Latest Sketch-a-Wish voted on by my lovely Patreon members for August! Inspired by Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands (Emily Wilde #2) by Heather Fawcett, featuring Emily and Wendell in some morning afterglow. I love how Emily is being indecisive about doing the traditional romantic things before Wendell wakes, but then he cuddles up with her anyway, deciding for her. Too cute. I kept his bedhead just for you, Em.

Professor Emily Wilde and that other guy

no more brooding, stoic assholes as love interests. from now on i will only accept pathetic, fussy, pretty boys who genuinely collapse if they are not surrounded by enough soft blankets and sweets and are completely smitten with their wife

I gotta give it to Emily Wilde, she said this bitch Wendell Bambleby ain't normal and proceeded to cite her sources.

Emily Wilde is THE neurodivergent rep queen. Her parents find her weird and off-putting. She gets to a new town and immediately offends them. She has to constantly remind herself to show empathy. She pulled a faerie king with the power of autistic rizz. Truly the representation we all deserve.

Wendell any time he wakes up and Emily is gone

Perhaps it is always restful to be around someone who does not expect anything from you beyond what is in your nature.

"this is why I work alone. I could have been out of the door with Wendell already"

Can we please talk about how Emily, who values her space above everything, and is the most introverted to borderline antisocial person in existence, is so comfortable with Wendell that working with him is synonymous to working alone for her?

Emily Wilde: this journal is intended to serve as an honest scholarly account of my research in the field and to provide a helpful record for any future investigators

Emily Wilde 233 pages later: Reader, obviously I was going to fuck him

Emily Wilde trying to get her hair into a bun once again 🍃

Oh to be a student of dryadology at Cambridge. Your professors regularly get kidnapped by faeries. One of them is the hardest grader you’ve ever met. She fails your essay the same week your cat dies but gives you extra credit because you cry in her office for an hour. Another professor will give his TA’s co-author credit on his papers but it’s said he treats them like slaves. He gives the most longwinded, non-sensical lectures you’ve ever heard and you can’t quite figure out what his class is about (rumor has it he’s a faerie?) You’re pretty sure the aforementioned two professors are in love.

The ONLY thing that has ever hit me in the deep, warm longing that Howl’s Moving Castle always has is the Emily Wilde series. I can’t explain it but it is one of the most charming series I have ever read. I will sing it’s praises from the mountains. I want to put it in my rib cage and let it sink into my bones. There are plenty of stories where the fairy prince falls in love with the mortal woman but none have hit like this. The feeling of being slightly to the left of normal society and never fitting in, only to find you fit perfectly in what exists slightly to the left. Academia but it’s not dark, The Ancient Magus’ Bride but without the depression. Characters that before entering anything romantic have accidentally woven their lives together so intrinsically and platonically that they incidentally refer to each other as extensions of themselves. The danger that walks alongside the beauty of the Otherworld and the acceptance that you cannot have one without the other.

A romance with characters in their 30s, written with all the lovely charm reminiscent of YA novels. I could not recommend it more.
