LETS GOO !! MY SHOWS BACK ON

''You're my precious secret...''

Some more valentines art, and an introduction of Åse's childhood ''gal pal'' Nora. Nora being the daughter of a wealthier family couldn't openly be Åse's friend but they hung out a lot in secret, and held hands, and kissed sometimes. looking back as an adult Åse views it as her first relationship but at the time they were just special friends. Each others most precious secret.

Nora was adopted and is originally from Greece, this often makes her feel out of place in her family. Being outsiders in a sense is something she and Åse bond over. She wants to be an actor or an opera singer when she grows up, and writes little plays but she has only ever showed them to Åse. She has always fancied girls over boys, even if she wasn't aware. Though looking back there were some signs, like that one time she started crying uncontrollably after having a dream she was married to a man.

pennies and nickels :)

Second Lacka-oc finished!

Born: November 27th, 1903

Salem, Massachusetts

Maeve Midwinter, the proprietor (and solitary worker) of a cosy little bookstore in downtown St. Louis. The epitome of a pristine and upstanding citizen, she carries herself with utmost pride. Serving her community like the very legal citizen she is.

Well... Aside from her random bursts of uncontrollable rage. But she will assure you it was just the amount of caffeine she had in her coffee that morning, "It's nothing, I assure you!". But besides that, Maeve has devoted her life to her books, the few things in life she finds worth her time. That, and the fact that she chooses to associate with what her mother would call the scum of the earth, supplying speakeasies with a portion of illegally made wine. Though perhaps being a supplier certainly has its... Perks. For example, getting to know the charming Australian bootlegger working for the infamous Marigold gang. Who she seems to have taken quite the liking to.

Among the pleasantness of her small bookshop on the corner, this gentlewoman enjoys listening to the ambience of her many records on her gramaphone. Coupled with the oh so calming turn of a book page when nobody is around. Loving all fashion with ruffles and jewels to them, she collects anything even remotely shiny she can get her little mitts on. As well as being an avid lover of dark humour, and strawberry flavoured macarons.

Very happy to have Maeve's character card done, I find her to be the more ostentatious of the three given her... wealthier upbringing.

As always, have a dazzling rest of your day/night! 😘

HEY! We were here first! Go find a spot somewhere else!

Benjamin meets Mordecai’s family once; when Mordecai made an effort to visit home during his mother’s passing. He and his Aunt Rosie got along the absolute best! Esther is not really a fan of kids so the relationship is cordial but kind. He only knew his grandmother for two days before her death but she was very happy to meet him, even briefly.

TW DEATH , TW MURDER

Mordecai was no longer in the business by this point. But as a final act of his former self, he went out on the eve of his mother’s death and killed his former adversaries that were keeping him from visiting. His worry was, if Benjamin ever sought to visit NY on his own, they might mistake him for Mordecai. Plus, the men seeking revenge on him were now significantly older than when they first encountered each other.

Because of social stigmas at the time, Mordecai essentially lied and said his wife had passed during childbirth.

Here’s an old drawing of Mordecai and Benjamin arriving to New York for the visit!

There’s something I absolutely love about watercolor being incorporated into classic pencil/ink drawings

Like this concept sketch by Hayao Miyazaki:

There’s something about it that I absolutely love and want to incorporate into my style

Okay fun question for y'all—

What's that one thing you love about artstyles? Like what specific characteristic that grabs your attention everytime?

Anyone can share!!!

My Dungeons & Dragons group watching Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon because a party member called out and we have a tradition of watching D&D media on days someone calls out:

Me: I wonder what race I would realistically be in that universe…

Friend with absolutely no hesitation: Half-foot.

Me: Really? Why?

Him: Because despite you turning 20 soon you still look like a 13 y/o boy.
