I watched the Halloween episodes yesterday and fell in love with the avatars so I had to make some late art for them :]

ATEEEEEEEEE CARLY ATEEEE

okay but studying can wait a little second until i finish this redraw HGHGHGH 😔<3333

What is your Hogwarts house?

Hi there, this is a hate free zone, after being eternally disappointed and betrayed by the works of That Woman moreso than I already was once I was of the age of Noticing Things in the books I was reading, I'd rather not think about any of that!

Ask me other silly questions, but nothing related to That Series, thank you.

Forever love the idea of Kae being an absolute nerd once you get to know him. Dude acts all suave and charming, then upon getting home, his time is most preferred spent reading the latest rec Jean’s given him with a cup of tea in hand and a plushy tucked under his chin. Or is constantly abt .5 seconds away from infodumping or smth, esp the more he gets attached to sb.

😍😍😍

i had to draw the outfits described in this ask to @all-chickens-are-trans

return of the disaster class hero is a lot of fun. wouldnt call it good necessarily but it is highly enjoyable and also i really like the weird gay thing lee gun and hugo have going on

Unicorns paper tests!

I had to jump in here to just completely agree with a comment you made to your last anon ask, which was that Harry had much more similarities with Sirius than James - YES!!!

I always see Harry as a parallel of Sirius, and I think a large part of this is down to their upbringings, and their relationships with their guardians (I refuse to call the Dursleys Harry’s family). James and Lily were arguably well loved, which was the root of their confidence. James as an only child to elderly parents, and even Lily was more favored by her parents. She experienced discrimination in the Wizarding World, but, in spite of having a troubled relationship with her sister, she was loved. I think Sirius, despite being the Black heir, didn’t experience love in his childhood. After he was sorted to Gryffindor, this is when it deteriorated to outright hate. Tragically, Harry knew nothing but neglect and hate at the Dursley’s so he has none of the confidence or drive his parents has. I see his attitude and aloofness much more similar to Sirius’ than James or Lily’s. I think Sirius was confident too, but in an untouchable, do-not-talk-to-me way. Harry, thanks to the Dursleys and his fame as the Boy Who Lived has a similar bubble around him.

I can go on for hours and hours on this, but I’ll finish off here just saying that it’s such an interesting look into nature vs. nurture. Harry clearly has inherited traits from both his parents, but his experiences have made him most like Sirius.

no but i totally agree!! (and if you…ever…wanna drop in with more commentary for hours on end, feel free, anon 👀)

sirius and harry’s experience parallel each other in interesting ways too. like on the fact of it, they’ve had wildly contrasting lives. i think a feature of sirius’ childhood was conditional love whereas for harry, it was undisputed dislike/hatred/disgust (even if he didn’t know why). they faced different kinds of neglect/abuse and for different reasons, and it definitely shaped them differently too. sirius is confident, like u mentioned, and charming and competent and knows his worth (presumably because of how privilege; always being aware of it, especially as he becomes more conscious of the tensions running within the wixen world) whereas harry grew up fully other’d. he’s a visibly downtrodden kid ykno? ratty clothes; broken glasses; shy, self conscious demeanour (sirius’ first meeting w james vs harry’s w ron comes to mind here)—he’s the exact opposite of ‘knowing your place’ here. i also think their feelings re their family (or relatives, in harry’s case, bc hard agree that’s not a family) would be different. i always imagine sirius to be more conflicted than harry would be tbh.

but despite that, there’s so things that are similar. entering a world that’s not your own but becomes ur family (slightly less monumental for sirius in gryffindor, but similar in spirit, i’d argue); finding ride-or-die friends (some draw james-ron parallels here but i think the latter only works in its potential tbh); getting unconditional love and support, discovering healthy family dynamics, learning to open up, growth & development etc etc

people keep bringing up james and lily as points of comparison for harry, and i think a part of that comes from they thinking they should. but the loyalty? the guardedness? the dysfunctional childhood? always expecting the worst? the do-they-like-me-for-me-or-what-i-am/can-do-for-them dilemma? entirely sirius imo.

this is also why, i think, in a universe where james & lily find harry at the same time sirius does—it would still be sirius harry gravitates towards the most. i’m not underestimating james’ ability to be with a traumatised kid (clearly, he was good at it once) but it’d be different now due to the age difference. i think harry would recognise like, feel safer with sirius.

I drew this with children’s art supplies

raven from teen titans 🥹

Played the game ‘I’m going to fit this model on the paper no matter what’ at recent figure drawing event. Lots of scale distortion around the knees/feet, but rather than be sad about my inability to size things correctly to start with I was amused/entertained. Chatted with people and had a great time despite the fact the models were fully nude. I greatly miss my costumes and fun music from Dr Sketchy’s but this Sketchboard Co. Figure Drawing group is a nice replacement. Looking forward to becoming a regular.

I drew an Azula!

I also decided to color this, which was mildly nervewracking, but honestly I think it came out great!

fun fact, I made pens in high school
