We're at it again! I do tag the artists, and all TLT art deserves attention! So please, look them up and give them love. Anything without a name on the neck is an original design. There will be at least two more sets of six.

Ahhh! Here’s the artwork I commissioned by @eerna for my fic, Game Night! This takes place during Chapter 35 and is a major chapter for their development :)
eerna was SUPER great to work with, and they had a fantastic vision for this artwork 💯 I’m so happy I commissioned them
IO IT’S STILL YOUR BIRTHDAY FOR LIKE 30 MORE MINUTES IN FLORIDA. I love you to the moon and back. Thank you @eerna for being an incredible friend. Here’s to another beautiful birthday and many more to come~
15. Did you read any books that were nominated for or won awards this year (Booker, Women’s Prize, National Book Award, Pulitzer, Hugo, etc.)? What did you think of them?
gosh, i just keep scrolling these award lists and wondering "where the hell did these books come from, because i did not hear about any of them." anyway, not really, except for The House of Rust by Khadija Abdalla Bajaber which won the fucking Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction everyone please clap. i think "What Moves the Dead" by T. Kingfisher and "Bunny" by Mona Awad got nominated for some stuff too, deservedly. "No One is Talking About This" by Patricia Lockwood is also really really good and won the 2022 Dylan Thomas prize.
17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?
"Thistlefoot" by GennaRose Nethercott very nearly lost me in the middle, but by the end i was sobbing my eyes out. i have deadass not cried so hard over a non-tlt book in years. the way all the plotlines converged at the end was incredible and i forgave much of the filler preceding it.
The crosses are self-explanatory but let me explain the half ones:
I don't think EVERYONE else is wrong about Yato, but I often see him mischaracterized as a super dominant, possessive, brooding type because of his dark past, even though he's never liked killing people. And his possessiveness (clinginess) is more of a fear reaction (because he's lost so many people he cares about) than a desire for power or control over them.
As for the half mark on being a horrible person, Yato starting bad and getting better is the point of the story, so I hesitate to simply write it off as "he's a bad person lol!"
Who do you use for your references for lunar chronicles characters? Thanks 🤍
hmm to be honest i dont have all 9 main character references yet, bc im so particular about how i imagine them to look,, so far i have everyone apart from kai and wolf😭 i havent seen someone that looks how i imagine them on my pinterest yet :( but as for the others, i think ive posted a lot of them before but this is who i have so far :
oh also some of these characters have tweaks i make to the references when i draw them
cinder:
tweaks: metal limbs, bangs, lighter brown hair, bangs, more tan
scarlet:
tweaks: cut off pinkie finger if im drawing her post book 4 (if i remember loll) , fuller cheeks, hair more curly, eyebrow slit because its fun idc that its not canon😩
cress:
tweaks: freckles in the rare occasion that i remember, wavy hair, tan if im drawing her after she leaves the satellite, looooong tangled hair if shes still on the sattelite
winter :
i dont have an exact winter match so i use these two and kinda merge them
tweaks: 3 face scars, very curly hair
iko:
tweaks: blue eyebrows and braids, colour changing eyes depending on vibes ig, i tend to default to gold
kai:
STILL PENDING😓 i imagine him to look like that one laura hollingsworth drawing of him but i havent find an irl person that looks similar enough to him yet :(
thorne:
tweaks: metal fingers if its post winter, darker brown hair, stubble if he's in prison or in the desert
^ honestly this one is all in theory, i dont even remember the last time i drew him loll
wolf:
ALSO STILL PENDING😓😓😓😓😓 its kinda difficult with him bc i have to figure out his usual design and his post- wolf surgery look😩 hes so so so hard to draw
jacin:
tweaks : literally none, this is the most jacin looking person ive ever seen
lollll actually this has made me realise how unoften i draw most of these characters😭
bonus because i have more references for people who arent in the main 9
evret:
tweaks: nothing major, i think that in fairest his hair is described as coily so theres that
torin:
tweaks: torins like in his 50s or 60s,,, so older looking, some grey hairs
i had ones for sybil and aimery but upon rethinking, i actually dont think they look like the references i picked out so i'll leave them off here
thinking back to my tlc posts in 2015-16 i was soooooo valid for calling kai “emperor foot fetish.” like i genuinely thought i was being dramatic or dragging tf out of the foot jokes but no. even in retrospect kai is still unhinged for hoarding her foot like he is no less insane than i remember him being like 7 (BARF) years ago
Look, ok. We've really held it together here on Tuesdays since The Last of Us began. You've not had a peep from us on the topic. With one week left, we're getting close to the end, and no one knows what we'll do after that. So here, finally, is us yelling about your fanart. Please enjoy this very long (yet far too short) post collecting a fraction of your incredible TLOU fanart. What a time to be on Tumblr.
Let's ignite the hourglass and watch the way it bends.
I will keep your name under my tongue until it ends.
It's here! I wrote a song about Griddlehark (specifically Harrow the Ninth) from The Locked Tomb. I'm brainrotted to my core. The EXTRAORDINARY art is by my friend @eerna who also has tons of incredible works for TLT aside from this one. I hope you enjoy!
