How I would love to answer your question, as there is nothing more than I like than the delighted smiles of readers satiated by answers.
However, when reading your question (I have mentally added a question mark to the end of your words to elevate them from fragment to query; this is just one of my many talents) all I could think of is how I long for the day when the word “virgin” is mostly used for describing olive oil or a particular set of islands rather than a human, as I am struck by how the tendency to consider virgin humans a markedly different commodity than nonvirgin humans has ended up in years and years of collective uncertainty, agony, judgment, and ignorance on the part of said virgins and nonvirgins.
Was so sure this was going to end with, “Stiefvater out,” and a mic drop. Though, to be fair, there was a goat drop, and that does make even more sense.
I’m not overly excited for a third spider-man reboot, but I can think of two ways that it would catch my interest:
Way #1:
Way #2:
Yes.
Does the Marvel collaboration mean a full reboot? I haven’t read that as confirmed yet. The news came last night like a SPIDER VAN at MIDNIGHT in your DRIVEWAY, saying “GET IN, WE’RE GOING SHOPPING.” I feel the current actors aren’t the problem (the writing is one), but would love and support either idea above.
(I still feel that the first Amazing Spider-Man was a 5/5. The most unbelievable part at the time seemed to be that Peter Parker would use Bing, but even that I was cool with. The second one, I am fairly confident in decreeing, sidelined and threw away character depth for franchise building, which was very disappointing.)
So I was in Ikea and I said to myself, ‘You’re almost 21 now kid you gotta grow up and buy yourself a statement piece. Something that screams ‘responsible adult’ and ‘definitely not prone to regressive/impulsive purchases’.
I want to be turned into a dinosaur! HOLDING OUT FOR A SUPERVILLAIN OVER HERE APPARENTLY BC THE HEROES CAN’T BE BOTHERED
I may be celebrating Supervillains Day. ;)
Questionable. (And I like all the answers.)

The disproportionally white publishing industry matters because agents and editors stand between writers and readers. Anika Noni Rose put it perfectly in Vanity Fair this month: “There are so many writers of color out there, and often what they get when they bring their books to their editors, they say, ‘We don’t relate to the character.’ Well it’s not for you to relate to! And why can’t you expand yourself so you can relate to the humanity of a character as opposed to the color of what they are?”
It only took me a year to revisit was was originally a crappy acrylic painting, but I built this old gig poster in illustrator today, sans type (I’ll get to that when I have more free time). It’s unreal to think a year ago I was working traditionally!!!

“Her trademark look is the red custom ladies Stetson Stratoliner hat, a burst of color in a sea of grey fedoras. Working in man’s world she needed to stand out, and she did that using color in her wardrobe.”

Quick fanart for Agent Carter! Simple but pretty fun to do.
I haven’t done one of these arrangements in forever! From the lovely taylorswift, this is “Blank Space,” but arranged as if it’s a fifties musical movie love song (picture Fred Astaire singing to Audrey Hepburn on a beautiful outdoor set with like a bridge and a pond and flowers etc etc).
Apologies for the POOR tuning of the piano— since moving away from home, this is the only one I have access to. Saving up for a keyboard! :)
I always love your covers. They’re so great. I think the tuning issues lend it a bit of a lovely rainy/music box tone.

the secret of being a writer: not to expect others to value what you’ve done as you value it. not to expect anyone else to perceive in it the emotions you have invested in it. once this is understood, all will be well. not indifference, not apathy—but self-containment is the result.
