It could line up. It's so close, like a mm. It could.

But it doesn't.

Aaaaaaaarg.

Mine used to do that, but these days he just sits on the floor by the bed and screams for a solid 20 minutes before my alarm goes off. To ensure his breakfast is not produced even a single moment late. Then does this so I can't stay mad at him.

Been getting back on my art flex again. Currently working on some doodles to put together into a colouring book
A line art drawing depicting a deer appearing to dance while wreathed in fire and smoke, in front of a cluster of silver birch trees A line art drawing depicting a hare crouched on the grass. It looks up to watch three other hares that have leapt into the sky and now spin in place around a central point marked by their entangled paws A line art drawing depicting a severed hares leg stuck in a bear trap, with a cluster of dandelions sprouting out of it like a bloody bouquet A line art drawing depicting a wild boar fleeing from archers. The boar is unknowingly passing through a fallen standing stone arch, spilling blood onto the crumbled stones, and is transformed as it passes through. In the background are several silver birch trees.

Have a cosy weekend Looshkin enjoying a sunbeam
A handsome, elderly cat with rich, shiny black fur is laying curled in a sunbeam with his front paws either side of his face. His black fur looks a warm, reddish chocolate brown with the sunlight glowing through it, and you can see how thick and shiny and soft it is. There is a tiny little rainbow shining on the carpet near his face, from the way the light has refracted through the window.

Found Mike a shawl for festival garb that suits him shockingly well. As does my hat, which I fear may well get pinched by him next time he goes on his travels if I don't get him his own.
A short king with his long hair pulled back into a pony tail looks at the camera with the hazy facial expression of a lightweight who unexpectedly had more than 2 pints in a single night. He has a blonde goatee and side burns. He is wearing a black hat with green embroidery on the underside of the rim and it suits his face shape very well. He is also wearing a large, soft shawl with a geometric woven pattern in gold, green and blue, draped around his body and shoulders. The shawl also suits him well. He looks very pretty. And 30 minutes after the photo was taken is going to be pinned under the photographer to demonstrate to him just how much they appreciate hits prettiness.

We had a washing machine delivered a few days ago. It came in a massive box that almost fills the front room. Unfortunately, we can absolutely never take the box down because the boy has never experienced joy like this in his life and won't let us even move it
A handsome, elderly black cat with glossy fur is curled up, peacefully asleep, on top of a large box. His paws are curled in towards his chest and his little nose is looking incredibly kissable A close up image of a handsome, elderly black cat sleeping on a box. His little nose and forehead are in the centre of the screen and he looks sweet and blissful in his nap. Behind him is a large cabinet stuffed full of embroidery threads The sweet, elderly black cat from the previous two photos has slightly moved position and is now sleeping, still on top of the box, in a more tightly curled position. His nose and eyes are tucked under his fluffy tail got warmth, do only his ears and forehead are visible.

Another London speaking event this week. I don't want to go posting photos of the actual events on here because I want to keep my professional self separate from my trash goblin self. But I thought my look was pretty great for it so want to show it off
A person with green, partially-shaved hair and round teal glasses looks at the camera. They are sat on a train, looking less-than-enthused about the commute. A person with partially shaved green hair strands in front of a mirror taking a selfie. They are wearing a black star print dress and a long waistcoat, with blue star print tights. They are leaning on a walking stick.

My local queer bookshop has a solidarity wall. When making a purchase, you can add to it and the extra money becomes a voucher another patron can use, no questions asked.

Since the supreme court ruling here in the UK, customers have been adding hundreds to it in a show of quiet local solidarity.
A "reader solidarity fund" board at a bookshop, covered in vouchers for customers to use towards their purchase. It has a lot of donations on it.

When the light hits his fur just right, he glows a rich, deep chocolatey amber colour.

