I haven't used this blog since 2016 SO time for a revamp and getting rid of my nasty old art 😅
Hello! If you have stumbled cross this blog, welcome! Not sure how you found yourself here but glad to have you. This is where I will be posting my art; yay!
I currently am terminal about Hollanov/Heated Rivalry so that will be the main focus of this blog. If that doesn't boat your float, then this is not the mediocre art blog for you 😂
I've never been great at posting on tumblr BUT I will try, once again. I will say I am most active on Instagram & Twitter if you'd like to witness my descent into madness in real time.
I also need more people to chat about Hollanov so if you're up for having conversations with a social-awkward person, I'm available, haha.
I was...A bit overwhelmed with how much love my little baby Shane and Spaghetti got, so first off, thank you! I'm not used to my art like...Blowing up like how it did so I appreciate all the love and glad people like it ;;v;;
That being said, if I had known it was gonna get so much attention, I would've done better rendering 😅
I had a total of 3 ideas to doodle for this fic (I get inspired by fics UvU) and decided that with this second one, I would actually complete the rendering this time, haha.
For this one, we get "Exposure Therapy" with Shane and Spaghetti for Ilya! I personally thought this was funny but if you don't, that's fine 😅
I am VERY happy with the rendering and anatomy and all that. Shane's hair always gives me trouble, short or long, and that was what took me a few tries.
Oh that and the SNAKE. I was looking at a LOT of creamsicle corn snakes and tried my best. I don't usually draw animals but I guess Spaghetti just managed to worm his way into my heart 😅
Hope people like this! Please read "Serpentine" by @penandinkprincess
Or any of her Hollanov fics. Or any of her fics in general
Oh, and here are they above images without text so you can...Appreciate them:
Shane getting criticized for not using pride tape and he’s caught on a mic later that week saying I didn’t realize it wasn’t the sucking dick that made me gay but the rainbow . Which is how he comes out.
Since I got so much love on my first piece, I’ve decided to draw the other few ideas I had! I will not be making the same mistake twice and will be fully rendering these ones 🫡
On another note, I HATE drawing Shane’s hair, short or long. It always takes a couple tries to get right and I don’t LIKE IT 😩😭
Anywho, here’s a snippet of my next artwork. I am VERY proud of the anatomy on this, but I can’t show the body as it would spoil the entire piece so….🤫
I am a sucker for gift art (most of my HR art at this point IS gift art for fanfics, oops). Read "Serpentine" by @penandinkprincess and I LOVE Spaghetti and I love baby Shane having an unconventional pet! So I wanted to doodle the two babies together OvO
Put baby Shane in a Centaur's jersey because I DO know some of the lore (I did purchase the Game Changers series but I have yet to read them as I am instead reading fanfic 😅).
Also reminded me of when **I** was 8 and I got to see/pet a little baby snake at the pet store; it was a black ribbon snake and honestly I would've love to have it but no pets for me till I was 10, and by then it was rodents so I guess it was a missed connection YuY
Though my mom DID like snakes so like-not a completely similar experience to Shane and Yuna, haha.
Anyways that's that on that. Please read check out the fic!
You made me cry. Actual tears. So I wrote a thing for you, and I have no idea whether this is a thing I'm allowed to post on AO3 or whether it needs to go in tumblr or what, because social rules & etiquette around fanfic confuse the heck out of me. Anyway, this is for you.

Time Limit
Shane had known, almost from the first, that there was a time limit on their relationship. He had known, and he had set it aside, because looking at it straight on…
He looks now.
His phone buzzes. He knows that it’s his mom. He can’t talk to her, not with the memory of her initial dislike suddenly clear in his mind. He remembers her face when she met him, and he can’t bring himself to tell her it’s over.
Shane thinks of the night before, of sitting with Ilya and Spaghetti on The Couch. Thinks of Spaghetti sliding neatly over his wrist and coiling gently onto Ilya’s, and the moment of stillness, the three of them linked.
Looking at the vivarium, resplendent in the corner, Shane feels the world blur again. Custom-built splendour, designed to be permanent. He leans against the blue wall and thinks about how to dismantle the tank. He thinks about moving. He thinks about going back to being two after having been three. He thinks about how love isn’t enough.
But putting things off doesn’t make them any easier.
The catch on the glass doors is strong. Strong enough to withstand a curious snake. Escape-proof, Shane thinks bitterly. He unlatches the doors, and gently reaches in to lift Spaghetti.
“Come on, Spaghetti, it’s time to go.” Shane’s voice is the same as ever. Calm, matter-of-fact. He’ll find a good place for them both, and then figure out how to deal with the tank, what to say to Ilya (if Ilya ever comes back), when to tell his parents. Spaghetti, coiled in his hands, says nothing, passes no judgement.
Ilya is waiting outside.
“I got you a pot. Is nice.”
“What the fuck, Ilya. You left. I don’t have time for games.” Shane’s life has turned upside down. He’s in no mood for whatever this is.
“No, sweetheart, look. Look. Is good for your friend.”
Shane reluctantly looks away from Spaghetti and sees a blue glazed pot, just right for a corn snake to curl up inside. And next to it, a potted dahlia, the exact orange of Spaghetti’s creamsicle swirls. It’s just like Ilya to leave without telling Shane, and bring back something so perfect.
“Will you help me?”
Ilya nods. Together, without words, they lay Spaghetti gently to rest on a bed of leaves and soft black earth. They cover him up and settle the dahlia on top.
“Should we –”
“Too soon, Ilya.”
“You don’t know what I was going to say.”
Shane smiles, watery. “You can’t just get another snake, Ilya. You have to think about it carefully. They live for twenty years or more in captivity.”
