SHOCKING: InTheLittleWood has decided to give up being a Security Officer and become a Roofer!? ❔ #subject

I #assert this

Why are you so
#vindictive?

You left me on that
deserted #island.
Now #percolate
in memories
of your losses

On an #Island of Dreams, hers is just too much.

"Magic's the wrong #subject for girls," they #assert, laughing. "Why not try sewing?"

Years later she returns, bringing with her #bewitching power from the velvety darkness.

They shouldn't have laughed.

Marooned by an asteroid's strange gravity! It was my own desert #island in space. Now time is a sad #blur. Yet I am no one's #subject, no one #asserts power over me. It's just me and the stars. I find relief. But when I open my eyes, who is that falling from the sky?

Being Chief Conjurer of Croatoan, Texas, is like being a big dog pestered by little dogs trying to #assert their dominance: sure, you could crush them like the chihuahuas they are, but the people to whom you are #subject might have to put you down, and nobody wants that.

Too Particular?

A reader #asserted on Threads:
An author shouldn’t “smell,”
That this distracts her from a scene
Otherwise written well.

Re: this #subject, I must confess:
I haven’t got a clue
If I stop near some #roses, now,
What I’m supposed to DO?

Subject matter lay
Inert, as each side tries to
Assert dominance.

This makes a good #subject

A #drawing if done in unconventional colour can evoke a different response in the viewer - that's the theory anyway!

Here's my model in Prussian blue ( #pencil no 246, paper multi media)

I drew this viewing her slightly from above & she in turn appears looking down

There's still that smile!

Something different - not just the head but the neck/stand as well

Dark markings used to give a feel for curvature & shadow

I used lighter, more delicate #pencil marks here in contrast to the previous #picture

You can decide if this is more suitable for the #subject

Using a lot of pigment - #pencil sanguine shade no 188 - emphasises contrast, highlights & facial structure

Here from another angle

She's also inspired works by Rilke, Nabokov, & Man Ray

My 15 year old asked me a curious, but desperate question today - Which core subjects he can choose for his school leaving certificate other than Maths and English that can help him to get into any professional course that can lead him to an AI immune career? Please share your thoughts.
