i was scrolling through pinterest and found this funny photo of two friendsâŠand of course wolfstar was the first thing that came into my mind. i sketched it out but honestly i dont like how the final look is. i think the sketch was much better.
this isnt normally what i postâŠbut here is a draco malfoy character sheet in honor of me meeting tom! (pic of us under cut)
im not very fond of draco himself, but i had the biggest crush on tom my whole childhood. heâs an angel! i wouldve loved to see the show but i refuse to give jkr money⊠id love to draw some drastoria sometime too so look forward to it in the future heheâŠ
(also, if you cant tell, my favorite thing about him is his nose lol..)

also snuck in some stancy ;) this is all s4 nancy (my fav verson appearance wise). s4 is awesome already, but itâd be the best season if stancy were still together
"fuck jkr" yet you continue to fandom post about harry potter when people have said not to give it any positive attention... curious đ€š
i didnt know posting my OWN art was supporting jkr đ€đ€ ive never funded jkr, i grew up with the series and itâs simply nostalgia. drawing has been a hobby of mine for nearly 10 years. i onky recently started experimenting with characters/people(i only paint landscapes and such). i dont even watch the movies off of streaming platforms anymore (i đŽââ ïž them or use old dvds from like 2000). next time i enjoy MY hobby i will keep this in mind
not a prompt, just wanted to say your drawings are so pretty and well done!! they make me so happy to look at, thank you for sharing <3
thank you so so much!! ahhh im so sorry, i apparently dont get notifs for my ask box :,)
a little something i drew in my free time bc i saw a pinterest ref (if ur wondering why my style looks super different from my last post itâs bc ive been practicing on changing it)
this is what the common room looks like behind them, itâs super unfinished bc i got sooo lazy and didnt wanna finish it lol but i thought at least the walls were worth showing off!
a little something i drew in my free time bc i saw a pinterest ref (if ur wondering why my style looks super different from my last post itâs bc ive been practicing on changing it)
they be hugging goodnight / goodmorning like that and then claim theyâre just friends. yea okay guys we all believe you.
romione, even pre relationship, having a very touchy friendship is very canon to me. i like that theyâre both in each others personal spaces. squish them more together.
in my head their flirty/touchy friendship is canon. this is basically me pushing my barbies together to kiss
a little something i drew in my free time bc i saw a pinterest ref (if ur wondering why my style looks super different from my last post itâs bc ive been practicing on changing it)
so i rewatched titanic a couple days agoâŠ
please mind the qualityâŠif anything this is a colored sketch lol. i have the famous âjack, i want you to draw me like one of your french girlsâ scene(as well as the ~car scene~) all drawn out, so you guys let me know if thatâs something youd wanna see on my twt account đ
also, please give me lighting tips!!
four kisses
as if canon hermione isnt also blackđ
my hermiome is based on how i see her in the books (with inspiration from other artists as well)âŠjust because i drew a scene from the movies doesnt mean i have to draw her white..sigh.
the babies :(
u guys they have my heart. (speedpaint under the cut)
the importance of art and safety.
(in this period of descent into fascism)
If you're a liberal/left-leaning person like me, you have been voraciously keeping up with local, provincial/state and federal politics, and with the world news, using all avenues available to you to try and make sense of the tumultuous time were living through. And thus, with each passing day, you've probably been inundated with the F-word more and more from the news/political commentators you follow, from the images attached in the articles you read, and the academics and journalists you trust. Fascism. With the recent ruling from the UK Supreme Court saying that the legal definition of a woman is solely going to be rooted in biology and seeing the jubilant celebration surrounding it, I canât help but feel like we just took one more monumental step in the global death march towards fascism.
Iâm scared and very worried.
Of course, this isnât really about my own personal feelings of fear because overall, I will be quite alright. Iâm a bisexual, leftist woman and arts and culture person living in Canada, in a dependably liberal-to-progressive riding and city. Yes, my country has a federal election coming up and there is a chance we might (strong emphasis on âmightâ) elect a right-wing reactionary buffoon of our own in the form of Pierre Poilievre, but center and left-of-center Canadians were given a hail Mary in the new liberal party leader Mark Carney, whoâs performing better in the early polls everyday. So, we might not have to worry that much at all. Yes, the cost of living is still abysmal (as my friends and I keep saying: girl, the tariffs), and going through lifeâs very human struggles is still excruciating but ultimately, bearable. Spring, the best season, is well on its way and the days are getting longer and you see that your neighbourâs tulip bulbs are peaking out from the soil and youâre able to go home and give your cat a big kiss on the cheek as they reward you with an annoyed and disgruntled meow.
And so you feel emotionally regulated enough to then go on your daily news binge and find that another university student in the US got black-bagged for expressing pro-Palestine views, you see images of the destruction of Gaza and the concentration prison/camps in El Salvador, and then that the boomer British lady who authored the books that have been bringing so much joy and fulfillment to your art practice donated 70 000 euros to a feminist organization that was the plaintiff fighting to disenfranchise an already marginalized minority group. And youâre left feeling quite⊠dirty and doom-ridden and powerless while standing in the middle of the cushy imperial core.
Your cat who was annoyed you picked them up earlier has forgiven you now, though, and is headbutting you for some catnip.
But this isnât about me, not in the slightest. I/we know how these things go. Iâm not a history buff by any means (though I really want to be) but I have a basic enough understanding of world history to know weâre already in the throes of fascism: with the targeting and scapegoating of vulnerable minorities like the trans community or the complete hatred and want for disposal of migrants â I feel a deep and suffocating grief for my fellow comrades.
