Have you been accused of being a "BOOKWORM"?📚🪱
Maybe because you love the smell of books or have a "To Be Read" shelf stacked dangerously high?
But *actual bookworms* are a thing.
Let's talk about insect damage in libraries & one of the oldest book protection systems in existence.
Saw some people sharing their video game choices, and thought it'd be fun to make. Don't take too seriously, I'm bad at boiling down to just 1 choice.
Will people go blind from bad tub batches, just like the ole prohibition days?
I can finally share this #fireemblemfates Hinoka Childhood fanfic in full: archiveofourown.org/works/82525941 Written last year for @fefateszine.bsky.social I had a lot of fun working in some of my more obscure theories about Hoshido and its queens.
The fic in question featuring cry-baby girly girl kid!Hinoka, has finally been post: archiveofourown.org/works/82525941

I can finally post a sneak peek of a Hinoka POV childhood story I worked on start of this year. It's a pre-game fic for "Fate, Refracted" a FE14 Anniversary fanzine @fefateszine.bsky.social ! Big thanks to @ahlatoad.bsky.social for the lovely illustrations~ #FireEmblem #FEFates #FEHinoka #fanzine
Was a surprise ship, in that I didn't expect to come out of playing FE10 and thinking "Tibarn totally flirted with Elincia."
Lewyn's got potential! And I find playing with different ships in FE4 each time, very fun mechanically (and then I can noodle on how the ships might work out)
FE14 Xander/Hinoka
FE10 Tibarn/Elincia
FE3H Felix/Ingrid/Sylvain
Probably the ships best known with me through my fics (though FE4 Lewyn/Tailtiu, FE14 Leo/Niles and Leo/Flora would also be big ones)
To future-proof my book contract (better safe than sorry), I added an AI clause that says AI tools of any kind cannot be used in the review or preparation of my book (also no genAI art can be used for cover, etc)
Very grateful to @slstalter.bsky.social for example from her most recent contract.
The Change implement lasted 1 day. The Staff reversed it. I'm impressed cause users have pitched fits in the past, but I guess, this one must've been extra loud (change: breaking reblog chains)
Chart analyzing Clip Studio paint prices by version.
Table detailing the steps one should take when they'd like to upgrade from one version to the next, including all PRO and EX prices.
Confused about CSP prices? You're supposed to be!
Upgrading step by step can be either way cheaper or way more expensive than buying the newest version outright. My advice: don't buy PRO (its low-cost bait to trick you into spending more later). If you want to upgrade, here's the cheapest options:
A friend of mine wrote a fanfic where Dew constantly says Lex is Lester's dad, but Lester insists his father is someone else- I feel like the META of Lester's face is just to good not ot poke fun at, lol: archiveofourown.org/works/827812...
I'll be forever entertained at how the many FE4 mangas all went with different ships for the supporting cast. Like such a grab bag, but reinforces how the freedom of choice makes a big impact on fans (also that biggest Shipping fallout around Nana's father, literally big enough Devs noticed)
I definitely had canon smack my headcanons into the garbage (hi Dragon Age). But some of the Hopes things...feel wrong to me. A lot of their dad-takes land there (like Bergliez having a Major Crest directly contradicts the Hanneman/Seteth support). So I personally treat it as a secondary source.
3 Hopes takes on unfaced but named NPCs...went directly what I'd imagined from what 3 Houses gave us. Expecting some Lucius Malfoy vibes with Gloucester and nope. Dimitri's uncle Rufus in Hopes, ruins any "feel bad about death" possibility. Gautier is ??? as Hopes reveals Miklan disowns himself.
Aw, this looks rad! Thanks for putting him in the fit :)

Apologies for the slight delay on our Feb. 7th goal, but we now have our books! Shipping will take place over this week and next. If you still need to change your address please email us at: fates10years [@] gmail [dot] com.
Nintendo recently added Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to NSO Classics, which gives new and returning fans a great chance to experience a classic FE game without getting into its high/rare prices on the GameCube... It's a really good one too. 🔥

a bunch of drawn diagrams of hand stretches. the text at the top reads MAKE TIME TO STRETCH! it shows wrist extensions and flexions, with the arm straight out and hand palm out with the hand gently stretched up and down. the same stretches with the hand in a fist. the same stretch but with the palm against a wall. a stretch of pressing your palms together with wrists parallel to the ground and slowly lowering the heels of the palms. and a gentle shaking out of the hands.
since this will always be circulating, i might as well be the first one to put it here: the stretch tips i made many years ago… remember to stop and stretch and take care of your hands! be mindful of your work time & listen to your body.
Continuing with the Lehran sketches, here are two OCs! Frija for @superdeluxe.bsky.social and Agnar for @dameceles.bsky.social ! Thank you for voting Lehran!
I agreed, I wish Gloucester and Gautier had stayed different flavors of scummy. The Adrestia dads not as much of a glow up, but still feel not as scummy (boo)
LotusPrince on youtube has done all the Resident Evils, I think. Even the weird/not-ported ones like Outbreak: youtu.be/bIMlnZBmPjY?...
He's got a nice voice, for listening to imo.
And last CYL additions of: Sephiran, Lehran, and Nasir. Was a Tellius heavy ballot but got some Jugdrals too.
