This is the first post of my collaboration with the amazingly talented and super sweet @azunou on her Okaeri series linked below. I had such a blast working on these and I'm so thankful and honored that you were on board with the idea of me creating art for your stories. 🥺❤️
Please give her all the love and kudos for her wonderful AUs!
Queen of all magical creatures, stepmother of Layla and Frilla: Azu The Lion. 🔥❤️🔥
Dragon Name: Fire Starter.
The most authoritative person you can know. Her hair is made entirely of flame. The oldest living dragon. She used to be the guardian of the The Dragon heart/The Paragon. (The Paragon though not attached to her soul. Unlike Layla.)
Not to send in another best artist ask after the other (Mercedes) but which artist tackled Deirdre the best? (Kiyotaka Haimura for base and Legendary, azu-taro for Ballroom and Oukawayu for Resplendent)
No worries! This one is hard, because I think all the artists have good qualities to their Deirdre pieces, but I think Kiyotaka Haimura’s Legendary Deirdre was the best:
Their base art had a few issues, but they really brought it back with their Legendary artwork. Unique poses for each portrait, improved expressions, and their style is the most complimentary to Deirdre’s ethereal nature. And the CLOTHING, goodness. So much detail to the clothing, I love it.
Catch this Mirabel on my upcoming fic “The Butterfly Effect” on AO3 and Wattpad. Release date isn’t determined yet bc I’m quite busy with school. Just watch out for it!
You can also find the lore for this AU on my profile using the #mirabel’s harem tag.
Speed paint (is that what you call this?) My eyes and fingers gave up on it. 😗🏳️

Khidja - Something In The Water - still my top pick for beat-oriented electronic music, even if it did take me 5 months to notice their latest release
Khidja continue to develop their tripped out vision with their first full EP for Hivern since 2019's 'Impossible Holiday'. In 'Something In The Water' the Romanian duo presents three new tracks that drift between genres and moods through open minded studio experimentation. “The Future Has Disappeared” and “Back To Vid” rely on contrasting sound palettes and a smart use of the stereo field to build up tension while 'Science of Ghosts' is an expansive number of galactic electro-funk. The 12” features a stripped out mystical remix by Azu Tiwaline while the digital release includes two extra oddball dancefloor cuts.

magolor learns meta knight is a HUGE galacta knight fanboy. (thankfully for meta, that just means they have one more thing they can nerd about together)
I can't believe it 🥺 We're already at the end 😭
This was an amazing project to work on and I'm so happy I got the chance to turn the beautiful words of my dear @azunou into art 💕
As we often like to quote this, our dear Izuku said it best:
I really am <3
This last piece especially was super close to my heart so I hope the feelings come through for everyone else too.
