#ariel vibes

[whilereadingandwalking]

Olivia said I looked part-Belle, part-Ariel in this photo. Which is more or less the dream.

there is like, one scene I’ve had planned for PoA where Ariel gets a GLIMPSE of her future love interest and I keep thinking the next chapter will be the chapter where I can sneak it in and it never happens

This just reminds me so much of Ariel 👩‍🦰🐚🍴

Me, whenever I see poc, especially dark-skinned, characters in fantasy and/or historical period dramas depicted with dignity and respect and just simply given opportunities to have happy storylines that aren't solely fueled by trauma on the aspects of their race: Someone cooked here.

I'm not sure if y'all have addressed this already or not, so my bad if you have! I was just curious if the Lunar Boy cover was inspired at all by that one poster for the animated Disney Little Mermaid movie, with her on the rock silhouetted by the moon behind her! Or maybe just a happy coincidence? Either way, it's a very beautiful and cute cover!!

omg,,,

you're so right! The fairytale vibes of it all!! This one's a huge coincidence since for this cover we were actually pulling from an illustration by Max Prentis!

But it's funny that the final cover has a lot more in common with the Little Mermaid poster. I love that though, since Lunar Boy is very much a modern fairytale retelling and has a lot of similar themes to the Little Mermaid (one of my fav fairytales tbh).

Ohhh myyy goood I’m SCREEEAAAMMMING

You can just tell Snape isn’t fucking around by the stance and Ariel’s just 👁️👄👁️

Tom’s head 💀💀💀 I’m deceased

I think this one of my favorites so far, thank you SO MUCH for illustrating this shitshow of a scene ❤️❤️❤️

Aim and ignite - Chapter 37 -

LOOK AT THAT LITTLE PEANUT AND THE PIGTAILS (yes you can see them and yes I adore them) AND LILY HELPPPPPPPP I LOVE IT SO MUCH LKFJADLKFJDSLKF

This is GORGEOUS thank you SO MUCH - I literally went and wrapped up the chapter after seeing this so you are truly fueling me after this. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Okay so I wanted to do another drawing for my favorite, “Aim and Ignite”. This time it’s one my favorite details from the story: the charmed picture (because snape is shy about how much he loves his little family) on Sev’s desk of Lily and baby Ariel 🥹.

HERES THE PART WHERE I GET MAD THO. I DID A REALLY DETAILED DRAWING OF LILY HOLDING THE BABY AND YOU COULD SEE SO MUCH, BUT THEN I STUPIDLY DOWN SIZED IT AND THE FREAKING PROGRAM MADE IT ALL PIXILY WHEN I TRIED TO ENLARGE IT AGAIN. so I’m sorry, it’s not as detailed as it was supposed to be 😭. (Please tell me u can still see baby Ariel’s tiny pig tails, that was my favorite part teehee)

Anyway… I digress… this is for you @shostakobitchh !!!

aim and ingnite is so good you are a master a goddess a queen. On a scale from tactical nuke to the explosion of the sun, how intense are the feels gonna be before and after Snape goes to Voldemort 2 hours late at the end of GoF? How is Ariel going to manage to let him go when her greatest fear is being alone? (I just read dark and distant year and it *did* something to me). Also have you thought about how to first "I love you" is gonna go down (in both directions)? Anyway thanks for ruining my sanity with your fic I love you.

omg thank you angel ❤️ glad you're enjoying it so much!!!

I can't say much about the end of GoF but there will be many feels, I kind of view the end of GoF as a breaking off point for Ariel when I outline the story. Her dad going back to Voldemort will really signify the end of childhood so I plan on leaning heavily into that. She's currently in complete denial about him having to return at all (note that she literally doesn't think about it one bit) so when she's forced to confront - like you said, her greatest fear - it's a powder keg ignited (hey, aim & ignite, HA).

Soooo Snape would rather chew off his wand arm himself than ever say I love you and I think Ariel is also aware of this so they will have a saying that will actually be used for the first time next chapter! It doesn't mean "I love you" just yet - it'll be literal for a while and then morph into a check-in of like, hey are you good? but eventually they'll start to use it as such.

catching up with skyjacks and this new arc is so promising. its really fun to see Jonnit be so mature, he's confident and charismatic in a way he wasn't at the start of this journey and its really satisfying. especially in contrast to the current dear uhurus with 15 year old Jonnit. he's been through so much:(. fantastic subtle character work by Tyler.

this is another Real old one (you can tell by the blurry quality of it lol)

i wanted to do something with epic 2013 cause i dont see much with it often, as well as something with wir ariel cause despite the princess section being underwhelming and clearly a marketing strategy, ariel looked Very cut (also i wanted to make her dress green)

the proportion differences are Nuts even after i edited some stuff on her face but what can ya do

if i remember correctly the idea behind it was ariel was ronin's daughter who had a crush on nod or something like that

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

you can’t see me but I am kicking my feet in the air like a maniac!!!!!!!!!! this is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! look at!!!!! Ariel Evans!!!!!!!!! my girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look at Snape’s hands holding her face!!!!!!!! i need to be sedated oh my god. the pink from the sunset!!!

this is incredible - and also one of my favorite pieces of dialogue i’ve written so far. thank you so much, holy fucking shit. I am on the floor. i’m going to pass away from my heart exploding now.

❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍

Ariel just stared at him. She felt something warm on her cheeks, something warm and wet, but it was a distant thought, not as important as the look on his face.

“Do you understand what I am saying to you?” he asked, his chest heaving. “I will not leave you — ever. I will never not want you, because you are mine, you ridiculous girl. I have no choice. You need only say the word.”

She felt her heartbeat thrumming in her ears, but the vault of her heart felt so full, so —

“You did it — for her?” Ariel didn’t even realize she’d spoken until Snape’s eyes slid shut. “Even after she Obliviated you?”

“I did it for her,” he sounded like he was clenching his teeth, trying to bite down on the consonants. “And I do it for you. Everything — every fiber of my being — is for you.”

(open for better quality :p)

i think men should be banned from creating magical girl series. especially """""dark and subversive"""" magical girl series. just fundamentally i don't think they respect the genre enough to be subverting it or really going anywhere near it
