Hi hello um Wanted to make this after the newest chapter of Phytologists' guide to Falling in love Dropped. So that was months ago lol idk what happenned. Anyways I was so pumped it was back, it got me thinking of my old drawing I made, what was it, 2 years ago now? Anyways I knew I could do better, so I did. Thanks @lucidmagic again for making my favourite fic of all time. As someone whose read an embarrasingly high number of fics over the last 3 and a half years, that bar is high. You know what? It's time to re-read this fic for the 8th time. Let's do it!

I had to draw my favourite scene from @lucidmagic The Phytologist’s Guide to Falling in Love

y’all I’ve read this fic more times than I can count over the last year

Anyways if anyone’s interested in my little rant here it is:

Phyto is the absolute best fic I’ve ever read hands down. The writing is beautiful and the relationship between Donna and the gardener seems a lot more real than a lot of other fics I’ve read.  On a personal note, this fic really helped me through hard times. I’ve read a lot of donna x reader fics and her characterization often reads as autistic to me. I cannot explain to you the joy I felt when this fic actually eluded to it the first time. As the story continued, seeing gardener support her and love her just as much with this information in mind absolutely killed me. Donna’s autistic traits are brought up nonchalantly, and only add to her charm, and her happy flapping- y’all I didn’t know I could receive so much serotonin at once

Being on the spectrum, this is the first time I’ve seen any representation that I can actually resonate with. I have to deal with a lot of ableism in my everyday life, especially in the last year. It feels good knowing I can come back to this fic when I’m having a tough time. :)

ANYWAYS

Hope y’all like this little scribble of mine (which may or may not have taken 7 hours hjfssss)

Lady D sculpture I made last year, first time attempting a project so complicated, totally worth it! Now I just need to motivate myself to finish my Donna sculpture as well...

Young Donna and Claudia Beneviento ~

Ik there’s a lot of different interpretations out there but I like to think Claudia was Donna’s younger sister; very loud and rowdy, contrasting with Donna like Angie does. (Trying to get better at digital art... practice makes perfect! 😅😅)

After spending what feels like a year lurking on the re8 side of tumblr, I have finally mustered up the courage to crawl out of the shadows and post my gay scribbles
