there i fixed it

[princess-icicles]

pretend we are the way it was, what will become of us?

Day 7 of @bladesappreciationweek was about our MCs, so obviously I had to make one more Aerin based edit before I have to retreat into my cave. 

I like to imagine that in another world or a different time Wisteria and Aerin could have made things work, and maybe she would end up being a princess. Which totally suits her name.

,,, okay but Aerin in plum was the best choice I ever made

some shitty adam faceclaim edits I’ve been sending to @europeanguy to curse her

[pixelburied]

I made a choices blog but I'm really really shy and you seem really cool so maybe you know some other cool people I could follow? I only read bloodbound, it lives in the woods, it lives beneath, blades of light and shadow and the heist: monaco so far but if you know any fanfiction/art blogs around here with those books (especially wlw content) i'd be really really grateful. Sorry if i don't make sense, i'm very awkward with my english.

Hello, Anon. Don’t apologize for your English because (1) it’s great and (2) anyone who points out a problem with your english is a jerk and probably monolingual.

Anyways, here are my current faves. Please excuse me if I don’t tag them, I don’t wanna clog their notifs. But they’re all great!

How Rich are You?? - Bloodbound Edition

Welcome to the MONEY Series, where I draw up how rich everybody is. Here, I estimate how rich ALL the Bloodbound LIs are because literally everyone likes cash, not just me.

ADRIAN: Literally one of the first details about Adrian we ever got was that he’s a billionaire. And from the way PB stresses it, it seems like he’s one of those super-billionaires or something. I doubt he’s at the Jeff Bezos level (publicly at least), but this guy has some serious numbers in his bank account. Now, CEOs 

like him don’t have billions in cash sitting in some bank vault somewhere. Most of their money is made up of the amount of their company that they own and how much that slice is worth. Seeing as Adrian probably founded his own company, it’s pretty fair to say he has a good chunk of it. And Raines Corp. seems to be like the golden child of a capitalist mother. MC mentions that the Raines Corp. was one of the fastest growing companies in America (in the job interview with Nicole), Adrian was voted ‘CEO to watch’, and she also said ‘like no one knows how profitable Raines Corp. is’ in Marcel’s library. Plus Adrian’s other assets like a private jet and great car and stuff, that’s a CRAZY amount of money.

Net Worth: $40 - $50 billion (the company’s had a lot of time to grow and rake in profit and value, seeing as vampires are, you know, a little thing called immortal)

But wait, there’s more! There’s this super shady thing that rich people do called offshore accounts! Basically, they shovel their cash to places like Bermuda and the Cayman islands to avoid paying taxes and hide their boatloads of cash from the feds. I’m pretty sure Adrian does that, not to avoid taxes, but to hide money he made in the other centuries he’s been alive, like the lucrative mega-businesses of the Gilded Age, that he otherwise wouldn’t be able to explain.

COMPLETE NET WORTH: $80 - $90 billion (includes previous profits in offshore accounts, physical things like gold and artifacts, real estate, international company investments). 

Probably Owns: Obviously his private plane, which seems quite large and luxurious (Gulfstream perhaps?). He definitely has that decked out penthouse with a prime view of the Manhattan real estate market and a car described as a ‘slick sports car’ in Book 1 when you’re rescuing him. I am 100% sure he has a giant wine collection spanning centuries old as long as multiple estates around the US. In Book 1, Kamilah mentions she didn’t know about Adrian’s colonial estate, implying that there are others. So, if you like jet setting to giant mansions with centuries old bubbly, there’s that. 

KAMILAH: Our vampire queen is not just the queen of literally everything, she is also the queen of raking in the sweet sweet cash. She’s in finance, and if it’s one thing I’ve learned, finance is profitable. Now, it’s obvious she’s extremely wealthy, but the curious things is that it’s not emphasized as such. It’s stressed that Adrian is a billionaire and has a private plane and whatnot, but there’s no mention of the extent of Kamilah’s wealth. So here’s what probably went down: Kamilah’s public wealth is lower than Adrian’s, but her hidden wealth is a lot higher. I literally would not be surprised if she could go to Egypt, dig a random hole in the desert, and turn up a motherlode of gold she hid thousands of years ago. 

