A Marvellous Light promotional art, part of a series for Freya Marske/@fahye's stunning The Last Binding trilogy. See the ones for book 2 and 3 here!

My intend was 'how can I pour as much of my love for the arts and crafts movement in one painting'. It's what Robin would have wanted.

(Please also check out this perfect Edwin song that I listened to for weeks while painting.)

my The Last Binding tag for more of these two softies, and my art tag.

Made this for The Ballad of the Prince and the General because I can't pass up drawing General Song Lan using sign language and having a little A-Qing as his translator. Big brain idea honestly.

Thank you so much for supporting the songxiao brainworms 🙏 (idk if you're here @apobynight)

Fandom is amazing we’re all just writing stories for each other and making gifs and video edits and fanart and for what? For sharing the joy of it, the love of it. So we can look at another human and see ourselves

The Crimson Lotus by @bonibaru

Pop quiz! You've got a fic that revolves around a secret identity. Do you create an inlay or a cutout on the cover?

Luckily, I had a ton of photomanips to pick from for the cutout portion -- nearly every chapter included a graphic or two. Which led to another design question: while typesetting the fic, did I want to sprinkle the graphics throughout like I've done with fanart in the past, or collect them all in one place?

The graphics were part of the summaries and/or author's notes, and they weren't always chapter-specific; plus, they occasionally had their own captions that worked great on AO3, but might've interrupted the flow of the story in a typical book. So I decided to go with the latter and create a "bonus materials" section that included the graphics, some info about outtakes/side chapters, and the chapter-by-chapter author's notes.

You can read "The Crimson Lotus" at the link above!

Do you guys remember how kidnap fantasies were popular on wattpad because young girls and queer teens were both made to feel shame at the thought of their own sexualities, so the fantasy of being kidnapped totally against their will was a way for them to engage with a romantic or sexual fantasy without feeling morally in the wrong for doing so? Added bonus that the fantasy involved being whisked away from repressive environments like home or school, right?

Finding out that Bram Stoker was in a sexless marriage and that scholars believe that he very likely was closeted gay puts the entire book into perspective as to WHY it reads EXACTLY like a self insert wattpad Dracula kidnap fic:

“I TOTALLY love my wife and would never do anything that an upstanding Good Straight Working Man wouldn’t do but oh nooo, big strong man with broad back and strong enough arms to carry me back to bed like a princess trapped me and claimed me as his, completely against my will 👉👈 But he protects me against the bad evil sexual women (who I assure you, I am TOTALLY sexually attracted to, as any straight man with a choice would be) but trust me, I do NOT want ANY of this. What’s that? The Count is not capable of feeling love? Would be a shame if I had the special ability to change tha-”
