“There. Much better” Ed whispered softly as he rested his chin on Stede’s shoulder.

Boyfriend's pockets are the best pockets. Ed says so. Got to do an illustration for @watchtheflow.bsky.social's toasty sweet 'Bonfire Night'! 🧡

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern warm clothing; coats and scarf and gloves. Ed is resting his chin on Stede's shoulder as he shoves his hands into Stede's coat pockets from behind. Stede is giggling, all crinkly eyes and dimples. The night is cold enough for their breath to show and they're lit from below from a nearby bonfire. They're as sticky toasty sweet as smores.

i’d say the cognitive dissonance must be unbearable for the sweatervest tory fellow, but that presupposes he possesses the literacy to understand that the guy he’s cosplaying as would fucking loathe him

Please say hello to Clarence. He wanted to show off his newfangled phonograph machine.

(oh beans I just remembered I did prints of this guy ko-fi.com/samikelsh/shop)

#halloween #lilguy #cuteart

Ink painting in shades of sepia of a pumpkin-headed fellow in 19th century jacket and waistcoat and bow tie, with a chain that's presumably attached to a pocket watch clasped to his waistcoat. He's posing nonchalantly before a stage curtain with a tall, small table draped with a lace tablecloth, on which stands a phonograph playing a record. He looks casually happy. He's a very special guy.

Day 7 of Stream Ink is Botany Day, so here’s a lovely botanist hard at work analysing some samples. I’m sure Professor O’Brien here will notice that that moss sample over on the right has gained sentience before it escapes the lab, don’t even worry about it x

#streamink2025 #plants #ds9 #cuteart

Ink painting in sap green of Professor Keiko O’Brien in her botany lab. She is wearing dungarees and safety gloves and is examining a sample in a glass flask. On her desk are additional flasks, test tubes, and dishes of plant and moss samples, and a cup of tea. Behind her are an array of potted plants on shelves, all carefully labeled. On the far right hand side of her desk, a moss sample appears to be escaping from its sample dish.

I’m still trying to recover from extremely costly car repairs (payments come out monthly for another like 4-5 months) and other life expenses.

I’ve also got stuff in my ko-fi and Etsy shops if ppl would rather buy than donate 🫶

this isn't even news - i swear i saw articles about this back when i was using an inhaler for a while, like 10 years ago. they'd just rather blame anyone other than the big tech companies actually draining vast resources for no reason, so might as well direct our ire at disabled people i guess 🤷

aww, thanks jenn! ❤️ i'm in the midst of some unexpected medical expenses (and boy do i miss eating solid food) but that doesn't stop me from painting, thankfully:

did you know i've got commissions open? let me paint your oc or dnd character or blorbo (or blorbos holding hands, perhaps, teehee?) or you and/or your sweetheart and/or your beloved pet?

Ink painting of the artist's dnd character, a goblin blacksmith sorcerer named Unnr, hammering what will eventually be made into a fine knife blade.

i refuse to fall for corey’s garbage take on fandom rage-engagement bait post, so i’m quoting it here.

my experience with fandom has involved making friends with other grown-ups and engaging in a wide range of hobbies together. that man just wants attention, even if it’s just getting mad at him.
