Things I thought would happen post-PhD: - more time for friends, family, myself - more energy for everything - more sleep Things that did happen: - less energy and time, more exhaustion - the feeling of having no purpose Well. 😒 #phdlife #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Love the advice about publishing your PhD thesis, because German Academia does not give you the time to rework your thesis before you submit a proposal. It gives you one year to get a contract/to publish and that's it. (also: no 'Dr.' beforehand) #phdlife #AcademicChatter

Our department sent an e-mail saying that "a cockroach was spotted" and asked to inform them "if we see any animals". Well, if they're asking like that... what is going to stop me from sending them random pictures of animals I see from my office window? #AcademicTwitter

Tell me that you're working in Academia with the winter term about to start without telling me you work in Academia with the winter term about to start. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

An academic is only as good as their supportive parents, asking uplifting questions like: - What do you study again? - What do you mean they don't pay you to publish? - How will you keep busy over the summer holidays? - Do you know how much more your sister makes?

...and with too much time on my hands I have drawn more #CormoranStrike fanart. Again. (Heavily inspired by this quote: "Six minutes later, in a clean shirt, smelling of toothpaste and deodorant but still unshaven, Strike entered the outer office […].")

What could be more fitting on March, 29th than #CormoranStrike (tired for good reasons) and #RobinEllacott (in The Green Dress, definitely going to remember that day)? #fanart

The romantic subplots in the Strike novels a nutshell. (See, I'm still using all the video skills I taught myself in 2020 and promptly forgot.) #CormoranStrike #CBStrike #fanvid

Started drawing this fanart while having a pint at The Flying Horse. Finished it today (neither with a pint, nor in London, bit of a letdown). (Heavily inspired by bearded!Strike and all those visits to various pubs in the #CormoranStrike novels.)

In absolutely patient anticipation of #TheHallmarkedMan and due to an endlessly long train ride - two new, extremely rough Strike and Robin sketches. (I’m sure I’ll get a consistent style down at some point…) #CormoranStrike #Fanart

Colour and light study inspired by this quote: "Strike descended the stairs, and had placed his hands on her upper arms and pulled her towards him […]." (Yeah, no, totally alright after reading #TheHallmarkedMan – not haunted by it. Such a good and such a tough book.)

"#CormoranStrike had the high, bulging forehead, broad nose and thick brows of a young Beethoven who had taken to boxing […]. His thick curly hair, springy as carpet, had ensured that his many youthful nicknames had included ‘Pubehead’." pre-Cuckoo's Calling Strike.
