Oh, my heart.

The grom promo but it's "Reaching Out"! The eps have such similar vibes when it comes to Luz' turmoil about her parents and Amity's insecurities

Moringmark woke up today and chose violence. Hurt people don't always hurt people. Sometimes they're so desperate to make the pain stop that they turn to radical love instead.

Whenever my squish and I are watching something, inevitably one of us turns to the other and stage whispers, "Make it GAYER."

I took this to heart with my fic.

It bugs me so much that AO3 going down seems to have kneecapped the usual bump in views and comments I get after a new chapter. I need my dopamine fix! XD

This is the sort of art which really encapsulates what I hoped to capture in my writing, especially in that first chapter which sets the scene and establishes the character of Luz as a homeless teenager. I've always found cities strangely beautiful despite how monochromatic many of them are. There's a peculiar rhythm and harmony to their cacophony of transit — hundreds of cars going in different directions, pedestrians crossing streets and the sound of the crosswalk alerts, the soft hum of electric lights. The rain always adds a feeling of isolation to the mix, being curtained off and alone despite being surrounded by thousands of people. Anyway, I'm sanmeikitten. I write things that make people cry for different reasons.

Rain

Twenty-one sheets of paper. She'd started with just drawing the symbol—there had to be a better word for it. Rune? Glyph, maybe?—over and over, trying to recreate it without a reference this time. The first few didn't seem right, but the fourth clicked somehow. Her lines weren't perfect; the drawing lessons her father had given her so long ago were muddied by years without practice, but there was apparently some amount of leeway permitted.

A single tap and the paper crinkled upon itself and expanded into a dull glowing ball of light, and for a wonder, it didn't even hurt her eyes that much. In fact, she liked it so much that she drew it again and made another light, and then another, and then another, and before long she could draw the glyph from memory.

Twenty-one pages, twenty-one lights. If the light really had played any role in Eda's transforming back, Luz was certainly making extra sure the effect lasted as long as possible. Practical applications, practice makes perfect and all that. She wasn't just making lights for the sake of the sheer giddy joy of doing magic. Just... academic reasons.

I love them so much.

ART REQUESTS FOR POLITICAL ACTION!!!

Hey y’all! So I don’t talk about where I work on fandom socials because I don’t want to dox myself or whatever but fun fact: I am a scientist in the Office of Research and Development at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency! I am speaking now as a private citizen and not as an EPA representative. An article from the NYT came out yesterday saying that the reduction in force plan for the EPA includes a dissolution of my office, which, to be clear, is the entire scientific research arm and the largest office of the agency. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that would significantly hinder the EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment.

It’s not just the EPA: the unelected and not congressionally approved leader (Elon Musk) of the unofficial department that was not established by Congress (DOGE) is (illegally) coming after ALL federal services just so their billionaire friends can get richer. I know a lot of you are not U.S. Americans, so you can’t do anything, but for those of you who are: please do something, whether it’s calling or writing your reps, showing at a protest, or just talking to your family (talk to your family about Social Security, Medicare, and the VA particularly).

This is about the constitution (which has been violated an absurd amount of times in the last two months), it is about YOUR public services, it is about YOUR worker’s rights and civil rights, and it is, frankly, about the economy, which is already taking a hit.

Every little thing that you do counts 🙏🏼 AND if you do something I WILL FULFILL AN ART REQUEST FOR YOU!!! I have never done this before, so patience please 💖💖💖 but I will do my best and I look forward to hearing about your action!!! DM me with your political action after you have done it and your request (I may negotiate based on my skill level 😅).
