God, watching Casualty from series 1 has really made me realise how much I miss Megan.

“‘Your hair is so pretty,’ I mumble. ‘You’re so pretty.’ [Baz] runs his hand through my hair. A few rosebuds fall onto the mattress, then softly fade away. I think I’m going to kiss him. I think this is what everything’s been building up to.”

Carry on Countdown | Day Twenty: Flowers

This year I decided I wanted to honor the incredibly talented fic writers of this fandom, so I chose one fic per prompt to do an illustration for. I didn’t double up on authors so that I could do this for as many people as possible. I realized while planning this that there are way too many fics and authors that I love, and even after having picked 30 of what I consider some of my very favorites, I could have easily kept going. Please check the fics out if you haven’t, they all come highly recommended.

Baz "That Bitch" Pitch

After I did that sketch of Simon, I thought (naturally) that I'd sketch Baz. Simon was such a sweet character, showing up on the page of my sketchbook with little muss or fuss. Happy to be there.

Then there was Baz.

Fucking Baz. Baz, who couldn't just let me doodle him. Oh, no. No, I had to get him right. And he refused to be drawn the same way I did Simon, fairly carefree and loose-lined. Baz has standards. I barely got away with it being a sketch at all. Do you see how he's looking at me? Honestly.

I have to be done now, though. (No, you don't get a detailed jacket in this one, Baz. Sorry not sorry. Get back in my fanfic and we'll talk.)

baz pitch is. he's everything ever. why is nobody talking about this

hearty shoutout to the Rise and Fall of Simon Snow book series for being the only series that I can finish the trilogy and immediately reopen the first book. Thank you for your characters being lovely, thank you for your writing being spectacular, and thank you for all of the things you’ve helped me learn about myself while reading these.

@tsc-reader i hope you know that ever since you posted about ty's pov being like baz's from carry on, i haven't stopped thinking about it

Orange Juice | Snowbaz collab!!

I’m happy to bring you all some snowbaz that @orange-peony and I did for @erotic-grope-fest  😏😏🌈✨❤️

 This fic has a special place in my heart. 😌 Thank you, Peony for letting me draw for your gorgeous fic. 

Read Orange Juice on AO3 

just feeling the insanity in my bones.....

hello, g'morning. ☀️

so, i started a silly AU comic last night wherein simon is a fairy and baz is an art student. but please note: i am using the word comic very lightly. i don't know how to draw comics, but i do know how to draw characters standing in a pastel void space giving each other heart-eyes in the company of colour-coded talk bubbles. 😂

here is a sketch of one of the scenes! 🧚‍♂️

as another note: simon's wings aren't staying like... that. but i haven't decided yet how i want them to look and i needed something there, otherwise he was just a little guy floating and it looked so fucking goofy, LOL. i'm currently looking at dragonflies and hummingbirds as potential references? 🤔

n e way, i hope everyone has a fantastic day. Tag, you're it! 🪄 @cutestkilla @raenestee @hushed-chorus @thewholelemon @larkral @artsyunderstudy @blackberrysummerblog @captain-aralias @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @imagineacoolusername @ivelovedhimthroughworse @facewithoutheart @rimeswithpurple @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @jasonfunderberkerthefrogexists @nightimedreamersworld

i think about simon learning that the mage is his father everyday

like. they were just so happy, their sister and daughter had a BABY and he’s so wonderful and beautiful and he’s everything to them and the last bit of life of lucy was simon and they love him instantly and he’s magic and pure love

while simon is in utter and pure agony because the person who hurt him the most and caused him the most traumatic thing anyone could ever go through and still NEVER told him that he was his son. finds out that his abuser is his dad. and that simon KILLED him.

like i just want to give him the biggest hug ever and tell him it’s going to be okay. that chapter breaks me in half every single day i can’t do it

🐐✨ GOATOBER ✨🐐

Day 6: Yoga.

Die of fluffiness 💕 Yes is a kiss in the temple. You can go now and swoon 😭✨ also, the goat is not giving up!

I hope the pose make sense, Basil have a leg folded over his chest 🙈✨

“It’s the silent part that gets to me the most. No five year old should have mastered the ability to cry silently. I mean, I had, but my childhood was absolute shit. What has little Baz gone through to bring him to this state? I can’t think of anything else to do, so I sit down fully on the floor and draw him back against me.”

WIP Wednesday

Scheduled on: 2023-09-12

So this post, along with the rest of the fic, almost didn't happen. I'm perfectly fine now but for those of you interested in my hospital adventure Sunday night, I'll put it under the cut.

Now, I've just about wrapped up chapter two of 'Baz to The Past", I also will have plenty of free time next week, so depending on the progress of chapter three (and how much of chapter two I may need to rewrite) I may be able to start posting the chapters this Sunday on AO3, a whole week earlier than I initially expected.

??? POV

“Fine.” With a huff, Simon stands from his chair and marches out of the room slamming the door behind him. Once his footsteps have faded down the hall, Baz pivots on his heel towards me. “What in Crowley’s name was that? Who’s to say he’s not turning us in right now? You didn’t even seal the deal with magic, there's no consequence if he goes against it!”

