Available on Inprnt!

[Image Description: Digital fanart of Ulla and Signy from The Language of Thorns, shown underwater in mermaid form. They are loosely twisted around each other, Ulla with her back mostly to the viewer and Signy facing her. Ulla has her left hand lightly cupping Signy’s chin, and their faces are close to one another, mouths open and smiling softly as they look at one another. /end ID]

imagine having to join some bunch of weirdos who woke you up from a depression nap and now you have to save the world.

hey fellow Europeans (EU), just a friendly and mildly concerned reminder that in less than a month, the European elections are taking place. it's an election with a historically low turnout, but one that is just as important as any other, if not more. the composition of the EU parliament determines the political direction of the EU, and has an impact on all 27 countries through directives and regulations that get voted.

we cannot let far right extremist parties get an even bigger stronghold there than they already do. sadly, there are very significant threats of exactly that happening from many countries.

so please, if you are an EU citizen living in the EU and are of voting age, check the modalities to vote in your country of residence, and make sure to make your voice heard.

In fact many of the more far right political parties want to attempt to DISBAND the EU from inside the parliament.

Please vote if you can!

Rating: Teen Relationships: Lucrecia/Ifalna, Lucrecia & Sephiroth Characters: Lucrecia Crescent, Ifalna, Nanaki's Mother Wordcount: 12,570

Summary: How would the world be different if Ifalna never died? Kasumi Kisaragi? Thea Lockhart?

This is an exploration of a universe in which every mother who dies in canon is instead guaranteed survival, and the chance to play an active role in shaping the world around her.

Yes, all of them.

Somewhere between a longfic and a vignette collection, which begins with the earliest averted death and follows the ripples onward. This fic uses only mom POVs, and considering some of them do not even have canon names, there's a lot of headcanoning going on here, but I hope y'all will consider joining me for it.

The fic is about two thirds drafted, I will be posting chapters as I edit them!

Chapter 4 is up!

Phryne Fisher for this month’s portrait!

ARTISTS FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 - ROUND 4! On the 25th May, I'll be once again hosting a bunch of artists to do art requests on stream to raise money for Palestinian escape funds.

This round's roster is very lucky to include returning artists Lilypichu from OfflineTV, cuptoast, @oooocleo, @karvviie, @bonesbunns and Elfilibust!

If you won't be able to make it to the streams but would still like to donate money, you can find a spreadsheet with hundreds of escape funds listed here. Alternatively, you could donate to one of three funds that I am focusing a lot of my efforts on.

As always, these fundraiser streams will always be available to watch over on my twitch channel here. Hope to see some of you there!

when you call your reps to ask them to pretty please stop taking away your rights, remember:

remember to call because that way their phone is going off and their peers can hear it because their offices are close together (emails and letters don't work like that), so it can rattle them if they get high volumes. remember that you gotta make them feel like they're losing something.

Talking points I've been using in my blood red state:

"As a taxpayer," "As a parent," and "As a homeowner" are key phrases.

Time for some leafy seadragon mermaids.

The mermaid on the right has her back mostly to the viewer. She is average-sized with light skin, short red hair, and a golden yellow tail. The other mermaid is slender and brown-skinned with long blue hair and a blue tail with purple accents.
