BLUE FOR YOU, a Lapis Lazuli Fanart Zine is now up on my itchio! 🥳💕💖

This is a collection of 12 brand new digital paintings I've made of how I draw Lapis Lazuli - which is less so the canon, and more so just me projecting and making them very gender and hot! 👏💕✨

If you enjoy my work of Lapis and enjoy some suggestive nudity and cool guy vibes, then this is $6 zine for you! 🥳💖

Anybody got one of these?

It's the Foodiverse zine and I never got one. There's not much out there that I don't have somewhere in my SU collection, but this is one of the things!

I think it's just got cute drawings of SU food in it? And was made by Emily Walus. Who is GREAT!

I especially love this because I'm the person who made every food from the show. It's sad that I haven't been able to find one of these lovely little zines.

Thank you, Owl House 🦉🏠💕

The Owl House came into my life at the perfect time. I had been following the show since its announcement in 2017. As a former Gravity Falls fan and lover of all things spooky, I was instantly captivated.

By the time it aired in 2020, I loved it from the premiere. Steven Universe was ending and I was about to turn 17, so it seemed like the perfect new start. I immediately threw myself into making fanart and was on the ground floor of the fandom, making a name for myself and meeting so many cool people. By the time of Grom, I was dressing up in my room for the premiere and telling everyone I could about lumity.

As season 2a aired in 2021, I branched out. Animatics, fanfics, my first zine. My art grew with the show, and some of the people I met around this time are still some of my closest friends. All built around this amazing show that was just getting better with every episode.

With season 2b in 2022, my obsession waned a bit as I found other shows, but I never stopped loving it. I found a style I was comfortable with and ran with it, making the show my own.

Now, as the show comes to a close and I move on to other obsessions, I promise I won't lose sight of this beautiful, emotional, groundbreaking show that brought me to where I am today. That made me love being a weirdo, made me love being an artist, and that I love so so much.

To answer your question about characters you used to draw and art block, I missed when you did Steven Universe characters. You ever think about drawing the Diamonds again?

Guess what, I joined a SU themed zine recently, so the answer to that question is definitely a yes! Here are some doodles I did to warm up for it.

Fandom Wrap-Up 2024

Total words of fanfiction published: 25,807

Fandoms written for: Once Upon a Time, Supergirl, Teen Wolf

Events participated in: Scottuary 2024, OUAT Appreciation Week 2024

Fanfic I’m proudest of: This one has to go to my Supergirl fic "the most recent evidence seems to favor the sea gulls" (AO3 | SquidgeWorld), not just because it's long as hell and covers a ton of ground but also because I really challenged myself to do new things with it (choose-your-own-adventure format! POV of a character whose canon version I sometimes struggle to really grasp!) and I think the end result turned out really well. So that's definitely my magnum opus for the year.

Other fanworks I’m proudest of: I'm really proud of my BtVS meta "Eternity, Growing Up, and Why Buffy Keeps Dating Vampires"; I think it's one of my best analyses ever. I really love this Amphibia edit I made to Mary Ruefle's poem "The Tenor of Your Yes." I think this OUAT edit showing the main characters as animals is just plain cute, frankly. And I'm incredibly happy with my second ever fanvid, my Amphibia AMV “In the 99” (Tumblr | YouTube), which was more ambitious than my first fanvid and IMO has smoother editing.

Events I’m looking forward to next year: Scottuary 2025, High/Low Zine

Projects for next year: Aside from my projects for the aforementioned events, probably my biggest priority for next year is finishing my Steven Universe WIP "Hard But Brittle," which I started almost two years ago at this point. I also have a Buffyverse fic and a Teen Wolf fic that I've made good progress on that I hope to publish relatively early in the year. I also have yet to finish out my fics from the Year of the OTP 2023 event; I got one of them done this year, but I still have four left. I know the basic premises of all of them at this point, I just have to write them. And...I have a ton of other WIPs that may or may not see the light of day in 2025, I guess we'll have to see what happens. I'm also planning 2 AMVs that I'm hoping to put out next year -- one for Revolutionary Girl Utena and one for Adventure Time. I'm super excited about both of them, but it takes me a while to plan AMVs, so I'm not sure when they'll actually get published.
