Hi! X and K for the ask game?

Helloooo!

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom

Just One Bed gets me every time! I am also always down for a country house murder mystery but idk if that’s a fanfic trope lol

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Zuko from ATLA. That [spoiler] at the end of season two omg. But then season 3!! Also “That’s rough, buddy”?? I love him.

#ask meme #zuko here

N and S!! these are so fun!

Oh man ok these required some thinking!

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

The thing about drarry & hp is there’s so much art/writing I feel like it’s really easy to find basically anything lol. But even if they’re abundant I would never say no to more:

1. Ghost stories

2. Idk how to categorize this but wizard crafting? Wandlore? What kind of cool stuff do wizard artisans make?? Can they MacGyver a wand or cauldron out of random sticks and dirt?? Love a fic where Harry is like “well I was stranded but I found a stick and apparated and hoped for the best”

3. Prongsfoot. I am a huge sap for Prongsfoot. Especially one-sided prongsfoot angst lol

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

Lmao does the example count if it’s something I drew? I have this one headcanon that Draco has never thought of himself as a cat person but if Harry had a cat Draco would be calling it his son and spoiling the hell out of it.

Alphabet ask game!

T and X for your ask game 😁

Hi hi!

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

There aren’t really any headcanon hills I would die on, I’m pretty weak-willed lmao. I guess maybe Snape-as-Draco’s-godfather is not really my jam? The Malfoys don’t seem like the kinda people who’d pick someone so common to be their son’s godfather lol.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom

Just! One! Bed! Gets me every time

Alphabet ask game!

Hiya quail! For the letter ask game how about R or U! :)

Winnnoooowww hii! 💖

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

Harry and Ron 5ever! His first real and bestest friend 😭

Also my husband got me watching Doctor Who this year and I can see why everyone is nuts for Donna & 10, the friend chemistry is off the charts!!

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

In no particular order:

Richard Gansey III (The Raven Cycle) - this 17 year old boy is friends with an elderly pigeon fancier and obsessed with a 14th century Welsh king?? Love him

Draco Malfoy (HP) - what a weenie (affectionate)

Anya Forger (Spy x Family) - her child logic kills me dead, she makes the best faces, and she is hands down the best Spy x Family character

Alphabet ask game!

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

Behind the Scenes ✨

I was going through my files and I have a bunch of rough sketches and notes for my comics and I thought it might be fun to post them? I always love seeing people’s processes and early drafts! By sharing these I guess I run the risk of thinking “oh maybe that other version was better…” but I still find this stuff really interesting!

Usually I start by brainstorming in a notes app (sometimes there’s a ton of terrible iterations, writing is so hard, how do writers do it?!) and then I do rough drawings for layout/expressions (sometimes with additional notes to myself.) I’ll often adjust the dialogue at this stage for clarity or to make it funnier (to me) and then I ink and color the final version (you can see the final version of these sketches here!)

Also

Bonus Hermione from this trope mashup:

Would love to see other people’s behind the scenes stuff 👀
