Anyway, I decided to include a question option. I still communicate through the online translator, but I want to communicate with fandom people. I have no idea how this works or what to make of it (●__●)

I think I should repost this post with a lovely parallel to the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. I love it ♥️

And I have something to say about the Persephone myth - certain similarities are there, but far fewer than sjm probably intended. The funny thing is that if we equate Demeter and Tamlin, that comparison plays in Tamlin's favor. A creature who has had her dearest and most beloved thing on this earth stolen from her? Who has been searching the earth for years for his daughter/bride? Who in his pain and sorrow is wreaking uncontrollable havoc? And who loses this battle one way or another because Hades is a cunning bastard who tricked Persephone into feeding her pomegranate seeds. And if Rhys is Hades... bro, that doesn't play in your favor.

(Actually, tamsand fans should go to this chat room.)

Orpheus…

So I know SJM intended the story between Tamlin, Feyre, and Rhysand to parallel the Hades and Persephone myth but honestly, it kind of reminds me of Orpheus. Here me out…

Orpheus is the son of a muse and blessed by Apollo. He’s basically a bard. Tamlin is an expert fiddle player and highly skilled at poetry, particularly dirty limericks.

Eurydice is Orpheus’s bride who is cornered by a Saytr and then bitten by a viper on her wedding day, causing her to be taken to the underworld. Feyre is put into a desperate situation while UtM and is branded by Rhysand, who could be considered a snake for the way he coerced her into the deal. Feyre is also taken to the Night Court on her wedding day.

Orpheus does what he can to save Eurydice from the underworld so they can be together. He ultimately fails and loses her forever. Tamlin desperately tries to save Feyre from the Night Court, ultimately failing and loses her forever. Eurydice was never the same from being in the Underwold. Feyre was never the same from being in the Night Court.

In the end, both couples were never meant to last…

Like sure, Feyre and Rhysand have the return once a month thing similar to how Persephone is in the underworld for half the year, but Feyre is no Persephone in my opinion.

Actually… if we’re being literal, Tamlin would be Persephone to Rhysand’s Hades because Tamlin is the High Lord of Spring and Persephone is the Goddess of Spring and Tamsand sure does have this whole Romeo and Juliet vibes going on, tragedy and all. But that’s another discussion lmao

The sitcom ACOTAR … what episode is it?

I need to draw a lot more memes get ready

[dedolubka]

The sitcom ACOTAR is back in business

[dedolubka]

I've been listening to the King Arthur: Legend of the Sword soundtrack for the second day now and the picture just came to me

Technically this is the original but I'll still put fandom tags

[dedolubka]

Fresh buns (･ω･)☞ ( . || . )

Lucien was supposed to have a sword, but I had such a day drawing it....

And yes, less clothes for Tamlin!

Among other things, I think men with wings should wear clothes with an open back. It's practical!

[dedolubka]

I think I'm going to continue drawing the ACOTAR sitcom series. It's fun (•ˇ‿ˇ•)

I can't beat this fandom, so I'm going to top it!

[dedolubka]

I torture the blonde man instead of working on Tamlin week entries.

I always thought it was fun that Tamlin's shapeshifting sometimes hurts him (like when his claws shoot out and cut him). This is me dialing that up by 50x.

Boys + bows = 😍

[dedolubka]

Happy New Year! 🎊✨ I finally finished reading tome 1 of ACOTAR and I loved it! 😍 As promised, here’s a sketch of Lucien 😌🦊🍁

On my way to reading tome 2! (No spoilers pls! 🤫)

.

« A Court of Thorns And Roses » and its characters belong to Sarah J. Maas.

Oh, isn’t it terrible?

Did it make you hysterical?…

What wip bro!? I’m done with this bitch!

Band of Exiles

Oddly enough, the costumes for these guys were the easiest to deal with. They live in the mortal lands, so they dress in the fashion of the mortals of this country (???? Geez someone tell me what the piece of Prythian where the mortals live is called? Is it a country? What??????) khem… So… We all know Lucien is the most fashionable fashionista, so he looked at his friends, grabbed his heart and made them both change into decent clothes!

[dedolubka]

Due to the fact that this blog seems to have completely become a blog about ACOTAR (I'll have to put up with that for a while) I'm thinking of reworking my concepts for Tamlin's healing arc. I'm having a hard time drawing a long detailed comic - too many events. I have thoughts of doing text sketches for the story and art sketches for the chapters, but the problem is that English is not my first language (It makes me a little embarrassed to be interacting on this blog). I'm confused, I don't want to give up on this story, but I've made it too long….(*/_＼) Can you give me your thoughts on this? I'd appreciate it! And while I'm thinking about it, here's some art

[dedolubka]

I can't win this fandom war, so I'm loading the gun with humour

This is what I wanted to see at ACOMAF. If I didn't get it in the books, I'll damn well do it myself.

By the way, have you noticed that very few people in this fandom pay attention to OT3? That's very unfair.

[dedolubka]

That's roughly how I saw the characters in ACOTAR, the only book I still like. I thought a lot about what historical period to stick to and what to base the costumes on (I'm probably a nerd, don't judge me), and while with Tamlin I settled on 15th-16th century British Isles, Feyre's costume is 18th-19th century European fashion (men's\urban in this case), and Rhys's costume is 15th century Ottoman Empire. I'm not claiming historical accuracy, just clarifying where I'm drawing inspiration from (*ﾉωﾉ)

[dedolubka]

I've started another series of art on ACOTAR….. will I finish it? ... Let's leave that question unanswered (°_°)

[dedolubka]

I've been thinking - instead of being mad at sjm, I can come up with alternative developments because I'm pretty good at it. For example:

What if Nesta goes to the lands of mortal and becomes one of the Band of Exiles?

Just think about it… IC tosses Nesta out into the human world to scare her and put the squeeze on her, but she finds Lucien. She charges Lucien for the fact that it's his fault she got into the Cauldron (from Nesta's point of view, the entire Spring Court is to blame). Lucien is at a loss, he has no idea what to do, but Jurian intervenes. Jurian KNOWS what it's like to be dragged through the Cauldron. Jurian is a grown and serious man, with a bit of a dork in his head for his own charm. I'd even say he could be a mentor to Nesta, in a way, but also the sort of father figure she's been missing.

+

Add to this the optional ship with Lucien, because a lonely she-wolf + cunning fox-boy is a great combination; or the heat of passion with Vassa and the conflict over the fact that Vassa genuinely thinks Archeron's father is a good man (after all, she recognises that a good man and a good parent are not the same thing).

+

Fuck IC by the way, let Nesta take care of people since Feyre doesn't do that

+

Jurian, my love, teach baby Nesta how to kick balls
