Fandom friendship is:

Sending voice recordings back and forth across the country with a friend you’ve never met in person.

Being able to send pics of your fandom fave with concise, inspiring messages like “must. Bite. Neck.”

Brainstorming fics you know neither of you will ever write.

The way months or years of talking about your favorite shows and characters turns into knowing their partner’s name, what their pet looks like, and being the person they message when their family is being shit again.

The way you never thought about a character in a certain way until you met them, and now you’re obsessed with their personal headcanon about it.

Hyping each other’s art, writing, etc.

Talking about your “friend from Australia” to irl friends and family.

Feeling proud when their posts get big notes.

Realizing you’ve been talking for ages but uh actually you have no idea what their name is?

The comfort of being at a stressful family gathering or other annoying situation and knowing the friends in your phone will be waiting when you get done with it.

it's kinda comforting to me when my friends are a little annoying or longwinded or abrasive or tired and inarticulate, or they don't do the exact politest thing in every interaction, and stuff, because I know I'm sometimes annoying, or take up a more than my share of conversational space, or forget to ask them questions, etc etc, and... like, I'm always working to be nice to my friends and to get better and better at friend-ing, but it just makes me feel more human about it :}

anyway I love you friends plz know I'm not counting, in fact I feel great affection toward you even (especially) when conversations go less than Perfectly Ideal

Simon waxes Baz's chest (for some reason idk) and Simon gets a kick out of Baz's reactions a little too much

I think the reverse can happen, but instead of Baz getting off to Simon's reactions, it's Simon liking the pain and telling Baz to do it again. Although Simon would have to grow a full chest of hair first

Merlin, instead of a tattoos, AU wax technician Baz waxes Simon's pubes and ass every month

"You asked the guy who waxes you out to drinks?"

Simon shrugs. "He's nice and gentle with me. He also doesn't make fun of my patchy hair."

"Simon, that's his job," Penny says.

idk here's baby

Well hello there, friends! I’ve got a little work-in-progress update to share (yes, I’m just as surprised as you are).

First things first: I’m currently working on Volume II of Wayward Heir, which I’m planning to release this summer. (Volume I is already complete and up on AO3, so feel free to check it out if you haven’t yet! 🖤) Each volume has five parts, and I’m now finishing up the script so I can jump into panel drafting and drawing. That’s my main focus right now.

This is the coat of arms of the Pitch family that will appear in Volume II! It’s based on the canon description — flames, falcon, moon — so I took those cues and personalized it to better fit the context of my story. I also came up with a motto for it: Lumen in tenebris volamus, which means “We fly into the light through the darkness.” I wanted something that captured both defiance and hope — like, yeah, we’re going into dark places, but we're aiming for the light (specially someone named something that rimes with Chaz)

Finally, here’s a sketch of the same someone (Baz) having a snack (Simon). I’ve decided to start practicing more with skin tones in different lighting, and instead of using a lifeless sphere or something soulless like that, I thought — why not do it in the middle of an actual scene? Makes the learning process way more fun.

That’s all for now! Big thanks again for yesterday’s tag to @artsyunderstudy and @fiend-for-culture 💕💕💕

i love simon's list about all the things he misses about watford because it's like sour cherry scones, penny, football pitch (baz is strong, graceful, fucking ruthless), school uniform (baz is tall), my room (our room, baz smells like cedar and bergamot), the mage, magic, ebb (baz teases me), the wavering wood, agatha (last seen with baz) like simon, please

Hand on face for your trademark. I know I know, you might have guess body hair as my first pick but I think hand on face is my favorite Ashton trademark bc of the emotional component. Also big sad Baz soul eyes. You know what I’m talking about.

Huh face touching you say

Can't imagine where that comes from

I draw it a very Normal Amount

In all seriousness, it was actually harder to find images where hands weren't touching faces. So. Incredibly valid take.

Also ♡♡♡♡ thank you!! ITS MY FAVE TOO. (So clearly.)

Okay so when I got sucked into the phantom zone last week while watching youtube shorts a lot of the content it fed me was ADHD tips and a lot of it was either useless for me or redundant but there was one REALLY good tip about taking breaks that wasn't about taking breaks it was about RETURNING from breaks and the tip is: when you are about to go on a break, before you step away from your task (work, craft project, school stuff) decide what you'll do as the first thing when you sit back down at your task and set up your workspace to do that thing.

That means you've got an easy re-entry point to go back to doing the thing instead of sitting back down and having to make a decision or having to reorient from break mode to task mode. You have pre-reoriented and can just go back into working mode.

I've been doing this by circling what my next task on my tasklist is and bringing up the windows that I'll need for the task before I step away from my desk.

Brilliant hack, works great for me, hope it works great for you as well.

Ebb and Fiona

For @carry-on-sapphic-week, may I present the OG Sapphic: Ebb Petty! Oh, and Fiona decided to tag along. Is this an "and they were roommates" situation? Who can say...

A Watford era Ebb and Fiona boast their own versions of the uniform. Fun details include: Fiona's fishnets, her cropped and frayed collared shirt, and Ebb's sweater when it was still bright red.

me in five years when i still don’t have my life together:

[iamamythologicalcreature]

Happy Sunday everybody! I don’t have a lot of writing to share, but I do have some cute photos of a couple of cats who came into the shelter this week. I took these photos yesterday morning after they’d only met about an hour before. I felt like they were giving cuddly Snowbaz vibes:

Can you believe the little apricot guy is actually seven YEARS old?

I’m still plodding away on various fics; like I say, not too much to share, but here’s a few lines:

His arms are wrapped around my waist, and he squeezes me tighter now. He tries to kiss my jaw, just beneath my ear, and I shake my head so that my hair gets in his face. “Don’t,” I whisper. I’m weak, or I’d make him roll onto his back so we could lie next to each other, staring at the ceiling. Crowley, I’d leave the room entirely and just sleep in the library.

Simon sighs and drops his face to my shoulder. In spite of how my heart is aching, his body is still the closest to home I’ve ever felt. Once I close my eyes, it isn’t difficult to fall asleep.

That’s about it. I’m heading down to my SIL’s for a holiday dinner that I have very low expectations for, but I hope you all enjoy your day, however you’re spending it!
