[gay-flyboys]

I’m ready for the rainy season again

[gay-flyboys]

Please it’s like 70 degrees at 5 am I miss this being the high I miss it not hitting 60, in fact. I miss it always being overcast and the smell of petrichor and generally rain-soaked cement and having to time taking my dog out bc I don’t wanna get him soaked

Fascinating literary choice by Maiga to have it so very clear that this story is being told to someone in some capacity—written, told verbally, in some epic poem that’s since been written down—when like. She didn’t have to do that. That was not necessary.

Personally, I’m a fan of the third thing, given that Ancient Greek poets (I think, I’m not looking this up) often recited to music. Mr. Idk what I wanna do outside of live in Sahnt and be a musician and also maybe change some things up being the equivalent to fucking Homer, using his spellsongs for community and storytelling and the like is soooo buzzy to me, man

(I’m sure there are more examples of this but I did a very cursory search for what I had off the top of my head.)

Four second Leo and Grimm doodles bc I’m trying to figure out how to draw them. (I have not been able to recreate Leo but luckily Grimm takes no time or thoughts to draw)

“I turned to look desperately at Grimm and found him staring…at me, sword loose in his hand like he’d forgotten it was there at all. His eyes were wide and far more helpless than I’d known Grimm could look.” — Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy

I was inspired by this scene to try doing a rack focus to convey the shift from Leo’s internal thoughts to noticing Grimm’s expression, which is a fancy way of saying I messed around with Gaussian blur (my beloved) until I thought it looked cool.

Bonus: based on my friends comments on my WIP

Leovander with flowers in his hair.. (Plus another drawing of Leo and Grimm with their flower crowns)

See the problem with me relistening to SASM is that now that’s all I want to consume. I can already feel it. I’m almost done and then I’m gonna want to reread it again.

[gay-flyboys]

Gay bitches (grimmlove sketches inspired by, in no particular order: chapter 13 of the book, conversations with @garlicgravy and @leovanders) (and also a secret third thing) (they get to be mildly horny) (horny below the cut) (also the full canvas bc I’m sure yall care so much)

[leovanders]

If you could ask Maiga Doocy for one Grimm POV scene from book 1, which would you pick?

Drunk Leo ripping Grimm's sash

Leo sending Grimm bugs and then jumping in the lake

The Dwull Family Dinner

The first spellsong in the field of sunflowers

Leo's childhood story + bonus sleep command

The argument and kiss

The Hand Lick + Grimm's perspective on the outlaws

Leo mending Grimm's sash

"Draw your sword Loveage" + cave conversation

The gap of time when Leo is unconscious from magical depletion

The final rain spellsong

None/Other option (put it in the notes or tags, tell me what I missed!)

Voting ended onAug 2

i know maiga has said that the entire trilogy will be leo pov, but we can dream, right?

[gay-flyboys]

It’s thinking about wrath!roy hours again uh oh

[garlicgravy]

Thinking about Leo mentioning a cantrip that would "move freckles around on a person's body", and this makes me consider whether this MIGHT imply that Grimm has freckles (facial and/or bodily), in order to tell that the cantrip worked.. which is why I draw Grimm with freckles, especially since he was a flower farmer, being out in the sun taking care of flowers all the time,,

BUT this could also imply Leo has freckles if the cantrip was casted on HIM, we'll never know though,, but Leo with body freckles?? I just know Grimm would be MEMORIZED at a shirtless bodily- freckled Leo,, a word I'd describe for a bodily- freckled Leovander Loveage would be "sunkissed"

Just my visionary headcanon on Grimm (or Leo if you prefer) having freckles, I'm spreading this propaganda 💥

[pansyfemme]

[bagofcoldnoodles]
