Finished it

...........Okay, so I finally found it in myself to watch the last season of OUAT. xD What a hot mess. 

But finally wrapping up a series I loved is its own reward and I’m glad I took time out to do it.  ..... Damn, time to go rewatch all the Captain Swan clips on youtube.

The answer I gave my friend when she asked me why my day was bad:

I went to apple to get a screen protector for phone that was bought less than 24 hours ago from at&t store

turns out the phone was a little uneven so no protector would stay on. was told by apple manager to get refund from at&t.

 took it back to at&t, they said i am lying and nothing is wrong so i need written proof from the apple manager. 

drive back, no parking, get 15 min meter 5 blocks away. sprint like usain bolt back to apple and get the proof. sprint back.

 car stalls. 

the force of my anger restarts it after ten minutes.

 the force of my anger also causes nosebleed.

 go back to at&t, show them proof, sit there for forty five minutes while they incompetently refund me after fighting with both manager and district manager for charging me 55 dollars to return a faulty ass phone.

 finally go back apple to rebuy phone and after seeing the insanity in my eyes, apple manager gives me free screen protector and tells me to go home.

tldr;  at&t should be burned to the ground and three guys at apple stopped a homicide cause I woulda killed somebody. : I

Hello friends~ While searching for Xmas gifts for my close friends, I could not find a mug that was funny enough and specific enough to my needs... so I designed that shit myself. And I thought I would share with you guys in case you were interested in them. : ) 

Introducing the Fanfiction Crusader and Misunderstood Anime illustrations, I know at least some of you can identify with me on these. /cough

They are available on a variety of products (I got them made as mugs for friends and they turned out quite nice) on Redbubble! It’s not too late to snag these for Christmas and New Year!

Buy them here!

Hello friends, it’s been a while~

Since I am no longer making OUAT Xmas ornaments, I thought I would release the art I used for them to you guys for your own personal projects/gifts! You can now download the Emma Swan, Killian Jones, and Captain Swan Wedding image sets from my etsy for $5. 

Please note, PERSONAL USE ONLY! NO COMMERCIAL USE! <3

Buy the Set Here!!

Each image is a transparent PNG for easy use, you can print them out and glue them to things or make digital greetings/gifts~

I love the Aphrodite blessing lol

_____________

I know this comic looks horrible, but whatever. xD I’m reading the second Percy Jackson series finally and I just started the second book after thoroughly enjoying the first. Also, don’t ask me why the Aphrodite Blessing makes her look like an 80s’ beauty queen. IT JUST DOES. 

[bronzecurls-emeraldeyes]

Does the Aphrodite blessing whitewash too??

[pompeiiablaze]

I’m gonna say this again for the people in back who want to be outraged at a comic strip without taking a second to think about it: I know Piper is not white. I read all the books, just like you all.  

Please notice that no one has a skin color in the comics -- white of paper is not white of skin as white people are not actually paper white. While drawing these PJO comics (and you can check the other ones if you would like) I was not interested in drawing skin color -- no one has skin color.  I colored in everything that seemed relevant at the time because also I didn’t want to have to defend whatever shade of color I chose for skin. Why too dark? Why too light? It’s not important to the joke. : /  Don’t accuse me of white washing. I’m also not white, representation is important to me, but I didn’t want to have to fight all the time on tumblr about it. 

[pompeiiablaze]

Lol, so this happened. 

So y’all might have been wondering:  where has Pom been for the last few months? Why isn’t she posting more OUAT stuff?

Uh, this is a big reason why. 

I TRIED to join instagram, very late, to just upload artwork because right now I am doing commissions and trying to like...actually make some money because life is expensive : /  and honestly the constant stealing and then denying credit of my stuff has made me super tired. I love my OUAT fandom, but I feel like there’s no room for me anymore. Soooo... there’s that. Just an fyi <3

EDIT:  oh and then this person blocked me and put the same image back up without any comments. Because, you know, letting me have my name on my own art is really too much to ask. : )  Thanks @flipperbrain for sticking up for me <3

[pompeiiablaze]

Anything?

