💕 Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of eachother 🐎

Waylon and Rose for my comic, Wayward, that I'll be working on for release in July ✨

[lucybellwood]

A slew of goodies headed off to the Wayward Retreats team tomorrow morning! These items will be included in blind box rewards to say thank you to folks who support our Kickstarter (running until November 30th). The team is primarily raising funds to replenish the scholarship fund for creators of color, which has been amply utilized these last few years. (Hooray!)

I've been involved with Wayward as a retreater and returning facilitator since 2019 and I wanna see this community thrive!!! The whole experience feels like the perfect intersection of my interests and proclivities as an artist.

Also I just wanna applaud them for picking the best photo for my facilitator bio.

"Eyy, you wanna buy a flowah crown?"

Anyway, if you're interested in participating in a future retreat, read on for info about Wayward:

Wayward is a creative retreat for artists of all marginalized genders set on Quadra Island, BC. Free from cell phones and internet, the artists at Wayward have the quiet time and space they need to dig deep into their art, experiment, explore, and hone their craft. We welcome nonbinary folks, transgender folks, and cisgender women from a range of artistic backgrounds with the aim of creating a safer space for connection with self, other artists, and the work. Our artists come back from Wayward revitalized, often with important inroads made into new, experimental avenues in their work. In this way, Wayward fulfills its mission of helping artists advance their art and process in service of a more harmonious world.

In addition to solo work time, Wayward creates space for collaboration and adventure. Retreaters create an interconnected group piece over the course of the retreat week. Optional workshops and excursions into the wild are offered for those who need a break from their work. Morning movement class helps retreaters wake to the day in a gentle way. Daily meals are prepared by the hosts and retreaters together, often with greens from the house’s garden, oysters from the nearby beach, or other local ingredients. 

Check out the retreat website here and keep an eye out for future applications! And thanks to @sawdustbear for their stellar work on this campaign.

My FoeTP (Foe True Pair, is that a thing? I randomly thought of it and it’s not meant romantically at all) is Aang and Azula. Not as ultimate showdown good vs. evil. But as two younger siblings with attachment issues fighting over their older sibling.

I just really like writing them petty fighting over Zuko. It makes me smile.

Jeremiah 3:22 (NLT) - “My wayward children,” says the LORD, “come back to Me, and I will heal your wayward hearts.”

“Yes, we’re coming,” the people reply, “for You are the LORD our God.

Wayward is on a holiday break starting today.

Updates will resume early to mid-January, so keep your eyes peeled!

I also want to say thank you to anyone and everyone who has checked out Wayward so far. I hope you've enjoyed it so far and will continue journeying with me as we go along!

not to witherward post in 2025 but it is really funny that ollivan’s secondary motivation for rigging the election and overturning his exile was because as soon as he had time to calm down he realised ‘ok maybe i overreacted a bit by setting up a ticking timebomb designed to frame my situationship for domestic terrorism’ and that two wrongs won’t make a right etc etc and then day one he gets back home hears his ex has been trying to chat up his little sister and immediately tries to break into his house. Which btw has been booby trapped because his ex predicted that the first thing ollivan would do is break into his house. Ok sure whatever you two GET A ROOM!!!

Random song I've had on me for the longest time.

Not sure if this should get lyrics or just stay as an instrumental. It could use a bass part and some kind of percussion as well (bongos mayhamps?).

It's like if Yes used open A tuning or something.

Mail Call (The Palace)

My dear sister,

Are you alright?

Azula,

How is your training? You must be a master by now. The youngest in history.

Princess Azula,

You’ll tell Lo and Li if Father hurts you, right? They value you more than Father. They might

Azula never received a letter from her brother. What she did get were presents, in packages that were unsigned save for the royal seal. They might have been from Father, but Father would not send her a Water Tribe bone knife accented with the blue of her fire. He wouldn’t send her a set of three necklaces that fit together in a triad knot, clearly two were intended for Ty Lee and Mai. And only Dum-Dum would send her a package of moldy leaves. (She bet it had been tea when he packed it.) Tea was the only thing she missed about her useless, fat Uncle. She wondered if the tea had been meant for her or him.

He never sent her letters. And that made sense. Zuko had always been better with actions than words. But it was still annoying. What was she supposed to glean from a knife? (It was Water Tribe, was it from the North or South? Had the ship been attacked or was it from a market?) What did the necklace mean? (Was he worried she'd lose Ty Lee and Mai without him to smooth hurt feelings? Did he think they would leave her, like he did? Or did he just see it and think of them?)

Would it kill him to include a letter?!

But he never did. Packages continued to come. Prayer beads from a Temple in colors that weren’t worn any longer (she’d have preferred one of the Air Army’s weapons), an Earth Kingdom music box that played a tinkling tune that sounded vaguely like the Dark Water Spirit’s theme in Love Amongst the Dragons. (The Dark Water Spirit was her and her brother’s favorite character, but the Earth Kingdom had absolutely mangled the melody.) Azula kept the bone knife tucked in her boot. She stuffed the beads in the music box and the music box with her jewelry.

She gave the necklaces to Mai and Ty Lee, keeping the other wrapped around the bone knife.

When Zuko sent her shoes that would have fit when he left and were tight enough to blister now, she set a certain general on fire.

Completely on accident. Of course.

Sneak Peek for Wayward, Mail Call.

First post of the year!!! And it’s a late self indulgent valentines drawing it’s already February holy shit time flies. (Please klick on the first image to see it in it’s proper quality)

(ID in alt text and under cut)

[ID:

Two images.

A digital drawing of Arthur from red shoes and my oc Edda (A pale chubby woman, with deep eyebags, brown hair and grey eyes), specifically villain Edda (who’s dressed in a dark red coat with a hood, dark baggy pants and boots, and has a dark shadow over the top of her face). They are both inside a cave, Arthur is lounging on the ground looking slightly scuffed up, while Edda is leaning over him. She’s frowning at him, appearing stern and somewhat concerned, her dagger gripped in one hand, but is also blushing and holding the side of Arthur’s face. Arthur in turn is smiling up at her, blushing as well as he touches two of his fingers to her cheek. A squiggly white heart is drawn between their faces, as light shines down on them from behind Arthur and the surroundings are tinted pink.

The second image is a small sketched comic on paper digitally tinted pink with the title reading “Continuation of the valentines drawing”. The first part showing Arthur’s hand moving closer to Eddas face so it’s cupping her cheek, Edda looks befuddled by this (three question marks hovering over her shoulder) and is still blushing. The second part shows Edda closing her eyes, and angling her face down as she lets out a silent laugh. The third part shows her grinning down at Arthur as she points at him with her dagger, and says: “you’re a pretty weird hero aren’t you Princy?”. The fourth and final part shows Arthur, with Eddas own hand still holding his cheek, looking up at Edda as he grins back and says: “Is that a compliment?”. A small bubble next to his face shows a laughing Edda with “hah!” written in capital letters.
