Ooooooh but I love this. I LOVE this. I remember when so much of the awesome fanart we got were little headshots like this, a small inspiration taken from the book art. It's always incredibly fun seeing people's own take on it, though, and your take is positively lovely.

My boy Reynie! Look at him!!! Look at his little sweater vest!!! Look at how kind his smile is, oh my goodness. I don't know how artists capture emotions with lines but every time it make me feel The Awe. I love how each of the kids has a little colour associated with them, and I LOVE how Reynie is green!! You chose so well. It's cool how the green colour isn't just his vest and the little clover decorations, but rather a part of his outline too!!! (And with the other kids as well, Reynie's just where I first noticed.)

Sticky is ADORABLE here. I love his shy smile and his big ol' glasses. His eyes are even a little bigger than the others because of the lenses! That's fantastic detail I'm so impressed! His outfit is also perfect and very much a Sticky look, which makes me grin. The little worry drops as his... symbol(?) is so fitting. I want to hug him. I want to hug The Boi.

Constance's little grumpy face is so charming, in the way that little grumpy kids are endlessly charming to me. They've got big personalities and Opinions and this is absolutely fantastic! Of course she's wearing her raincoat, but I like the little red clip in her hair too. Another perfect sign too with the red wrinkles!! She is grumpy! It's cool how cartoons and anime and comics have given us these codes to let us look at little lines and know exactly what they represent!

Kate! Look at her big grin and her little winky face! She's got such personality and you've captured it beautifully here. It's really cool how you managed to capture the difference between Kate and Constance's hair, one being whispy white/blonde and one golden! Sometimes it's a toss up with what colour Kate is - her red bucket is so iconic!- but I totally agree that she's a yellow. She's bright and cheery and excitable 95% of the time!

Anyways, these are so lovely @lotsofsq! I'd love to hear about your process or why yous specifically added any of those little details like the symbols if you have the time and energy and will, but not worries! I'm just happy I got to enjoy them. Thank you for sharing!

THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY!!!!!!

i’ll be posting most of my stuff chronologically so enjoy my journey

[ID copies from alt text: four headshots of the four society members: reynie is smiling calmly, his hair is sweeping left over his forehead. he is wearing a green sweater vest with a line of little sprouts on it over a button down. sticky has a nervous expression, he is fully bald. he is wearing a blue sweater over a button down. constance looks peeved and has wispy blonde hair with red hair clips. she is wearing a red coat over a yellow shirt. kate is excited and winking, her gold blonde hair is in a high ponytail. she is in a red and white striped t-shirt. all 4 have emphasized lines around them in their respective colors: reynie has green flowers, sticky has blue sweat beads, constance has red jagged lines, and kate has yellow radial lines around her. ]

Some Advice For People Leaving Comments on Fanfics:

“I liked your fic”

Nice, but basic and easy to overlook

Doesn’t compel the author to do anything other than take the compliment

Sounds like you might be a bot (ew)

“I am going to eat your floorboards!”

Unique and attention grabbing

Makes me second guess whether I should have bought that insurance

Sounds like you might be a termite (how did a termite learn to type????)

Trenton Lee Stewart was like: Neurodivegence is a superpower. Fuck capitalism. Killing people is wrong when there are alternatives. Immigrants are heroes. Women are awesome. Black people are freaking gorgeous. People are good at heart.

And then turned that into a book series. And succeeded.

@defloress this art is still absolutely gorgeous, and well worth a reblog! I love how young she looks here, how she's looking at the viewer with something knowing in her eye. The sunflowers in the background remind me of Number Two, and that they're sisters!!! It's so cute! And I also also love love LOVE how you draw the soft folds of her sweater. This is A++++ rhonda art!

Martina Crowe is literally the og hater. You will never be as iconic of a hater as her. She is so committed to hating that she stopped the narrative at a climatic moment while our heroes our captured to list all of the things she hates, categorized in order of how much she hates them and with reasons, for a full two pages. Have you ever stopped the narrative at a climatic moment to list all the things YOU hate in order? No? That's because Martina Crowe is the GOAT at hating. In the Olympics of hating she takes the gold every time. Her competitors aren't even on the podium. You can try to be a hater but you're just embarrassing yourself. Give up <3

ALRIGHT, WHO'S IN THE TMBS FAMDOM, REBLOG TO SOUND OFF I WANT TO SEE HOW MANY OF US THERE ARE

[mashpotatoequeen]

if we're talking about Rhonda, ya KNOW i have to reblog the ever lovely @pumpkinthistle art of Rhonda Baby + Dad. I had to!! I HAD TOO!!! LOOK AT THOSE IDDY BIDDY CHEEKS MY HEART MY HEART MY HEART

This is so precious to me <3

Ok so I was totally overthinking it bc all my request is is just a drawing of pregnant rhonda bc the fact that she gets to start a family is so CUTE AND SWEET JSJDJSJ but yeah it’s a little bit of a spoiler for anyone who hasn’t read riddle of ages lmao

Ok, so... All you asked for was pregnant Rhonda, I know, I know. But...

I may have gone overboard... 😅 Listen, you can’t appreciate how cute a baby’s wispy curls and squishy cheeks are while it’s in the womb. And I’m weak for adorable families. The book didn’t tell us much about Rhonda’s husband (only that he’s a “charming physicist”) and even less about the baby, but I honestly love this little scientist family so much.

Thank you for waiting patiently. And for giving me a reason to draw more Rhonda. 😁

REMEMBER THE WHITE KNIGHT!!!!

This is.... my absolute favourite scene from the books, probably. It might be one of my favourite bits of writing of all time, if I am deeply honest with myself. I love it. I love how Trenton Lee Stewart utilizes the motif so effectively, from the initial test and how Reynie experiences doubt about his answer, to the conversation in the study, to the SCENE. The scene in the middle of the night when Reynie's at his lowest, his most doubtful, and he reaches out and almost gives up and-

Remember the white knight.

Man. I love it. Love it, love it, love it. I reread it all the time. I have cried over that passage before and I will again.

You art captures it so beautifully. I love Reynie's expression here, how soft and downcast he looks, the way it almost seems like he's trying to judge his own hands and hold them steady. I love the highlights in his hair, the way your art style shows definition and shadow on skin. I love the colours, that soft, almost sad blue. They mesh beautifully with the text behind it, and when you first glance at the art you almost don't notice the writing but take a second longer and-

Oh.

Remember the white knight.

Lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely. @magic-swords-art, this is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so, so much for sharing and bringing one of my favourite anythings to life in some small way. This art is one of my favourite anythings, too. <3

The difference between book and show Curtain is that if show Curtain was a cat, he’d be a passive-aggressive fancy show cat that would look you dead in the eyes as he jumped up on the counter and knocked one of your glasses onto the floor.

Meanwhile, book Curtain is a scraggly old cat that hisses and yowls whenever anyone gets near him.
