SPACEEEEEEEE! here's my art for Eureka's sci fi at DEFA set. painted halftones, layered up! a tribute to the vintage movie posters of the films inside. (i love drawing space and rockets!) #art #scifi

Painted this tonight :)

you had my curiosity but now you have my attention

oh that sounds right up our street, will hunt it out

I reckon the real trick is ignore the books and go straight to the adverts in old comics. meta have cornered the nonce glasses market but pretty sure you could make a packet right now selling idk AI Sea Monkeys or something like that

Blind buy Warhammer boxes is just such a straight up scummy practice

People writing books and/or RPG adventures, what’s the nerdiest, most pointless bit of research you’ve done in the name of worldbuilding that you very probably didn’t need to do & no one else cared about? I just found my old notes with all the phases of the moon & tides in Northern England in 1566

I'm pretty sure on an old laptop here somewhere is a v rough draft of an erotic novel I started when 50 Shades was a big thing and having flicked through it I was horrified by how bad it was and how much money it was making thankfully that will never, ever, ever see the light of day

Anyway I have binders of this shit here, and this here crappy thread is the closest any of it has ever got to being used meanwhile my wife has read about a dozen, at least, novels over the past few years that all cover this stuff (just with added fairy fucking and the accompanying huge sales)

and gets back to why I was looking up moons and tides, as to enter the country and smuggle that changeling in they had sailed a boat along the reflection cast by the moon upon the North Sea, a silver path that cut through Merlin's enchantment etc etc.

oh yes, that's the key thing, 1000 years or so before Merlin had cast his 'girdle' around the land after the disastrous civil war between Arthur and his half fae son Mordred. this was a spell designed to close all the doors between our land and theirs etc etc.

what else, ah yes Elizabeth was of fairy/witch blood, see why she wore vast amounts of makeup in her later life, this came from her mother's side as part of another fairy plot to return to england which obviously there were lots of historical rumours about

loads more stuff came up that was great, the missing ten days of 1582 when the pope had the calendar changed (and the lost days were sold to the fae) all sorts of stuff about the medieval Feast of Fools, and days of misrule
