I love this so much and I just cannot stop coming back to stare at it again and again. Is there anywhere I could buy a print of it? I do not see it on your Redbubble and I LOVE it so p, so, so, much. (Apologies that I could not figure out how to link your original post of this art so you would know what I am talking about)

It makes me so happy you love that piece, my friend. I like it quite a lot too! It's nice to know Dean and Cas are doing their part to conserve water in these trying times ;)

I desperately need to update my art on Redbubble and my website. The good news is, you can order a custom print of your choice from the link here. Just add the title "Steal Away" in the custom request box when it prompts you. (you can also just write "hurt/comfort bathtub destiel" or something to that effect too. I'll know what you mean.)

If you have any problems with it, feel free to send me a dm or another ask!

Stacy's Tipsy Musing's - Colin Bridgerton Hot Takes - Part 3

Ok boys and girls, we need to have a little chat about Colin Bridgerton.

Part 2 has been out now for a couple of days and there have been a lot of hot takes to come out of the season. A LOT of hot takes. I’m going to break this down into 4 parts. 4 questions that I'm seeing really bad hot takes about Colin.

Now none of this is new, I gotta say before Season 3 aired Colin was a hot button topic anyway. He seemed to be the Bridgerton brother that lots of people love to spew hate takes on anyway. But damn I gotta say its painful seeing the Polin fandom have so many bad takes falling from their lips.

So, I figured...having a little drink tonight, sitting down for Father’s Day (Happy Father’s Day, Colin) I’d give you the opinion on some of these takes that you didn’t ask for...Mine!

Last time we talked about Colin’s entrapment statement to Pen and if he truly meant it.  Question 1, Question 2, now lets get to Question 3:

Why would Colin sleep on the couch and ruin their wedding night and then continue to sleep on the couch after they are married?

Ok this has a lot to do with why he put her in the carriage home alone instead of going home to fuck her while he was angry which we discussed in part 2. Colin was unable to be intimate with his wife while he was angry, jealous, and ashamed of himself for being any of those things. Just because she was his wife, just because he had rights to lay with her, did not mean he felt he was in a place to do so.

Colin knew that this lie, these feelings, this hurt between them had caused him to build a wall. It was pain that was between them. He did not want to actually abandon her, because lets be honest, they had other rooms in their home, he chose to sleep right outside her bedroom door, right where he could still be within distance of his wife. He needed to be near her, but he could not be with her.

Colin again is Violet’s most sensitive child, who wears armor. And the moment his most trusted friend and love lied to him, he put that armor back on. Book Colin got over Lady Whistledown quickly because Pen didn’t have Marina to write about in the book, or in fact much that she wrote about Colin at all besides him being charming. Show Colin needed to process much more, and even then, he truly got over it in a matter of a couple of days. DAYS people! It took El a year.

But Colin needed time to process his feelings, and he processed that without confusing sex into it. You could see that it wasn’t that he didn’t WANT his wife. He very much wanted Penelope. That was shown by him walking into her room and very quickly drooling all over himself. He even admitted to her that he wanted to hold and kiss her, but something was holding him back. He simply could not be intimate with her while there was all these feelings holding him back.

Colin was determined that removing Whistledown from Pen would do that. Until in his alone time, he re-read her letters and realized that all this time, he was in love with the one person he thought he despised. He loved Lady Whistledown because she was always a part of his best friend. She had always been there in his interactions with Penelope. And he didn’t need her to remove that piece of herself, he didn’t need to save her, he didn’t need to do anything, except stand beside her and love her.

Once he did that, it opened the door, it opened his heart, and they found their way back to their bedroom.

Stick around for part 4....

How could Colin refuse to listen to Pen and just jump in to fix the situation with Cressida?

hiii! um, is this thing on? (*sweating nervously, tapping on mic*) anyway this is my first time interacting with someone on tumblr. i’m not new by any sense of the word but there’s so much you can do on here and the layout is definitely overwhelming, so i just never got around to interacting much (other than likes), or posting anything because it is a very very daunting and overstimulating task for me, but i don’t have the attention span to watch a tutorial on yt just yet.

oh, wow, am i rambling? uhhh (*shuffles flashcards around*) anyway you’re one of the blogs i follow and i saw one of your recent posts about feeling discouraged, so i just wanted to pop in and say you are an AMAZING writer. you’re eloquent and descriptive without being overly stuffy, and your creativity shines through in everything you post. sometimes i wonder if you’ve got a 9-5 pumping out ideas like these because they are always steamy, yes, but also interesting and complex and unique. you’re totally an inspiration to me as someone who is also a writer but is facing a lot of issues with appreciating my own style and finding confidence to do anything with my work, and i know i’m rambling again but i just have to make sure i get the point across. the point in question?

you. are. awesome.

i know things seem slow and you might be feeling bogged down, but you’ll always have me cheering in your corner, and a variety of so many other fans who you’ve given wonderful content to time and time again. thanks for the courage to like what we like, the content to savor it, and the incredible writing to send our jaws crashing to the floor.

anyway, enough with the cheesy, sappy ranting. have a spectacular day/night, and i hope things start looking up real soon!

