Tamlin Week 2024, Day 4: (a belated) Happily Ever After

@tamlinweek

We stood atop the hill in silence, until the setting sun gilded the house and the hills and the world and Lucien called us to dinner. ~ A Court of Thorns and Roses, ch. 45

This was inspired by the meadow scene in Studio Ghibli's "Howl's Moving Castle", hence the Ghibli-esque illustration style I went for here.

Many pro-Tamlin fans prefer to think of ACOTAR as a standalone book, and I am no exception. So my contribution to the "Happily Ever After" theme is them walking off into the sunset at the end of book 1. I hope you like it.

I am the artist. Please do not repost without permission.

#i know this is incredibly late #it's been a really rough week #i didn't want to complain on main #so i just laid low for a while #but i still wanted to contribute more to the event #so here you go #i debated over whether or not to stick to canon by portraying feyre's tattoo #in the end i decided to keep it #and show tamlin embracing it #i also gave him a scar #any castlevania fans may recognize the alucard influence #but i wanted to highlight the fact that tamlin did get stabbed so that feyre could win the final trial #and it was with an ash dagger #that's gotta leave a mark #so while sjm plays loosey goosey with her magic rules #i used some artistic license to give him a scar #so there #and as you can see #feyre's hand is on his heart #where she can feel it beating #the end #whew #feylin #tamlin #tamlin week #day 4 #my art #my fanart

i think. for me. it's hard to get really really into dune because the anti-colonialist narrative is fighting the orientalism of it all. and the orientalism has hands

#just saw dune 2. artistically speaking its incredible #and i like ridiculousscifi and political drama #its. the rest of it all #also yt fans can be SO condescending about it #dune #bidoof thinks

This is a genuine innocent ask

Since ofmd is officially over, where does all the money donated go? This is not just a question for the fandom bit in general when ur raising money for a renewal but it fails.

so i mean, in general when a renewal campaign "fails" we dont usually get the showrunner saying outright "yeah the show isnt getting picked up, im sorry guys." like im pretty sure that most of the time, money that's raised for a campaign like this just gets collected and spent without there ever being an official announcement from the showrunners that fans should stop campaigning.

as far as the money that was raised for the first billboard back in january, all the money that was collected is long gone now bc it was spent on the billboard, the truck, the plane flyover, and the charity donations. and like, everyone who donated to that campaign knew that's where the money was going, and they knew there was a chance that the renewal campaign wouldn't work. so even tho the money they raised is gone, the ppl who donated technically got what they paid for.

when it comes to the second billboard, i have no idea what the plan is there. as far as im aware that fundraising effort is (was??) still ongoing, so djenks saying it's over kinda throws a wrench in that process. im not actually associated w the ppl collecting money for the second billboard, nor have i personally contributed to that campaign (or to the first campaign either, ftr), so i have no input or insight as to what's gonna happen w that money going forward. if u want more concrete info abt what's going on with that money you'd wanna ask @saveofmdcrewmates

from what i can tell tho, there are a few options as to what they could do with the money: they could ignore david's message and run the billboard as planned, they could forget the billboard and donate the money to charity, or they could run the billboard but change the messaging to something else. they might even be able to give some of the money back to the people who contributed?? that might be hard tho, idk what platform they were using to collect the money and i have no idea if they're even able to like, refund people. idk if the people who donated would even want their money back, or if they would rather the money still be used for the billboard, or be repurposed for something else. like i said, i didnt donate and i have nothing to do with the ppl raising the money so it rlly doesn't matter to me at all what happens.

#ofmd #our flag means death #save ofmd #ask #anon #mine #txt #og #s3 renewal hell #for the record also. when it comes to ppl criticizing the fans who DID choose to donate their money to the renewal efforts... #i think if u want to laugh abt how it's a waste of money that's fair. god knows i do the same thing #like im always gonna roll my eyes over ppl spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on like. funko pops. or sports betting. #or gambling in general. or tickets to see an artist that i think sucks. or expensive and ugly sports cars. or golf equipment. #or high-end fashion that's incredibly boring. or home decor that's as bland and impersonal as possible. #but that's bc these things do not appeal to me and seem like a waste of money bc i dont care abt them #im not gonna sit here and get mad abt how these ppl are spending money on shit i think is stupid so that makes them Bad People #like frankly it's fucking stupid to try and take the moral high ground over ppl having interests that they spend money on #laugh abt how u think ppl's taste sucks but if u try and make it some sort of moral issue then you're getting in too deep #i know it probably makes u feel superior to act like ppl spending their money on stupid shit are Bad People #but from the bottom of my heart: grow up #stop being so catholic abt everything jfc

really hard to agree with online sentiment that "steven universe was actually good" even tho i agree--it was a very high-quality show! i liked it!--bc every time i see a post saying that, they gotta follow up by saying "every criticism was bad-faith nonsense based on nothing." [turning on my megaphone] POINTING OUT ANTIBLACK RACISM IN THE SHOW + ITS PRODUCTION IS NOT BAD-FAITH NONSENSE!!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DISMISS THE CONCERNS OF BLACK FANS JUST TO SAY YOU LIKED THE SHOW???

