Steris, My Queen

On second thought, I like yours better.

Pidge: Well, looks like the world is in trouble again.

Lance: Ah, yet again. What a tragedy that our evening is booked. *shoots Pidge a meaningful glare*.

Pidge: *grabs her super suit* Lance... 

Lance: I know, I know, world first. *pulls on his super suit* But I’m still going to complain anyway. I mean, it took me two months to get you to agree to something romantic! Two months! I feel like the supervillains could wait a couple more hours to unleash hell on us, right?

Pidge: If supervillains planned their evil schemes around your convenience, they’d never get anything done. That’s why they don’t do it. I’m sure they’ve considered it, of course, it just didn’t fit in with their schedule.

(they run off into the distance, still bickering and bantering, their voices fading as they get further away)

Lance: Well, duh, but I think one friendly exception isn’t much to ask.

Pidge: From a supervillain?

Lance: Fair, but I’m still bitter. Two months of begging!

Pidge: Begging and blackmailing. Don’t forget blackmailing.

Lance: Of course! What’s love without a little blackmail?

I saw this, and . . .

I feel like we can all agree that Pidge would be the one trying to find her paladin armour for something, and Lance would be the one standing in the background whining "but you promised you'd have dinner with me! I had candles and music planned and everything! How could you do this to me?"

loved the colors of the flowers from conference so I just had to doodle them

"The fire in his veins cooled under her rain, and stillness settled over him. Something soft fell into his lap. He held it up and breathed in its scent, sweet and flowery. Marinette.

"He buried his face in the fabric and held it close, imagining he was holding her instead. It hurt to be together. It hurt to be apart. But the hurt felt like a promise, and when she was in his arms he always felt that he was exactly where he was meant to be (the cosmic phenomenon, the whole that made sense). He couldn’t touch her, but she touched everything around him.

"(She was the rain, and she was everywhere.)

"The last chord rang though the room and then faded into silence. There was a rustling sound on the recording, and then he heard his own voice whisper into the microphone: 'I love you, Marinette.'

"The recording stopped. Adrien sat motionless, still hugging her hoodie."

-@carpisuns, "tell me something i don't know'

I don't know why this scene hit me so hard—the entire story is full of scenes that both make me want to sob and smile for the rest of my life, after all. But this one . . . I just had to draw it. It feels almost immoral to illustrate a scene from this story so imperfectly, but I can't do perfect art, so I tried to do emotional art instead. (No it's not raining in Adrien's room, I was just trying to illustrate the metaphor that Marinette is rain, I'm sorry this is so bad Mar, I love this story so much)

yes girl. cry. let it out

The proper move when you have a sucky week is to figure out what made it sucky, buckle down, and work hard so next week isn't as sucky. But I'm tired so instead I just drew Sep

Ace Suit

Me: You know what would look great? Pidge in a suit and tie. I should draw that.

Me: I really should draw something that shows Pidge as the ace queen I've always headcanoned her as.

Me: Wait a second . . . How about I Voltron these two ideas together? I'm such a genius.

(I was going to add fancy shading but I'm lazy. Just gonna post it, pretend addìng a purple tie to a monochrome suit is enough to reference the asexual flag, and crawl into bed.)

been listening to hadestown and I'm just the tiniest bit in love with Orpheus

I was rereading Septimus Heap, and . . . man, I forgot how much I love this series.

(And also how much I love Septimus.)

Cliffhangers are great, but I hope we get some post-reveal discussions in the next (chronological) episode. If we don't, well, I guess I'll just have to write some myself!

Bonus Panel:

Marinette: Well, you know, considering I just had a breakdown about how dating isn't an option because I'm a superhero--

Alya: Got it. Ladynoir.

Marinette: NO

The bakery enemies AU by @buggachat may be the best thing to come out of this fandom. Which is weird, considering it was created by the same person who created the worst thing to come out of this fandom (Adrichat), but I digress. I can't wait for the next page!
