The Blood Spell - C. J. Redwine
I forgot how much I loved this series!
Blue de la Cour works with her father in his alchemy shop by day, but by night she is trying to use what little magic she has to turn lead into gold. If she succeeds, she can use the money to help the orphans and street children that are all too plentiful in the city — some of whom are mysteriously disappearing.
Dinah Chauveau is drowning in debt thanks to her late husband and stands to lose everything she's worked for if she can't find a way to pay it off. So when she suspects someone in the city might be close to manufacturing passable gold, she will do anything to bring that power under her own control.
Prince Kellan is mere weeks away from his betrothal ball where he will have to make a political alliance with one of the head families. It's a delicate tightrope to walk, making sure none of the girls or their families feel offended or snubbed, and it's made all the more complicated by the resurgence of dangerous magic in the city, and his unexpectedly changing feelings for his annoying childhood friend, Blue.
This Cinderella story has probably my favourite utilization of the glass slippers ever! The mystery had so many layers to it, I was constantly guessing and continuously turning pages trying to figure it out, and the way it all came together at the end was brilliant!

the way that nick spell in 14x17 makes it canonically SO easy to open a portal to the empty. it drives me insane. dean literally HAD cas's blood. on his jacket. it was all right there. it was set up perfectly. why show us nick opening a portal to the empty and specifically showing that the main ingredient was BLOOD then. not using that. dean was meant to rescue cas!!!!! full circle moment. i'm the one who gripped you tight a raised you from perdition. what's the matter, cas? you don't think you deserve to be saved? i love you, too. of course i love you. SMOOCH. anyways.

:D I love Nicky so much
I'll be making these into (handmade) stickers and will be giving them out for FREE at both the upcoming Elfia event and at Heroes Dutch Comic Con (summer edition)
I actually don't think anyone from the Netherlands follows me on here but uuuhh if you do plan on going to one/both events, keep an eye out for someone in a badly made Taylor cosplay and you will be granted with one of these bad bois >:)

Lord Shen.
Me inspire en la frase "A red sun rises, blood have been spilled this night" de Tolkien.
Hay algunos detalles que faltan corregir pero no tengo la paciencia de hacerlo.
Este es el dibujo que más me costó hacer.
No tengo idea de composición ni nada de esas cosas. Lo que hice lo hice porque según yo de veía bien.

This came to me in a vision and I had to draw it or I would explode. I honestly don't have an explanation enjoy

it is so extremely underutilized that Nico is heavily implied to have powers of just. anything ghosts are reportedly able to do.
we know canonically that he can drop temperatures to freezing/to the point where it creates frost, and does so involuntarily or unknowingly at times. We know he can project emotions and memories out onto others, just in general and with physical force - both his own memories/emotions and general emotions as well, such as radiating an aura onto his enemies so that they would fear him more. We know it's heavily implied he can straight up create illusions and inflict madness upon others. We know he's eerily silent when he moves and seems to just appear in places. We know he can control/walk through/mess with dreams. We know he can become intangible and pass through solid objects and terrain without even realizing it.
like, that alone is so much! but the fact that it's implied that's not it? there's MORE?
Where's Nico fucking with EVPs and speaking through radios or static or TV. Throwing his voice. Nico remotely setting things on and off, or draining batteries, or making cell service fuzz out. Nico totally turning invisible (also a Hades' Helm of Darkness thing, so double reason for Nico to be able to do that). Where's Nico inflicting sleep paralysis. Where's Nico straight up making the walls bleed. Let him do more ghost stuff!
