I love her golden hair, actually, each of these artworks appeared because I wanted to draw them.
And also, I was silly and drew the wood brown, let's just pretend it's the light from a campfire
Thinking about those ladies on the beach :’)
Amber Gris and Kodira are so wonderful
hate when people think the only archetype possible for a male sidekick to a female protagonist is a soft boi and/or himbo. like the implication there is that the only reason a man would ever defer to a woman’s authority is if he was a bumbling idiot. love male supporting characters who are smart and strong and confident and can step up when necessary but still kind and humble enough to let someone else take the lead most of the time
i think heroes and villains should meet in a hotel at night because it's after hours and theyre only a hero or villain from 9 to 5 so they say and one of them wakes up in the night to look over the other one asleep beside them not caring about the vulnerability of the state and the whole thing is cast under somber blue light because its nighttime. and the awake one saunters melancholically to the balcony to look out at the city lights. and theyre both girls

20. what i look for in a book
for getting into a book, i want “disappearing” prose that doesn’t distract me from the scene with unnatural rhythm or silly word choice, dialogue that’s either naturalist or theatrical but NOT forced to set up stupid lil quips, place descriptions that take me away, a feeling of promise that smth will happen.
for remembering & loving it after i’m done reading—a striking turn & sudden illumination towards the end of the book about what it all meant (even if the answer is “nothing” or “we don’t get to know”), a main character who got to be selfish, magnetic, and cunning, a world that felt wider & deeper than what was seen in this story, an ending that satisfied. doesn’t have to be uplifting or unpredictable as long as i hear the door click shut behind me on my way out yk.