:]

I've read this asks many times today and decided to post it around the time I received it. I hope that, whoever sent it, will also see my answer.

I am deeply moved by your words. It's actually more than that, but I don't know how to describe it. I am so grateful and honored you decided to send me this message. You... said so many wonderful things and I felt the warmth in every sentence.

I don't think I deserve such praise, but I will go back to this ask whenever I feel down. I will treasure you!

I also hope you will find the strength to share your art with the rest of the world. But keeping it private is something I also understand. Creating is an amazing thing by itself. Whatever you chose to do with your creations, I hope it brings you joy.

I wish you all the best, my friend! 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

If I were on my deathbed with enough strength to write one word it would be your name

(this is jensensitive) Thanks so much for your kind words, I loved that my art inspired something so lovely 🥺💕💕💕

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

oh gosh, elle, you are MORE than welcome. you're so very talented and your art is so beautiful and rich and very obviously yours—i personally have no real style to speak of, so am always completely wowed when i can recognise someone's art, y'know? so cool.

and yes, you absolutely inspired me! i have such terrible, debilitating block rn. like, i've done around 30 pieces of art in the last year; i used to do that in a bloody week!! ugh. but the way you drew dean in the artwork i linked in mine made me not only appreciate (all over again) how wonderful jackles face is to draw—the mix of soft and hard lines in his features is so unique—but also made me gasp bc of the way YOU saw him... it really was like @cloverhighfive said (i am so totally going to screenshot those epic tags and rb again in a minute btw!):

your depiction of him was like he was one of michelangelo's or bernini's sculptures! and that just reminded me what it was/is to create ToT

my dean art had no real thought go into it, and isn't half as pretty as yours, imo, but oh my stars, it was fun to try and make something pretty again!

so, thank YOU, friend <3

Mercy!

Please you don’t need to even reply to the negativity! There will always be someone who likes to be combative, replying to them gives them the excuse to complain more. I realize how ridiculous this sounds but it’s how the trolls work. Your blog is charming and your hard work speaks for itself. With everything you’ve been through please don’t worry about silly commentary ignore them. You’re doing great.

Take care

bestie every time i see your shirtless cas art it always has me giggling and kicking my feet i love it so much

You're right, friend. I should draw him like that more. Just wanna do my part to help combat depression.

[gleefullypolin]

These past few weeks have been full of confounding feelings. Feelings like a total inability to stop thinking about you. About that kiss. Feelings like dreaming of you when I'm asleep. And in fact preferring sleep because that is where I might find you. A feeling that is like torture. But one which I cannot, will not, do not want to give up.

[slightly-knot-insane]

Dude!! Your art is so good!! I just saw the nsfw examples you gave in your post a bit ago!

I'm so happy to hear this! I'm planning on drawing a lot more monsters(exy time) in the future!

Whoops, I deleted pinned post, I'm such a dork.

I've been on tumblr since 2010, but not on this blog; I made it when worried about the latest round of tomfoolery, in order to have an unflagged space to share and reblog things I like.

[hl-obsessed]

hi, i just want you to know i'm seeing all your wonderful messages and asks and comments and all of it. just don't fucking really know what to say. i'm holding there, hope we all are. sending you also lot of hugs and strength. thank you for being, thank you for carrying.

[jewellery-box]

Hi there,

I just saw your (very graceful and polite) pinned post. Another person I follow recently experienced some frustratingly condescending interactions about their historical posts, and I am so sorry to hear you are going through something similar. If your experience is anything like theirs, I will say again what I commented to them: that we all (even people with degrees) are amateurs at history. There are so many different ways of engaging with the subject, and no one person can hold the "correct" way of interacting with it. That kind of attitude is what led to so much exclusion in the history field in the past! Engagement with history can be valuable just because it brings joy, fulfilment, and wonder to the person engaging with it, and I hope no one discourages you from that.

I, for one, love your blog, regardless of any "inaccuracies!" It's one that I consistently check up on, and I appreciate the work you do uploading wonderful pictures. (You probably see me in your notifications mass liking, because I don't want to miss anything you've posted while I've been away!) I hope any troubles clear up soon. Wishing you all the best! xx

🥰😍😘

Hello, dear friend!

Seeing your message was such a delightful surprise!

Thank you so much for supporting people whose hobby is history. You've said such true, important words. There are so many ways to interact with history...no one should be excluded.

I love seeing you in my notes, I always recognise your name! Thank you so much for being so sweet, kind and understanding 💐

I really, really appreciate your message!

Much love! ❤️
