I know it's not erlu week anymore *but* this is the last one I wanted to finish (sorry for the weekend stuff 🥲)

Day 5: fairy tale/knight

This one is very obviously rapunzel-inspired (and Erza is apparently in AOT now haha)

I wanted to focus on more of a big scene rather than what I have been doing soooo, this is the result 😌

((Also I don't own any disney or tangled related characters,,))

It was wonderful seeing all of your creations! Thank you for showing Erlu so much love over the course of this week <3

Although the event is over, late entries are always welcome! The AO3 collection will stay open indefinitely and I'll keep monitoring the Erlu Week hashtags. To make sure I don't miss your entry, please remember to mention the blog in your post.

For Erlu Week Day 3: Pirates/Longing

~~ finally got to posting my day 3 for erlu week 😌 i love my yearning and longing queens

This is what was in my mind when doing my comic for day 1 actually haha

Warnings: mild depiction of violence (one scene in the middle when a storm hits) and mild mentions of abusive parent. All very mild and not graphic

Erlu Week Day 2: bathing/keys

This took sooo long to render because I was playing around with brushes, turns out I really like the pastels look 😌

I think Erza would be the total "silent adoration" type so she'd shoot Lucy 10000x loving stares