Everything??? : o  I really don’t know why anons ask these sorts of things lol. You know I can’t respond like this is a conversation, right?

character art commission done for @malum--in--se

Like this? Then commission me!

How I feel about my art and my tumblr right now is kinda like this:  

You get invited to a party and you’re hit with one of those rare moods where you’re like “Holy shit, I am gonna crank the grooming to eleven up in this bitch” and make sure to look the best you’ve looked in a while. And then you get to the party and realize everyone has already left, except 2-3 people who refuse to go home and spend the next hour and a half high fiving each other about how good that party was. 

[pompeiiablaze]

I just saw a guy spill coffee on his baby’s head at Trader Joes. Suddenly feeling much better about my future parenting skills.

[pompeiiablaze]

Yeah... We’ve all been there.

Happy Holidays, guys! I hope you managed to buy all your necessary goodies on time! And if you did not....well, good luck /cough. Sorry this comic is belated, but I’ve been busy and planning stuff for next year. Speaking of... I tried something new with the comics -- no hand written text or bubbles this time! Let me know which style you guys prefer, if any~ 

My headcanon for this is definitely that in those first few Christmases together, Killian tends to forget that it’s a thing and always goes shopping at the last minute after hanging up on Dave right in the middle of dad-bro-in-law explaining how he got Snow the most perfect gift about 5 months ago. NO ONE ASKED, MATE.

[pompeiiablaze]

God I love your art! I just love everything about them especially the colors hehe 💕 just bought myself the brb saving storybrooke cause it’s one of my favs.

Thank you so much! <3 And an extra thank you for buying something, I appreciate it A LOT especially during this extended period of financial distress /cry T_T

If anyone is thinking of grabbing stuff from my Redbubble, December is the time to do it! Redbubble is offering 20-25% off phone cases/skins and they switch up their coupon codes a lot the holiday season, so keep checking back. SUPPORT ME, PLEASE! \o/

[pompeiiablaze]

Good luck with House of Hades if you have made it that far.

So actually I finished both of the series in one piece (aside from this aching hole in my heart that I uselessly tried to fill with other books) and have been looking to start the one with Magnus Chase! And I WOULD, too, if my LIBRARY would GET ITS ACT TOGETHER. :I  .... Also being a grown ass woman walking into the children’s section like “YO WHERE MY NOVELS AT?” needs to be restricted to like...once every few weeks. /cough

So actually this is pretty much off topic, but I feel the need to address some of my previous comics because I keep getting these upsetting “why is piper white” messages and comments. Please do not paint me as a white washer because that is so far from the truth. I am as brown as the day is long, friends. Please take note that in my earlier comics I feared the tumblr hate, so NO ONE has skin tone. I repeat, NO ONE has skin tone, not even lil white Jason, so chill y’all. 

And to make a long, pointless reply even longer, I will say that I did have old PJO and HOO sketch ideas tucked away in a folder somewhere...I should really try to complete them /orz;; Maybe I will do that next year.

Winter is coming…

[pompeiiablaze]

nine months is a long time for a pirate to go dry

____________

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Apologies for how not funny this is. I am lacking in more Thanksgiving jokes ; o ;  But please accept my headcanon that Killian swears off alcohol for nine months in solidarity for his precious wife, until a moment of weakness at Thanksgiving where the Charmings, after meet and greets, go to the kitchen to find their son-in-law vampire-sucking all the rum syrup out of their cake /cough. 

[pompeiiablaze]

WINTER IS COMING...

So celebrate with my special Captain Swan wedding edition Christmas/Holiday ornament! Each ornament features my new CS wedding illustrations and the new phrase ‘A Happy Beginning’ D’AWWWWW. <3 Ornaments measure to be about 2.5″ in diameter, come with golden hanging loop, and each one is studded with small Vermilion Rose pink Swarovski crystal rhinestones. It’s real fancy ; D (which is also why each ornament is $15 + shipping!)

Made to order while supplies last, so order early~ :>

Buy them here!!

“Hello, Dearie,” sang a familiar voice. Killian ignored it. It had almost become background noise at this point, like the rush of blood in his veins, the rhythmic beat of his heart, the occasional noisy insect chirping outside the window.
