“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals—sounds that say listen to this, it is important.” - Gary Provost

Reading this was so satisfying woah

So this just happened… (that’s me in the red)

and-down-we-go:

So last night a bunch of my friends and I went to Denny’s for some breakfast-for-dinner and I couldn’t decide on what I wanted, so I told the waiter “I want a lot of eggs.”

“How many eggs do you want?”
“How many can I get?”
“I mean if you get a Make Your Own Slam you can get up to 8..”
“I would like a questionable amount of eggs, please. Scrambled, so that I don’t know how many there are.”

And boy did he deliver.

The manager came out to present the eggs (because, as our waiter joked, this plate of eggs was too much of a health risk for anyone but the manager to be liable for serving me), and said “….who’s responsible for this?”

I started crying out of excitement/joy/fear (no lie. it was embarrassing)

Anyway, this heavenly plate of eggs filled the entire plate and was about an inch deep (there were 2 layers of eggs in it! with cheese in the middle!!)

The waiter kept joking “You’re not getting a box. You have to finish it! You chose this!” I tipped him 100% out of pure shame (plus he was a rad dude).

Thank you Denny’s. Thank you.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EGG ATTITUDE TO HAVE.

dennys I’m incredibly disappointed you passed up that eggs-ellent pun opportunity.

This is the eponymous Temeraire, a Chinese Celestial (or Tien Lung) who is captained by the British William Laurence. I highly recommend the series if you haven’t read it; it’s fantastic!

Temeraire and the book series/universe belongs to Naomi Novik.

This is epic. And the book series. Highly recommend both.

This is Smarag, a dragon I drew for someone at work. I decided to try a longer body shape than what I usually go for and I like the result. The blending in the wings is a bit touch and go though.

I don’t know, he looks as if he could pass for Smaug if he were red. His name, which I am aware bears superficial resemblance to the name Smaug, is derived from the Greek and Latin words for ‘emerald’, since I couldn’t come up with anything better :P

I’ve always felt this is one of the most underrated gags in the movie. When I saw it for the first time, I was the only one in the theatre to laugh, and I laughed hard. There’s something about her easy walk up the slope to the porch and being blocked by a minor, unforeseen challenge, and her solution to the problem that gets me every time.
