✨️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.

Cover for Celine Leonora's "A Lesson in Murder," published by Arena-Verlag. This was my first time working with a German publishing company and they were so polite, and efficient, and respectful 🥲 13/10 client.

Illustrated cover of a blonde girl in a plaid school uniform looking out from a gothic window surrounded by fall ivy foliage. Reflected in the squares of the window are two boys faces, one blonde, one black haired with glasses.

By "tricky and annoying" I mostly just mean it was low key neurodivergent sensory hell for me to do anything that involved moving my arms much

Anticipate not wanting to cook at all. Its gonna be really tricky and annoying to do anything if you've got drains. Portion any milk/juice out of the jug into smaller bottles before surgery bc a gallon jug is the typical limit of what youre allowed to lift. Frozen dinners may be your best friend

You can use silken tofu to basically make protein pudding if you mix it with the right stuff. Protein shakes (my brother and I drink premier protein, its not fantastic but its not bad. I like vanilla he likes choc). Tofu in general. Cheese curds. Nuts/nut bars

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

gee I wonder why more cosplayers don’t start learning how to make their own costumes as a default when decent fabrics in the USA cost like $15/yd and yet you can buy a crappy but wearable sweatshop version of most popular characters for like $50-70 on amazon dot com

Bolaire is SO cunty I love him
#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart

digital drawing of Bolaire from critical role campaign 4. He is leaning forward in a theatrical bow, wild curly hair swept back and wearing a long cape and white mask.
The illustration is in shades of muted red, and cream with black lineart. He is depicted on a background of an arch with a 4 pointed star at the top and decorative art-nouveau style at the bottom spelling out the name Bolaire Lathalia.

My Tamagotchi is now 800 days old! 💪🦈

I am so close to reach my goal, just 200 days to go, this feels unreal!

Keeping a Tamagotchi alive this long is such an experience.

A photo of my Tamagotchi Uni with my current tamagotchi, Shykutchi, being 800 days old (800 years old for him)

At the bottom, an illustration of my old Shykutchi, wearing a hat and having a rainbow behind him.

He looks happy and pleased, smiling.

He also have a long beard and eyebrows.

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

I tried to become minimalist but I discovered my personality is primarily composed of small, unnecessary decorative items and vague regrets.
