Donna: *mumbling to herself in Italian, because things aren't just going her way.*

Reader: *jokingly* "Ohhhh looks like someone is upsetti spaghetti today."

Donna: *Kill Bill sirens in her head* *ITALIAN INTENSIFIES*

Hi hello um Wanted to make this after the newest chapter of Phytologists' guide to Falling in love Dropped. So that was months ago lol idk what happenned. Anyways I was so pumped it was back, it got me thinking of my old drawing I made, what was it, 2 years ago now? Anyways I knew I could do better, so I did. Thanks @lucidmagic again for making my favourite fic of all time. As someone whose read an embarrasingly high number of fics over the last 3 and a half years, that bar is high. You know what? It's time to re-read this fic for the 8th time. Let's do it!

[lucidmagic]

IM FUCKING CACKLING THIS IS THE BEST OMG HOLY SHIT THE DRIVE THROUGH ONE GOT ME

HOW ARE YOU SO FUNNY

11/10 I’m def saving this and sharing it with everyone

Thank you so much! This made my day

(Sorry about the delay with noticing this. I’m in a different country than the USA and I’m trying to save data with I don’t have WiFi)

I’m slowly working on the fic but life is… lifing… it will be completed just. Just not sure when.

But I’m so grateful for you @amayasbread and the other readers sticking it out and being so patient. Y’all are truly the best!!!!

TikTok memes I made at 1am based on Phyto’s Guide and it’s characters bc I miss this fic so fcking much y’all have no idea 😭

When will Phyto’s Guide return from the war

(Jk ofc @lucidmagic take your time with it I hope if you see these memes they make u chuckle. Love u and your fic 🫶)

And the hilarious and cute The Lady's Laundry by @cookiekitten91 (WHICH I'M NOW REALIZING IS 7/9 BROOOO ALMOST THERE!!)

Oh my god thank you @grrrechka! This is an amazing cover! I love the perspective and the coloring. “Not the best work” — bullshit, I’m in love with it and you can’t change my mind. I’m so touched that you decided to start your cover series with my little fic. Can’t wait for the rest!

I’m also glad that the scene has such a intense impact you and others. It definitely was a mountain I had to write and it took several revisions to get it right. Still a scene I go back to myself and reread for inspiration and tone.

Amazing work!

So I wanted to draw cover arts for different donna x reader fics and decided to start from "The Phytologist's Guide to falling in love" that was written by @lucidmagic

Originally I thought about putting some fluffy scene on a cover but after re-reading whole fic I decided to choose this one in particular. For me, this part of a chapter was a big step for Donna and gardener in developing their relationship because Donna shared something so painful to her. It was serious and sad but important and it stayed in my head for a long while that is why I tried to draw it.

P.s Only after I read the Claudia's grave part for second time I understood where everything was happening, that what english as second language does to a mf 💀

Additional note: I will try not to draw reader too detailed unless their description is clearly written, so if you're an author that I drew cover for feel free to ask edit of character on art.

A.a.n: I won't draw cover for fics that are more than one relationship(Like reader x multiple Re8 women). It would give me too much scenes and gradually increase the whole process 😅

Also if you know any author's tumblr accounts please put them in comments! I only know that 🤏 much of fic writers on ao3 who have tumblr account

[lucidmagic]

*sigh*

I'm back on my bullshit...

Said bullshit:

Ioane calls Reader a fucking simp (derogatory)

the kiss

"with both of your hands, you take hers, still soft and barely any grip to it, and lift her hands to your lips.

you give each gauzed knuckle a brief kiss, accentuating your comments and trying to translate everything you feel into it.

every look you stole when she wasn’t looking, every burning emotion you feel when you manage to get her to puff out a laugh, every accidental touch that sends your heart spiraling and breath shallow."

- @lucidmagic 's "The Phytologist's Guide to Falling in Love" on A03

ok here me out....

donna beneviento is gorgeous and you can fight me on that. it doesn’t help that @lucidmagic ‘s fantastic fic grabbed my heart and squeezed the feels out of it lol

i improved on some lines of this and i like this whole black and white thing i've been doing so this would prob be how i roll. i hope this looks ok :)
