Sketches of Whick (from Estranged by @ethanmaldridge) (they’re basically a living candle, for those not in the know)
…half of these are just me coming up with different ways to injure them. Sorry, pal. This is how fandoms are sometimes.
The image near the bottom where their face is covered in writing is an AU where Hawthorne won and/or took Whick captive, and rewrote their code to obey her. (And gave them a new outfit that matches her evil aesthetic.)
#if you see this mr. aldridge I love your booksssss#you inspire me#and I love whick so muchhhhhh#estranged#estranged whick#ethan m aldridge

1589 Dream in fae form.
SO... 1589 Dream looks like the grown up version of the boys in Estranged, and I couldn't get it out of my head, AND it is 100% cannon that Dream has a form for pretty much every dreaming species (see the multitude of Dreams in Sandman Overture) so here's my attempt at faery Dream 🙂
Perhaps this is the one that hooked up with Titania? You can see how Shakespeare would be a step up, and perhaps Hob — sorry, Sir Robert Gadlen — a painful reminder of the vain, mercurial court life the Dream King had only just escaped...
#The Sandman#Dream of the Endless#Estranged#Graphic novels#Ethan M Aldridge#Procreate#Faerie#Dreams love life is a mess so we have to be a little bit understanding#basically anything less than sending your exlover to hell is actually a step up if you know what I mean#he was smitten by Sir Hob but couldn't let his heart be vulnerable like that after just escaping the clutches of the fay queen#Sandman fanart#Dream of the endless fanart#my Sandman fanart

Top Final Sentences of 2023
He knew that on the day of his death he would see her face and he could hope to carry that beauty into the darkness with him, the last pagan on earth, singing softly upon his pallet in an unknown tongue. Cormac McCarthy, from The Passenger

And we laughed and held each other and filled our hearts with the faith that we could always do that, always blow away the clouds that threatened our stars. Andrew Neiderman as V.C. Andrews, from Honey
But as anyone who loves reading and writing quickly learns, both activities allow you to commune with the living and the dead, to listen to the thoughts of those who have come before you and argue, cajole, and sing praise for them in response. Kaitlyn Greenidge, from “Books for a Black Girl’s Soul”
The greatest shame would be to reach the end of our lives and have the epitaph read, ‘They worked really hard.’ Roxane Gay, from “Yes, Your Job Is Important. But It’s Not All Important.”
The sky is gory with stars, like the insides of a gutted night. Julia Armfield, from “Salt Slow”

Deephaven by Ethan M. Aldridge
From Ethan M. Aldridge, bestselling creator of Estranged, comes a gothic middle grade prose novel that follows a nonbinary student who is drawn to their boarding school’s forbidden east wing, where something stalks the shadowy corridors. Perfect for fans of J.A. White and Mary Downing Hahn!
When Guinevere "Nev" Tallow receives an acceptance letter to the exclusive Deephaven Academy, they know it’s the fresh start that they’ve been looking for.
But things are strange from the moment they arrive—the house itself seems to breathe, students whisper secrets in dark corridors, and the entire east wing of the academy is locked away for reasons no one wants to explain. And Nev knows something ragged stalks the shadowy corridors, something that sobs quietly and scratches at the walls, waiting to be released.
With the help of another first-year student, Nev takes it upon themselves to unravel the mysteries hidden in Deephaven's halls. But will they risk their fresh start to bring the academy’s secret to light?
