bigbigtruck: by request, here's that character-appearance thingy as a text post

bigbigtruck:

derxder asked: Hi, EK. I’ve been a fan of your work for awhile now and I was wondering if you could maybe pass along some tips? I realized, recently, that I have a horrible case of same-face (when all my characters…well, have the same face. The only identifying factors about them are their…

With All Due Respect

sifu-kisu:

saint-roku-university said: For better and for worse, words to live by. Part of respect, honor, and love means protesting problems, though. Iroh loved and supported Zuko but still called him out when he was making mistakes that were harmful. It’s all about finding balance.


What I said has nothing to do with IMPOSING YOUR WILL ON THE OTHERS around you.

Love, honor and respect yourself and everyone in your sphere.


Is all I said….

Then add the other half once the first batch gets mushy. This makes it nice and spicy.  Let sit until everything is nice and syrupy, then remove from the stove and let cool.  Directions: Add ginger syrup and bitters to an Old Fashioned Glass.  Next add the rum and whiskey. Fill with cubed ice then float the Sake on top. Before drinking, give the glass a quick swirl to lightly distribute Sake. Note from the creator: I figured if Jane would drink a cocktail, it would be one of the original and manliest of cocktails, and Old-Fashion. But in the Firefly universe, American and Chinese cultures have mixed, so I felt it needed an Asian twist. This is where the ginger syrup and Sake comes in. The Bacardi 151 bumps the manliness factor of this drink up by giving a much higher alcohol content, plus the Bacardi gives an extra spicy, smokey flavor.

I drew you guys a story!

chekhovandowl:

It’s a story about how I got to realize that I am aromantic - so basically it’s a self-discovery story. That might sound kind of boring… it’s nothing exquisite. But I started doodling it, and before I knew it, I was finished! This is kind of a big deal. I hardly ever finish anything.

I don’t care if you share this or use the images. Giving me credit would be nice, but it’s more important that you please remember the main message. C:

Criticism is always welcome, as long as you’re polite and constructive.

So lovely. Perspective.
