Elf enjoyer, fountain pen & ink dork, loves shouting and fantasy novels and shouting about fantasy novels. Sometimes I post pictures of my ridiculous dogs. Pretty sure my Axolotl is actually Ursula Vernon’s. She/her. Shiny. High strung.

Go on. Do it, open the fairy door.
You'll be fine.
That mad fairy queen can't treat you worse than your boss already does, and at least being her mortal plaything would be interesting.

So I took history’s greatest monster in to the vet for his unsightly armpit rash (exacerbated by Ceres thinking he smells DELICIOUS and licking him until his rash looks like raw liver) and now my boy need Apoquel and antibiotics for two weeks, his poops will be egregious

I got some Platinum Chou Kuro and I am dithering over what nib to try it on. I’ve used Platinum Carbon Black in all manner of nibs both gold and steel without mishap so I’m not sure why I’m getting so anxious about Chou Kuro.
YOLO, ima put it in a Pilot Prera and a Jinhao Shark and start scribblin

the main reason i find fantasy lacking as a genre is that there is exactly one fantasy plot worth telling and we already got to it with Tolkien and it is "satan ran across the icy tundra, pursued by the giant spider who wanted to eat all his diamonds"
Lamps! Trees! Spiders! In the new SHELVED BY GENRE we continue to read THE SILMARILLION, learning so so so so so much about Elves while still engaging in our patented style of lighthearted but thoughtful engagement with the fundamental questions of a text. rangedtouch.com/2026/09/25/t...

Today I recommended Julian May’s Pliocene Exile for a time travel rec request in the r/romantasy subreddit
(I’m not THE DEVIL, I did caution it’s not a romance with an HEA or a main couple, I’m just saying several commenters would probably pick up Aiken or Marc’s vibes and go ham)

You absolutely do not have to hand it to Rudyard Kipling under any circumstances but this entire ritual kind of slaps
so today I learned that Canadian engineers take a sacred oath written by Rudyard Kipling which is *clearly* worded to bind them as defenders against the fae.

Just do what you can, while you can, where you are, with what you have. All possible worlds are made of that. If you want a better timeline, congratulations! You can get there one step at a time, from here.
And, with deep condolences, that’s all we get, and we have to do it together where possible.
