It's sure been a swell couple months working at @mcguffeyartcenter in @cvilleselfies studio but alas the time came today to move back to my home studio.😊😔Oh how I truly enjoyed my time working in this local institution & ecclectic community of creators! I'm extra grateful that part of Mona's story was able to be incubated here. (In case you're curious, I ended up inking and shading 77 PAGES during this little residency. WOW!)😆🙌 I will try not to be a stranger and who knows maybe I will return to McGuffey the next time I have a big project, hmm...(ps--thanks @e_vallery for the photo!) . . . #mcguffeyartcenter #arthappenshere #eileenfrench #lauraleegulledge #artstudio #studiolife #makingmona #whatsthematterwithmonastarr #graphicnovel #drawingmarathon #nostalgicalready #changeisbittersweet (at McGuffey Art Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcflkAlzAK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=edxpjwci7s13

missing the weekend. @thegoodfest felt like summer camp with all my best internet & irl friends doing all of our favorite wellnessy things. #nostalgicalready #thegoodfest (at The Skybox Event Center & ALL New Joia Room)

Emma/Lily/Ruby

As I was rewatching OUAT - because, I mean, what else does one do during hiatus.... our last hiatus..... :’(  #nostalgicalready ) - I noticed that the only people that ever drove Emma’s yellow bug are Emma herself (obviously), Ruby and Lily.

This reinforces the idea that those characters both very strongly represent Emma (even more so if you’re interested in Operation OUT). On top of this, Lily is basically the anti-savior, the darkness that belongs to Emma. 

And what does that darkness do?

YEP, IT LIES ABOUT HAVING A HUSBAND.

And while Lily lies about a non-existent beard, Ruby eats hers.

And, then Ruby gloriously ends up with a woman.

(Don’t we love True Love smooches)

I will end it here, but yeah, Emma will eventually let go of her beard and True Love’s Kiss Regina.

Gᴏᴏᴅʙʏᴇ ғᴏʀ ɴᴏᴡ 👋🏻 Leaving always breaks my heart 💓 But I will be back soon hopefully...as I said when I left for the first time: I will always bring the sun with me! Back to London tanned and a blonde 👱‍♀️ ————————————————— #backtolondon #endofholidays😭 #nostalgic #fromtheplanewindow #cloudscape #tannedgirl #backtoblondehair #byebyeholiday #goinghome #heartbreak #whereishome #homeiswheretheheartis❤️ #sadpost #haircut #haircolor #hairfixing #feelingpretty #leavingagain #byebye #byebyefornow #newhaircutstyle #newhaircolour❤️ #blondiebrownie #cheermeupplease #feelingprettytoday💋 #backtoreallife #untilnexttime✌️ #nostalgicalready (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDLvuUXjKW3/?igshid=5wnevi6t4dkz
