“You Know How Long It Took me To Save That Money?” “Exactly! Which Is Why A little Woman Of Your
“You Know How Long It Took me To Save That Money?” “Exactly! Which Is Why A little Woman Of Your

“You know how long it took me to save that money?” “Exactly! Which is why a little woman of your background would have had her hands full, trying to run a big business like that. No, you’re better off where you’re at.”

What Tiana has taught me, quite sadly (and probably what Disney didn’t really intend) was that hard work wasn’t good enough to overcome systemic racism. Tiana got a feel good ending, but I feel like her story has been told many times in real life without a happy ending. There are people who work extremely hard, but never being able to catch up due to the color of their skin.

So here is Tiana, muscles tense with labor, tired and contemplative, and struggling against the system that prevents her success.

This is probably the most symbolic of all the Disney paintings I’ve done so far - the verticality of the walls, the position of her shadow looming over the segregation signs, Tiana sitting right between the divide, and the nearly imperceptible lean of her body to the right.

Tiana is the ninth in my Disney Woman Series.

Prints are available at my shop!

Oliver Wood and Percy Weasley

Gives nose/forehead kisses:

Percy, actually.  Even if he is less demonstrative of his affection compared to his family, and less fond of PDA than Oliver, he did grow up in a large, loving family and it’s natural for him to show it.  In private his “business” facade fades into soft touches and frequent kisses

Gets jealous the most:

Percy.  Though he really tries not to, he can’t help comparing where he is in his life to others (including Oliver sometimes).  Percy doesn’t get jealous of other people regarding Oliver though.  (But Oliver does, low-key.  He sees all the guys checking Percy out even if Perc doesn’t notice.)

Takes care of on sick days:

Oliver takes care of Percy because he becomes the most incapable baby ever (and Oliver suspects he makes it worse by giving in but also really doesn’t care)

Drags the other person out into the water on beach day:

Oliver!

Brings the other lunch at work:

Oliver.  Practically that just makes more sense… And he misses Percy when he isn’t training yet Perc still has to work.  Though Percy has been known to randomly drop by practices a couple times a season.

Tries to start role-playing in bed:

They both list it when they’re thinking of fun new things to do, but neither of them can stick to their roles, they end up laughing about it and it doesn’t become a thing

Embarrassingly drunk dancer:

OLIVER

Firmly believes in couples costumes:

Oliver.  Percy doesn’t fight him too hard on it though.  He does for show, but he’s happy to make Oliver happy

Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas:

Percy

Makes the other eat breakfast:

Percy when Oliver isn’t training or in season

Remembers anniversaries:

Percy

Brings up having kids first:

Neither; it’s kind of just known that they enjoy their nieces and nephews, and Oliver loves coaching kids but they’re happy to not have any of their own

Kills the bugs:

Oliver

First to define them as a couple:

Oliver  (Percy had been wondering and unsure but had no idea how to bring it up without being awkward but then they’re at a party and Oliver starts introducing him as his boyfriend. “You didn’t think I was going to let anyone here think they have a chance of stealing you from me, did you?” he says when Percy gives him a delightfully surprised look.)

Who hides their guilty pleasures longer:

P E R C Y

Snorts while laughing:

Percy

<3
