While attending a social event thrown by a beautiful noble of the summer court who had once been beloved of Faolan, Theros and Wren slipped away for a moment alone together... only to find themselves set upon by some of the very same Redcaps that had hunted and nearly killed Wren while he was still a unicorn.
Desperately fleeing the vicious goblins and their hunting hounds, Theros yelled for Wren to leave him behind, knowing the unicorn made mortal still possessed some remnants of his boundless magic, but Wren could not leave his beloved knight and protector to a horrible fate.
Done over 3 or four days now because the lighting, fog and the sheer number of figures in this were giving me fits. There's 8 redcaps and their goblin doggies chasing them, even if only 5 redcaps and 2 doggies of doom showed up.
Then Wren's chemise started causing fits, I accidentally messed up the lighting, I deleted Wren's horn and had to undo a bunch of work to get it back, then I couldn't get the clouds I wanted in the background in the mountains- and then there was the sheer amount of time I had to leave the computer running to process the image and the hand painted effects done at the end. 😭
That light shining off Theros' sword? I placed it, loved how it worked, then saved it to my library so I could go back to get Wren's horn. And when I loaded the spotlight?
It deleted all my other lights, so I had to undo it, research how to save the spotlight in a way that wouldn't make it the ONLY light applied...
Right now I'm in love with it and feel like shoving it in everyone's faces screaming "Look, I made an art!"
In about twenty minutes I'm going to be muttering to myself about how much I hate it.
For now, I'm going to go drink another LiquidIV and put my feet up.

Gang, I am looking for a photograph I know exists, but I can not find. It is a historic black and white photo of a group of butches/transmen with a sign that say's "Who says there are no boys in Chaigao" (I believe, in reference to the draft)

There is something about proudly proclaiming a show "tumblrista catnip" that makes me emotional.
Something about how for years tumblrinas were ridiculed by show creators.
Something about Supernatural having a meta episode set at a convention with all the weirdo fans that made the main characters uncomfortable. Something something about Becky and the message that fangirls are gross and obsessive.
Something about Sherlock and the way fans were portrayed as crazy obsessive nutjobs for trying to figure out how he faked his death.
Something about creators mocking fandoms, dismissing them as freaks. Something about queer people not being welcome to engage in their creations because "why do you have to make everything gay?"
Something about the malicious culture of queerbaiting throughout the 2000s/2010s, followed by Bury Your Gays tropes across the media landscape because hell, you should be grateful we even gave you queer characters to begin with - and everyone dies in our show! You ain't special!
Something about Destiel questions being banned from conventions...
And then...
Something instead about Good Omens, and letting the story adapt naturally, embracing the fanbase and leaning into the fanservice.
Something about Our Flag Means Death, and the genuine outpouring of love and affection between cast, crew, and fandom that culminated in an explosion of fanworks that were never once mocked or deemed gross or wrong.
Something about Sandman, and staunchly digging in their heels on the queerness of it all, refusing to give in to the homophobes and instead avidly mocking THEM on social media rather than us.
Something about the writers hearing about fandoms favourite ships and excitedly stating that YES! We DID lean into that because it happened naturally and made sense.
Something about a firefighter coming out as bisexual after 7 seasons...
So yeah, something about a new high quality show made FOR US. By creators that love US. Respect US, and WANT our love.
Something about US FINALLY being a target audience for the best shows being made on TV now.
Tumblrista catnip. Creators saying "we made this for you. You are important. Your voices have been heard."
It just... all got a bit overwhelming for a moment there.
