✨️I'm Rook!✨️

30+ hobby artist, cosplayer & craft generalist. Neurodivergent, queer & chronically...something.

I dabble in a fair few fandoms and somehow always circle back to my own cast of OCs. Expect sporadic home decor updates of a vaguely whimsigoth variety.

Digital art: a flyer/poster/greeting card inspired artwork of a witch with a wavy blunt bob in bright orange and an elaborate burlesque outfit comprised of purple, fuchsia and orange layers with a lot of gold glitter. She is perched on a broom in a pin-up pose, knees up, one high heeled shoe kicked up skyward with a glittery jack-o-lantern treat bucket swinging on the heel. The background is a circle of dark blue night sky on parchment, framed by the words SEASON'S GREETINGS with "Season of the Witch!" Scrawled along the bottom. This is op's character Dakota, in his drag persona as the Maenad.

Selfie: Rook as Percy Jackson, wearing a dark blue KN95 mask and standing in a tunnel with decorative waterfalls lit up blue. His hair is wild and wavy and black with a shock of silver white in the forelock.

Mirror selfie: Rook as Vash the Stampede in a modern punk outfit, pulling from the 2023 Stampede design in hair and arm but wearing the iconic glasses from the original series. The outfit consists of a self-made red denim "battle jacket" vest, heavily ripped black jeans, a black fanmade Trigun tee with a graphic reminiscent of a punk or metal band tee, and those big goth boots with metal plates but the metal plates are heart shaped.

was struck by sudden inspiration to paint everyone's favorite hot boy with watercolors 🎨
#art #watercolors #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt

a shoulders-up watercolor portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is depicted as a young-looking slender drow with light gray-purple skin and short white hair. there is a silver ornament hooked around his pointed ear, shaped like a small leafed branch. his shirt is filled in with almost black purple ink, allowing his face, neck and right hand to stand out; the hand is up by Essek's face, the fingers touching his lips in a pensive gesture as he looks off to the side. the background behind his head and in the upper right corner is sectioned off and filled in with the same ink as his shirt, balancing the composition and providing a dark backdrop for Essek's light hair.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."
