comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

Critters have given a million different reasons as to why we should or shouldn't kill the gods (myself included lol), but for me, it ultimately comes down to the fact that they're my blorbos and I love them. My fucked up little guys.

As a hardcore Corellon Larethian fan from the moment I read the deity’s canon 5e lore, I admit to have always been disappointed by how underrated they are.

Corellon is prideful, egotistic, cocky, simultaneously the deity with domains of Magic, Music, Arts, Crafts, Warfare, Poetry, Trickery and Knowledge. Their battles with Grumsh and his ex-wife Lolth are legendary. They have an organization called “Fellowship of the Forgotten Flower” which just realm hops to recover elven relics.

Seeing their representation in CR Downfall brings me so much joy! I understand that the Exandrian version of Corellon has differences with the canon 5e version of the Elven Prime Deity, but honestly just seeing them on my screen fills me with joy.

Abubakar does such an incredible job! I hope my elven prime deity daddy (genderfluid) starts getting more recognition now!

There’s a bunch of right-wing people posting memes about “”DOGE”” making the government more efficient by removing funding from “”dumb bug researchers”” and I am now realizing how little the average person knows about entomology and its importance

Excuse me while I get sad .

there's an angel (insect) and a devil('s coach horse beetle) on each shoulder

thinking of opening a small shop next year... these would be a set of 2 stickers :>

We must protect them

who’s sexier than the Arch Heart NO ONE

Random idea flew into my brain and obviously i had to draw it. What do you think they did.
