EVYL

some people have asked if i sell prints so i updated my inprnt shop! if there’s a piece you really like that’s missing just let me know and i’ll add it. think of this as my ‘i’m not doing commissions yet’ peace offering

¡also! that fifteen minutes spent trawling your dash enlightened me that the recent HockeyGa(y)te x Andreil art I've adored is by the same person responsible for those STUNNING portraits of eyebrow-piercing-HauntedHazelOrbs-NonWoobified-stockyjock Andrew and College-hoodie-AUBURN≠GINGER-prettyboyjock-bandana Neil ???? hi so I love you. your brain and hands and iPad skills are disgustingly sexy. my first aftg read was five? years ago so I've seen a gorgeous wealth of truly stunning fanart but fick if your Andrew doesn't perfectly embody the way his persona has always felt in my head. i find it ill-fitting when he's illustrated as slender and Pretty and Fine-Boned in that Elvish Anglican Delicate way. like YES he has haunting empty cold but objectively beautiful hazel eyes YES he is athletic but STOCKY and DENSE, I ADORE the hard-jaw square profile OBVIOUS TENSION ugh he's so hot and tragic and sharp and vicious it's so perfect. I could go on and on but moral of the story is you're so cool and I've been unknowingly loving your art for probably actual fucking years atp. <333333 layf

wow genuinely thank you so much🥹 reading this was actually insane in the best possible way. the amount of detail you noticed like SO many tiny things about how i draw and characterize them and it genuinely means a lot to me bc those are exactly the kinds of details i obsess over while drawing 😭

also the way you described andrew made me want to scream bc YES exactly. i’ve always imagined him as compact and dense and sharp in a way that feels dangerous even when he’s standing still so hearing that my version matched how he’s always somehow existed in your head is genuinely one of the nicest compliments i could get <333

and thank you for mentioning the femdreil stuff too omg… i’m absolutely adding that fic to my tbr bc “filthy batshit delicious prose” is possibly the strongest recommendation imaginable

also this ask genuinely made me realize maybe i should maybe start putting my username bigger on my art 😭 bc a lot of people apparently don’t realize some of those drawings are all by the same person (me lol) i do sign everything but the username is tiny under the signature bc i treated it more like a stylistic thing than branding HDKDJDK

and don’t worry, you honestly haven’t missed that much 😭 i’ve only really been drawing aftg stuff for a little over a year, it just kind of exploded very fast somehow

Are you going to ditch twitter? its ceo is as bad as jk if not worse

(On a diff note, May bad people be in pain and perish🛐) ((this is like knock on wood moment but opposite, we want this))((lol))

i get what you mean but if i tried to apply my moral code with complete purity id probably have to leave twitter, instagram, youtube and probably half the internet. there’s no perfectly ethical social media platform and there probably never will be under capitalism.

im on bluesky too (which is a equivalent for twt) but most of the people i know and interact with regularly are still on twitter. at the end of the day iman artist trying to share my work, reach people, make somehow a living from commissions and that happens through visibility online. basically im trying to exist online without making myself miserable.

PLEASE 😭 i love the idea of chubby baby andrew so much like let him have his little round cheeks and silly cat shirt for at least five minutes before life starts hitting him with a steel chair

Why, in fanart, is she always the plussized partner and never James? I've come to hate this trope with headcanon and fanart in general where the female or fem aligned character is made to be fat but the male or masc aligned partner gets to stay skinny/fit. And you can't say it's because James is in a sport because then what are you saying? He can't be chubby and be sporty? Isn't that a pretty hurtful stereotype for most people?

I'm sure it says something about how this fandom treats women, it feels like putting down a canonically beautiful female character, to the point where she's held as the most beautiful person in the story, to make her male counterpart look "hotter", especially when SHES the only plussized person in the artwork/fanfic.

And I'm not talking about post pregnancy Lily, weight gain is normal during pregnancy, i love when artists change a characters body after they've had a baby, that attention to detail is *muah* chefs kiss, amazing.

What I'm trying to say is stop being scared to make James a little big, you cowards, body positivity in art isn't limited to women!!!

are you actually asking me a question or just using my inbox to vent about a fandom issue you’re frustrated with? (genuine question)

i think there’s a bit of a misunderstanding here between what you’re trying to address and who you’re addressing it to. i’m not in this fandom anymore so this whole conversation feels kind of pointless for me (if we’re strictly talking about Lily and james). i’m not contributing to current trends and i’m not going to be drawing these characters again

the way i drew them before was just my interpretation and that’s not going to change. lily is plus-size in my work because that’s how i see her, and that’s it. i’ve always drawn what felt right to me in the moment (and rn it’s nothing related to hp/the marauders)

also saying that making her plus-size is “putting women down” is weird. that logic leans way too close to beautiful = thin which i don’t agree with. i draw her that way because i think she’s hot.

for james: yes, body diversity can (and should be) applied to men too. and ppl do draw him bigger. if you want to see more of that, support those artists, commission them or (even better) draw it yourself

but this isn’t something i’m going to take on, especially not through an anonymous ask when i’m not even in the fandom anymore

so yeah, this is really a conversation to have within your own fandom spaces. not my circus, not my monkeys

andreil in the heated rivalry ecosystem. again.

hi!! thank you so much, this is really sweet 🤍 and yes, you absolutely can! i’ve added it to inprnt!

i’m really sorry it took me so long to do it, i know people had asked before and it completely slipped my mind. thank you for your patience (and for supporting my work, it genuinely means a lot 🫶)
