I spy with my little eye... Literally everything

(i've decided that the wallpaper I made deserves to be published as a separate artwork.)

TMA desktop

Well, hello, everyone!

I finally finished my TMA inspired desktop design! (I will never set my own deadlines again in my life ☠️).

You may have noticed that the wallpaper changed a little bit from the sketch stage to the final stage. Somewhere along the way, I realized that the original design didn't match my vision, so I decided to start from scratch 😅. I am very happy with the final result and I hope you will like it too. (I think I will eventually finish the original design if I get inspired).

Thank you all for the nice words and comments! 💚💚💚 They motivated me not to abandon the whole thing. I'm very happy to know that I'm not the only one who liked the idea of a TMA style desktop so much.

I plan to make a couple more sets of wallpapers and icons based on other characters and fears in the future. (But definitely not in the next month hahaha).

I will be very grateful if you want to support me and my work with a penny. My Ko-fi

Icons and wallpapers you can download here.

Thanks again for your support!

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Hey, everybody!

I finally have some free time and decided to do something I've been thinking about for a while!

I present to you a concept of a desktop design inspired by Magnus Archives! The set will have about 24 folder designs based on fears and characters, and a stylized wallpaper with John 👁️👁️👁️

This set will be available for free in 10 to 14 days :)

Maybe in the future, if you like the idea, I will make designs inspired by other characters and add a couple of new folder designs related to them.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to write!!!

i really like in fiction when they're like oh no!!! the bad guys are about to win!!! and Character Who Keeps Trying To Sacrifice Themself For The Greater Good is like. gentlemen i have an idea

TWSA gets a live action adaptation. nobody knows what the original source is, and a few chapters dissuades most people from reading further, but the thing is... the casting is phenomenal. top list actors all the way through. how did the producer even get all of them on this bumfuck novel's adaptation in the first place? who knows. but any concerns about quality due to the subpar source are squashed the moment the first trailer comes out.

it's action-packed, the actors look incredible, and most importantly, it looks fun. it's clear the plot has been heavily tweaked to fit a live-action format, and hey! they even gave the mc a gun (since swords just aren't as cool, obviously). everyone's happy!

except one very pissed off canon purist.

Quick sketch of my doomed boys maybe someday i will finish it

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

yoohankim is kim dokja laying in bed thinking god im a dogshit human being and soon these two will figure it out and leave me and han sooyoung laying in bed thinking god im a dogshit human being im so lucky that ive managed to find these people willing to be with me and i will never let them go and yoo joonghyuk laying in bed thinking well we might have enough onions for that onion soup i wanna make tomorrow night but i should probably stop by the store in the morning and grab some extra just in case. also if either of these people leave me i will kill myself

Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways

The funniest joke in Malevolent is actually the transition from John sounding incredibly turned on and excited by Arthur threatening to kill someone to this:

Jon Sims and Arthur Lester both look like they’d be 80 pounds sopping wet and have more scars than an alley cat but the difference is that Arthur lived in the 1900’s and isn’t supernatural so he could kill Jon with his bare hands. Yes even with Jon’s spooky eye thing. He’d be like “Ceaseless Watcher Turn Your Gaze Upon This Wretched Thing” and Arthur’d be like “I’m blind idiot” and murder him with a rock.

Picking the quotes was really fun hehehe

"read popular novels" that's the devil talking. read some obscure novel updating every day for the last 10 years as its sole reader

Madk is good because of the cannibalism sex eroguro (incredibly hot)

But also… I love the worldbuilding a lot! As much as I was enjoying the aforementioned sex stuff, which is hilarious to me

Truly reading it for the “plot” and the plot

What does “deadbeat fujoshi” mean in your bio?

I force those 2 guys to kiss and then I neglect them emotionally and physically

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

I was talking with a friend. I tried to say mort from Madagascar but I said mort from the Magnus archives. And then this happened

If I had to make it you have to see it

I kinda cooked with this on IG so it’s coming here too

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

poseidon: *looking up at the ocean's surface from his underwater palace*

poseidon: fuck you odysseus, you know what you did!

amphitrite: ...

amphitrite: *sighs*

*meanwhile on ithaca*

odysseus: *yapping away with penelope whilst on a walk through the palace grounds*
