Gives me chills every time.


It’s Pharaoh season again!

Pharaoh is high on my list of favourite things on the internet. It’s an original novel set in Ancient Egypt chronicling the maneuvers of the very ambitious and none-too-loving royal family as individual members try to stabilize the throne in a way that best serves their interests. The setting is beautifully detailed and accurately realized, and the characters are fascinating shades of grey rather than straight good/evil.

Updates are slow, and come only in the summer, but there’s a huge backlog of chapters to read through. It’s worth it if you have any interest in Ancient Egypt.

I’m oddly pleased that my friends think of me when they see knights fighting giant snails.

That Awkward Moment When…

…your housemate comes home from an anime convention a day earlier than you expected (he gave you of the wrong return date) carrying a GIANT ASS RAPIER which he then proceeds to swing in your direction.

Ohmygod. I actually applauded.
The line this comic references is kind of a big deal for me, for those of you who’ve forgotten.

There’s a certain irony in a pirate rp run by rules/posting nazi…

Picked this up at the grocery store today, since it looks like it contains a lot of the information I need. Having flipped through it, I think this magazine’s only goal is to show me so many adorable baby dogs that my ovaries explode.

Picture of Radhana I was working on last night when I was “too headache-y” to do homework (still managed to meet friends for coffee and dessert, though).
Radhi appears here maybe two or three years older than usual, because I’m not so familiar with adolescent anatomy and image searching “twelve year old girl” felt creepy. With her is her dog, and Anwar’s, because of course she keeps an eye on it when he’s not around. I enjoy that she is in casual wear (for a princess), having a quiet moment, leaning against (I imagine) a palace wall and looking like the dancer she is.
