Y’all.

To my utter surprise and joy, i have reached 1000 followers.

Anyway. I feel I should commemorate it or something. So.

I shall do a give-away!

Who wants a free quilt?!

Everyone. Everyone wants a free quilt.

I am even gonna pay shipping (yes even to the states) for you. This will be 100% free to you, you will not have to pay a dime.

How do you enter?

Everyone who reblogs this post will get one entry into the draw.

(Multiple reblogs is still only one entry, sorry 😂)

You don’t even have to be following me.

On August 20, 2026 I will turn off reblogs and put everyone’s names into the draw to pick someone. I’ll DM whoever gets drawn for option selection and shipping details.

Once that’s happened, I will turn the reblogs back on (just so people can keep sharing) and post the winner’s tumblr. If the winner doesn’t want to be perceived, I can just post which quilt was picked.

If, for some reason, I cannot get a hold of the winner after 24 hours, or they decide they don’t want it after all, I will do a second draw and try to contact that person.

Since everyone has a different tastes, I’ve decided to offer up a choice of quilts for the winner to pick from.

Option 1 is a 77”x103” queen size quilt made with a bright floral on a pastel dot background. It also has a soft and thick backing, making the quilt heavy and warm.

Option 2 is a 74”x94” skinny queen quilt in dramatic halloween colours and sugar skulls. The vibrant purple backing is beautiful!

Option 3 is a 89”x89” queen size rainbow stars on black background with a gorgeous teal backing. One of my favourites of all time, honestly.

Option 4 is a 84”x100” queen size space themed quilt with a royal blue backing and gold quilting.

Option 5 is a 85”x92” queen size red and gold chandelier quilt with a fun dark red/orange/pink backing.

Good luck everyone!

ooc: I have finished fanart I’ve done! Everyone… please witness Clara in a deviculum!

she is such a cutie patootie and after how sad she was at not being with her soulmates when they went to the deviculum… I just had to make this!

I think AzzAzz would have picked the outfit for her… after all he is the one most knowledgeable with this high society stuff!

I need people to understand my old woman yuri vision.

Sayume Tachibana (1892-1970), ‘Jealousy’, 1923 Source “To Western eyes, it may seem that Sayume has something of a typical gothic sensibility. His subject matter includes ghosts, water sprites, shape-shifting fox ladies, “hell courtesans,” and tragic stories of lost love, murder, and suicide. However, his career, which spanned the Taisho and early Showa Periods, came well before more conventional gothic influences reached Japan; so his art represents a truly authentic Japanese sense of the macabre and mysterious. Sayume is a semi-tragic figure. His introspective and otherworldly art emerged at a time when Japan was moving towards militarism and modernism. Although this means his art now has a poignant atmosphere of ghostly nostalgia, at the time it meant he could not enjoy all the success his talent merited. Also, a great many of his works were destroyed in the great fire that followed the Tokyo Earthquake of 1923, while others were destroyed in the War.” (Source)

It's Small Business Saturday! Go check these out!!

Are there small businesses you recommend for business casual shirts and pants?

I have no clue about the world of dressing properly for work..

Maybe someone around here will have suggestions so I will reblog & leave it to the people

I think morning witch is great for that. Fun print button downs and linen pants, for example! I cant speak for the other shops, except Witch Vamp- I think a lot of their skirts would also work!

Recommend Crowlines (which is already in the original answer) for fun button ups, esp the subtle pride themed ones. I have two Sulkypup https://sulkypup.com/ shirts as well too :)

Have received great customer service from both - quick replies that were understanding w/ my concerns. Def worth a buy if you can.

anyone know a shop that does long sleeved t-shirts?

From my shop at least, it's because the printing process for those beautiful skirts requires synthetic fabric

And then about being sold out, well for me and a lot of other artists/small brands it's that we can't afford to order that much at a time. If something does well it might go fast, and then it might be a while before I can order more. I rely on preorders a lot to both fund ordering inventory and to judge how much to order of what. The best way to be sure you can get any given design is to lock it in when preorders are open!

i think it only now hit me just how insane the cave of 10 000 gods is.

and no, not from a "it's weird to spend 800 years carving 10 000 statues of a dude who doesn't even know you exist" angle, but from the SHEER SCALE?????

10 000. in 800 years. that's 100 statues every 8 years. and we're talking life-sized, incredibly lifelike and accurate statues. (for the most part. in the later years especially)

to put it in perspective, carving a statue like that out of marble takes, on average, several weeks or even months to create. for ONE statue.

if we add all recorded and attributed sculptures, and i mean all of them, Michelangelo created 60 sculptures over a period of SEVENTY THREE YEARS. that's, on average, 0,82 sculptures done per year. this goes down DRASTICALLY if we only count the confirmed sculptures since there's only 45 of those.

Hua Cheng's average per year is TWELVE AND A HALF.

TO REITERATE: HUA CHENG WAS, EVERY 8 YEARS, CARVING MORE THAN TWICE THE AMMOUNT OF STATUES MICHELANGELO WAS CONFIRMED TO HAVE MADE OVER THE COURSE OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

and! that's not even all! because he was carving the statues OUT OF A VOLCANO. that means either a) shitty, porous rocks that crack like glass, or b) rocks like granite

granite has a hardness between 6-7. marble? 3-4

that's not even mentioning the GIGANTIC FUCKING STATUE he made INSIDE THE LITERAL VOLCANO

i can't remember, was there light in the Kiln??? or was he just carving it in complete goddamn darkness, entirely by touch?? for something on a scale that CAN RIVAL AN ENTIRE CITY??????

and he carved that, out of the goddamn volcano, in TWO YEARS, while undergoing some sort of trial in there.

which is a theme that continues, because Hua Cheng was keeping pace with that 12,5 average for 800 years while:

fucking hell what kind of meth was he on and where can i get some??? like i get it he's a ghost, he doesn't need to sleep or eat so he does have more hours in a day but to get SO MUCH done??? at this point i'm convinced he had to have had clones running around for at least SOME of those tasks because how the fuck do you have the time for all of that while churning out beautifully carved, life-sized statues faster than a goddamned shein factory

I mean now that you mention it