Net Worth: $20 - $30 billion (as far as the outside world knows. But if you factor in all her hidden wealth and earnings and random gold statues and hundred carat diamonds floating around the world, I’d estimate it at about $200 billion. This insanely high number is yes, due to the amount of previous earnings and valuables like precious metals and artifacts she has, but also their age and rarity)

Probably Owns: A really nice residence in Manhattan (I’m thinking a penthouse apartment similar in concept, but different in style to Adrian’s), along with apartments in every city she has an office in. I’m also sure she also has a walk in closet stacked wall to wall with custom made suits. I’m also quite sure that she still owns a few artifacts that are stored in private holdings around the world, like on in Egypt perhaps, and maybe some in remote areas like the deserts of Nevada or Argentine Patagonia. 

JAX MATSUO: Okay, what I know about Jax is that he was basically a college dropout in the 80s who spent his tuition dollars on LSD trips and bad disco clothes. And the last time I checked, disco clothes aren’t that valuable anymore (and never should have been). Now, I theorize that any personal wealth he gained was redistributed to help the Clanless and others that he took in. So, he’s not crapping blocks of gold and hundred dollar bills like Adrian and Kamilah. He’s crapping out those rolls of quarters you get at the convenience store and the occasional fake diamond earring from Claire’s. However, his new position on the Council is definitely bringing in some much needed cash.

Net Worth: $3 - $4 million (mostly due to him reinvesting in his Clan, and being relatively new to business and Council duties)

Probably Owns: I don’t think Jax has as much material wealth and homes/properties as Adrian and Kamilah. I think he has a nice, safe, and comfortable quarters in the refurbished Shadow Den so he can be with his people at all times. He probably scraped up enough for a respectable car due to nagging from Lily, but other than that, I theorize that he prefers to live a little more under the radar.

LILY SPENCER: The only piece of info I have about her was that she was able to buy us 10 pizzas when we first met (flashback in Book One). Now, the price of pizza in NYC is rising, with the average being $16.98. Ten pizzas is roughly $170 dollars.

Net Worth: $170 (but in reality, I estimate about $35 - $60k with any debts fully paid off. Running with Jax is definitely drawing in income, and I won’t be surprised if she’s drawing a salary from her service or a commission from Fangbook.)

Probably Owns: 0 delicious pizzas because she ate them all. But seriously though, we know she still lives in the apartment with us, so that hasn’t changed. I don’t see a need or means for a car or private jet or anything like that, and I can’t see Lily buying hugely permanent things. She seems much more of a ‘spur of the moment’ person, and purchases reflect that. Like one of those ten foot teddy bears from Costco. Or a signed David Tennant photo from eBay. Or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mask worn by the stunt man. Take your pick.

[brightpinkpeppercorn]

i already know your favorite writers, but do you also have any favorite content creators aside from them? and what do you like about their works?

Yeah! We have so many amazing artists and edit creators and I love so many of them.  

@lady-kato has some great head canons. She wrote one for a request for me and it really made me smile all day

Artists

@europeanguy  Just go check out the art. How do you take something which is aesthetically pleasing and make it even more beautiful? 

@lady-waltz I will never get over the most incredible Ride or Die masterpiece to come out of this fandom. She should seriously be hired by PB. 

@askdana Have you seen their incredible portraits? They actually reflect the sun.

@kenjkats Good lord the art is amazing! Max is so sweet and the artwork is just so beautiful. The type of artwork produced is the type you’ll just stare at forever.

@javsarts Just look at my header.  It’ll speak for this wonderful artist. 

@scrappysheep Oh my god, the ILITW/ILB artwork. So realistic and beautiful.  I’m always happy to see them post. 

@toyhenoctus (oh boo, I don’t think the tag works) No art here has made me laugh as much as Mona at Dinner and I love the case of the missing BB MC hoodie.

@client-327 Her Colt artwork is simply fantastic. She has captured all facets of his personality.

@corgibae The artwork is so wholesome and sweet and makes me happy

@baldwinboy5ive Oh god, do I absolutely love their art when they post them.  The Endless Summer ones especially but Beckett as the meme? Brilliant!

