He looked away again as he twirled the flower in his fingers. “You know when we were talking last week, I told you about why I agreed to the engagement with Frigga?” “About the future? “Yeah, and I said that I’ve been trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go?” “Yes.” “And who I should do it with?” Rosalind stared at him, unsure what he was trying to say. Marcus turned back to them, took up Rosalind’s hand one more time in one hand, raised it to his lips, and kissed it. His own hands were trembling. Finally, he held out the camellia to them with his free hand and asked in the quietest voice they’d ever heard from him, “Will you marry me?” (Blood and Thorns, Chapter 17)

Alright, one more painting to go after this one and all 18 chapter paintings will be uploaded! It's really amazing to me that I finished such a huge project, each painting represents approximately 15-20 hours of work, more in some cases, and once the last chapter's is uploaded, I will have an update of the cover too! Maybe I'll have some fan art after that, we'll see, but my work ism going to be primarily focused on Blood and Thorns and its universe. But!! Maybe I'll do some drawings about the other characters or towns.

✨✨✨

If you like this, please reblog (it really helps artists out!!), leave a like or comment (I love hearing your thoughts, it keeps me drawing), and follow me for more (I update at least once a week) 💖

Available for commissions! For more information, please check out my post here: https://www.tumblr.com/pinkartwitch/739257460225916928/novas-art-commissions

Come along with me to Ozelea, a world bursting with magic and drama! I'm building the world that these characters live in, and you can learn about it in Blood and Thorns: https://pinkchaosstories.tumblr.com/bloodandthorns

Harriet and Emma

Reading queer things into Jane Austen. Emma the demisexual.

The aces, they up in everyone else's love life and totally uninterested in their own.

Painting reference by Angelica Kaufmann (1741–1807) - The Artist in the Character of Design Listening to the Inspiration of Poetry

#Jane Austen #Emma #Emma Woodhouse #demisexual #asexual #Emma declares she will never marry #until the end of the book when the guy she's been bffs with forever #suddenly seems like mr right #no one is more invested in other people's love lives than the aces #disclaimer #i do not think jane austen's works are purposefully queer as we know it #but i sure love underlining things and saying “gay” a lot

Jane Austen was so insane for writing Emma I’m losing my mind

Like you have the mean bossy femme lesbian in her late 20’s, living off her trust fund and becoming hyper-obsessed with a local pretty peasant girl Jennifer’s Body style. People call her perfect, and she knows they’re right

(They’re wrong. Her childhood best friend - her metaphoric conscious - reminds her every day.)

She’s the protagonist of this book but the antagonist of every other: she’s Caroline Bingley, Blanche Ingram, Cordelia Chase, Regina George, Heather Chandler. She’s the queen of this school, and popularity is a hell of a drug.

(Popularity is the only power she has. There’s something itching at the back of her brain: She doesn’t want to be this. She doesn’t want to do this. Why is she trying to impress all these mean people.)

She can do no wrong. She mocks the annoying weird girl and everybody laughs and the weird girl finally shuts up.

(He’s frowning at her in the background. She’s frowning at herself. She’s angry at both of them)

People think she’s charming and beautiful and so kind.

(They’re wrong.)

She keeps everybody at arm’s length, staying mean and fiercely independent.

(They can’t see her loneliness. Her failures. The way she watches her pretty new friend laughing joyfully and beautifully in the sun, and it just makes her feel sad.)

She plays Cupid because she sees people as her play things - love is just a game for her.

(She plays Cupid because she knows that everybody will leave her in the end, anyways. This just allows her to control it.)

Jane Austen famously called Emma “a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.”

(I like her too)

#emma #Jane Austen #I’M VERY NORMAL ABOUT EMMA #ultimate beloved queer coded mean girl #jane austen said ‘i want to take this mean girl and study her for science’ and that’s such a mood #uh this post got out of hand. i might just be gay for emma.#also yes Emma is actually 21 this is a vibes ONLY post

day 1 of convincing you to watch demons and daughters by sharing the most gay, heart wrenching, agonising sapphic love confession scene u will ever witness

you do not need any prior knowledge of dnd to enjoy this show, only a desire to see pining teenage regency era lesbians be gay and yearning and feral on a madcap journey to find their missing fathers, fight demons and break free of their patriarchal roles. the show is free on youtube!!

