we need to bring back anon kink memes in a big way. no one is horny enough anymore. the other night i found a fic on an old kink meme from 2009 that was so well-written and also so raunchy and foul (affectionate) it could have stripped paint off my car. there is something about truly unapologetic filth that can be transcendent and tender and marrow deep and maybe if we all leaned into being anonymous depraved little weirdos again we'd learn how to have more fun.

Winter theme 3 - Winter walk

I know winter will always be a difficult time for Persephone. But I wanted to portray new beginnings with Grace.

Highlighting this one for the stray gods brainrot

[hornkerling]

I'm still waiting to hear the examination results for the thesis, which is driving me bonkers, but I've been trying to art more in between work because haven't had the brain to write or progress in baldur's gate. Lots of India ink marker fumbling lately, following tutorials. Bonus Pearl-cat.

[hornkerling]

Been sitting on this idea for a while BUT I need the extra cash so figured I'd throw this out there just in case there's any interest. Feel free to spread the word, every little bit helps! :)

I am finally able to post my piece for wonderful Dragon Age zine! So there is my Lace Harding

[hornkerling]

I did it.

Persephone lets herself into an empty apartment, furnished with pastel ghosts and sky for a ceiling.  It’s her building, after all. The key is an ordinary landlord outrage, blood warm in her fist. She hasn’t used it since—well. Since ever. Since giving Calliope its twin, because if she wasn’t staying at the Club she needed something, somewhere. Holding it now feels like a crime. 

...I have my actual doctorate due for submission in an actual bloody week and Stray Gods has enough of a hold on me that I had to write this anyway. Think of it as a preview for...at least the next 6 months?

@ohohsomething continues to make my words much better than thry would otherwise be. Thank you so much!

Some drawings comms for the 4th chapter of Home to Lotus Pier, a fantastic Jiang Yanli centered fic by @hornkerling where she gets to !!! This chapter covers a delightful range of emotions~

Chapter 5 is out too now!! Please go read!!!

[hornkerling]

This fic has been keeping me sane during a pretty sad time and T's art is honestly the best part. Thank you again!

I am genuinely proud of a few lines in this latest chapter. Trying to get into Jiang Cheng's head was wild.

Collection of art commissioned by @hornkerling for her fantastic story Home to Lotus Pier, in which Wei Wuxian dies an even less timely death, leaving Jiang Yanli and company to pick up the pieces.

Here is some art for chapter two and three (brand new chapter!!), in which Mianmian meets Jiang Yanli after some rather eventful times, and in which Jiang Cheng gets to pet bunnies, respectively.

Please go read to experience a full range of emotions and beautiful words!!!

[hornkerling]

That's me. Writing some pain. But it wouldn't be the same without your art, T, thank you!

Sketch commissions for hornkerling’s absolutely wonderful, amazing, hear-wrenching fanfic Home to Lotus Pier, in which Wei Wuxian dies an even less timely death, leaving Jiang Yanli and company to pick up the pieces.

Please go read the story for its beautiful prose and emotions, and to cry, but especially for badass sect leader Jiang Yanli!!!!

(The third image is a preview of the second chapter of the story, in which a young Mianmian daydreams and in which there is no pain at all (lies).)

and here's the rest of the art for Sunshowers and @mxtxfemslash minibang. How does the smooching happen? Why are Yushi Huang and Ling Wen fighting in the rain? Why are there radishes?

You can read to find out.

I had the absolute pleasure to work with amazing writer @hornkerling​ and beta reader bastet for @mxtxfemslash​ !!!

Please please please go read Sunshowers. It is a beautiful Ling Wen/Yushi Huang story, told in a beautifully poetic style, and just overall an amazing read.

Bonus picture you need to read for context for and close up shots below the cut!!

Keep reading

“Yushi Huang,” someone says. “That’s Yushi Huang—”

“—Yushi’s Queen, and right at the last minute—”

“—The Princess who—

“—slit her throat, just like that —”

“ —The new Rain Master?”

“—Let me see. Let me see .”

Ling Wen does not see Lord Rain Master often, which is good, because when she does, she thinks of all sorts of things that make her ache.

(Or, the one where Yushi Huang gets a girlfriend and new shoes).
