"i like to go on stage and close my eyes and listen to him drum. it's my favorite thing to do and for a few moments there's no one there but, then you gotta wake up and play a show."

“Adam finally sat down on one of the pews. Laying his cheek against the smooth back of it, he looked at Ronan. Strangely enough, Ronan belonged here, too, just as he had at the Barns.

This noisy, lush religion had created him just as much as his father's world of dreams; it seemed impossible for all of Ronan to exist in one person. Adam was beginning to realize that he hadn't known Ronan at all. Or rather, he had known part of him and assumed it was all of him. The scent of Cabeswater, all trees after rain, drifted past Adam, and he realized that while he'd been looking at Ronan, Ronan had been looking at him.”

re-reading the locked tomb, and i'm thinking about how harrow identifies alecto as a "girl" rather than a "woman."

obviously, john had other sources of inspiration... but did you know that the original barbie doll was only supposed to be nineteen years old?

just want to say if you’ve ever sent me a long or extremely unique ask complimenting my art and i dont respond to it. it’s not because im Evil and dont want to respond it’s because i purposely hoard those asks like a dragon so i can reread them all the time and if i answer them they’re now outside of my dragon treasure hoard

Show!Rhaenyra and book!Rhaenyra because I like them both for different reasons

more under cut

dresses without the background filter. I love drawing intricate details and then all of that disappearing when I add lighting

I'm actually very bad at clothes and fashion. Show!Rhaenyra is wearing the outfit she wears in one scene in season 1 episode 8.

book!Rhaenyra's dress was based almost entirely on this depiction of Lady Jane Grey by Henry Norris, and the Streatham portrait also thought to depict her.

Jane Grey was queen for all of 9 days due to her cousin, Edward VI, naming her his heir. When she lost her supporters, her cousin Mary I was crowned and had her executed.

The background fireplace is heavily based on this photo of the Hardwick Hall fireplace

hello!

this is for a new mootie I’ve got (and for literally anyone) but its… Frostcup 😜

ALSO GUYS

GUYS

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS IS FINALLY BACK ON NETFLIX 😭😭😭😭 I don’t have to pay to see Jack anymore I’m so happy

anyways here’s a short comic I’ve made ↓↓↓

it always comes as a great deal of DIFFICULTY and experimentation for me to make comics, because I’m still like “starting out” and I literally just redraw every panel, colours and everything 😭

So I’m slowly like… learning. TJATS why most colours and shading aren’t the exact same, but it’s not that bad (I think?)

Anyways here you go!

I have some more stuff going on, so hopefully it’ll come this week

All I will say is exams are a pain in the ass and I’m SICK OF IT

also lowkey kinda don’t like how they look… but I don’t caaaareeeee anymoreeee im so tired

okay

Love ya

As always art is by me :3 ———————> @sillyboycam

Reblog for sample size etc etc

* How to calculate the number of fics in your history:

1. Go to your history tab on your ao3 dashboard and scroll all the way down to the bottom.

2. See how many pages of history you have, and whatever the second to last page number is, multiply that number by 20 (because there are 20 fics per page).

3. Go to the very last page and count the remaining fics there (this number will be between 1 and 19).

4. Add the total from Step 2 to the remainder from Step 3.

Turn by Saras_Girl (300k, E)

Tags (quoting SG): some het, a lot of slash, some epilogue-friendly stuff and a lot of AU. 

“In the glimpse, you and I were friends,” Harry says softly. “Really good friends. Draco and I saw you all the time. There were four of us... me and Draco and you and your wife.” Harry hesitates and then presses on, throat dry, wishing he could think of a better way to do this. “Two couples,” he adds. Blaise stares, and Harry can see the expressions flashing across his face, far too rapidly to discern a single one. Finally, he pushes out a long, considered exhalation. “You mean to tell me,” he murmurs, voice light with incredulity, “that you and Draco were some sort of item in this glimpse... thing?”

Thoughts: Head forcibly empty, just silent, repressed feelings for this fic. I don’t think I need to say anything for Turn (or else I will fill this rec with bottomless keyboard smashing.)
