Sleeping Beauty and Princeps Charming.

[Image ID: A picture of a woman with white hair and a pink dress asleep on a bed with blue and floral sheets. They reach out with their right hand and hold the left arm of a knight wearing armor, a blue dress, and carrying a great sword in their left hand. The knight is kneeling beside her. Morning glories grow behind the bed and up a large trestle window against a night sky /.End ID]

Gonna try to work on my image IDs more, at least for my original work! I don't have a lot of practice but it doesn't hurt to make things accessible.

ANYWAY this is most likely my last piece for 2023, a tribute to one of my favorite movies/fairytales growing up. The art direction of Sleeping Beauty will stick with me forever. I also think this time of year gets me in a fairytale mood.

fatima farheen mirza is so insane for the way she has written about grief. “he wondered, on the drive, how they would address what had happened. and now he sees it is as easy as saying ‘knew’ instead of ‘know.’” and “only when she spoke of abbas did she avoid looking at him. and only when seeking to comfort her could he look directly at her.” and “each time she returns to the conversation the memory loses some of its certainty. he is already becoming a long time ago.” like hellloooooo as easy as saying knew instead of know!!!!!! he is already becoming a long time ago!!!!!!! u are insane for writing that!!!!! seek help seek help pay for your crimes i will never be the same after reading that

#i cannot convey to u guys how much this book THOROUGHLY wrecks me #like is destroys me. every single time i think about every time i read any part of it i am in ruins #a place for us #fatima farheen mirza #seedpost

My May & June Reads

If We Were Villains, M.L. Rio - Fun but a bit too long! A young adult/coming-of-age version of The Secret History.

True Biz, Sara Nović - I really enjoyed this YA-adjacent novel, which is told from the perspective of multiple characters at a school for the deaf. The chapters are broken up with mini how-to and history lessons on American Sign Language, so you get to learn while reading a truly gripping story.

Teenager, Bud Smith - This reads like Hemingway and Bukowski decided to co-write a teenage love (?) story. Insane and fun! Great writing. It was a nice break from my usual books.

These Precious Days, Ann Patchett - It's an Ann Patchett essay collection—obviously it gets five stars. Gosh I just love her writing. My favorites: every essay about her dad, the essay about her mom, the essay about her extremely beautiful nature friend, the essay about why Snoopy is her writing mentor, the essay about her not-so-great experience in her MFA program. I read the titular essay and the one about her three dads when they were originally published online; I decided not to reread them but they 're amazing. My most favorite essay was the one about her decision to not have kids. Wowowow.

Things to Look Forward To, Sophie Blackall - I am such a fan of Sophie Blackall's illustrations, I have two of them framed in my bathroom (I recommend hanging art in your bathroom!). This is a nice book to flip through at the end of a long day—it is indeed a list of "things to look forward to" with personal stories woven throughout.

A Place for Us, Fatima Farheen Mirza - Absolutely devastating. I loved it, I cried. Don't read about it in advance, just go read the actual book.

"Still, she tries. Maybe only out of a fear of disappointing Baba, maybe a desire to make him proud. But there is also that singular pleasure of receiving her projects and tests and seeing that A+ next to her name, reading comments from her teachers in the margins. And nothing compares to the promise of stepping into a classroom knowing she will step out a different person. That she could learn something that would change the way she saw the whole world, and her place in it. There is even the private hope that if she does work as hard as she absolutely can, there is a chance she will be able to sway the outcome of her life, and maybe one day a door will be presented to her, and an opportunity to walk through it."

-Fathima Farheen Mirza

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

Doodles of River

Did you know? Hats and Floriography are important parts of Fairfolk culture!

I'm trying to work more on drawing my characters, more than once, in a single pic lmao. I'm also trying to use the chance to drop little worldbuilding buts about Terrarium, the setting I've been working on for my characters and story.

#sansmaeda #sansmaeda wedding #undertale #danganronpa #nagito komaeda #sans undertale #meme post #I swear there's a reason why not everyone attended in nagito's side #no one wanted to go in the first place #sdr2 #fanart #so for the record: #Ibuki DID attend but could't stay put for 5 minutes so she got bored and left #Teruteru is still pretty angry and bitter at Nagito #Hiyoko couldn't care less and thought it was gross #Akane saw no reason to go since her main source of food wouldn't go (Teruteru) #And spoiler alert but Chiaki's fucking dead lmao #she would've gone tho #probably #Also pretend nagito's using really good foundation on his hand cuz I totally forgot about his metal arm
