One of the best-written, cleverest, and loveliest fics I've ever read. Yes the premise is SO crack but the realization is simply a masterpiece. Also it comes with amazing art. What's not to love.
That's it, darlings. This is finally it. So it ends, after three full years of smitten work. The last 50K is out there on A03 and there will be no more. Freude is over, and yet, never-ending.
The story of those eternal idiots will remain on the Archive and there it will wait for its audience of oddities to find it. It might take time, and it's just fine, time is hopefully what I have. I will be there to cherish the comments, even in 3 years from now.
I'll keep that blog rolling for as long as I have things to draw, write or say about those lovely idiots of mine, and after that, eh, who knows what else my obessive mind might dive into? Cheers to you all, close and far, chatty or silent, old or new. Find pleasure where it lies, fight for it if you must. Remember joy is resistance.
This drawing, and this moment, mean so much to me. I first drew this scene 14 years ago, and when I uncovered the old drawing a few months ago, I knew I had to redraw it. Old drawing and close ups are under the cut:
When I was 12 this was the best drawing I had ever done. The original concept was to have the map behind him because I don’t like doing landscapes and never have. For the new drawing, I decided against writing out the place names over the mountains for fear that it would be too cluttered. I also decided to change the shield design to a more Norman style incorporating his heraldry and I replaced the greaves with boots for purely aesthetic reasons. I KNOW he should be wearing a helm and it’s in the text I literally transcribed, but I do not care because seeing his hair is important to me. I *might* draw him in a helm in the future. If the universe wills it so.
More close-ups of the new drawing:
Dimensions are 18x24” and the media are watercolor, india ink, fineliner and gel pen. Writing the whole passage took over two hours and I got *so* emotional. fjggjgghkvhk *clawing at the bars of my enclosure*
I have no idea how many hours I spent on it in total but I have been tinkering on it for 3 months.
I was really afraid that I made him look too old by trying to render his facial expression. I am also concerned that I haven’t captured the full depth of his emotion. But I tried my fucking bestest and that’s all that one can do. If I am still a fingolfucker in another 14 years I will draw him again and it will be even better <3

One of the most unhinged couples in rock history.
JohnandYoko from a screenshot of "Get back" where they looked VERY cryptid-like.
In a moment of boredom and art block I decided to read "The demon in the wood" by Leigh Bardugo and now child!Aleksander lives rent free in my poor brain. And now I am searching references for "sliced corpses". Not creepy at all.

Work in progress that is taking me way too long, for my pet project with @amyma-ymamy.
the thing that sucks is that people love saying sleep early is good etc etc and yeah it is. I've seen some benefits before. but I think it sucks to ignore that late night is the only time with any freedom. I think it sucks to not acknowledge the dread in waking up and it's a work day again

Rumors of his death were much exagerated. 1hr sketch. May finish it decently in the future
