Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I could have SWORN I read that Rhysand, whenever he visited Tamlin, would basically mentally torture him by showing images of himself (Rhysand) and Feyre together. We know he says and does things on purpose to get a rise out of him, but I seriously could've swore it was stated he did this. Someone please help me remember if this is right??
And if so what book/page it may be on?? Thank you so much!
Something something it was always going to end this way.
Process under the break!
EDIT: I have a poll running now to gauge interest for buying this as a print. It will be my pinned post for a week! Now back to your regularly scheduled post.
A piece has never consumed me quite like this one did. I spent every spare minute making DOTS for A WEEK. I skipped class to work on this! I SKIPPED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. I LOVE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY ANDI SKIPPED IT FOR THIS.
Because this was an assignment for my drawing class, it was very well documented.
This assignment was called The Vehicle Project.
Firstly, we needed to explore all the directions we could go, which was a problem for me since I decided I was making Iron Lung fanart for this project after I had seen the movie. As a part of this, we needed to explore different objects that could be incorporated, but again, I was dead set on making that submarine lol.
Because our vehicle needed a minimum of two wheels, I needed to adjust the submarine’s design a little bit and decided to put water wheels in those tube things.
And then my next decision was to make the eldritch eel using stippling (shading with dots). On my 18 x 24 inch paper…
Pro tip: Don’t do that if you have any self respect.
I spent days stippling, getting what felt like zero progress done.
And then the dots were finished.
And then I have no progress shots of me painting it because I was deliriously painting until 5 AM the morning it was due. I do have what I submitted though.
And I didn’t like it lol. Don’t trust any decision made after 3 AM, pro tip. I revisited it over a week after submitting it and got rid of the pink on its face (what was I thinking?) and made the text brighter and more luminous.
Weirdly enough, the most miserable part of this project wasn’t even the stippling. I got used to that, it was relaxing even. The fucking letters gave me the most trouble. I hate painting letters never make me do it again <- gonna have to do it again.
Anyways that has been my contribution to the Iron Lung hype on this lovely site.
I'm writing this post while I cry, in the worst way possible
I genuinely can't believe sjm wrote this, read, re-read, sended to an editor and every time thought "this is great"
I can't blame anyone but me for expecting something else. I knew it would happen, yet that was such a slap on my face.
We finally get the confrontation, Rhysand will finally talk about UtM and what he did! How I was hoping for this moment, where Feyre and Rhysand can talk about his actions and it how affected her‐
It's about Rhysand. It's about Rhysand and his feelings, not a single apology, not a single attempt to understand how Feyre feels. Just one more moment of the sad pity party of "boo-hoo how little rhysie suffers 🥺"
It hit close to home for me because I remembered about how everyone around me was so focused on my sa'er feelings that in the end nothing was done about it and I still had to live with him.
Sjm really wrote this and went about how she couldn't give Tamlin a redemption arc because people saw their abusers on him
That's what made me so mad about her podcast. Stating that TAMLIN is a piece of shit and deserves to rot in hell. But Rhysand is allowed to make mistakes, and torture, and abuse. And all is forgiven.
I just... SHE. STARTED. AN. ARC. FOR. HIM. THE. MOMENT. HE. GAVE. A. KERNELLLLLLLLLL. TO. RHYSAND. (Again, Not that he even NEEDED one!) He gave Rhysand, his enemy- ENEMY- a kernel of his power. For feyre to be happy, and WITHOUT him!
TAMLIN GIRLIES!!! For Henry's birthday on April 2 (Tamlin's voice actor), I want to send him messages from his fans! Please comment below, and I will send them all to him in cute little springy canva squares! Feel free to add your name/IG username or simply put "a fan" if you would rather remain anonymous 💚💚💚
I'm currently reading an epic redemption story and it's giving the ultimate reward of a story. And it got me thinking... the more need for redemption the better. For instance, this character I'm currently reading did some pretty effed up things but seeing him redeemed, seeing him acknowledged, loved, understood and heroic..is healing and satisfying and aww-mazing. And so I really want that for Tamlin's story line.
The fact that after listening to SJM'S podcast and her saying she doesn't know anymore about making one for him is kind of wild to me. "It invalidates the DV friends and survivors out there."
Uhm, girl you already STARTED a redemption arc when Tamlin gave HIS KERNEL TO HIS ENEMY TO SAVE HIM- FOR FEYRE'S SAKE AND HAPPINESS.
What DID Tamlin do that was abusive? He never laid hands on her. Never sexually assaulted her. The one time harm came to Feyre was in ACOWAR by her decision because she baited him into an anger explosion cause she knew exactly what to say and do to make him furious. And also allowed her shield to be down.
All Tamlin did was for Feyre and the people of his Court.
"He's a piece of shit and deserves to rot in hell." -SJM (Call Her Daddy Podcast)
For what? WHAT. DID. TAMLIN. DO.
Require protective escorts? Allow her time and space for her hobbies? Guard her in the night when he was riddled by nightmares himself? PROTECT HER IGNOARNT ASS FROM THE WAR FRONT, HELLO?!?!
I'm so sick of it, dude. He doesn't even need a redemption arc cause he never did anything wrong.
My first pencil drawn sketch for this year! It's been such a long time, I forgot how much I love drawing with pencil and paper lol
Went to watch Iron Lung and I have thoughts on it. But I really wanted to draw this. It was stuck in my head for a few days and I finally had the time to draw it out!
I know it's messy lol but that's why it's a rougher sketch of mine.
I'm gonna draw it cleaner on my iPad and color it!