Edits

@pbmychoices I love, love, love her icons and edits. Check out the masterlist - they’re all really unique and fun. I always look forward to what is next.

@choicesarehard  Edit Queen and her moodboards are seriously incredible. She’ll help with some of the most random requests - like Logan in Damien’s jacket for my own scientific research.

@ladynonsense  Two words: Jakemilah McSayeed.

@pixieferry She had a giveaway a while back with the most fun edits. Her series on the modern D&D AU is one of the best things I’ve seen! Oh, she also gave me Jake!Logan and I’m forever grateful.   

@itlivesbeneath I am always floored whenever I see her edits. They’re simply amazing and so cool. And so many great icons!

@helentwombly Some of the cutest edits I’ve seen. I love all the endless summer edits.  

I know I’m missing so many more. Please forgive as it is midnight here.  Thanks for the ask, Nonny!  

[lahuertas]

as a content creator, do u also have other fellow artists, editors and writers that you adore? spill who they are sis!

ahh, apologies for the delayed response to this nonnie! i just wanna preface this by saying to anyone reading this that there are so many talented creators in this fandom and that i’ll more thank likely forget a name or two so please don’t be offended if i don’t list you here!

artists:@edenbrooks​ @danniseyebrows​ @soupbutt​ @lady-waltz​ @europeanguy​ @vaalchoices​ @spacetravels​ @garlickk​ @toyhenoctus​ @cassiopeiacorvus​ @megowitch​ @shazrystyles​ @mellorax

edit & graphic makers:@maxvellbeaumont @itlivesbeneath @k-sayeed @beaumontbash @blafard @brycelahala

as for writers, i must confess that despite being in the fandom for three years, i’ve read close to no fanfiction just generally due to a combo of lack of free time and not following the right people. BUT i have read @zigsexual​‘s driam stuff which is definitely worth a read! anyone got any writers they can recommend?

hopefully i didn’t forget anyone! but seriously, these guys are all amazing; i wish i possessed half the talent that they have. you should definitely check them all out & give ‘em a follow!  ❤

Tagged by @kadencantarella @ladynonsense @alanakusuma & @brightpinkpeppercorn (and two others whom I can't find in my notifs now!) I'm terribly late and I'm not sure who has already done this so I'm sorry for any repeat tags! @pixelburied @teamtomsato @europeanguy @choiceslife @nukritus @lovethemarshalltwins ♡♡♡

These will be in no particular order ♡

• Manners | Damien x Ryan, 18+

I had a lot of fun writing this one! It was one of the first moments where I really captured Ryan in her essence of allure and I love that about her. I also debated for awhile about using, "On your knees," in a fic of mine but...sometimes...you just gotta.

• Bloom | Khaan x Dakota v.1 v.2, 18+

I love Khaan Mousavi. A lot. But Ryan is very monogamous to Damien...so I had to give Khaan some love, and thus, Dakota was born. Fun fact! Dakota is male in my playthrough. I'd been dying to write a fic featuring Khaan, specifically for the quote, "The way you sound, Dakota… That makes the flowers bloom," and I do have to say...I think it paid off pretty well.

• Atlas and His Moon | Jax x Kellen

This is undoubtedly my favorite 'first I love you' that I've ever written. I absolutely swoon to write Jax and this fic was so much fun.

"That’s the best part. She said, ‘Atlas, if you’ll have me, I’d love to love you.’ And in that moment, he knew that she was everything he’d been searching for, despite never having known he’d find her."

• Amen, Amen Ch. 3 | Like You're Made of Glass

If you follow me, you know what this story means to me. This chapter, specifically, hit a few personal goals I'd wanted to attain in my writing and I really love it. The entire progress of Amen, Amen is definitely my favorite thing I've done all year, but I can't link everything as one choice.

• Somewhere Only We Know | Tom x Clove, 18+

I absolutely adore Tom Sato and I wrote this before our 30 diamond scene with him. I'm glad I did, because (not to toot my own horn) I really prefer this first time to canon first time. I wanted to give these two some sweet moments and sexy time justice and I think I did that!

