One thing I really love about The Folk of the Air trilogy is how Cardan and Jude are mutually shitty to each other and to others. This is such a true, genuine 'enemies to lovers' that I have not actually seen with characters that possess so many flaws.

I love that Jude isn't love-struck and following Cardan like a puppy. I am glad she's not constantly talking about how "hot" he is and she is not instantly in-love with him. She is her own person with ambition and is willing to actually do what it takes to get what she wants. She doesn't only think about it or have it suddenly handed to her, she acts on her desires and achieves them. Frequently getting hurt in some way in the process, too.

Cardan has genuine cruelty that he isn't afraid to lean into, genuine vulnerability and the ability to fully admit it without making excuses. He isn't physically domineering and built so big he can't fit in a doorway. He's a spoiled little pretty boy.

These two were backstabbing each other and pissing each other off constantly. They were taunting and threatening and angry. They were frustrated. They were disgusted. The hate between them was real and mutual.

The Folk of the Air trilogy isn't a one-sided 'MMC is shitty and abusive to the soft, loving FMC but he's really been a good guy all along and he's loved her since before she was even born and all the hate they felt was sexual attraction because of a mating bond created by the stars' story.

Jude and Cardan wrote their fates; separately and together. They fought for their lives, they fought for their loves, and they fought for and with each other.

im not even gonna be humble i think i cooked SO hard with this one lmao and i had so much fun, i usually don't use textured brushes but I THINK I WILL FROM NOW ON

i had way too much fun with the hair

i don't know if the science is sciencing with that sky but i don't really care

what i had in mind while drawing this was actually that one loras quote from asoiaf "when the sun has set no candle can replace it"

and you know what

that's what dagda is for custas imo. i don't see thid kid recovering from anything he's gone through anytime soon. the appropriate reaction would be to become suicidal, even. not even gonna lie. i cried my eyes out for these two.

BUT ANYWAYS. ENJOY YOUR MOUTHFUL OF GLASS FRESHLY SERVED BY ME, FELLOW WHA FANS.

Tartah fucking killed me omfg 🥲

I mean, I love Tartah in the manga but he shines more in later arcs, this was the set up and it was phenomenal in the manga too but damn… seeing the contrast between the vibrant colors of the show and how HE sees the world really drives it home that he is disabled.

It’s not just an inconvenience, that’s a fucking disability and a huge one for a witch.

I mean I knew it, I understood it but the way they used the presence or lack of colors really made it hit like a fucking steel chair to the teeth.

Bugfilms you have my heart and soul, I will give you my money, my blood and tears, my first born anything you want just keep doing your thing 💜

My asexual awakening was when I was like 12 or something, just got an internet access, started watching a lot of vevo’s music videos and stumbled upon Katy Perry’s Wide Awake MV where she almost kissed a guy and punched him instead

[sunscreencity]

olruggio being assigned as qifreys watchful eye is like when best friends would be given each others papers to grade in elementary school

[gh0st-offline]

Fic idea:

Custas sobbing, begging Tartah to tell him he hates him so the silverwood doesn't grow and Tartah being unable to do it because of his truth seal.

[shatterdome-underscore]

Tetia's backstory is that she was super loved and cherished always and was never abandoned or taken advantage of or whatever and one day her original master had to retire due to early onset arthritis and they called up Qifrey like "hey would you mind taking in my absolute ray of sunshine my hands don't work anymore" and he was like "absolutely" and nothing bad or tragic ever happened or will happen to her don't worry about it Don't WORRY

For this Witch Hat Monday I drew Coco in a Starry Night Dress! It's a continuation of the Starry Night Hat I painted a while back :)

Time lapse below, the full hours long art videos, PSD file and HD image will be DMed on Patreon the 5th of each month :)

We've all seen the posts about qifrey jumpscaring Olly by asking if he wants kids, but I’ve been thinking… what if he didn’t tell him about any of them, and that’s part of why he’s so mad about Coco

Pt 2 with Olly and freshly-traumatized baby Agott coming at some point

[starlesswdz]

they're still on my mind always
