Snerk!

!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so lovely! Wow!

So Schaudwen suggested I read The Song Unsung by khaleesian and I had some doubts but like with most things Thorki I have fallen in love with it.

This is from one of my favorite scenes; protective Thor is hilarious.

Everyone go read it! It’s one of the best fics in the fandom, hands down.

Korean artist Yong Ho Ji makes amazing sculptures out of used tires.

This was on display at the Fairmont Bab al Bahr right here in Abu Dhabi...the coolest thing is that it is 'life size' for a Minotaur...about 8 feet tall. 

I was in India. Maybe this year. :)

Going from writing Viking fic to writing Norse mythos fic is like making the move from smoking a little weed every week to shooting up heroin every day. Vikings, man. It's a gateway drug.

It’s alright, I don’t mind.

Would follow

this book on norwegian folklore i’ve been reading just makes me want to make a sideblog exclusively for translations of folk legends and pictures of foggy forests

i should probably resist the temptation to do this…..

Penultimate chapter is always the best chapter, IMHO.

Also it becomes very necessary to have read the first story: the Song Unsung.  

so much truth

Tumblr has this ongoing obsession/love affair with this breed, but as a professional dog trainer and general animal lover, seeing the number of people who enthusiastically declare their desire to own one makes me cringe. I’m not comfortable enabling or reinforcing any of the...

OMG, this kills me....so insightful & subtle & cool!

I lie — I totally had a rush of inspiration today for more fic ebook covers. The first set can be found here. I reposted the two covers I did earlier, as I changed one of them.

Don’t delete the text below please, as it contains attribution.

Sources:

The changeling; or, Charles Xavier (a Novel by a Lady): Images taken from Clker and subsequently modified. Some of you saw an earlier version I posted on Twitter — I’m much more pleased with this one.

A Conspiracy of Ravens. The X-Men Phoenix symbol was nabbed off this forum thread and then modified, while the crown is from Clker.

Nine Eleven Ten. Feather from Clker.

Queen’s Gambit. I decided to keep the cover of Boden’s Mate so as to preserve continuity. I did change the chesspiece to a queen, from the same set on Clker as that of the bishop.

The Waking of the Red King. The coin is a black and white copy of the Czech Prague New Town gold coin, featuring Charles IV.

the western shore: I made a cover for the first story in the series, so why not the sequel? :D Again, I used images from Clker. The axe may not be accurate for the time period and/or culture. I’ve since changed this slightly.

These covers are free to use — no need to attribute me.
