here’s the thing, right— obviously if they’d killed the bane when he was a baby, when he was pearlpelt really and fully and truly, lives would’ve been saved. but if gregor had let that happen he wouldn’t have been gregor at all, and so it had to happen like it did.

there was no way around it because the story was a tragedy in the way that orpheus and eurydice’s story is a tragedy: because orpheus loved eurydice, he had to turn around, and because gregor existed, the bane would too.

When they torch Icarus’ body <3

I was on a call with my friend and she said

"I feel like Ripred should be allowed to say "fuck" just once in that one scene-"

And then, unfortunately, her WiFi cut out.

So please help me fellow TUC Underlanders, which scene or phrase or anything do you think Ripred should be allowed to say fuck?

Happy 21st birthday to the Underland Chronicles!!

I literally haven't figured out how tumblr works so eeeh baby's first and very anxious post will be in honor of that fantastic book series!

Take this humble thing as a gift on this happy day (Solovet and Vikus from the underland chronicles..)

pls be nice i'm fighting throught art block rn and barely mananged to render the skin before the lack of motivation forced me to leave the rest ugly flat and just smash some scribbles on top of it (hoping that the texture makes a nice effect,,, like on those old half-restored oil paintings..for authenticity etc) -> EDIT the colors are crap now. will post better pic later if motivated enough :p

probably won't finish this so better post it now than never?

that's it, have a great day!!

post-canon (CoC) Gregor and Boots, somewhere in Virginia.

May try to paint the whole family in a similar scene someday (because landscape background practice.. which i hate)

The first of my 60min little paintings that actually took axactly 60min (!), even though the background had to suffer when i decided to add the tiny figures :p

I always wondered what they could have said here

Dude it is SO FUN and EXCITING to see a reoccurring reader. If you've commented a handful of times on an author's work, I guarantee that they recognize you. You can't imagine how many times I've excitedly informed my friends "the person with the funny cat image commented!" "- anon is back!!!!" and the friends've recognized who I was talking about because I talk about my commenters so often LOL. We love you all!!!

"I'm glad i finally get to meet you. I wanted to thank you for all the lovely snacks you sent me, they're always the high point of my day."
