I have returned to the scene of the irrelevant fanart crime

you can only have a true understanding of the casson family series once you realise and accept that they’re all autistic. yes, even bill. especially bill.

i’m rereading the casson family series and just now realising that none of these children are neurotypical. clearly.

October 13th - Many of us have stories we’ve created in connection with certain songs we’ve heard. For this day, try depicting even just a scene of that story and what song inspired it!

This is less of a story but more a feeling and memories that I get when I listen to the song, The Call by Regina Spektor. I absolutely love re-reading books (and re-watching movies and tv shows). There’s something so special about knowing that your favorite characters and stories will always be there for you to experience again and again. 

These lyrics just really evoke a lovely feeling of nostalgia, especially one you get when you revisit things that you have always loved so dearly.

“I'll come back When you call me No need to say goodbye

--

You'll come back when it's over No need to say goodbye”

So I drew the characters from my absolute favorite books, The Casson Family Series by Hilary McKay. These books are where I got my url, permanentrose. They are about a family in which the parents are artists and their four children are named after paint colors. From left to right, there’s Saffron (Saffy), Indigo, and Cadmium Gold (Caddy) holding baby Permanent Rose (Rose). I often draw these characters at older ages (the books technically span over about the course of about 11 years), so I decided to really capture that nostalgic feeling of drawing them while they were so young.

I’ve been re-reading the Casson Family Series this summer and remembered that I had created this url years ago with the intent to start a place to collect all things Casson but then forgot about it, so I’ve decided to start it now! I hope I can find other fans still lurking around here on tumblr who love these books as much as I do!

Indigo and Rose Casson from the Casson Family book series are autistic. Indigo has a special interest in artic exploration. Rose stims by eating paint and can be very blunt.

Also Caddy has ADHD inattentive subtype.

sometimes it's 2024 and you have to draw fanart for a book series you loved as a kid i don't make the rules