Thank you to anyone and everyone who has taken the time to read my content, be it a one shot or a part a series. It means more to me than I could possibly explain and I'm so happy to be in a fandom with you all.

tagging: @cpt-indigo @europeanguy @spacetravels @redyarns (hopefully y’all haven’t been tagged yet)

my phoebe eier (the elementalists mc) gif because it was like 7 frames and drawing 7 different hands is really hard but it came out well!!

huntress wizard !! i very rarely draw nature backgrounds because they are very difficult and painful but i think i pulled it off for this! also drawing the laces was HELL but part of being an artist is drawing laces, realizing you hate drawing laces, and then drawing laces like 1.3 days later

rheya aka the queen of my heart not to sound crazy but it is actually so fun to draw blood and also she’s feral and i love that

four flower portraits for team eva (haha the four portraits for #4 on my list) ok this might not be the best thing i’ve drawn this year, but this took the longest bc it is SO HARD to draw flowers so !! just based on effort alone this has to be on my list

alternate universe lily and tessa (bb mc) maybe bc this is the first drawing i did that actually got notes ahaha and i had to include one piece on this list that actually did well *side-eyes the other 4 that i chose*

1. the second sketch of my oc, echo. i wanted to try a different coloring method and i liked it! i just wanted to keep it simple (and i was kinda lazy) so i didn’t shade in the background

2. this TE instagram edit! when i was making this, i was giggling the whole time. i think this was my first time making an actual good edit so i’m lowkey proud of this one >:)

3. an unofficial grandmaster female robin stats page!! i was super super proud of this one bc back then i had firealpaca & i was dumb when it comes to coloring. so the fact that i even finished it!! was a miracle

4. this cute robin (hero mc) sketch, i did for a tag game!! this sketch made me realize that i should abuse the “Glow Dodge” tool ASLKJFKLLDFKJ

5. final battle! bloodbound mc. this was my first completed artwork w actual shading and a semi-decent background. although i can see some uhhhhh flaws in that piece, it’s a good starting point

[pixelburied]

thank u beloved mutuals for sending me cursed edits, y’all can stop now ✌️😔 I’m just gonna end up sending them all to @europeanguy skdhsksjs

[ladynonsense]

Europeanguy

oh! funny, good edits, kind of a secret tumblr crush of mine? awkward. but tagging anyway because it’s weird to talk about people behind their backs so uh...hi! @europeanguy

[brightpinkpeppercorn]

fandom asks 3, 6, 10

Thank you for the ask @ladynonsense !!

3. Which pairing would you like to see more around here? Do you know anyone who makes content about it already?

Because I’m always a day late and a dollar short, my obsessions come a little later but I want more Parker x MC content! I’ve already posted some and am working on more (just have to get through the last week of the month)

Luckily there are others who have some great content! @darley1101 @parkershawss @harrington-sinclaire @mistersinclaire @mysteli @pbmychoices

But with current books? I want more Logan (with or without MC) content! @ifyouseekheart and @likethetailofacomet already have some out!

6. Recommend five fanarts from different artists that you’ve seen lately.

Yes! So many talented artists!

@zuaovca is a freaking INCREDIBLE artist. Blows my mind. Check out the ILB work, especially of Tom x Clove. I like this one of the gang

@baldwinboy5ive wow. Just like. You gotta see their VoS artwork but the ES MMC one is just freaking amazing

@thelementalists Laura is so talented and amazing and I love her. She’s a badass and strong as hell and I can’t sing her praises enough. I’m going to recommend two. This beautiful work of Jake x my MC I commissioned (I love this with all my heart) and this fantastic one of Colt Kaneko

@voljinsalive Creates such lifelike, beautiful, amazing pieces. I am stunned every single time I see them! This one of THM Sonia will take your breath away.

@europeanguy is SUPREMELY talented (edits, art, fic, you name it!) and I just absolutely adore them with all of my heart. There are so many I can recommend (The Gotta Gogh art, anything with Parker and Bram) but this recent one of Tom and Andy (The Kings) is just wow ... so good!

10. Fluff or angst?

Gimme all the fluff. I want to eat cotton candy while floating on a cloud, please!