Putting tags before the cut this time. IDK who's already posted so no pressure, generous tags to say hello, and if you're not consider yourself tagged if you wanna join.

Hospital story under the cut

So Sunday night after work I had a small edible, (I need to preface that it was small and half of what I'd usually take because people tried to blame what happened on the edible) Now I also hadn't eaten dinner yet even though it was 9pm and was craving Mcdonalds (I have a stack of free meal coupons because I work there) so my fiance drives us and our friend who was over to Mcdonalds, then we stopped at our friends place cause he ended up deciding to stay the night and wanted to grab some things.

Everything was fine up to this point, weeds kicking in, having a good time, we got back to the house and ate our food, I'm setting up my laptop to get some writing done, things are good. My fiance is watching youtube poops (just random funny youtube videos if you're not familiar) and normally I don't find them that funny but I was laughing cause I could see the tv from where I was setting up.

Now this is where things go bad quickly. I ended up laughing while trying to swallow my burger and choked, I still had food in my mouth as well as food in my throat as I had been swallowing when something in the video just hit me and made me laugh, so I could not breathe now and panicked, like just froze trying to swallow what was still in my mouth while trying to breathe.

I didn't need the Heimlich, it managed to go down on its own and I could breathe again but something didn't feel right. I felt like something was jammed in my chest as well as the back of my nose and it burned. I tried drinking to see if that would clear it like maybe it just felt funny because I choked. That was not it. After a minute I ended up throwing up and a bit of what felt stuck in my chest dislodged and I realized I legit had food stuck in my lungs.

I was immediately light-headed and felt my heart racing (though that was probably cause panic was setting in) so I went to the living room with the cat freaking out at my feet, told my fiance something wasn't right, threw up again, and then they helped me to the couch because I started losing consciousness.

I do not remember the drive to the hospital, I don't even remember getting there, I just have vague memories of a nurse pulling my hair to check if I was breathing, people screaming my name as I blacked out because I wasn't breathing, vomiting several times trying to clear my lungs, and apparently arguing about wanting a fudgcicle on the way home only to then vomit and pass out again.

I had to be informed about what happened afterward because I stopped breathing several times and had my lips turn blue. From the second they put me on the couch to the morning after when I woke up miraculously alive and in bed, I remember nothing.

Joked with @valeffelees that clearly the universe wanted to give me the good ole' fanfic writer "So I almost died" author note

Simon Snow TrollHunters AU Concept

Hi everyone. I have not escaped the Simon Snow fandom. It is dragging me down into the deepest depth of fandom hell. SO, huh, I decided to pair this hyperfixation with ANOTHER ONE OF MINE (not Pokemon... Y E T.) It's TrollHunters!! Because I freaking love this and my best friend held me at gunpoint to watch it with her a year ago :DD The following sketches helped ME drag her into reading the books so THANK YOU TROLLHUNTERS!

Anyways, pictures are worth a thousand words so BEHOLD!

I tried to slightly imitate the TrollHunters artstyle for this but it's a little difficult haha! Anywho, I'll stay vague about this AU as I don't want to spoil either franchises if you're not familiar with them (WATCH TALES OF ARCADIA/READ THE SIMON SNOW TRILOGY THIS IS A THREAT /j)

In this AU, most of the cast is Normal (well at least the main trio in here: Simon, Penelope and Shepard). Watford is a normal boarding school (... or is it?) near London. Just like in the books, Simon lives in care homes and stays at Watford over the school year (as Baz's roomie). The headmaster, The Mage (taking the role of Merlin TH), scouted him out and offered him a once in a lifetime chance of coming to Watford to study though it comes to no one's surprise that this was a decision fueled by ulterior motives (testing Simon's abilities before offering him the Trollhunter amulet). Shepard is not a student at Watford and just sticks to the group after seeing Simon in action accidentally (I like to think Trolls let him into their home without much fuss haha). Probably pops out of a bush or something to hang around the gang when they're at school (he's charming enough to have the professors let him even ENTER the class or something) As for Baz, as you noticed, he is a Changeling (and, just to make you laugh, is replacing Steve Palchuk OF ALL CHARACTERS)! I thought that's what would be the closest to his whole condition as a vampire in the books. Simon's accusations seem wild but HE TURNS OUT TO BE RIGHT (love that for him). Plus it'd mean that he is, once again, on the other side of the war. Well shit. Ebb replaces Blinky :)) I think she's the closest to a healthy mentor figure Simon ever got so that fits!

I just want to say, if I DO write that fanfic, it'll be a SPOILER FEST for both of these. I tried to keep all of this relatively spoiler-free and I hope I did a relatively good job haha!

Is Spy your favorite TF2 mercenary?

yea!!! But specifically the BLU one lol (yes i acknowledge my taste is shit but by god that is my fucking blue thing!!!)

(Cue my mutuals booing me in the bg 😔💔)
