Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in the past three months, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you looking at a bunch of end-of-year deadlines? Feel free to share upcoming art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on. There's probably been a lot happening since it's been a while since we did this, so feel free just to give us the highlights!

Word Count: 933 words
Author's Note: This is based in part on old Tumblr RP stuff - a friend of mine from the M&L RP space really likes LSoH and this is in part inspired by that stuff! Also, because I wanted to do something lighter given my Fan Flashworks thing is kinda sad.
(PATCH NOTES: Now y'all see why I do NOT post so close to a work shift. Thank god I noticed this before I had to clock in! Title has been fixed.
Summary: Almost a full year passes since Fawful's last villainous stunt, and while he is initially stumped on what to do the following Halloween, his first adoptive parent's ghost gives him a particular idea from past the stars and beyond the moon..

Boy Scouts Handbook - First Edition

Boy Scouts Handbook - First Edition

The first edition. A hodgepodge perhaps chiefly of interest in what is included. Games. Short history and civics lessons. Discussions of wildlife and tracking. First aid. How to earn badges.

Some articles show that science has marched on from the day.

Sayings from Indians are invariably in crude English, but also invariably are to teach wise things to the boys.

I noted that in the fire section, they discussed the danger of wildfires, but didn't mention that first of all, you ensure you build your fire on bare earth. Anything burnable will carry the fire away, and roots are particularly dangerous. So, health and safety information may also be out of date.

Drawtober 2025 Prompt 31. Balls

Title: No.31 Balls

Artist:

leecetheartist
Rating: G

Content Notes: A lighter view of the guard dog of Hades. It's always the way, there are balls lying around everywhere, but which one does your typical doggo want? The one that someone else has. Fortunately in this case the serpent headed tail of the hellhound is willing the throw it for the rest of itself.

I like putting as much monster as I can - so I'm going with the descriptions of Kerberos as having the serpent headed tail, and the fur made up of snakes, I don't think it's done enough.

Various inks, including Diamine's Glacier, Bliss, Cocoa Shimmer and Sugar Snap and Robert Oster's Red Orange.

This was a great bunch of prompts and I hope that everyone else has had as much fun as me, whether drawing, viewing, or both!

Super fun Drawtober, thank you for the organisation!

Putting this out there because I’ll probably never have energy to write the full fic. by imsorrythatusernameistaken

buffy and faith's interactions, even from the very beggining, are charged with tension and a certain homoerotic undertone; by cantstandlosingyou
following the whole "slayer as a metaphor for queerness", i want to talk about faith and how we can really see all of this play out in her character and most of her arcs. by cantstandlosingyou

Drawtober 2025 Prompt 30 Mask

Title: No.30 Mask
Artist:

leecetheartist

Content Notes: I was thinking about the Owl Service by Alan Garner (not anything in the book like this), and the Welsh legend of the woman of flowers, and thinking about a masquerade and vaguely wondering whether it's a good thing or a bad thing putting on a mask sometimes...

Diamine's wonderful Grotto ink, in my wonderful Diplomat, such a lovely pen to write and draw with. I probably should have grabbed a mask as a model but I think it turned out reasonably well without any references. Also I walked 9.5 kilometres today, so I was a bit tuckered when I drew this.
