Last evening in Belgrade. I'm not sad to leave: it's too busy for me. I would gladly return for something though. Postcards have been sent, icecream devoured, and a city of all the arts enjoyed.
Big beanbag friend (is very comfy). My ankles and feet are so swollen (heat) so I need this!
Belgrade is a far too busy metropole but I have (re)connected with people already at this conference and miss academia. Not that there's any real chance of my future in (arts) academia at Nottingham anymore but I can try elsewhere #metalstudies #travel #conference #beograd
Holiday/conference treats: last time I had a loaded waffle was at Sprinkles Gelato in Bournemouth (2016?) and that's got like 100000 views on Google XD
On my way to Belgrade! A new country for me! I can read the Cyrillic well but the Latin is still hard (argh accents), and I've packed my grammar book for the plane. Looking forward to doing stuff with my Russian research again :D Heathrow is looking tropical.
It's my 2yr anniversary of permanently marking how much Ythendria changed my life. I still love it as much as the 1st time I saw @morgul.bsky.social's design. I'm still writing about, I'm arting with her. Her name gets used in our current Mon game #DnD #D&D #DnDOC #D&DOC #OC #OCArt #tattoo #OCTattoo
Frozen sweetcorn and edamame beans defrosted in the microwave, add seasoning halfway through, add bockwurst and twaróg, another 30s, done. Dinner in less than 10mins.
Wondering if the @museumofchildhood.bsky.social would be interested in this blast from the past. Matt and I definitely remember something like it. That liquid glue that barely stuck anything XD
I'm a published academic again! I wrote this back in 2022 so I've no idea what it says anymore and will actually have to re-read it XD #metalstudies #deeppurple #academia #academicwriting
I have catalogued all the furniture and big electrical items to go (pictures and dimensions). I have cleaned the fridge. I have de-moused the last mousey thing in the house. Do I want to try and tackle some (more) kitchen drawers? #family #houseclearance
Thankyou for helping me not feel like a failure! It took me 8mths to draw our 'initial' Dragonlance party (2023). I scanned the lines to digital and recoloured it digitally for the final picture, so I had a beginning and end :) I have since managed to (digitally) draw everyone's character quickly :)
So far, all I've got to show of Sniv's is this, but it is absolutely one of my favourite comms because there's so much damn important detail in it. And I will not stop gushing about Ythendria's hair. Plus Noll looks like he could break that table with his pinky <3
Groupie is a fey creature summoned by the spell 'Find Greater Steed' by my D&D5e bard Ythendria. His fey incarnation is the green one, celestial the blue and fiendish the red. Otto is not an OC, he's a faerie dragon NPC in the same campaign, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, but I wanted to do him justice.
Ythendria likes it enough she eventually buys her own harness (yes that is my tattoo, artwork by @morgul.bsky.social, whose work on shibari inspired this whole thing). I suspect her pre-adventuring friends might have left her tied places when she was being annoying, but now she can teleport XD
How about a stopmotion robot satyr who's an artificer AND a champion of the nature goddess? Bonus dragon friend for added flavour, or an alternative choice :)
I have to plan out a room/place to describe it properly XD Thankfully I have a degree that involved planning this sort of thing and I'm really good at it in PowerPoint! Here's one of my Trollskull Manor ones.
If you want to have a go with any of mine, feel free! I've included dragony things and a mechanoid for something different (from me) :)
