I've been playing through Pokémon Scarlet/Violet and the student art hanging in the art classroom at the school is so charming and fun, so I decided to recreate it with crayons on my twitch stream. Here are the screen grabs for art reference and the product from today, lol and twitch.tv/zeldamacgregor if you like this kinda stuff lol.

The references. Look at the cute little drawings!!!

And here are the drawings lol. We had so much fun with these! I'm looking forward to doing more.

Day 31 - Dragon

Captain James Hook walked the length of his ship, not for the first time and certainly not for the last.  His bright eyes scanned the boards and sails then caressed the lapping sea and horizon with a gaze one shade less suspicious than it had been for centuries.  He was too used to scanning that sky for worse than dragons, for an unknowable force against nature.  It was good to take in the clouds and sunbeams with less suspicion, if only for a moment.  

There was comfort in knowing what had been a secret before; there was peace in truth. 

This takes place in the same universe as Star Mile, but can be read as a stand alone.

Day 30 - Rival

If the understanding of his rival’s origin was a burden, the captain wore it without effort, Wendy thought.  His stride remained easy; his shoulders didn’t drag with the wake of The Jolly Roger.  If anything, he seemed almost lighter.

“I cannot recall ever seeing you so…” Wendy paused to hook her pinky around hair blowing into her face.  She tucked the errant strands behind her ear and smiled up at him, “Dare I suggest you are very nearly happy?”

“I am not immune to the charms of new knowledge, my beauty.  We can now navigate with wisdom rather than conjecture.”

omg it’s FAN FICTION FRIDAY

Reblog and promote a fic of yours <3

Hook & the Butterfly is something I wrote recently on a whim to further study the character of Hook in my stories, but I've grown quite fond of it.

"It was not until a different sort of sound and sight, one as vibrant and curious as himself (if he could be so bold, and he could) swanned into view.  With his bespectacled butterfly eyes, he beheld a human, tall and lean with a handsome face caressed rather than carved from whatever was the material of his substance.  This countenance was framed by long and bouncing curls darker than the latest hours in the sky but lit somehow by two suspiciously bright eyes of a blue as forget me not as the flower and memorable as the bite of the first chill in a crisply cold winter.  The butterfly knew a pirate when he saw one, but this was someone else, someone very different from the pirates the butterfly had known.  This was not a Cully or a Jingles or even a Knave of Hearts or some other sort of silly with a name made to terrify the mind rather than the senses.  This one had a princely storybook face that could, if he had bothered to try it, hide its malevolence and the gleaming hook peeking out from his right sleeve where a hand should have been."

Day 29 - Rebirth

Days had passed since their trek into the caves, but Wendy still felt a chill in her spine; goose pimples raised the fine golden hairs on her arms and she shivered when the breeze from that side of the bay tickled her flesh.

“What does it mean, Captain?” she asked as they watched the Black Castle shrink on the horizon.  “What will we do?” Hook shrugged and leaned his arms against the gunwale.  “As illuminating as this mystery was, it shan’t be a rebirth of my purpose.”  Midnight curls danced as he finally met her gaze.  “Ever onward,” he said.

Day 28 - Act

“Why share this now, after all this time?” Hook asked, confusion and annoyance creasing the outsides of his eyes.  “And why me?”

“I have been voiceless, Captain; in many ways I still am.  I cannot leave this place.  Its magic is too much part of me and I of it.”

Hook nodded.  “And, no doubt, your kin would find this act seditious.”

The fairy nodded back with a dim, melancholy twinkle of its tiny head, and, in this gesture, Wendy thought she recognized the first true understanding between her captain and the fae.  

The first of many?  She did wonder.

You get transported into the universe of the last media you consumed. How are you doing?

This is better than my real life

I'm doing well

I'm doing fine

I'm not having a good time

I'm absolutely cooked

There is nothing different about this universe and my own

Day 27 - Fantasy

Wendy glanced at Hook, but he had not yet broken his sharp gaze toward the fairy.  Her thoughts raced and she tried to focus just long enough to reckon with the knowledge that the pleasant fantasy of how Peter had come to be was no more than fae propaganda.  Moreover, the reality had led to violence and imprisonment at a level that she scarcely understood.  She shivered and pulled wet hair from her face with a pinky finger.  “How… long have you been here?” she asked.

“Since before the captain, but not long before.  Buried deep within the crystal walls.”
