Upright is hope, inspiration, creativity, calm, contentment, renewal, serenity, spirituality, healing and positivity.

Reversed is hopelessness, despair, focusing on the negative, lack of faith, inspiration and creativity, boredom and monotony.

Congratulations for becoming the Tenth boss of the Novana Famiglia, Aleccio Raucci.

Aleccio is @deathsvvitch 's oc (thank u for letting me do the Arcana art 🫶)

I made these two in Soul Calibur then watched Kale beat the shit out of him twice in a row

what things are they bad at? in what position do they sleep? who is the best at comforting them when down? are they good at comforting someone ill? for Kalt, Fuyu, Frostbite, Roma, Ale, and Winters!

What things they are bad at?

Psst. I’m going to tell you a secret. Don’t tell Kalt this but never, ever let Kalt cook. He just cooks it until it’s edible, that’s it.

Fuyu cant play an musical instrument for his life. He found a flute as a kid when he was scavenging for something to eat or sell for money, he tried playing it but it sounded horrid. He still has the flute but never played it in a while.

Frostbite is incredibly bad at making jokes. There either incredibly cringy or not even funny at all. Don’t ask him for a joke please... I beg of you!

Roma thinks she’s a good gardener but in reality, if she had to give a dollar to someone every time she killed or treated a plant badly that someone will be a millionaire.

When you think of someone that’s undercover in the Coolers Armoured Squadron. You think that they are good mentors of discipline but no... not Ale. Ale is literally too kind to even hurt a fly let alone just telling someone that they’re doing something wrong.

Decorating of their room and/or house is the interior designers job. Winters think that she can put her own zazz (not a work but whatever...) into it and she thinks it’s nice and welcoming. It not...

In what position do they sleep in?

Kalt sleeps in a foetal position so the tiny assassin can be in even smaller places. Lol

Fuyu is definitely a hugger type of foetal. It can be a pillow or someone else (*Coughs* Xue *Coughs*)

Frostbite is most likely a ‘spooning’ type of sleeper. Holds onto something to sleep. If he has a partner, He’s the one on the back end, not the front.

Roma... she’s the worst type of sleepers. On the back and spreads legs and arms around and kinda makes a mess of the bed...

Ale is stomach sleeper and puts both hands under the pillow and for some reason doesn’t drool... slug boi is weird lol.

Winters is also foetal and a clinger. She can’t sleep in another way as well or no sleep at all.

Who’s the best comforting them when down?

Kalt is rarely feeling down at all of his life. The rare times he is to be honest myself. I don’t really know. Either a secret love of his life or a therapist lol.

Xue and/or Trunks. Trunks helped Fuyu from his hard life as a child and Xue is Fuyu’s love of his life. Words from a loving person is a good way to calm Fuyu in though times.

Frostbite when down usually tries to power through it by himself which doesn’t really work out well for him. When he does reach out it’s always a family member or a lover.

When Roma is down she always went to her mother for help. Roma’s mother helped her with everything. Her mom’s death tragic and Roma had secretly never got any help... long story short, she doesn’t really have anyone to help her...

For the longest time Ale just always asked The Armoured Squadron members for help, mostly Salza for help.

Winters immediately goes to her family. First thing. Period.

Are they good at comforting someone ill?

Kalt? Pfft! Don’t really on this assassin to comfort someone unless you breakdown that assassin shell from him.

Fuyu is will die for someone so he’ll try his best to comfort someone.

Frostbite mastered the concept of comforting someone. He adopted two kids. He knows what’s best.

Roma is a mixed bag. If her comforting works then it WORKS and if it doesn’t... well she kinda makes the situation slightly worse...

Ale is such a kind slug. He shows that when trying to help someone but if his kindness doesn’t do the trick then Ale get stumped.

Winters is the exact same as ale but 10x as kinder and 10x as shyer so... yeah.

I'm. high as shit and all I can think about is a cuddle pile with all the cod men but. I'm laying on top of each of them. yea.

Im done.

In a recent interwiew with Dany from The Warning for PRS guitar, Kanami shares that in the same day she both practice and compose for about 3.5 hour each!

Screaming, crying, throwing up, kill me now

We’re snowed-in here in Baltimore, and it’s making me miss warmer weather, green things, flora...

So here is a beer label I designed and illustrated for Union Craft Brewing’s special spring-time saison that they crafted exclusively for Atomic Books in Hampden. A wonderful pairing of comics “for mutated minds” and a light, fruity ale.

I've always wanted to illustrate beer and wine labels and this was a really fun way to dip my toe in. I hope I get the chance to do more!