Sunbathing time for Looshkin. He's an indoor cat, but we have an enclosed little garden space that he'll sometimes join me in. When he was younger, it was a good space for some supervised outdoor play, but these days he mostly just wants to curl up in a sunbeam

In honour of looshkin's 22nd birthday, please enjoy this assortment of recent Moments With The Old Man
A sleepy Looshkin has his face buried in his little paws Looshkin, an elderly black cat, begins devouring a large "birthday cake" made from various cat treats, surrounded by his most precious toys Looshkin continues devouring his birthday cake, showing no signs of slowing down at he makes his way through an impressive amount of food Looshkin is an elderly black cat, driving in front of his food bowl and surrounded by his toys. With most of the food eaten, Looshkin pauses to lick the gravy off his whiskers and take a well earned ball

It's tradition now that whenever we take our clothes to the launderette instead of doing them at home, Looshkin has to inspect the sacks of hot, clean laundry after. It seems today's load passed inspection

I've decided to give gouache another shot. This time I made an attempt at underpainting and actually took my time instead of rushing through it, and I feel way better about this than previous attempts

I checked the website of the church, they have nothing on today. And that crimson skintight fit with the heels didn't smack me as particularly Catholic

Happy #Imbolc folks! Some friends kindly hosted a gathering so I had time to get completely carried away baking for it.
A tray of freshly baked, lavender and earl grey shortbread. A container filled with ausuke, which are deep fried knots of puffy, tender dough covered in sugar. A tray of two dozen meringue on a silicon baking sheet, waiting to go into the oven. A fat queer person with blue hair, wearing glasses,a hat with fern embroidery, and a black denim jacket covered in pins.

Entering my crone era and adjusting to my first pairs of reading glasses. In hindsight, surprised it took until I slid past the 40 threshold given how much of my life is spent on computers or with my nose in a book.
A fat, round-faced queer person with curly, unkempt blue hair in an overgrown mohawk looks at the camera. They are wearing reading glasses with blueish silver frames that only cover the top half of the glasses.

Some random little snips from The Narcissist Cookbook's MYTH

The Narcissist Cookbook's latest album, MYTH, is available to purchase as a cassette tape. The "Fairytales of St Sasha" are woven throughout each song with gorgeous warped sound reminiscent of old worn cassettes and I am enjoying it so, so much

Another #GoblinWeek doodle. This time featuring some teenage gobbos... Gently explaining to their buddy that even goblin hygiene has some standards

For day 2 of #GoblinWeek I decided to go with a half-faerie wee gobbo who was quite a reckless little tearaway in her youth, but these days mostly just scavenges for useful buttons and lost socks and things.
An elderly goblin woman smiling with a gap-toothed grin. One ear has been cut, and both have hair growing out of them. She has a warty, wrinkled face that Terry Pratchett would describe as "like a happy apple" and cute little hooves. She's wearing draped and tired clothes and a shawl with a large button, and an old sock for a hat. You can just see a set of old insect wings peeking out under her cloak, giving away her faerie heritage.

It's day 1 of #GoblinWeek and this little fella doesn't seem interested in sharing the snackytreat he found...
A hunched goblin is eating parts of an unidentified insect, while looking at the viewer with an unfriendly expression. He wears a bent tin can as a hat and is draped in tightly bundled rags that conceal most of his body. His cheeks bulge from the bug he's snacking on, which is held in a clenched fist, and one eye is tightly closed. He has some animal features, such as a cat nose and rabbits feet, but not in a cute way. He looks like the kind of tiny creature that would viciously bite if approached.

Holy fucking fuck BLeeM
Brennan Lee Mulligan is staring intensely at the viewer while looking fucking incredible. He has coiffed hair sitting high on his head and a carefully groomed beard. Brennan is wearing ornate elf ear jewellery with hanging beads and chains, and a gold necklace with what looks like a large shark tooth pendant. His makeup focuses on heavy eye liner, and he is baring his teeth in a snarl. He is wearing ornate clothing in brown and blue colours with a plumbing neckline that is laced with thin gold chains. The words "dungeons and drag queens" are visible in caption below.
