formless and void. she/her. 24.

the 1980s nuclear family (based on firsthand accounts of people who lived through it):

  • bipolar mom with severe untreated PPD
  • workaholic & alcoholic dad
  • eldest son who is a 15 year old binge drinker who has been employed since he was 13
  • middle child sister who got really into church to avoid being at home, will be a pregnant housewife by age 19 despite being the most promising member of the family
  • sensitive little brother with a stealing habit
  • divorced Vietnam vet uncle who sleeps in a tent in the yard
  • chain smoking grandma who might have killed her last two husbands
  • dog that somebody dumped down the street that lives there now (best dog ever)

If nobody ever explained this to you, if someone you see a lot does something you like and you never ever tell them that, they might think you don’t like them or don’t like the things they do for you.

If you like your sister’s cooking and have never ever told her that, she may very well think that you hate her cooking. If you like it when your friend drives you places and you never ever thank them, they might think you’re not grateful even if you are. If you like it when your partner does this or that thing for you they won’t know that unless you tell them.

Tell people in your life hey thanks for driving me, that was a great dinner, I like your singing, thanks for helping me with that. They don’t automatically know that you appreciate what they do.

Harrow The Ninth -mock dust cover

With the river in blue and with blood variations. I wanted to have some crossover from my gtn cover, making things partially destroyed , like the side flaps. As well as having the sword in the same position, Gideons presence is still there! Even if she, herself, is not 🥲

Next up will be Nona's cover!

And more closeups under the cut

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

I don’t follow sports at all but once in a while I like watching athletes give interviews because nine times out of ten they are really bad at it and have clearly had no training in public speaking.

You watch actors or politicians or leaders of organizations or science or history professors give interviews or do promotions, they know what to do. They’ve learned through training or personal experience how to make facial expressions, make their tone of voice more interesting, keep up the appearance of eye contact, enunciate, move their hands around, etc.

Athletes though? That’s the closest to a “just some guy” interview you’re gonna get. You watch promotions by football players and they’re like *flattest voice you’ve ever heard* let’s play ball. *stiffly holds out football to camera* and I love it deeply. I think somebody should give these poor guys some media training but at the same time please don’t because I love watching them sit stiffly in front of reporters like a block of wood and not know how to answer questions.

Yeah man like I’ve got actor training and teacher training and I would also probably just say “sports ball good” or something under those circumstances and these guys have zero interview or camera skills.
