Do you have other socials? Or do you post art somewhere else? Not only HP, but other fandoms or personal work? (I just love how you draw, but specially how you paint and use light/shadows)

Hi! Thank you so much!

As for my art, everything that I am willing to show under this username will be here, on this blog, for now ❤️

hi……do you think you might um…..ever do commissions someday? I really like your art….👉👈

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words! Unfortunately, the commissions thing is quite unlikely in the nearest future, sorry :[

Art by @waywardprintmaker for the New Year, New Sebinis prompt exchange, inspired by @littlejony's prompt: "New Year's wish "to buy a small cozy house in the village for two".

Printmaker would also like to say: "Thank you so much to @littlejony for the lovely prompt and thank you to @irrationaltide, @merrietj, @old-man-enjoyer and @holdmymallowsweet for letting me participate! I hope you enjoy my contribution as much as I enjoyed making it!"

I just need you to know that your art is SO tragically beautiful that some of them genuinely make my heart ache.

The chemistry and love between Omi and Seb is like, truly visible in your art and it hurts so bad cuz it tears me away from my reader insert fics 😭 like deadass im like. hmm. yeah clearly he is taken and in love and i have no chance with him, he'd leave me for Seb before we even started.

Anyway, your art is genuinely so breathtaking. I rarely find art that genuinely makes me feel, but yours is so beautiful, you capture them so well. thank you for sharing!!!

Thank you so much, this is beyond kind! This is genuinely so amazing to hear, it truly, truly means a lot!

Ominis really is down bad. Poor boy, he deserves someone better.

This meme never gets old. Idk who the artist is!

Been experimenting with software to record timelapses in Photoshop. It still eats at my PC's resources, but we're getting there.

I don't have children, but I imagine the feeling is similar to seeing someone put your OC into their fic.

Canon Queer of the Day:

Sebastian Sallow

Sebastian Sallow is a main character from Hogwarts Legacy! He is heavily implied to be bisexual and is flirty with the player character, no matter which gender you select.

Sometimes you feel like scraping the rest of the piece just for one detail ugh, but sunk cost kicks in

Cannot end pride month without tense sebinis

(Effectionate) write the Sebastian Suffering fic yourself, coward. Make it angsty, max out the feels. You want 5k words of PAIN. Do it now while its fresh in your feels.

Oh my god, so Solomon is dead, Anne left, Ominis is keeping distance. Alcohol has become his refuge. It gets particularly bad by the end of summer. He is dizzy, he feels like he is drowning, until he feels careful hands pry away the bottle, they guide him to the bed, rub circles into his back thru the night as he's on the comedown.

Of course Ominis comes to save him.

Unfortunately, I cannot write this, but I did do a like drawing for this nearly two years ago! It was my second even fanart for Hogleg and it was Sebastian suffering.

Art inspired by the amazing fic of the same name by @gargoylegrave, who graced the Sebinis side of the fandom with her talents again! Go read it, hurry, especially if you like Western AUs!

Don’t Ship It

Pretty much everything I said about Sebastian x fMC also applies to mMC, except with the added conflict of Sebastian dating a boy, and it's not Ominis. Devastating!

Why don’t you ship it? I'll be real with you, I ship my mMC with Poppy. The heteronormativity immediately possesses my body when I see them together. That makes me a bit blind to most other mMC ships. What would have made you like it? Sebinis not existing, I think. I can't see it not turning into a nasty love triangle between mMC and Ominis and honestly? Three guys is way too many. Like that's too many guys. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it? I think the love triangle thing could honestly be fun, if you're into that. I know it's not pure Sebastian x mMC anymore, but still.

Ship It Honestly, when I was first going thru that quest, I was almost convinced her diary would contain some cringey evidence that she actually likes Garreth. What made you ship it? She writes about him in her diary, about how annoying he is and how he ruins her potions.. and how she doesn't understand what her friends see in him. This is her writing in her diary about Garreth:

What are your favorite things about the ship? Listen, it would be such a perfect Hey, Arnold! situation! Cressida talks shit about Garreth, but actually likes him and she hates that she likes him so she calls him names and he's still a golden retriever, it's great!

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

It's not meant to be, they're both too ambitions and would get in the way of each other.

Hello 😁 I was the anon that sent the headcanon about Ava and Neo. Thank you for answering my ask! I really love these characters and dynamics you made. So, I thought I'd pitch in cause I read fics about them 😭 (I love them so much it hurts cause they are crazy).

If I could offer more Gaunt headcanons 🌝

- This one maybe you won't agree with... but I have a feeling that Ominis was conceived using forbidden magic. We don't know for sure how many children Avaric has but I feel like he needed one more boy to be the back up heir, and maybe his wife can't produce more children. So maybe they used some type of magic to help her conceive but of course, these kinds of magic asks for something in return. And in this case, it was Ominis' eyesight. (Of course, there's just the possibility of his blindness being a result of inbreeding but knowing the Gaunts, they do this kind of shit, too).

- Parseltongue is an emotional trigger for him. He hates speaking it. Not just because of its association with evil—but because of what it does to his voice. Parseltongue changes the texture of how he speaks. He sounds like his father. Like his brother. It makes him feel like something inside him is uncoiling, stretching, shedding skin. Sometimes he dreams in Parseltongue and wakes up weeping. So that moment in the Scriptorium is something he keeps ruminating over and over. That's why he has a dialogue about the place, "... never again."

Hi! Thank you so much for the ask, you've no idea how giddy [we all] get when we hear someone likes them! All the fics are absolutely amazing, I can't recommend the authors enough! I have heard variations of this headcanon before. Like how Ominis' blindness was caused on purpose to make the perfect wizard to control the basilisk. The Gaunts doing it to get a boy specifically, though? Pretty haunting. And in-character for Avaric. Makes Ominis feel like an unwanted, cursed afterthought since his very existence is a result of a transactional ritual. Also adds a whole new layer to how he sees himself and his place within the family. Maybe he even knows, or suspects, and that's why he carries so much self-loathing. He came into this world already paying for someone else's ambition. I do headcanon it mostly being caused by inbreeding, but the idea that there was an active choice made to trade something away for power and legacy? Peak Gaunts, I'd say. And 100% YES to your second headcanon! I love that! I remember talking about Ominis having nightmares during their first year in Hogwarts and that being the moment Sebastian first hears him speak snake - in his dreams, subconsciously, without control. I love how you vividly you described it and how whenever Ominis *does* do it, he thinks he sounds like his father. Uuugh, that's so good! So good! And it lingers on his tongue like viscous poison and he wants to scrub it off, but he can't, it's part of him. Aaaah, my boy, my darling boy!
