boy, did this one take a while!! whenever i got very stuck on a part, i made myself close the file and go do another study to get over the wall, so this was done on and off over a few weeks. the timelapse for this one is long, and inelegant, but if i just showed you the stuff that came together in a 'pretty' way i'd be doing the both of us a disservice

there's a part very near the end of the timelapse where it looks like nothing is happening. it is, it's just very zoomed in. i hand drew the marquis outlines on the shards

Let Nightmare be sultry and horrific. He is so vampire coded just let it happen!

My art hasn't really been satisfying me and i think maybe im in an art block funk, but I got this silly little thing done.

Backgrounds still arent my thing and I think the whole thing looks lazy, but oh well. My head hurts too much to think on it all that much so enjoy :]

[crow-n-tell]

I just experienced something so insane I don’t think anyone I tell will believe it

*deep sigh*

Wtf is happening.

Guys, I am a mother, but I am not your mother. If you have personal questions regarding your sexual health, periods, etc, go ask the female figure in your personal life for advice or a doctor. Not some random stranger online.

Night falls, I’m cast beneath her spell Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell Am I left to burn And burn eternally? She’s a mystery to me

fuckign obsessed with sabigiyu... sabito's tough and snarky and brash when hes around people but then see him with giyuu and hes the biggest fucking puppy... constantly touching and being affectionate whenever he can, harshly stopping/snapping at anyone who tries to badmouth giyuu or even looks at him wrong, always glancing back when hes talking looking for giyuu's attention and recognition- he so freely displays his love and its just so sickeningly sweet to anyone around as witness

giyuu's a youngest child too, you know he'd eat that shit up. he fucking loves how much sabito spoils him- the occasional time sabito tries to be stern or ignores him all he has to do is bat his eyes and raise the corners of his mouth and sabito near immediately caves to whatever he wants. anything to see giyuu's full smile, and giyuu never hesitates with him

they know exactly what the other wants at a given moment, know when to be soft and sweet or when to be rough and wild- quietly sitting together close enough for their thighs to touch and enjoying the warmth of eachother's presence to playfully pushing buttons until the other snaps and gives their full attention to grappling the other to the ground. they'd both stop at the drop of a dime for the other for whatever reason needed, lovingly teasing and calling the other an idiot the whole way out

Happy birthday, Jean Millington! (b. May 25, 1949)

"How we were able to survive through all that - prejudice and skepticism - and how [Fanny] were able to establish that women can really play...I'm really proud of that, and I know that's a legacy that we have. I didn't [realize that] for the longest time, especially when we were going through it, because you're just focusing on surviving and doing the right thing." (x)

[violetvisionss]

we won't let nothing hold us back

We're puttin' ourselves together

We're polishing up our act, well

And if you've ever been held down before

I know you refuse to be held down any more

it’s kind of wild that you don’t realize how depressed you were until you start feeling better

Cornelia Funke Q&A - 08.05.23

Finally, another one of these. Here are some interesting bits.

The Color of Revenge

Q: Why did Cornelia decided to write another Inkworld story after all this time?

A: She wrote a short story about Orpheus and the Inkworld came rushing back to her immediately (probably because she never really left, she says, as the Mirrorworld and the Inkworld are the same and she'd been writing Reckless). She thought about how Orpheus would definitely want revenge and there was something to explore there. At the same time, her focus shifted towards illustration and pictures rather than words. For a while she had begun to distrust (her own) words, which only changed when she wrote The Labyrinth of the Faun.

Cornelia hopes the TCoR script will be finished in June

The people who host the stream met the head of Cornelia's publisher, who recognized them due to the cover debacle. She showed them the final cover and seemed quite happy with it

During a conversation about queer representation, Cornelia says that she doesn't want to include queer characters just for brownie points as that feels very disrespectful. She has always written her characters as the story called for it and will continue to do so and that of course includes queer characters, who are all close to her heart - and there is, in fact, one in TCoR

Q: What about the release date/release date of the English version?

A: If everything goes according to plan, the German version will be published this autumn. England and America will take longer, Cornelia guesses it will be another year for TCoR to be published in English. Her daughter will translate this time, which Cornelia is excited about. She's been told that her English voice is quite different from how she writes in German and thinks that with this book, that gap will shrink significantly (since her daughter is so familiar with her style)

Reckless

Bad news regarding the TV show: apparently The Rings of Power and the Game of Thrones sequel were such a disaster that nobody wants to touch a fantasy script right now. Cornelia remains optimistic though - she will finish the book series and maybe then something will come of it. Adapting a finished series is easier, anyway

Misc.

Cornelia's granddaughter's name is Lyra Emilia after Lyra from His Dark Materials. Cornelia has been drawing and painting pictures for her

The Donkeys she left behind in America have learned a few tricks and are very happy with her former neighbour

The Green Kingdom is out and the reactions so far have been delightful: Cornelia mentions letters from 20somethings who feel reminded of their grandparents' gardens and children who feel less nervous about moving cities after reading the book. She also clarifies that the blind girl's father writes the letters for her since she apparently accidentally edited that detail out of the finished story and some people were confused
