Things Worth Dying For

Reviving this page after almost a decade because I hit my mid-twenties and decided that cringe was dead and it’s okay to love things.

Tea time with Tom Riddle for @augustuscaesarsalad

Contrary to popular belief, I love drawing characters I don't usually draw. I just never remember to draw them. Thank Caesar Salad for reminding me and planting this image in my head.

First commission from this batch!

A photobooth strip with Remus and Sirius. I went ahead and ripped it in half, so each one of them can have a piece.

It feels like a while since I drew these characters and looking back at all of my drawings of them I'm suddenly very aware of a massive inconsistency with their character designs, but what can I say. It changes with my mood. Today you all get to see Remus with very hairy hands.

I like to think they took these pictures on a very irresponsible London escapade to buy Harry their iconic OotP joint Christmas gift.

For @shedevil1989

Still some slots open for commissions!

“How come she married him?” Harry asked miserably, “She hated him!“ 

“Nah, she didn’t,”

“Why are they all staring?“ demanded Albus as he and Rose craned around to look at the other students.

 "Don’t let it worry you,” said Ron. “It’s me. I’m extremely famous.”

[ RECAST THE DREAMCAST ] Chris Fleicher as James Potter James Potter was a paradox spinning out of control, a maddening mixture of fire and ice, passionate and vulnerable and detached. Yes, he was one of those boys who unwittingly broke hearts on a daily basis and seemed like a dream, unreal and untouchable. He was the reckless sort, the sort who lived on the brutal edge and played with forest fires. (x)

Okay but like actually this is the most thoughtful gift IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

It might seem to make more sense to give Ron the precious family heirloom (remember that Molly’s brother Fabian died in the First Wizarding War; Molly has held onto his watch out of sentimentality since then). But Ron is the sixth son in his (canonically financially-struggling) family. He’s been forced into hand-me-downs his whole life. If he’d gotten the watch with a dent in the back, he wouldn’t have appreciated it; he’d only have seen the flaw. And if his mum bought Harry a new watch instead of getting Ron one, Ron would have resented that. A new watch was a worthwhile expense to get Ron a rare taste of the luxury and individual attention he has always craved.

Harry, though. Harry has money; Harry has new things. What Harry does not have is family. Harry is an orphan. Other than one photo album and the invisibility cloak, he doesn’t have anything that came with family history attached. What Molly does here is give him that; she makes him part of the family, symbolically, by giving him an emotionally significant if physically imperfect item. She gives him love in a tangible form.

WIZARDING SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD: VENICE

If the city of Venice seems a confounding maze of canals and narrow alleyways, then the Venetian Academy for the Magically Gifted can only be described as a dangerous labyrinth of corridors, many in various stages of submerge. Wild magical marine animals inhabit abandoned hallways, and the sound of rushing water echoes in empty classrooms at night. The school is housed mostly underwater in sunken parts of the city that linger undetected below Venice with a few buildings scattered throughout the island. In the years when Venice flourished with prosperity, the magic and non-magic folk mingled with affection, particularly during the Carnival of Venice during which muggle folk would be quite taken with the charmed flourishes decorating witches and wizards’ masks. As a result of these close interactions, most inhabitants of Venice harbour faint traces of magic in their blood, most of whose power—however little and insignificant—manifest in one’s elder years, or sometimes not at all. Although, there are often whisperings that tell of Venetians’ strange ability to walk on water. Some swear to have heard the sound of pattering footsteps on the canals, usually at night time on days when the fog is particularly heavy. Other claim of shapes of men and women passing over the water. No one knows, except for the inhabitants themselves.
