“On tiptoes the redhead wouldn't even reach my shoulders; she is clearly too young to be a bride.

And the willowy girl is too forlorn. And I am too unwilling.

Yet here we are.”-@laurendestefanoauthor ‘Wither’ (The Chemical Garden trilogy ) a long overdue “redraw” of my first attempt at capturing them in 2019. also I realized about 3 days into this that I dressed them like a stoplight 🚦 oh well😅. I reread the first book via audible while drawing this the past couple of weeks and it’s still just so fun , seriously check them out if you haven’t read them 💖🙏

I just finished The Lost Ones by Lauren DeStefano and I have so many feelings. Admittedly, I’m not a fan of the ending but the book as whole got young Hook and Smee SO. RIGHT. Just…*chef’s kiss*. I’ll post more thoughts on it when I’ve had time to sort them out but in the meantime, I’ll just say that if you want a good feel for how “my” Hook is personality-wise (both how he was as a child and how he is post-redemption arc), this book is it. It’s not how I headcanon his backstory. But it’s definitely how I envision him as a person.

We can change so many times in our lives. We're born into a family, and it's the only life we can imagine, but it changes. Buildings collapse. Fires burn. And the next second we're someplace else entirely, going through different motions and trying to keep up with this new person we've become.

Are We Living In A Dystopian Novel?

Are We Living in a Dystopian Novel? When Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games series had a renaissance on TikTok in anticipation of the release of the latest film, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, it dawned on me how important and almost prophetic Young Adult (YA) dystopian literature has become. While any well-written book is capable of captivating readers, dystopian literature pushes the…

Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.

-Lauren DeStefano

僕らがこうして立って見ている《世界》は、おわりとはじまりをひとしく巡りながら、その一見してささやかな凡庸さのなかに、いつも祝福や労りをやさしく抱き、僕らにむかって大きく手を広げてくれているように感じられるのでした。

《Utopia》は地図に書かれてはいない。目指したり探したりするまでもなく、もしかしたらそれは案外すぐそばにあるのかもしれません。

Loss is a knowledge I'm sorry to have. Perhaps the only thing worse that experiencing it is watching it replay anew in someone else—all its awful stages picking up like a chorus that has to be sung.
