When history fails to shed light on the truth, myth creates its own.

Eadaz "Ead" du Zala uq-Nāra, Sabran Berethnet and Miduchi Tané from The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon.

i had the wonderful opportunity to visit @sshannonauthor at kinokuniya sydney on the 19th, and it was such a lovely and inspiring time to hear exactly how the world of priory was created and why things existed in it!

to anyone looking for a queer feminist retelling (of st. george and the dragon) with IMMENSELY engaging worldbuilding and characters, i do highly recommend priory!

[ID: a coloured digital drawing of eadaz, sabran, and tané. they’re standing next to each other, a part of one of the siden trees behind each one of them, panelled as if made of stained glass. ead is dressed in orange. she’s holding fire in her cupped hands. behind her is the orange tree. sabran is dressed in red. she’s holding a sword in front of herself, the blade pointing downward. behind her is the hawthorn tree. tané is dressed in blue. she’s crossing her arms, and behind her is the mulberry tree. /end ID]

It's Here!!!

*drumroll please*

Introducing:

This Is Hungry Work: A Hozier Inspired Anthology

(The above image is clickable, click it to be taken to a downloadable version of the anthology)

(The artwork for the cover image was done by Res Bratton.)

This is a fantastic free downloadable collection of writing and artwork, created by 32 dedicated creators, all for your enjoyment!

It Features:

- A clickable table of contents that will take you to the individual project. - A wide range of artwork, from digital illustrations to collages to the classic paper-and-pencil sketchwork. - Short stories featuring all manner of subjects, from Greek mythology, to broken relationships, haunting reflections of the past, and deep heartfelt confessions that seem to leap off of the page. - And finally, a complete social media page at the end of the document–so that you might share your affections with the individual creators of the work! Feel free to check out the other works by the creators (this can be found on the same social media page).

If you have any issues downloading the file–or wish to express your enjoyment of the work–feel free to dm this acocunt, or send us an email at [email protected]. If you would like to congratulate a specific artist, be sure to include their name in the subject line or within the dm, so the congratulations can get to the proper recipient.

Thank you so much for all of your love for this project, all of the contributors enjoyed the practice, and hope you enjoy!

padmé amidala and susan pevensie for @/savvyyart's Savvyy-Star-Wars-Sept on instagram! day 10: crossover.

i like to think padme & susan would be friends! the original concept for this was supposed to be a diplomatic meeting between the planets of naboo and narnia (with entirely new outfits) with another piece consisting of edmund flirting with anakin, but i ran out of time (sigh) so i simplified it a little :)
