reaping

[tlirsgender]

The thing about Jesper is that first off he just loves to have fun 💃 and then secondly he's like "there's something wrong with me like a constant itch under my skin from denying what I inherited from my mother of color and my White Dad doesn't understand it's strangling me. And I can't even take adderall" but you can't forget that despite everything he is still Fun And Bisexual

The funnest bisexuals always have something itching under their skin & lowkey intergenerational trauma

“the heat of the incinerator wrapped around inej like a living thing, a desert dragon in his den, hiding from the ice, waiting for her.

climb, inej.”

Also I'm obsessed with how Jesper and Wylan were like in the middle of a very tense part of the big heist about to Raise Hell setting off the alarm on purpose and trying so hard to break the chain not sure they can do it & Wylan chose this time to be like. Do you like men

[tlirsgender]

Found this post again and I still think that moment was really funny but I do understand it now. Jesper's standing there like grunting and sweating & Wylan's just like. Hey before we both die. Anybody want to admit they have a crush on me

[tlirsgender]

Found this post once more. And lest we forget Jesper had already been really blatantly flirting with him the entire time up to that point. And he's just standing there like ... yeah I'm bisexual

The Reluctant Victor, inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche - I just thought that this painting was SO perfect for Katniss and I had to draw it!

A lot of people have asked me to talk about Prim holding the crown, so here's a general deep dive into the characters I picked and their placements!

Starting with Prim. She was reaped, which led to Katniss volunteering to save her. It's, of course, very unlikely that Prim would have won the Games like Katniss did. Prim innocently playing with the crown that could have never been hers is also a reference to how excited she was when Katniss' wedding was happening, how she looked at it with children's eyes, impatient for her to try on the dresses. But she's also not as naive or helpless as Katniss believes, which is why her expression is grave and not cheerful.

Asterid is kissing Katniss' forehead in a very motherly gesture. Katniss is unmoved, though she still takes her hand. This is a reference to Katniss' resentment towards her mother when she stopped caring for them after Burdock's death, but also to Katniss' attempts at forgiving her in Catching Fire.

Effie is sitting at Katniss' feet, holding her hand. This represents the sincere -yet sometimes misguided- dedication that Effie has to Katniss. It also felt like an interesting placement, as Victors are often idolized by Capitol citizens.

Katniss, of course, is at the center. She's the reluctant victor, in her fire dress (with a lot of orange in it to reference Peeta, shhh). I hesitated to give her the wedding dress Snow forces her to wear instead, but felt that her fire dress was more recognizable and striking, and better represented how she is seen by the world: the girl on fire.

I can finally unveil this personal project! My comic version of chapter one of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, which I finally managed to get to shortly after SOTR came out. This was a unique project for me that I've been working on, on and off, for the past year or so. Lots and lots of fun, although I did mess up in some parts (typesetting :') ) and the limited color pallette was a unique challenge. Rest of the chapter under the cut! Hope you enjoy :)

when lenore dove comes to me now, she’s not angry or dying (…). she’s grown older with me, her face etched with fine lines, her hair touched with gray. like she’s been living her life beside me as the years passed, instead of lying in her grave. still so rare and radiant.
