Things I've enjoyed in the month of December:

Mark Lawrence nailing it:
.............................................

Niru gracing us with all the fan arts:
 Jude
(The Cruel Prince)
 Cardan
(The Cruel Prince)

Cardan
(The Cruel Prince)
Feyre
(A Court of Thorns and Roses)
Manon
(Throne of Glass)

.............................................

The Young Poisoner's Handbook:
I've always loved this little monster of a movie.

.............................................

Tim Von Rueden's studies of Billy in Ken Loach's, Kes:
This is so lovely.
It kind of hurts?

.............................................

Wordage:
Just yesterday I informed my cat he was a galumphing twat.
He did this at me:
And proceeded to bury his face in his arse.
...
I think I should take it personally?

.............................................

Speaking of the galumphing twat:
The level of elegance is bewildering.
My favourite part?
The T-Rex paws.
Glorious.

.............................................

Kelsey Smith's take on Kiki's Room:
I'm done.
I'm slayed.
Slew?
Whatever, this is the shit right here.
And there are prints.
Here and here.

.............................................

A forgotten Pom Poko moment:
 How could I forget this?
What kind of moron am I?

.............................................

rip bambi's line art:
Fair warning, this is a fairly tame example of her work, the rest is pretty damn explicit with a high focus on sex/fetishism/body horror.
So, if you fancy a look, maybe do it in private? Because this shit is most definitely NSFW.
...
And I love it.
In the midst of all this Tumblr censoring bullshit, I am living for all the taboo artists.
You're beautiful. Please keep shocking my eyeballs.
And to Tumblr and all the purity culture fuckwits?
To you, I say:

.............................................

This tweet that doesn't actually exist anymore because the author accidentally deleted all her tweets but it still exists here and it's too good not to show, so... :

.............................................

This furry little nugget:
The detaaaaaaiiilllssssss.
Oh, the details.

.............................................

Gris:
What is this?
Games aren't meant to be a whole goddamned experience are they?
I want to play this.
And I can't play games for shit.
But I want to play it.
It's so beautiful...
That style.
That score.
(which I need by the way. I need it)
I could watch her run for days:
.............................................

Jeffrey Alan Love:

.............................................

Pinterest lured me into a clickbait Potter quiz and these are my results:
Really?
Really?!
I'm half a manipulative old twat and half an embittered child hater?
Wtf, quiz?
That's just mean.

.............................................

December skies:
Gotta love whatever atmospheric science shit is going down here.

.............................................

The first images from Netflix's Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance:
I'm not sure how I feel about the look of this but...
... the cast is bonkers:
Look at all those glorious faces.
This could be really goddamned good.

.............................................

Cynthia Frenette's expletive homeware:

.............................................

Finishing the Harry Potter series:
Finally.
I made this last years.
Actual years.
And I don't regret it.
Especially now.
It felt like a balm to all the wounds Rowling's inflicting on us.
Y'know, the loyal fucking fans who don't deserve this offensive, often nonsensical bullshittery.
Reading The Deathly Hallows reminded me that yes, I do love these books - to the point of being mildly embarrassing (I might need want a wand...) - and yes, it has flaws but fuck it, I love this world, I love these characters, I love losing my brain inside these words and fuck Rowling for trying to spoil that.
Fuck her hard.

.............................................

Grace Draven teasing me with cover reveals and no confirmed publishing dates:
 Cruel, wicked woman.


.............................................

Abigail Larson destroying me with Krampus-based cuteness: 
The couple who murders together, stays together.

.............................................

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri:
This is outstanding.
Frances McDormand is outstanding.
Woody Harrelson is outstanding.
Sam Rockwell is out-fucking-standing.
If I wasn't outright euphoric over The Shape of Water's Oscar win, I'd be pissed this didn't snag Best Picture.
It's that goddamn good.

.............................................

Katarzyna Ulvar Bekus and my soft ice boys:

.............................................

Toast pillow:
The siblings got me this for Christmas.
Probably in part to shut me up about it.
And I'm not even sorry, this is the softest fucking thing I own and it heats up.
...
Consider me blissed the fuck out.

.............................................

Jay Kristoff making excellent use of the old school bunny emoticon:
 
This year I will start reading the Nevernight Chronicle series.
I will.
I will, I will, I will.

.............................................

Schitt's Creek Christmas Special:
I love the Roses.
I love them so very much.
And season 5 is coming to Netflix in May?

I knowwwww and I have no platform to play it on.
Curse my lack of gaming interest and non-existent skill.
