Penn & Teller's Fool Us has invited non-fooler's whom they liked back for a second chance.
