So something a little different for you this 27th of MerMay 2026 - I drew this today in a spirit of sharing and invite you, if you've a mind to, to print it out and colour it in. Use any colours you like!
 
If you do, I'd love to see it in a reply here!
 
May be reproduced for private, non-profit use. Copyright information must remain legible please.
 
It was drawn as B6 see how you go, dunno how well it'll scale.
 
It's drawn with my favourite Rotring Art Pen.

MerMay 26th 2026
The merfolk here are bolder than those at home. But their colouration is decidedly more cryptic than I am used to, so they can be closer than one might think. I've quite often been observing groups at a distance only to become aware of individuals only metres away, observing me in turn. In this strange country, it is not lawful to harm or trap merfolk, or indeed any creature of language, so it is refreshing to see the merpeople sporting about the vessel I have chartered. No one I have spoken to yet speaks the language of the local mer, but a couple of villages west of here apparently do - and it is to these we will set sail tomorrow. Dated this 26th Day of MerMay in Good Tidings ink.

Welp. I ended up being kidnapped by a friend for a large chunk of the day, so there went all of my plans to catch up on things that I'm behind on.

I need to get up early to head into the office tomorrow, but I'm currently wide awake so we'll see how things go. My sleep schedule always gets out of whack when I have a long weekend, so I'm not going to be surprised if I end up staying up half the night, get 2-3 hours of sleep in, and then crash for a few hours after work. Maybe my body will surprise me, though.

If it does as I'm expecting it to go, at least I'll have a few hours to try to catch up on some things before I get tired enough to actually fall asleep.

Content Notes:

I hope everyone is having a lovely and Geekly Proud Glorious 25th of May and knows where their towel is. This mermaid does!
 
This is really a case of fandoms colliding, what with MerMay and Towel Day and Geek Pride and the Glorious 25th
 
With love to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett both sadly missed.

 
I never met Douglas but I did meet Sir Terry a few times, and he was a lovely, lovely fellow.
 
Anyway, appropriately enough, this beautiful ink from Diamine and it's called Icy Lavender, and is strong in its chameleon shimmer.
 
I used the Kakimori nib. I am so tired.

For the record, I've discovered that cooking hot dogs in the air fryer on 385°F for five minutes (turning them over halfway through) makes them turn out absolutely delicious.

I normally either boil them or cook them on my George Foreman grill, but I decided to experiment this weekend. It took a bit of trial and error, but the temperature and time that I mentioned above turned out to be the winner. I mainly only eat them in the summer, but it's good to know that I've found a quick and easy way of cooking the considering they're one of those foods that's filling but cheap.

Also? I dipped potato chips in melted chocolate, which was an A+ idea that I should definitely make again sometime.

Acrobatic Mer for the 24th of MerMay, posting late but never mind.

I was flat out yesterday but I did this energetic fellow yesterday before sleeping, with the other Platinum Plaisir Aura Fountain Pen I got as a cheapy. The ink is some random cartridge.

For today, the glorious 25th, I'll have to think of something...

I have read book 8 (the new one) and loved it, but I haven't posted about it for reasons of general mental overwhelm as mentioned in the last post. (There was a lot in that book!) I decided to reread the first few chapters of book 1 for the early character intros, and uhhhhh I've now reread my way through to fairly late in book 3.

Random thoughts about these early books below, including potential spoilers for the whole series here and in comments.

In no particular order )
The first half of this month was A Lot - mostly family stuff, mostly not bad stuff, just A Lot - and I kept thinking I was going to summarize things, but in the end, I was too tired, and there was too much. (Basically a number of relatives were in town, some staying with me, and I was so peopled out past a certain point that I just sort of collapsed when everyone left.)

Things are much better now! I do have in-laws to deal with this upcoming week, but I'm looking forward to having more time to be online and more mental bandwidth.

So naturally I tripped and signed up for an exchange.

Outside POV Flash. This is a flash exchange - 300 wd minimum, 1 week writing period, 1 fandom request/offer minimum. Signups close tomorrow.

Yes, this is a shameless attempt to lure in more fandom-compatible people. It's only a week! It's only 300 wds! Maybe someone might want a warm-up for IPQ, you never know ...

Other things currently ongoing - [personal profile] summerofhorrorexchange is in signups! This exchange has slightly unique rules so see post here. (I don't think I can do this one this summer, because I also have assignments in both Whumpex and IPQ, but I've really enjoyed it all the times I've done it!)

It's finally spring here, and I'm so ready. Except for the sudden but inevitable pollen.

The Shell Game. MerMay the 23rd of 2026. Nothing like so ambitious as the last one, a simple sketch with the Platinum Plaisir Aura Fountain Pen which I got as a cheapy. It's nice and and light! I hadn't used it for months but it drew first time.

So yesterday was pretty busy for me, from digging in some tubestock on the verge, taking some chairs to the skip for mum, having my sister-in-law visit. Then in the evening setting up a schedule for my smart telescope and putting it on the roof, also GMing my, coincidentally, GURPS merfolk player characters through the adventure with the giant shark, the sunken ship, and the mysterious deaths. (But not at Styles)
Before all of this I espied a nice photo of a poet acquaintance [personal profile] sovay on Dreamwidth looking particularly like a sprite of the sea, so I asked her if it was okay to MerMay her. She agreed, I found out what colours she likes, and before my GURPS game started got her fin sorted.
GMing duties over for the evening, I returned to finish the drawing. It was finished before midnight, so I sent the model a preview, and went to bed before I got a reply. Which is why you will hopefully get two drawings today, as this is a catch up post. It was drawn on the 22nd though.
I used the Kakimori nib again, as I used multiple inks in keeping with the lovely poet's likes. She's said she likes the colours, so score there!
You can check out her website if you like, appropriately, her poems are immersive and will wrap around you like the songs of beautiful prescient birds from forests of spirit memories.

Thank you to her and photographer Rob for letting me play.

I'm a little late on sharing this one, but there's still eleven days left, so there should be time for most people!

Kana Manga is back again, bringing another manga mini collection!

This bundle includes:

  • Scars, volumes 1 thru 3
  • Silence, volumes 1 thru 4
  • Space Punch, volumes 1 thru 5

  • You can get the entire bundle of manga in PDF form for only $18 USD. Unlike most other Humble Manga Bundles, this one is only available as the full set, so you cannot, for example, buy the first volume of each series for $1 USD.

    This bundle supports Book Industry Charitable Foundation, which has helped bookstore and comic book store employees and owners who encounter unexpected financial crises. The Binc Foundation works to keep book people in their homes, in their jobs, and with their families – stabilizing the brick and mortar bookstore community. With some bundles, you can pick which charity you want your donation to go to, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this one. If you scroll down on the right hand side of the Humble Bundle page, you can also find an area where you can adjust how much of your purchase goes to which organization (the charity, the publisher, and Humble Bundle, respectively), with a minimum mandatory amount to Humble Bundle as the host.

    This bundle is available for the next 11 days.
