    I just finished A Civil Campaign, the first Lois McMaster Bujold book I've read. I enjoyed it immensely. Probably going to read The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard next.

    These videos came out a couple months ago. I neglected to share them then, which is appalling, as these are probably my favorite videos of Grey's* and the subject matter is one of my obsessions right up my wheelhouse.

     

    *Well, after "Someone Dead Ruined My Life...Again." That video is pure gold.

      And now I've watched the State Flag one and that was awesome.

      Which is your favorite?

  3. Slowswift
    yesssss Bookstores sometimes carry them; thrift stores too. There's still a few music stores hanging on. I've gotten most of mine online, though.
  4. Slowswift
    Still do, and I still use them.

    "What's your favorite country song, Slowswift?" asked no one.

    "Love Ain't by the Eli Young Band," I told you anyways.

    Happy Independence Day!

    A R I Z O N A, annoying formatting of their name notwithstanding, is probably one of my favorite bands. I discovered them after they did a song with Avicii, and I've been hooked ever since. Anyways, they had a new album out last month and it's a banger.

    Might do another one off the album tomorrow!

    The pen is a Karas Vertex, and the ink is Graf von Faber-Castell Garnet Red. Here's a link to the song.

      They're in the same universe, so what're the underlying rules for magic in that world...?

      Coco is extraordinarily colorful, but I can't decide if its colorfulness matches that of Tangled, or if it just seems more colorful because so much of the action happens at night, in the Land of the Dead, where all of the bright colors are emphasized by contrast to the blacks and grays of the background. Tangled, by comparison, takes place mostly during the day, so all of the colors in the world are bright and clear. 

      But even with that said, I feel like the comparison is kind of moot because both movies are colorful in different ways, and equally a feast for the eyes. And they're both colorful movies with extremely dark stories, told with fast pacing and quick jokes. For the kids!

      @The Bookwyrm Excellent question! I don't know if they've thought that through, honestly. It seems like it's quite a soft magic system.

      @TwiLyghtSansSparkles Good points. (I've been meaning to rewatch Princess and the Frog again too, which is another one of these.)

    I would've posted this yesterday (being exhausted will do that to you), but did you know Juneteenth has a flag?

      Not what I expected, but it's nice.

      Isn't it? The official version I think has a date, which *angry vexillologist noises*, but overall I like it a lot.

  14. Slowswift

    I'm having waaaaay too much fun with this. 

    So this is the flag of Mapleton, UT, which--despite indisputable proof that it exists, having seen it in person--I couldn't find anything about online save a single blurry photo and a short description. This irritated me, so I pulled a Thanos and did it myself.

    It's not totally faithful to the real thing (again, no photos online) but it's got the essence of it.

      brb going to convince Reddit that Mapleton UT is an urban legend

      You're not that far off, actually. If it weren't for the fact that I'd seen the flag myself, I'm not sure I'd believe Mapleton existed either. :P 

  15. Slowswift

    "Flag of the Autumn Empire" or "Flag of Canada if they were obsessed with a different tree"? 

    You decide.

      The little acorn mittens are so cute though

      Aren't they? Whoever I stole this from uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons did a good job.

      I should clarify that I meant the oak leaf asset--the flag as a whole I put together myself.

    The Spider-verse movies are peak Western animation, and I will brook no argument on this matter.

      That's good to hear. Is the first one required viewing?

    3. TwiLyghtSansSparkles

      TwiLyghtSansSparkles

      Nope. I never watched the first one, but I had no trouble understanding what was going on in the second. It includes at least one character from the first, but she's reintroduced pretty efficiently and her relevant history with Puss is explained, so there's no need to go back and see what you missed. The story that's told is self-contained enough that there might not even be much need to watch any of the original Shrek movies, come to think of it.

      Good!

    I really want Tress to be a Ghibli movie now.
  18. Slowswift
    Now I match one of my favorite pens!
  19. Slowswift
    Yeah, I'll probably do that. I did find out that there's a Pelikan Hub in SLC, but I missed registration by this much.
  20. Slowswift
    I keep hearing mixed reviews of SAO, but overall it seems to be considered one of the classics. Noted!
  21. Slowswift
    Thank you! I'm not sure if there's any groups near me. Guess I should find out. ETA: There are none near me, unfortunately. I'll have to try online.
  22. Slowswift
    Sounds like it's a solid choice, then. Onto the list it goes! Also, how do you recommend rehoming inks? I really don't want to just write off a dozen bottles, but I can't imagine the market's that good for a used ink, is it?
  23. Slowswift
    I imagine that kind of thing takes a while to process, regardless of knowing how to feel. If you've got someone to talk it out with, that might help. Good luck!
  24. Slowswift

    This is my new favorite thing.

  25. Slowswift
    I've been trying to hold back on inks, and even thinking of getting rid of some (which seems like a nightmare, honestly), but this is making me think of picking up a bottle of Writer's Blood. I love the ink I've been using in my L2K thus far, J. Herbin Poussière de Lune, but I think the pen could benefit from a more lubricated ink. We'll see.
