[Image ID: A still image of the character Octavian surrounded by 8 gifs. Line one has a close-up gif of someone writing cursive calligraphy on lined paper, a gif of someone gently squeezing a stuffed teddy bear, and a gif of someone's hands pulling a dagger from a leather sheath and spinning the blade. Line two has a gif of a sunset through an arched stone window and a gif of a timelapse of a sunset over an ocean. Line three has a gif panning over a dagger and sheath laying on wooden planks, a gif of someone holding three small stuffed teddy bears in one hand, and a close-up gif of someone writing the word 'always' in cursive with a pen.]

The riddles for tonight’s trick-or-treat are done. It’s by far not my best calligraphy work but for being something done in an hour while under heavy pain medication, it’s pretty good. I had a little accident with the ink at the end so I decided I might as well embrace the messy old scroll look and smear ink everywhere.

The ‘scrolls’ with a seal are riddles from The Hobbit and the other two are easier riddles for the younger kids.

POV: When Aziraphale is extremely mad at Crowley so he writes down bad words bc he would never say them out loud to him

JOINTS IS PAIN

The ironic thing about cursive to me is that formed it naturally as a way for people to be able to write things quicker by not having to lift up their pen, but I feel like when I was growing up, cursive was treated as this big fancy thing that only the adults and rich people know and you can only have have extremely good penmanship in order to have proper cursive. That’s why it was super hard for us to learn it and we all wrote extremely slow and meticulously so that our teacher would give us our stamp in our textbook so we could go play uno with our friends and be other with it for the rest of class.

There's a reason why 90% of the people I know chose to stick to print script.

Thank you, that's perfect! Literally my entire mobile browsing experience in calligraphic form

I rather like my handwriting in pen. I wish I was good at calligraphy, but I’m too lazy to practice. ✒️✒️✒️ #handwriting #handwritinggoals #calligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/BnC-XPCHgme/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kjmr45a6qlna