#myaa #childrens media discourse is INSANE #bc this 'it's all good' or 'it's all bad' is just so specific to childrens media #can we get more horror fans to talk abt childrens shows instead??? #can we get more people who r willing to say 'this work was incredibly influential and made interesting artistic decisions. #'it was also deeply ableist and racist in a way that undermines the experience of engaging with it.' #and like. be willing to discuss what those biases *do* in the work #i know thats too much to ask bc ADULTS in CHILDRENS MEDIA DISCOURSE online simply dont know what the word nuance means #NOTE: not unreasonable to say 'this work is racist and therefore i do not think of it as high-quality' #bc like. bigotry and bias in a work is not separate from the work itself. not exempt from consideration

Every day I log on and see Warriors fan artists making stories that are infinitely more complex, emotional, and sophisticated than the source material ever has been. It's incredible how such a error-riddled, flat, and continually disappointing series has led to such incredible creative vision.

#warrior cats #warriors #seriously y'all are incredible #you're out here making multifaceted trans cats when the Erins can't even let a female character just exist #increasingly I'm seeing stuff that's just straight up xenofiction with hardly even a WC skeleton #that's still considered a WC fancomic or fan art because of little more than naming conventions and cats living in groups #it's so so great that these tremendous artists have been so inspired but honestly... it's just incredible #how a series that I loved dearly during childhood has unequivocally inspired better art despite that same source material being mediocre #especially as it progressed past Firestar's main arc #*anyway* lol #keep up the good work #I swear I also can't keep up with all the clangen blogs I want to but my poor little brain just can't keep them all separated

finally. after lurking for an ENTIRE YEAR in the DCA fandom, I've finally started drawing them! :-]

#WIP #it's also sort of the first digital paintings i've done in about a year #got busy with life and such #lately i've been thinking about how incredible this fandom is #and how much more meaningful this character is to me and others because of the fancontent made about them #shoutout to fan artists and writers u fueled my brainworms through the long cold winter #fnaf dca #fnaf moon #fnaf sun #fnaf fanart #fnaf daycare attendant #dca fanart #um so the story here is that u get overzealous in sticking stickers and googly eyes on their face #they act annoyed and get u back for it but they don't take it off #i have a fic drafted at 5k currently but it's not even halfway done help #when will these be finished?? HMMM stay tuned #pls interact w this i need attention like i need air

@moxidi-fanarts-and-sketches's Ocartober 2023, day 9

Guard

I thought it'd be cute to make a sort of parallel drawing to an older one, especially since it ties very nicely into their arcs (especially Rin's)

#oc #ocartober #inktober #digital art #art #artists on tumblr #winx club #winx oc #fan oc #helena aeso #rin sasaki #looked at my old art of helena last night and man!!!! #it's insane to see how much i've improved in just a few years #the way i draw characters - they just have so much more weight and depth to them now #also it's incredibly funny how i kept coloring helena's skin darker and darker without noticing for months/years #now she undeniably has darker skin but in her first drawings she just had a tan lmao #literal reverse of what happened to flora and layla...

#will delete later; #i finally finished the Pluto anime #good solid adaptation of a manga i also enjoyed #i highly recommend it esp if you want quality sci-fi anime without fan service and slapstick #and if you've never read or watched an urasawa naoki work then get on it!! #well no pressure lol but with both of urasawa's monster and pluto more widely available internationally there has never been a better time #to read/watch a story written by a master storyteller and one of the greatest manga artists #it's a shame that pluto never got much promotion since it's such an incredible show with superb animation #urasawa breathed new modern life into the great osamu tezuka's astro boy with a fantastic retelling for new generations to enjoy #now go watch pluto!

If you send an artist or writer a request and they fulfill it please reblog

If you send an artist or writer a request and they fulfill it please reblog

If you send an artist or writer a request and they fulfill it please reblog

And people wonder why artists and writers get disheartened, discouraged, and stop posting. When you're excited to get a request, then spend hours, days, or longer on it, to be met with only a 'like' from the requester and everyone else it hurts. We are human beings. We have lives, sometimes busy and hectic ones, outside of our screens and often have precious little free time so when we pour so much of that into trying to make others happy and we get the equivalent of a smile, a nod, then walking away in silence it feels as if we've wasted all that time. Hitting reblog literally takes no more time or effort, and lets others see our work too.

We want people to see our work. We want to engage with them. We want to make others smile, laugh, gasp, cry, yell at their screens, key-smash and send us all caps messages like 'HOW COULD YOU'. We do all this for ourselves yes, but also out of love. We love the source material, we love our fellow fans, and we dearly want to share that love.

But.

We can't if no one sees it. A garden can't grow without water, and a fandom can't thrive without caring for it's contributors.

#it needs to be said #support artists #support writers #support fandoms by reblogging please #support fanfic writers #support fan artists #i am once again asking #yes this is personal #but also I've seen so many incredibly talented folks get no support and it sucks

sorry but why are taylor swift fans

#like yes i am a taylor swift fan also but. just. #twitter is full of people being just. so. So #fully grown adults too #like i hate to break it to u but if you stan the biggest musical artist in the entire world there’s gonna be a lot of people competing for #tour tickets. and trying to be like ‘well i’ve been a fan for longer therefore i deserve them more’ is uh. shitty of you! #can’t believe we spent decades being like wah middle aged men gatekeeping music only for young women to turn around and do it to each other #and this is not to even mention the people who think taylor swift herself could. do something about the ticketmaster situation??? #like yes it’s incredibly shitty yes ticketmaster needs to burn in hell but like. besties. writing a notes app letter like #“pls taylor i’ve been a fan for ten years can u do something about ticketmaster” is not going to do shit #what is she gonna do in the face of a monopoly that controls whether she tours or not #like pls just one grasp on reality i beg #shush emma
