#cycle of shades
Text
As we enter Over the Garden Wall season, remember: Friends don't let friends pigeonhole Over the Garden Wall as being about death and the afterlife and Dante's Inferno.
#over the garden wall#otgw#autumn#fall#obviously there are shades of death and memory and the grave in otgw#but i don't think that the unknown is the afterlife and i think that saying 'otgw is about the afterlife' is too reductive#otgw is about living in the space of myth and folklore and stories#otgw is about characters living in cycles they are unwilling or unable to escape from#otgw is about our relationship to our loved ones: brothers and daughters and dearly departed#otgw is - and i cannot emphasize this enough - about the importance of frogs#otgw is whatever you see in it and whatever you take away from it and don't you dare take that away from someone#10k

A thing that continues to be insane to me is how every single artists rendition of Blue is SO valid to me. Like I’ve seen this girl drawn in so many different styles, vibes, appearances and races and every single time I’m like yup there’s my girl.
Meanwhile I’ll see fan art of another TRC character and half the time I’ll be like wow this artist is so talented but that’s not Adam fucking Parrish
#this is not me throwing shade at any artists btw!#it’s just pointing out that blue is a shapeshifter in my mind and I enjoy every single version of her in fan art#Adam Parrish is so tricky because depending on his hair colour and if he is in uniform I will mistake him for gansey or noah#trc#the raven cycle#maggie stiefvater#blue sargent#adam parrish

i had a lot of fun with the ‘clothbound classics’ stickers i made, and decided to branch out! these aren't precisely ‘classic’ novels (though i would argue the hunger games is a sufficiently biting social commentary that it will, with time, become one) but i like them, and i thought they’d look good in the same style

THANK YOU FOR ALSO LOVING GREYWAREN that book made me go from slightly obsessed with this whole little universe to being VERY obsessed, and I suspect I'll never stop being a menace about it <3 it did THINGS to my psyche
i know u just said some favorite scenes from greywaren, but as a fellow lover of that book, I just have to know: what are some other things u really love about it?
THANK YOU FOR ASKING. FINALLY. SOMEONE ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
declan lynch autistic child core. as a child i was exactly like child declan and it warms my heart.
jordan and declan are the best couple and if anyone tries to say they’re not u should shut up. (i love all the couples equally but i love them more).
hennessy is so fucking funny like what an icon. her hatred of pennsylvania is so special to me. i don’t even hate pennsylvania i just admire her commitment to the cause.
the thing with declan’s moth. enough said
also declan and adam bonding and (this is mister impossible but whatever) meeting up to have a Ronan Lynch Support Squad Consultation….yes.
THE MATTHEW-BRYDE DYNAMIC. “YOU ARE THE SADDEST DUDE IVE EVER MET!”
the juxtaposition of niall and ronan in the chapters at the barns. aghhhhhh. and the glimpses into niall’s past like…..i wouldn’t call it a redemption arc but the careful way he is humanized WITHOUT being redeemed. and seeing what ronan saw in him. but also what declan saw
DECLAN LYNCH GANGSTER ERA
on the seventh day the lynch brothers became friends again. BECAME FRIENDS AGAIN
but basically. if trc is a coming-of-age series where you see these kids delighting in and struggling with the magic on the edge of adulthood. the dreamer trilogy is like the loss of childhood innocence. cdth and mi are ROUGH at points. it’s much harsher feeling than trc, more heavy and sad and action-packed and suspenseful. and greywaren is like…the tentative peace you make at the end of the transition to adulthood. ronan’s finding his feet, seeing old friends, proposing. declan is settling down, letting go of his childhood wounds. it’s not an ending really but it’s where things start to be okay. and that’s how it feels. and that’s why (for all the plot holes and rushed pacing blah blah blah) it’s so. fucking. good.
AND CAN I JUST SAY. all the ppl who say that post-TRK pynch became “bad” and “toxic” and “isn’t as good as in trc” and “they shouldn’t be together anymore”……..i hate those ppl w my whole heart bc. i’m sorry, but if you read the scene in greywaren where their, like, celestial soul energies found each other in dreamspace and reconciled and apologized and forgave (in. disembodied dream soul form…whatever) and WERE WANTED THEY WERE WANTED THEY WERE WANTED and decided to love and help and heal one another and you STILL think that???? i just don’t know how to help you!!! sorry u can’t enjoy mature healthy relationships where people have gone through bad periods and so the relationship suffered for a while and then they recalibrated and decided to continue to grow together, but i’m built different :))
#ask#all the love in the world to anyone who disagrees no tea no shade it’s fine ur just wrong#greywaren#trc#ronan lynch#adam parrish#the raven cycle#pynch#adam and ronan

Coloring practice time
#a wee practice doodle of the boy working on a bunch of different things#Ive been trying to force myself to color more since I always hate how things look after coloring them#So I don't color and in turn never get any practice which then makes me hate my coloring even more#Its a vicious cycle#alastor hazbin hotel#fern's doodles#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel fanart#alastor#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel alastor#art practice#I don't like it but I do think my shading is getting a little better#Now if only I could figure out how to make dramatic lighting T^T

The thought of engaging in Fandom actually scares me so much because what if people think I'm some kind of unfunny weirdo creep. How do people do this. Other people's posts always make my day brighter, and just how does one even do that.
#i wanna make friends here#but im a scared wimp#anyways here are things i like for anyone looking to be friends#lockwood & co#the raven cycle#percy jackson#l&co#pjo#a darker shade of magic#httyd#and a lot more i cannot remember rn

I’ve come to the realization that Durza and Angela are sort of like opposite ends of a spectrum in a way. They are both mysterious and mischievous, but in different ways. As we know, Durza is a Shade. People somewhat know what a Shade is, the race of sort having a name and some characteristics pinned to it. However, people do not know everything about Shades, and they could be powerful beyond what we do know. And now, Angela. She appears human at first, but is very clearly something else. We don’t know WHAT she is. She’s spunky and powerful, but we have no idea what she truly is and is capable of. Shades are more known and grounded as a species in the knowledge of people, and they they are known to be malicious. Whatever Angela may be, we have no clue. And, of course, they are my two favorite characters.
#it is really interesting and I would love to hear the thoughts that others have on this little observation!#inheritance cycle#durza#eragon#Angela the herbalist#Angela#the inheritance cycle#christopher paolini#shades
