I'm Rascal (Lin Taylor professionally). She/her. Freelance game writer and narrative designer, librarian on weekends, just a little guy. Some games: https://rascalin.itch.io/

a black and white block print of a string of lanterns. One of the lanterns is a chochin-obake, a lantern yokai with one eye and a long tongue hanging out of a tear in the lantern that forms the mouth.
a stamped image of an antlered lizard-like creature curled into a circle. (it's a dragon)
A small brown bird sits on a windowsill behind a window clouded by mesh curtains. It is turned to look over its shoulder directly into the camera, like a female character on a Marvel poster. I do not know what kind of bird this is.
A set of five different chains, woven with varied colors. From left to right: blue and silver, green and gold, silver, rainbow, and a reddish gold mix of colors. I'm looking right at it in real life and I still couldn't tell you what all those are.
a short length of woven wire, in a pattern known as Viking knit
A short band of woven brass wire. This is commonly called Viking knit. I've dug around a little and it seems like there's some historical grounding for the name but I'm still in search of examples.
A banner which reads: "Celebrating 10M users" followed by the number 304,433
A stock photo of a big red apple with "for the fairest" written across it
a grey and white cat peers out from the narrow gap between the furniture and the floor. she looks calm but with no intention of moving.
It's me -- a 33 year old Asian woman with long black hair that I didn't do anything to before taking this photo which was a mistake. I'm wearing a black workout tank top because I took this photo after working out, which was also a mistake, and glasses reflecting my spotify playlist on my monitor across from me.
Three mini lemon bread loaves on a cooling rack. Their tops are a beautiful golden brown, and have a nice lofty rise at the center (making sure your baking powder is not expired really matters).
Three planters, all shaped like the pokemon Bulbasaur. The rightmost and middle bulbasaurs are simple bulbasaur shapes, uniform in sage green color, with small succulents planted in their backs. The third is larger than the other two, and fully detailed as a bulbasaur, with red eyes and darker green splotches.
Two miniature loaves of lemon bread, one being picked up between thumb and forefinger for scale. It looks like the photo was taken in a dingy poker bar instead of a normally lit kitchen, which does not reflect reality.
an image of a steamship that looks like the titanic but I'm not confident I would recognize the titanic on sight. the text across it reads "artists are obsessed with public perception."
a grainy close-up of charlie day from the pepe silvia meme. this is what I look like.
A panel from the webcomic Barbarous by Ananth Hirsh and Yuko Ota. It features a long beat panel showing the mantel in Leeds's apartment (god I'd kill for his apartment btw). Resting on it, between a small statuette of a bull (which looks like one of the ones your grandma gives you for your zodiac year) and a houseplant is the copper helmet he wore in chapter 5; this helmet has broken horns and a really intriguing patina along the horns and edges, as though those bits were exposed to liquid in a way the other bits weren't. It's probably nothing! In the center of the panel is a small speech bubble from Leeds, speaking to himself, which reads "No more hiding."
Two panels from the comic Barbarous by Ananth Hirsh and Yuko Ota. The first shows a woman, Ruby, with long grey hair and an eyepatch backed against a table by Leeds, a large humanoid monster, who is saying "I WANT you to use me." The second panel shows a close-up of Leeds's claws digging into the wood of the table as he says "it feels GOOD." The vibes are both tense and impeccable.
An eight-year-old Rascal dressed in Mulan's training outfit holding a plush Mushu and looking frankly too cool
A screenshot of Dark Souls III. Text that in-game would read "BONFIRE LIT" instead reads "PHONE CALL MADE."
A very close up photo of the function row of a dusty keyboard. The zoom on the photo makes it look like you are looking at it through a sandstorm or some kind of time warp. On the Escape key is an origami frog, so little that not only does it fit comfortably on the key but so might three or four others of its size.
a green beer can featuring a picture of a capybara in a watermelon. the label reads "Kapibara" in English and Katakana.
a picture of Bert Sesame Street with the text "Dar I hope for a little peace?"
