challengers written by justin kuritzkes

i don’t see enough people talking about the fact that tashi lost EVERYTHING. tennis was her only skill. tennis was her oxygen. tennis woke her up in the morning. she finds safety and control in art. she finds challenge in and lusts after patrick. but tashi is in LOVE with tennis and the dynamic of every aspect of it. to have your entire future painfully die before your eyes is enough to make anyone toxic. obviously i’m not excusing anything but it’s so important to discuss why tashi acts the way she does because there is SO MUCH history and layers there. she is as much as a person as art and patrick.

jace has persuaded clary to start giving him drawing lessons but he seems to always turn it into some sort of competition😅

i wonder what are they going to draw today…characters by @cassandraclare 💛

zoya learning that she is worthy of love is the single most beautiful, most heartbreaking thing i have ever read about in a book ever. like she is just this girl who's been betrayed by all the people who were supposed to protect her over and over again to the point where she felt like she had to turn herself into this heartless monster who only cared about herself just so she wouldn't feel that loss again and then she finally meets someone who loves her unconditionally and all she wants is to be with him but she has a such strong sense of duty that she thinks it'll never happen or that even if it does he'll come to hate her eventually and watching her learn that there is love in the world and that she is deserving of it is just so fucking emotional and leigh did such a great job conveying it in this essay i will-

This is the latest Sketch-a-Wish voted by my lovely Patreon members for March! Featuring Jacks head-bonking gently encouraging Evangeline, hoping she'll remember *something*. One of my favorite scenes from A Curse For True Love! There are two very subtle symbolism I threw in here (one is the title referencing the scene in the book, the other, in the bg for its cultural meaning) to fuel more angst. ✨fireElmo.gif ✨ ----- Stephanie has graciously allowed me to add this artwork to my shop collection of licensed prints, already up via the links in my bio! ----- Hope you all have a pleasant week! :)

Morning Doodle: “Be safe,” Zoya whispered. Be safe. As if those words could cast some kind of spell. “The only danger to me will be an overabundance of menu planning,” said Genya with a laugh. (Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 11)
