god im reading a text about romance fiction (especially targeted at young adults) for class and one sentence in it literally made my brain explode because ive been thinking about this kind of stuff too, how “Many people wouldn’t fall in love if they’ve never heard about it before.” and like…imagine there was no ideal/overaccentuated image of love and romance painted in postmodern mass media….how would we love? would it be purer? more authentic? what would we do differently? would we fall in love at all if we werent constantly being fed an ideal concept of love as the norm in mass media? like what is a natural process of human feelings and what is just a projection of how we want to love and want to be loved based on what we’ve seen on tv and read in books etc? in this essay i will

I finally finished my painting and I’m SO HAPPY!!! I literally love this books series with all my heart and I had to draw something worthy of it. I’ve been trying to start this project for so long and now I finally get to see the finished result!!? I feel like a mother 😭   (Commissions are open again!)

All three of my Six of Crows couples portraits. I felt so much from this series, felt so much for these characters and the very different relationships that progressed throughout the books. Thank you, Leigh, for making something beautiful and fun and heartbreaking all in the space of a few hundred pages. One of the highlight reads of my life.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me kind messages - I unfortunately can’t respond to them all, but it’s been so much fun working these characters into visual life and having you all raving and gushing along the way. I really really love you guys

semi-unidentified snippet from Chain of Gold

Keeping the secrets of who might get together with who, end up with who, or even have a fling with who is important to me where it comes to TLH…so I found this bit that doesn’t give anything away after a tiny edit. ;) 

He took a deep breath, and crossed the floor of blades and constellations to the other boy’s side. He stood at the foot of the stairs, looking down.

“But of course,” he said, very softly, “your sentiments are reciprocated.”

He stooped over him, tilting his chin up. Their lips met. The other boy made a soft sound, almost like surrender, stretching under his body. He slid an arm around his neck and pulled him down onto the stairs.

“Well, it’s a bit ironic, isn’t it?”

“What do you mean?”

“All that effort to convince you I wasn’t in love with you, and here I am, dying in your arms.”

Exclusive Sneak Peek (Part 1!)

[sockmonstergotstyle]

Me: Herondales are rude and often dickheads but get away with it because they have a ‘dark past’ and a six pack which somehow justifies their broody and arrogant behaviour making them very cliché in YA fiction and it bores me.

Cassandra Clare: *slides Kit Herondale across the table*

Me: well yeah he’s cool, but there’s still more –

Cassandra Clare: *pushes James Herondale towards me*

Me: k he’s good too but –

Cassandra Clare: *catapults Lucie Herondale in my general direction*

Me: alright FINE I love them Jesus fucking Christ…
