Another bit of silly fanart for @anangelcalledinquisitor's fic "Holding the World" and the sequel, "Raising Starlings"!

These go with the Moon one I did a bit ago!

Look, I'm not dead!

So I’ve been talking to the author of Holding the World fic on A03 and we happened to be talking about what would happen in the future chapters. The two twins went down into the maintenance tunnels to explore, despite it being STRICTLY off limits, and Moon finds them down there after discovering they were missing. Poor Reader and Moon are gonna have their hands full with these twins. @anangelcalledinquisitor

Holding my world in hands.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

i spent THIRTEEN YEARS waiting for an age accurate casting of percy jackson but now that it's here and i am no longer a child looking at heroes my age, i'm just plain HORRIFIED on behalf of these children.

Expertise can't help you here.

My first time drawing Sun or Moon! For @anangelcalledinquisitor and their amazing fic, Holding the World! The Y/N design is theirs as well!

I love this fic so much - this scene is from Chapter 25, where Y/N is recovering in the hospital after having the twins! The Moon cuddles were so soft, they just made my heart melt!

Feelings! Angst! A robot learning how to self-soothe their alter-self that they're forced to share a body with in order to continue their existence! All of this and more in the latest addition!

(I'm definitely not dead! ANd yes, I'm probably back to the posting at night again because that seems to be when I can just write and not hate everything that I put on the page, so there's that ANYWAY! Enjoy Sun and Moon being emotional little calculators!)

everyone should attempt an artisan craft at some point in their life because it would cut down the number of comments questioning why handmade goods like ceramics or textile craft or woodworking are so expensive

and this is an unrealistic expectation, but I think the attempt should include seeing through to the end at least one "finished" item, no matter how clumsy or lumpy your first attempts might be. like to me, there's a huge difference in perspective between attempting to learn how to crochet or throw a pot for a few days, acknowledging that it's harder than it looks and giving up, versus committing to finishing that scarf or clay pot you started and working on it for weeks while you painstakingly learn from your mistakes and grow attached to your project while also simultaneously hating it.

once you finish the latter, your perspective changes from "why does this crocheted blanket cost $200" to "holy shit I can't believe they're charging $200 for this crocheted blanket instead of $2000" because you may have known crocheting is hard, you may have easily agreed with the idea that "handmade goods take time and effort" even before attempting a craft, but now you know firsthand the absolute time sink it takes to make things. like yeah dude, that one item took you 2 months to make and probably wasn't even an ultra complex item if it was the first thing you made, now imagine attaching an hourly wage to that time to calculate the cost (and this is ignoring every nuance of the artistic element and master crafters being able to work faster/charge higher because of their years and years of experience)

anyway this rant has been motivated by a comment I saw on someone else's ceramic post asking why a mug was $60 and they understand it's handmade but $60 just seems overpriced, and bro do you know how long ceramics take to make. that mug probably took at minimum 3 weeks between how long it takes to throw the mug, dry partially, trim the mug, dry fully, bisque fire, wait a day for the kiln to cool, sand and paint and glaze, glaze fire, wait a day for the kiln to cool, take product photography of the mug, write description and list the mug online for sale, im not even including the skill needed to complete all these steps without the mug literally exploding or collapsing while also making it an appealing piece of art, aaaaaaaaaaaaa
