Congrats on finishing the Born Archivist AU, @sieveyourtea !

Just a little Child of Illumination doodle based on a funny tshirt to celebrate the completion of Sieve's very long series (I still need to catch up, but I am certain that this is totally within the tone of how things end. Not a doubt in my mind 🙂).

You worked so hard to bring this story to life, and I hope you know how much we love and appreciate everything you do for this community ❤️

Elias design based on @dcartcorner's art from the series, which you should also check out if you haven't already!

My little love,

Tell me, do you feel the way my past aches?

When you lay on me, can you hear the way my heart breaks?

I used to have an obsession with Mario games back when I was a kid, specially with princess daisy, ( and these two were one of my first ships ever) I used to pick her anytime I could, still do and she's still my fav princess lol so after watching The mario movie some of it came back to me, I loved the movie , watched it twice, hope we see Daisy in a sequel !!

I feel so weird coming back to post art after so long, but I couldn´t make art for myself because of my health and being busy, I have other sketches but those aren't finished yet!

after I recover from my Surgery I'll try to draw a bit more :)

I had to get up from my computer during the Cazador fight and walk around because this exchange made me lose my fucking mind.

Fuck me gold leaf is a pain in the ass. We'll get there eventually and it'll be worth it for the shiny

The leaves were pretty fun to paint though I can't lie. Definitely need to incorporate more of those into my gothic work

*video by a self proclaimed historian archeology with mary on a cross dramatic beat in the background fake crying hand on mouth in instagram reels* here is a funeral epigraphy of this young roman lady who got murdered by her husband! People especially men were such beasts right then and haven't changed much! *shows epigraphy where parents of murdered girl both father and mother denounce their daughter's murder as something abominable and either way Very Much Not Uncaring of the girls fate*

the contrast between lance/seb’s and sebchal’s social media pr videos always gets me because charles is constantly looking at sebastian like he’s the second coming of christ, meanwhile lance has the biggest “peacefully minding my own business” aura i’ve ever seen

Oh I love the stars I am channeling all my current wonder and happiness into admitting that gazing upon the sky even in such a lacklustre way, I still feel truly inspired and affected by such a natural beauty that the light from the distant flaming balls of hot mass allow me to see true worth and joy within my own, small in comparison, life. a sight to behold for eyes so hungry for a purpose, a sight for the damned and a sight for the holy. For those seeking destruction and those seeking comfort. Those alone and those so loved.

Awe were once among those stars and that is where we will be when we are gone, and hear me true, I seek not their knowledge but their mystery. A wisdom so far from being held and yet so close to being reached, a yearning we strive for understanding what simply not all are meant to feel captivated by.

Why should they share such gifts with you if you don’t listen? A stargazer can’t reveal as to why they love stars, and yet you try find reason in the most mundane logic as to why.

Simply let go of worry, stay alive, focus or not, you will survive. Strive for a better day, strive for one without worry, just understand that soon enough, you shall complete your journey.

an adventure not limited to destinations, not one with a set goal in mind,

but a good little feeling, leaving all your worries behind.

Need you be reminded of the things so sweet?

of the voices that sing, the chorus all meek?

Hear the caling among the world, a yearning for the beloved, a sight to behold.

Treat nature with utmost respect, and your belief and desires all will be met.

Peace and harmony exist within a calm mind,

those riddled with questions and misery, all stay and signed,

for even the lost souls which wander the world,

will ponder and wonder, what is there to mould?

Heya ! Can I request please for a ATJ (dressed like bike peach) x male child reader fluffy oneshot please ?

#1 Fan

Anya Taylor Joy x Child!Reader

The big day had arrived for the young starlet: the world premiere of the Super Mario Bros Movie. Although Anya had always joked with her family that it was more of Peach’s movie. Chris would always joke in interviews about that too. Anya had her costume picked out and everything. You see everyone else was choosing a standard red carpet attire. Not Anya, she knew that if she was going to playing Princess Peach then darn it she was going to dress as such. You make your way towards the Universal fan event. It was for fans of Super Mario and all things Nintendo. But being only five at the time, you couldn’t exactly ride any of the fan event attractions. But you were all ready in your Mario costume with accompanying mustache to see the stars walk down the red carpet. You were smaller than the other fans, and so young too. You could barely see over the gate that the security had put you behind. But your young mind was on only one person: Anya Taylor Joy. She was your favorite actress. True you had only seen her in the Playmobil movie but you’d rewatch that countless times just for her. When your older sibling told you she was going to be in the Super Mario Bros movie as Princess Peach, you were so excited! As you stare through the gate, you could see Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as they walked the red carpet. Not that you could understand who they were, they weren’t exactly in costume or anything like that. “Looking cool!” Chris Pratt gave you a small smile and a salute. “You look more like Mario than me” “Everyone looks more like Mario than you, Chris” a familiar female voice chimes in. Your heart stops. You knew that voice anywhere. And there she was. Blond with hazelnut eyes and a smile that always made you feel good. Your idol was standing there decked out in her biker outfit from the film. It was like a dream come true for you. “And who do we have here?” Anya says, turning to you with a smile on her face, “I think I found my next companion for the Kart races” You could only nod your head as you locked eyes with her. Your idol was actually talking to you! “Your highness” was all you could say to her “My hero” she bowed right back. She looked to your parents, “mind if i steal away Mario here for a couple photos?” Your parents didn’t mind at all. Anya hoisted you over the fence, “come on hero, you’re needed on the red carpet” Chris Pratt and Jack Black were more than happy to jump in for some photos with you and Anya. And then the rest of the cast came around too. They were all just happy to see the look on a young fan’s face. Sometimes a little act of kindness can last a lifetime. And for you, meeting Anya and being her “date” on the red carpet was more than enough for you.
