Personally I've never been a fan of the "magic is a beast that needs to be tamed" metaphor. Magic is more like the ocean: powerful, terrifying, capable of unbridled force. But at the same time, it is gentle, warm, the lifeblood of millions of people. The folk who know the ocean know you cannot harness it's force, you must work within or around it, lest it destroy you. Similarly, magic is great and terrible and gentle and kind, all at once. And those who work with it need to work WITH it, not reign over it. Because the primordial forces have no rules about biting the hand that feeds you.

Calypso offered to do the unicorns makeup. The Unicorn accepted.
“You’ve got great cheekbones!” Said the goddess.
The Unicorn blushed and mumbled a thank you.

Hear me out… platonic/chaste bathing in a lake (´▽`ʃƪ)♡
( there’s no actual nudity in this art, it’s more or less base drawing bodies than anatomy, but I still used steam clouds bc tumblr’s censorship confuses and scares me LOL )

No because when did anyone who jokes about being a system become a faker? Like I'm sorry but just because we live with a disabling disorder doesn't mean I'm going to be crying 24/7. I'm going to be treating it like I treat the entirety of my life: as a joke.

Always rooting for the Anti-Hero ~ Happy Birthday, Professor Snape
~
A new phoenix-themed robe design for AU postwar/headmaster Snape. After the snake theme, the phoenix theme is my favorite one to include into any robes I draw for him. I think it’s kinda fitting, like one big „f*** you“ directed at the ones who made his life miserable, including the late Dumbledore;
„See this? You were the one with the pet-phoenix, but I’m the one who survived your bullshit-schemes, got your job, my freedom, and the trust and gratitude of the boy you deceived and raised to die.“
Ah yes. The power of fanfiction.
Fun fact: The robe is inspired by a dress Taylor Swift wore for the Reputation stadium tour.
AND I FINALLY DREW HIM WITH DA BLACK NAILPOLISH.

friendly reminder that plurality is caused by trauma. trauma is defined as an event that has a severe negative impact on oneself. there are going to be dark parts of plurality that no one wants to talk about. the brain created you to cope with what it went through. it's okay to have parts (or wholes) that have “twisted” desires, attractions, innerworld or external relationships, sexual or emotional needs, etc. other people might call you disgusting, evil, immoral, but it's just part of being traumatized. it's going to be unpleasant or unsightly.
