Honestly, shout out to the Spiderwick Chronicles (the book series). You know they actually do know their fairy tales when they have one of the most lore-accurate ogre depictions in English-speaking modern literature.

curious to know why you dislike juline?

tbh i had no opinion at all of her and then about a year ago there was a poll on which member of the collective was the best. and the tiergan lovers website let tiergan down. in favor of her. /hj

in seriousness, dislike was a bit strong. im still mostly neutral on her. she does sort of feel like just another sparkly girlboss in the series which. admittedly is a trope in kotlc thats started to piss me off a bit bc it seems like every adult woman falls into it.

juline is like. the final evolution of that sparkly girlbossery. she has no real relationship damage for more than 2 minutes after revealing shes been lying to her family for years and was part of the organization that grady thought killed his daughter.

in general! it doesnt seem like she ever faces any consequences for lying to her family or pushing them to the side a bit in favor of the black swan.

idk maybe there were problems (specifically with dex) and we never saw them bc theyre not sophies problem but. whatever.

also what is her "official job." was she passing off as a stay at home mom? does she work in the nobility? idk

I really want to get better at drawing faces and bodies, but my perfectionism stops me before I can even begin. Repeating the mantra, "It's okay to make bad art. It's good to make bad art. It's necessary to make bad art. It's awesome to make bad art. "It really helps, lol. I was muttering that to myself during the entire process of this piece, and it's not the coolest or nicest thing I've even made, but I still am really happy with how it pushed me out of my comfort zone

Ogre illustrations: Sleeping Beauty

Too many people forget that Sleeping Beauty is an “ogre tale”. Well... The French version of the story, as told by Charles Perrault, is an ogre tale, with the second antagonist being the evil, wicked, old queen/mother-queen of the prince, an ogress with a particular fondness for the Robert sauce. Here is a series of various illustrations putting forward this too-often neglected character.

Illustration of the queen giving the order to her (technically butler but he is dressed as a cook here) to kill little Dawn and cook her at the Robert sauce. Created by Jacques Godefroi-Jean Midderich and Bertall for the 1893 “Contes de fées tirés de Perrault, Mme d’Aulnoy et Mme Leprince de Beaumont”, part of “La bibliothèque rose illustrée”. 

Illustration of the ogress-queen throwing herself into the vat of snakes and toads, taken from Garnier frère’s “Contes des fées par Perrault, Mme d’Aulnoy, Hamilton et Mme Leprince de Beaumont” (date unclear, between 1850 and 1880). Illustrator unknown.

The queen-ogress killing herself upon the arrival of her son the king, 1865. Unknown artist: part of the famous “images d’Epinal”, more precisely the “Scottish series” of the imagerie d’Epinal. 

Character design and costume concept for the role of the ogress, as played by the famous comic actor Tiercelin, in the “folie-comi-parade” play known as “L’ogresse ou La belle au bois dormant” (1811). Costumes by Fortuné Potier, drawing by Joly. 

The mother-queen suspecting her son of hiding a secret. Illustration by Olivier Desvaux for his “La Belle au bois dormant” (2011)

Malcolm Ashman’s illustration of the old queen preparing the vat of snakes and toads, for Kara May’s “French Fairy Tales”, 1992

Harry Clarke’s illustration of the wicked queen asking for her grand-children to be cooked a la “sauce piquante”. From the 1922′s “Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault”, London.

The evil queen jumping into the pit of snakes. Unknown artist, late 19th century.
