Why am I bothering to do this? Surely at this point y'all, like, know that I update at nearly the same time every day while I post a fic so if I forget to update Tumblr, like, I can trust y'all to still know it's there?!

Anyway yes I am late again leave me alone about it XD

Things continue. This chapter is mostly a "let the story breathe" chapter but it's very cute

I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more

[watcheraurora]

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know XD It's just the way my brain works... but this one being written so fast was lightning in a bottle and hopefully will never happen again for the sake of my sanity XD

That said

OH MY FREAKING GOD! THIS IS AMAZING!

OMG the detail is absolutely stunning! The citadel in the mountains! Jimmy! (Everything about him, but that outfit is fantastic!) The interior of the carriage even! There's embroidery on the curtains! I love the frame of the Ice King from behind! It looks so good!

And then the interior of the citadel?! I am losing my mind over here! (Too late. It's already lost) Look at the frost on the floor or maybe it's a rug and I'm just a derp in the pretty pattern! And the fire in the first panel and the visible wear on the stairs? And then Tango AAAAAHHHHH! Look at him! Coat, circlet! That earring? I love it?! The embroidery on the belt??? Hello?! Gorgeous???! And his attitude!!! And his eyes - they look so just, like, otherworldly and ethereal! I have no idea how you made the fur lining look so good but it's gorgeous

And all the lighting and the snow and just - aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

My friend, you are absolutely amazing! I am so honored and so, so grateful you share your skills with me! This is incredible and beautiful and just - I don't even know all the right words to express the joy and awe I feel you'd think that the Word Nerd would, but the Word Nerd cannot

@watcheraurora How do you write like tomorrow wont arrive ~

They started another ranchers fanfic, a fantasy au with elements of DND in there, and I couldn't not draw fanart for it. Here's a sneaky link for those interested

I be counting down the mins waiting for it update TwT

[foursaints]

fanonwise i sometimes feel that we don’t treat barty crouch jr’s relationship to his father with the amount of nuance that it’s given in canon.

i see more evidence for their dynamic as one of a prodigal son‘s unexpected betrayal, rather than him being openly defiant from the beginning. barty jr disdains his father more than he fears him.

barty’s character is more about being Stifled than it is about being Penalized, if that makes sense. he is a docile thing on the outside. for a counterexample: sirius continuously rebelled against his parents and was punished for it, over and over. barty is more the case of a child dutifully abiding with something spiteful and ugly growing underneath his surface, larger each passing year.

barty’s revenge, and his anger, and his suffering, are all quiet things: the secret burying of a bone, the forced muteness of imperius. barty doesn’t react when he speaks about his father or sees him in disguise. he admits to never truly considering him a father, seeing more of himself in tom instead.

this is more compelling to me than casting him as a sirius-variant!! it’s a slow type of resentment— leading to torture and ending in revenge— and i like the idea of barty as someone in Waiting. he’s the deferential mirror of a man he doesn’t respect (but never truly, not inside). barty jr was a son raised to take the place of his father: obeying to the letter until he suddenly didn’t, and finally usurping him in the most violent way possible with patricide. his father wanted an heir to replace him and he created a perfect one, in the most tragically ironic way possible!! this will always be more interesting to me than a barty who is plainly defiant from the outset— it flattens him!!

w… wh… WHAT?! No seriously I opened my Tumblr and this was the first thing I see and I just said “WHAT?!” Really loud. Out loud. Alone in my office XD

This is amazing! Oh my goodness it’s beautiful!

I am blown away and amazed by the interpretations of Tango’s formalwear! They’ve both been so gorgeous and stunning!

Oh the cape and the crown and the detail on his shirt!!!? Amazing!

This is so pretty! I love it!

Thank you so much for sharing!

Hey, so, a fic literally gave me all the energy to draw something. Genuinely don't know what happened. I blinked, and it was drawn.

My own little interpretation of Tango's formal wear from Chapter 11 of @watcheraurora fic. I had to look up so many references it's not funny. The struggles of aphantasia ig lmao. Had a fun time drawing this, though, so that's all that really matters
