But the Mage says that’s not my path. That’s how he talks to me. “It’s not your path, Simon. Your destiny lies elsewhere.”

Full artwork of Baz in the bonus content room for @thewholelemon ! Go read Chapter 3 of their fic “Just Remember Me When” https://archiveofourown.org/works/57161218/chapters/145389706#workskin

This piece holds the record for digital painting I’ve spent the most time on, just 20 minutes shy of 50 hours! It definitely felt longer, somehow😅 i practically painted the whole background with the knowledge that i would blur it in the end. I felt if i didn’t draw it all, the blur would look incredibly unrealistic and weird.

Jenny and I talked extensively about how the composition should look. Or rather, originally i wanted to fit all 5 people from the scene into the drawing, but just couldn’t not make it work. Jenny was incredibly nice and flexible, and told me that i didn’t need to, since Baz looking at Simon was the important part. Thats how we ended up with this composition

We also talked about how we wanted to represent the bonus content room, and settled on drawing inspirations from long exposure photography. I tried my best to get the effect via combining procreates different blurring options, using a bit of perspective blur and motion blur. Perspective blur was used to keep Simon’s face as a sort of focal point in the blurring, making sure his face was still intelligible. Im not quite sure i actually managed to make the blurring look specifically like long exposure photography though😬 maybe in the future if i get to draw something like this again, i might try some different methods!

Im incredibly happy i could be part of Carry On Big Bang this year! Ever since i read the books in November 2021, I saw fics written for the project and thought it was the coolest thing. Since i adore this project so, i knew i had to give it my everything (something my mother was really unhappy about. At the same time i was in this project, i was chosen for a project to illustrate one of many stories for a book about loneliness, one that would be published, which my mother thought i should prioritize and basically shit on this project🙄 safe to say i didnt agree. In the end i managed both. Take that mother.) (although i did actually put way more time into COBB whoops��� but the carry on fandom deserves it)

See you next time, when i might post an artdump of all the art i did for artfight this past month!

Commission done for @mooncello and @drowninginships as a gift for @valeffelees !!

Davy has been on my drawing radar for a loooong time and finally got the chance to draw him for this!

When I got approached for this, I was so excited for it as I love to hear @valeffelees ‘s ramblings about Davy. He’s such a good character.

And I’m so glad I got to be a part of this gift!!

[valeffelees]

So, funny thing happened today. At suspiciously the same time, @drowninginships and @mooncello messaged me. They told me they had something for me. Added me into a group chat. Obviously something was up, yeah?

But nothing could've prepared me for this. I thought my heart was gonna stop when Heath dropped this gorgeous commission by @alexalexinii into the chat.

Holy fuck. I mean, holy fuck.

To be loved is to be known. So, Heath and Rakkel: thank y'all for knowing me. Thank y'all for the hours you've both given me listening to me ramble about the Mage. For hearing me out from day one. For standing in my corner. And for such an amazing gift. I love y'all too.

ARCANE SPOILERS ACT S2

TO THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS FANS THAT SHUT ME DOWN EVERY FUXKING TIME I SAID THAT THE MAGE WAS VIKTOR

HOW DO U FEEL ?!?

[ionlydrinkhotwater]

Hi @rainbowrowell I was wondering, why Simon had any reason to like the Mage? You have expanded on flawed and complicated characters like Fiona and Malcolm that they still loved and cared for Baz so even at their worst Bazs affection is justified. But what did the Mage ever do to gain affection from Simon? Even the Mages who were on his side seemed to do it for political reasons and Agatha says Simon was probably the only one who liked him, but what was Simon's reasons? What justification did Davy give him?

A Holiday With David Cadwallader

As many of you may know, I’m obsessed with the older version of SnowBaz, with MalMage my beloved, and since I’m making it everyone’s problem, I decided to make the Carry On Countdown with fanfiction exclusively about MalMage since the theme is Carry On (I hope it’s allowed tho...). So welcome to the first time I’ll make it to the Countdown. 

SUMMARY:

Malcom Grimm isn’t expected to come back to spend holidays at home. As a solution, his roommate, David Cadwallader, offers him a place at his house, which is a terrible proposition, both realize on their way. Or maybe it’s the best choice and their best holiday ever.

CHAPTER/PROMPT ONE: Something Old

MALCOLM

The sun shines through the window in our room, lighting our packed trunks and Davy’s golden hair. It’s a cold morning, but it’s warmer than it’s been since November started.

I’m holding onto the promise of a normal Christmas, for the first time it might really be a Normal holiday.

Keep reading on AO3 how Malcolm meets Davy's grandpa.

wait i just realized, didnt justice saving over her own death prevent the mage from loading a file before hand? otherwise that wouldnt be when her death was sealed, as the mage would have just reloaded.

The Mage didn't understand the save/load ability to such a degree. In theory, they could have reloaded to before it due to having a separate save file, but eventually even they saved over her death, not knowing they could undo it.

The Mage. May he rest in pain.

– Wayward Son

I started drawing something else, but then @foolofabookwyrm-activated asked what the prompt was, and when I told her, she immediately said “an urn”. I stared in middle-distance, stunned. I knew what I had to do.
