we are only a breath away in this bright summer air •°. *࿐

not only is it the amber spyglass' 25th (!!) anniversary this year, it's also been a whole ten (10!!!) years since I shared my first midsummer day art here on tumblr. to honour the occasion, I decided to redraw that very first artwork — I was rather proud of it at the time, and it started a now decade-long tradition of making hdm art every june.

it's mostly a sentimental record for myself, but some of you have also been following me for quite a few of those years, which I deeply appreciate.

here's to the power of stories, and for many more sunlit midsummers to come 💛

Not really a fan of this one because I didn't capture his exasperated face and the bad attempt at drawing a bg🥲 (First day of school ended and instead of studying i drew this XD)

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

part of the reason I think it’s so sad that we collectively write so few stories about unrequited love is bc I feel like there’s very little public acknowledgment of how much it sucks to be the one somebody is in unrequited love with??? and not in a way of like, oh they’re crossing boundaries or putting expectations on me or whatever. becoming close friends with someone and then finding out they’re in love with you and you don’t love them back the same way is heartbreaking, bc a) someone you love is in pain and there is literally nothing you can do about it, and b) it usually means that whether you like it or not there’s going to be distance in your friendship that wasn’t there before as they try to get over you. idk man I just feel like we’ve all discussed the tragedy of loving someone who doesn’t love you back quite a lot and very rarely discuss the tragedy of finding out the way that you love someone just isn’t enough.

It is actually crazy how being an ugly middle school girl impacts you forever. Like for years you believe that if you have a crush on someone you are evil and you’re making them uncomfortable. And that’s even BEFORE you realize you’re a lesbian.
