Toll
one big index finger
the rest slowly dripping off
decending in placement and size
dreams touching the outer
paper layer of the regular
owl circling the apartment
a feather falling like a joke
that somebody died
there are a bunch of souls
that can't cross the river
'cause they ain't got toll
swallow all your gold …

YCH Showcase - October 2024 by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
YCH Showcase - October 2024
YCH artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities. With each stroke of their pencil or brush, they sketch a scene, a moment, a pose that invites you to envision your character within it. It's not merely a commission; it's a collaborative journey where you and the artist co-author an unforgettable experience for your character.
Welcome to this monthly feature where we spotlight the exceptional talents of YCH artists and their inspired creations. We invite you to immerse yourself in the imaginative worlds they've crafted for characters like yours. And, who knows? You might just discover a space for your own character to shine within their art!
's prolific gallery showcases a diverse mix of expressive and dynamic YCH poses, often centered around fantasy themes. Her art style blends soft, eye-catching shading with playful and elegant details that bring her creations to life.

Fan Art Friday: Blue Eye Samurai by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
Fan Art Friday: Blue Eye Samurai
Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix is a visually striking animated series with a gripping storyline, unique characters, and powerful themes like identity, honour, and vengeance.
Set in Edo-era Japan, the eponymous blue-eyed samurai, Mizu, embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance. In a society that values purity and conformity above all else, the mixed-race Mizu is an outcast, experiencing deep-rooted prejudice and abuse at every turn. Demonised by society, Mizu's insatiable need for revenge against those responsible for her origin begins to threaten her very humanity.
This week's Fan Art Friday feature pays tribute to Mizu's unforgettable journey - her strength, determination, and vulnerability - with some amazing fan art created by the community.
An artist gives all they have to the art, the whole. Your strengths and deficiencies, your loves and shames. Perhaps the people you collected. - The Swordfather
If one god forsakes you, another one will help you.

Fan Art Friday: Haunted Mansion
“Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your ghost host. Kindly step all the way in please, and make room for everyone. There’s no turning back now."
The Haunted Mansion is a Disney theme park attraction featuring a haunted mansion with 999 happy haunts (but there's always room for one more, any volunteers??)! This dark ride attraction has several locations (with some differences to each one): Haunted Mansion in Disneyland California, Tokyo Disneyland, and Magic Kingdom in Florida, as well as two spin-offs Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris and Mystic Manor in Hong Kong Disneyland. It's also inspired two Disney live-action movies The Haunted Mansion (2003) starring Eddie Murphy and Haunted Mansion (2023) starring LaKeith Stanfield, as well as a Muppets Halloween special: Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021).
It's a theme park attraction that has so many spooky legends and lore behind it, as well as plenty of room for haunting fan-made backstories. Its personally
