jack and jill were real and they live Together in a big house in candyland in california but Their house burned down last year when they Ran away in fear from the thing only they could see and hear no one ever knew they lived there and they didn’t Have any friends or family or connections at all so everyone gave up and stopped looking for them and then they All forgot.
one of the funniest sections of pliny the elder's natural histories to me is in book 30 when pliny excitedly says that moles are the animal that magicians love most and then goes on to explain that it's because moles are creatures becursed and despised by nature itself
Sorry I swear I'll post less about these major brands but it genuinely enrages me that at some point in Berrie's design process, someone had to have said that their improvement on her design was to:
a) Make her white
and b) Remove her textured hairstyle
Loxx has the exact same hairstyle that they refused to give her, MGA had zero fucking excuse for this shit.
So reminder once again: FUCK Rainbow High, FUCK MGA, and support smaller black-owned doll lines that actually care about representation.
A piece I made for the start of 2024, I just really like these two so much. They mean a lot!
And regarding this piece, I also have an active DTIYS (Draw This In Your Style) on my IG relating to this art! There's prizes and everything however I'll only accept submissions if on IG platform, I won't be able to monitor several platforms to ensure the prizes. Nonetheless, enjoy the piece ^_^
There’s something so important about Gillion - who never heals himself, who rushes into danger, who hides his wounds- facing death and realizing he isn’t unafraid as he was raised to be. He uses his magic on himself to help with the exhaustion, to keep his life intact. And still he tries to comfort Jay and Chip while he’s coherent, being realistic about his chances but refusing to make it painful. Wanting their possible last moments to be light, to be about seemingly inconsequential things, small favorites that still mean the world to him purely because they’re Chip and Jay’s favorites. And then when all is said and done, he makes a raccoon for Jay. He talks about raspberries for Chip. He uses his last saved up arcane energy to try desperately to stay awake, and it works, and it saves him in the final hour.
It’s just. There’s something about how he hasn’t had a chance to rest since the Feywild, really, truly rest. How this whole time he’s been down on himself and taking extreme risks. And now, at what might be the end of it all, he realizes he doesn’t want to die. He wants to live. And not to be able to save others, not to fulfill his destiny, not out of obligation to anyone else - but purely for himself. For all the little things. And though it’s not quite healing in the literal term, his nearly final act was spent trying to save himself - and it worked.
