"Dubious Date Night"
So prom-knight was taking sketch requests on instagram and twitter (I think she still is!!) and I… uh… may have requested me on a date with Tahno.
I think I may have crossed a line. I’m not sure I care.

I love this book map from wearedorothy.com.
A street map made up from the titles of over 600 books from the history of English Literature (and a few favourites from further afield). The Map includes classics such as Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Bleak House, Vanity Fair and Wuthering Heights as well as 20th and 21st Century works such as The Waste Land, To the Lighthouse, Animal Farm, Slaughterhouse 5, The Catcher in the Rye, The Wasp Factory, Norwegian Wood and The Road.
The Map, which is loosely based on a turn of the century London street map also includes fictional areas dedicated to the works of Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf, Tolkien, Harry Potter and a children’s literature district featuring such classics as The Railway Children, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Where the Wild Things Are. There’s an A-Z key at the base of the Map listing all the books featured along with the author’s name and the date first published.
I MUST HAVE IT.
Visual Development work for Frozen - Part 2
I thought I’d just combine part 2 and 3 and just do one final post.
Above is a drawing from the same versions as last post’s iterations. At one point the Snow Queen had a full fur coat made out of live white ermines!
Kristoff was also a different character back…
Love seeing this kind of work.

“I don’t serve the Starks. I serve Lady Catelyn”
I just want to say again how important this scene is to me. I know the show has gone off the rails in some places, and that it has some serious problems when it comes to women and minorities, but this scene is a big deal. Brienne is a big deal. Cat is a big deal. These are women transforming a trope by fully occupying it. These are female characters staking out power and forming connection in ways we don’t often get to see. This isn’t just a gesture—it’s a transaction that is essential to the plot and that has major repercussions. When people dismiss sf&f as escapist or reductive, I like to point to this scene.

“The problem with wanting,” he whispered, his mouth trailing along my jaw until it hovered over my lips, “is that it makes us weak.”
