The first pic doesn't capture the shininess of the paint. This was my first time binding a fanfic or anything really and I made a lot of mistakes, but I learned a lot. The fic is a hicsqueak fic by @troiings and I've read it many times, it's sooooo good and in so glad they were cool with me binding it. Sorry it took so long, I took many breaks lol. Shout to @renegadepublishing and their discord server, everyone was super helpful and knowledgeable.
This is becoming tradition. And it’s nice looking back at what I’ve done and how I’ve improved.
A paired portrait of Tissaia, which I prefer to the Yennefer one simply because Tissaia has the best nightgown in the known universe. @clydethistles launched these into an amazing shortish post-Sodden fic which is worth the read.
This piece from a fic (’the hour of hush and wonder’) by @thegirl20: it was the fourth of a series of comic pages that I did. Fireflies and unicorns are a weakness of mine. Out of all the art this year, I think this piece got the most time spent on it.
@troiings gets two mentions of her fic here: this scene from her Stone chaptered fic - a moment in the gardens outside Ellander. You’ll need an AO3 account to read since her work is private. Go make an account and read it.
And this moment from her Florist modern AU fic. Ongoing! The colours and ‘where do plants go’ were tricky, and Tissaia’s position changed a bunch of times.
And not fic related, but more because I liked how it turned out: a quick drawing of Tissaia’s excellent cloak from the first season. Let’s hope that season 3 provides similar inspiration.
Ok, maybe I'm obsessed, but this song came on while I was in the shower and I was immediately pulled back into Orpheus backwards turned his sight by @troiings and I'm not crying, you're crying.
I don't really participate in the tww2017 fandom at all anymore but "drove me like a magnet (to the sea)" is a fic I still think fondly on from time to time. You have so many works I never got around to reading but damned if your work wasn't like, THE thing that kept me shipping hackle. (Also I started watching Abbot Elementary because of you haha. Not gotten very far yet but yes)
Thank you so much. Please know I’ve kept this in my drafts bc it made me feel so good. I’m very happy you think of me this way. Also I’m so happy I got you into Abbott bc it’s A+ tv.
when a powerful figure is reduced to kneeling. when the lord is forced to bow. when the exile stumbles into an unwelcoming bar. when the “beast” is chained by their horns. when a god is dragged behind their enemy’s chariot, a captive and trophy. when the loyal “guard dog” character is muzzled and the silver-tongued thief falls silent in horror.
that’s the shit
it’s about the contrapasso. the reversal of roles and the sudden, plunging terror of being unable to hide.
gay rep is like “kyaaaaaah!!! i like a boy but… i’m a boy >////<?!?!” meanwhile queerbait will be “it’s not a game for me troy. i’m seeing real lava because you’re leaving. it’s embarrassing and i don’t want to be crazy, but i am crazy so… i made a game that made you and everyone else see what i see. i don’t want it to be there either, i swear. i want you to be able to leave, but i don’t think the lava goes away until you stop leaving”