(ps if you watch to the end of the video you will giggle)

It’s also such a wasted opportunity to not have Eloise be a canonical lesbian like I’m gonna be honest I have next to no interest in watching her fall for a man

#the concept of bridgerton is so funny like they made regency era more progressive in several ways #but also women are still oppressed and there are no gay people lmao like WHAT #if you’re going to dreamscape an idealized regency era Jane Austen roleplay #there needs to at least be gay people like come on 😭#Cressida x Eloise soooo real!#also Eloise unrequited love for Penelope is also real to me #(this is also just going off of the Discourse I’ve seen about her book.)#(perhaps the show will switch it up and if so I applaud them!)#bridgerton #eloise bridgerton

So i desperately need someone to rewrite all of pride and prejudice BUT it’s jegulus.

like could you IMAGINE ITTTT. James is Darcy and reg is Lizzie. They meet at a ball, James is in a pissy mood and is friends with Sirius (who I suppose would be uh- Jane????). The whole thing with Mr Collin’s literally being related to Lizzie works too cuz this *is* the noble house of black we’re talking abt, he can be Lucius or smth.

I love the fact that Crowley secretly reads books

like I can just imagine him in the bookshop by himself looking around to make sure no one outside is looking then just snatching a book off the shelf to shove in his jacket

Then when aziraphale comes back he just leaves in a hurry so he could go to his flat and read lol

#He stole a Jane Austen book #Aziraphale said it was good so it probably was lol #crowley #good omens #aziraphale #aziracrow #crowphale #gay omens #aziraphale x crowley #ineffable husbands #good omens crowphale #good omens aziracrow

Heartwrenching quotes as jegulus:

James "i love you" Potter and Regulus "it'll pass" Black

James "I'll do whatever you want" Potter and Regulus "then perish" Black

James "which of my important nothings shall I tell you first?" Potter and Regulus "if I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more" Black

James "to wish was to hope and to hope was to expect" Potter and Regulus "do not let the behaviour of others destroy your inner peace" Black

James "do you think God stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he's created?" Potter and Regulus "God may judge you but his sins outnumber your own" Black

James "Kill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars you won." Potter and Regulus "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" Black

James "I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me" Potter and Regulus "if the world chooses to become my enemy I will fight like I always have" Black

James "for some a prologue" Potter and Regulus "for some an epilogue" Black

Lesbian culture is not caring about fashion but abstaining from the burning desire to wear a Victorian three piece suit and top hat.

Crowley and Aziraphale + Jane Austen = 💔

‘gay retelling of a classic!’ ‘feminist sapphic twist on this greek myth!’ why don’t you write a better book than that. i think we deserve better books than that

#just had ‘jane austen’s mansfield park reimagined as a sapphic murder mystery’ advertised 2 me on IG. and i just think you should write a #better book than that. if you want to write a ‘sapphic murder mystery’ then write it. the fact that you have to lean on existing classics #and advertise yours as a ‘retelling’ or a ‘twist’ or a ‘reimagining’ suggests to me that you are not a very good writer. sorry this is very #hatery but i believe it…just write a new book. a better book. what is the point of writing a gay version of wuthering heights other than it #solves your problem of not being able to come up with a plot because you are not a very good writer. i dont know. i suppose there is space #for anything and should be space for all sorts in the publishing industry but also i hear sapphic murder mystery mansfield park and i think #that’s probably not a very good book. idk. there is excellent queer and feminist original fiction out there without the need to take #existing literature at random and use that as a crutch for some reason…#(ridi's) bigmouth strikes again

This is for the Queer Austen Truthers! I give you Jane Austen’s “Emma” but as a sapphic YA graphic novel!!

I made this for my queer 18th century British literature class (very liberal arts college of me, I know) and I felt the need to share it!

I took quotes directly from “Emma” that can be read from a queer perspective and I paired them with illustrations that show my personal interpretation of the text.

PSA: This is MY interpretation. I know Emma is “straight” canonically but let me have my fun. If you don’t like queer readings of novels, don’t read! This isn’t for you!

Please see #paupersprince8 for previous and future updates

In this little fantasy world, what gender you marry isnt the issue- its all about whether that person has enough influence in court to keep the status quo u_u

#paupersprince8 #the question of how do we make a gay regency style story without dealing with the negative not fun 'gay is taboo' stuff #I want a jane austen style romance not smth serious #should be able to enjoy this genre as much as straight ppl get to haha #webcomic #comic #webtoon #regencycore #comic art #comic update #webcomic update #comics #webcomics
