Prompt 21 - Authentic

@jegulus-microfic September 21, Word count 129

Dorcas held it up to the light as she twirled it around in her fingers.

“Is it authentic?” She asked as the light bounced off it. 

“Of course, it’s authentic! He’s James bloody Potter! Do you really think he’d give it to Reg if it wasn’t legit?” Barty scoffed. 

“It is very pretty,” Pandora smiled dreamily as her eyes watched it rotating in Dorcas’s hold. 

“The big question that you’re all forgetting is who’s going to be his best man?” Evan piped up from the corner, mischief in his eyes. 

Regulus quickly reclaimed his engagement ring from Dorcas’s grasp, slipped it onto his left ring finger and darted out of the room before they could start hounding him. He did have a fiancé to get back to, after all.

Healthy relationships don't feel like fairy tales. They are constructed through authentic conversations, emotional vulnerability, and grace for each other's humanness.

Do you know what you do when you feel weak on anatomy? You try to get better at it by following art and technics that inspire you. That's how this illustration came up.

Some stuff are super wrong, but some other really went super smooth. I hope that all my male/pinup will some how give me the strentgh and confidence to try back a complex painting like this one !

Persona allows for privacy; authenticity allows for no privacy. Persona allows us to participate without always, at every turn, risking everything we’ve got.
