i'm a big sucker for a diegetic piece of art/literature serving as a mirror to the story's characters, so naturally the illustration of the poem about a silverleaf tree falling in love with a star from chapter 47 of WHA *had* to be redrawn as Qifrey and Oru ✨🍃

tip jar!

aaand a rotated version under the cut for easier Oru appreciation!

I’m not super proud of how this turned out but after 11 hours I finally finished it!! One of these days I’ll get better at drawing environments and backgrounds

the thing about growing up with siblings in an abusive household is that ultimately you're each other's jail wardens and whipping boys and that does things to you no matter how much you sincerely love each other and understand why it happened the way it did and wish you could have been big and strong enough to save both of you

As Two Trans Candidates Win Scottish Parliament Bids, J.K. Rowling Praises Anti-Trans Loser

The ‘Harry Potter’ author is posting through it.

“Hope. All we ask for is hope,” Duane wrote on Instagram Stories shortly after her victory, per People. Manivann, who is a trans Tamil immigrant, told a crowd of onlookers after their victory, “I am to some in this country everything that the hateful despise and I am standing here as your MSP now with care,” as The Independent reported.

J. K. Rowling's now represented in Parliament by a trans woman. 😊

[transkojiro]

unless she's moved, rowling is now represented by a non binary trans person who goes by they/them, actually. let's keep the facts honest and joyous, yeah? <3

anyway. the hugest congrats to both of them. i wish them both the absolute best

This doesn’t include the best bit of the whole thing - she found the Twitter thread!

[black-feather-fiction]

This is like one of those romance novels where people bond over accidentally writing each other emails but better.

Like Pride and Prejudice but instead of the love interest getting dissed for his toxicity and then reforming, it’s just two people bonding over dissing a dead toxic asshole.

10/10 would recommend