This pain, I believe, is all our duties as human beings with the gift and responsibility of empathy, to feel.
Iâm also hyperaware that with the downward fall into fascism comes the defunding and eventual erasure and censorship of art. Now Iâm not saying my art is worthy or important enough to be censored. But I am saying we need art; we need as much of it as there can be for our emotional needs which is imperative for our survival. I donât mean to say this in a hyperproduction/hyper consuming way, of course, we just need human artists, humane art (whatever that means to you) now more than ever.
Iâm a political person, and my leftist and feminist principles and values I think show up quite plainly in my work but again, I donât think Iâm making anything radical here â my art I think is just one small piece in a greater human need to make and experience art. Therefore, Iâd be remiss to say it wasnât important. I know my work is important in that I know it means something to people. This community here for instance, or on twitter/x, Instagram or tiktok, which I feel like the luckiest person alive to have somehow conjured, that means something to me, and Iâd be glaringly obtuse if I didnât acknowledge it. So, I sincerely want you to know my art exists not only as the physical manifestation of this vocation of mine, but also as a source of safety and comfort for your senses, if you need it to be.
As much as I want to be, Iâm not an activist, Iâm just an artist. And my art is the one (I hope) iron-clad thing I can give to the world and the beautiful, worthy of lives of dignity, people within it. Joy and comfort arenât a solid political program on its own and I know art consumption alone is not going to lead us to liberation, self-determination and lives of dignity. But, my god, do we still need joy, comfort and safety in the form of art to get through each day.
To my nonbinary and trans friends and siblings, I am so, so fucking sorry powers greater than us are using you as pawns for political theatre, and that so many restless people are using you as political punching bags. The world weâre living through is incredibly unfair and unjust at the moment. Your pain is our pain, none of us are free until all of us are free. So, I want you to know that my little pictures and I are here, fighting alongside you.
I know Harry Potter, the IP and the storyworld with its characters, isnât whatâs causing our dissent into fascism. And I know, realistically, Iâm not the devilâs spawn for still liking it, for making cute artwork of the titular main characterâs best friends for its fandom. I canât explain in words why I feel such an affinity to this story, this very entry-level story about fighting fascism, with its anti-social megalomaniac villain and its painfully liberal/reformist politics. My pull towards it is deep, abstract, and almost spiritual, and if I could succinctly put these feelings and magnetism into words, I probably wouldnât be making this much art like my life depended on it. And the awful truth of it is, Iâve never been more artistically fulfilled. Iâm so happy while making this work and my cup becomes fuller after each drawing, I selfishly donât want to stop. Does that make me awful?
A lot of my peers, fellow fanartists, have been considering leaving the fandom altogether and itâs left me feeling a kind of panic because, quite frankly, I donât want to. Not until the creative reserve (which is rooted in my love and other abstract feelings for the story) within me has run dry, which it hasnât. And after I realized this, I felt a little ashamed that I wasnât feeling what others are also feeling, but I think the knee-jerk reaction to leave and disavow this community because of the cartoonishly mean-spirited author (who ironically made this story about love, friendship and fighting fascism) also feels hasty and reactionary. I understand the impulse, I really do. I recognize I have a vested interest in saying this, but I sincerely think we need art now more than ever, if any of my peers are reading this: your art. Thoughtful art, art that is an exercise in empathy. Iâm also saying this because I feel a deep sense of responsibility to my friends (majority of whom are also queer and trans) Iâve made through our shared love of this story, to fellow fans and the people Iâve been privileged enough to have touched with my art.
This discomfort of still harboring love for this flawed but ultimately lovable and beloved story during this time of political unrest and chaos, and continuing to express my love for it by creating artwork for it⊠is something I will just have to live with until itâs run its course. I donât think this is a righteous grief by any means â I think the mundanity of it is whatâs making it especially annoying.
Quivering in the face of good art is I think one of the best feelings in the world, and though I sincerely believe the HP story to be good and adequate in its political and class commentary, this squirming isnât exactly that. Iâm immensely (and selfishly) resentful to JKR for being the mean-spirited bully/troll that she is, not only do I wish she werenât a right-wing reactionary, I wish her tomfoolery didnât make me squirm uncomfortably (the word Iâm looking for here is âcringeâ) while still genuinely enjoying this work. Nonetheless, Iâm confident in my ability to engage with this story intelligently and I hope to continue to share my thoughts and love for this narrative through posts and meta/cultural analyses and many, many drawings of Ron and Hermione kissing. I am also steadfast in my political convictions, which are so much older than the just-over-a-year-old love I have for these books. My political convictions which have always been and will always continue to be pro-trans, feminist, anticapitalist and grounded in my love and empathy for people.
I donât have all the answers to how and why we are so drawn to certain stories and characters and tribes (because fandom in a fundamental way acts like a tribe), and why we so profoundly need to keep making and keep experiencing art. Or how to even best live with the contradictions that exist within and outside of us. Iâm just a young artist, still in the infancy of my career in many ways, but something in my bones is telling me this is important work, and I should keep doing it â with all its squirming discomfort, and its wonderful, beautiful fulfillment.
Again, we are living through incredibly difficult times, but we must make it through, and we will. I will keep making work that I hope is thoughtful and politically principled, and I hope youâre able to find some joy and comfort in them as I do while making them.
