HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍🌈

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 👑

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, ILYA ROZANOV! 🏒

I've been adding characters to this piece since February as I worked my way through the Game Changers series! I love how Ilya spent the books clocking every queer hockey player he came across and collecting them like Pokémon! 🌈

I dressed each character in the colors of the team they were playing for during their respective books! Plus Montreal!Shane+Boston!Ilya and Ottawa!Shane+Ottawa!Ilya versions!

Yesterday was my birthday today, so I finished this as a little gift to myself! I was going to wait until Ilya's birthday to post it, but honestly? Fuck it. Let's take a moment to appreciate Queer Fairy Godmother Ilya Rozanov!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Pride Month!

Just sharing the Alice in Wonderland art I made for my Meet Me in Dreamland bind, because I think the details deserve a closer look! 🐰

I had so much fun drawing Alice!Draco and Rabbit!Hermione! Can you spot all the references I included on the cover? 🩵♥️

“Did you fancy yourself to be Alice, the first time you went to Erised?” he asked. “Off to your own version of Wonderland?”

“A bit, I suppose. Although that better describes you, since I knew where I was going and you didn’t.”

“Ah, you were the rabbit,” he said. “Unintentionally luring me away from reality. I was poor, confused Alice, mistaken for someone who was meant to be there.”

“Yes, poor Alice,” Hermione smirked. “You must have thought you were going mad when you showed up to the tea party and I was on the table, offered in lieu of tea.”

“If that’s what going mad is like, I’m not sure I want to be sane,” he said with a one-shouldered shrug.

Hermione grinned.

After almost a year and a half of (pretending to be) working on this bind, it finally came to life! When I read MMID, Alice!Draco and Rabbit!Hermione weren’t just options, they had to get out of my system! 🐰

As you can see, this is my Alice in Wonderland–themed Meet Me in Dreamland! Inspired by fairytale books, with unicorn charms and the lockets that Draco and Hermione share in the story, I drew some of my favorite elements from this wonderful fic for the cover. I’m really proud of how this bind turned out! This might be one of my favorite projects ever!

Art and typeset by @jessonel

Last year, I was wandering through AO3, looking for oneshots for my TCC project when I accidentally stumbled over a rock. I picked it up and found this Brazilian girl I had never heard of sleeping underneath it. So I grabbed her hand and brought her into our little cult, and who would’ve told me then that this girl would become my friend??

Well, this bind is a love letter to you, Moons, and a thank you for your beautiful words and for your friendship. Reading Flat was an experience, and I got to share it with you, my dear. I hope you enjoyed this nice surprise, even though the project for this (last slide, and I got the title wrong!) was shown to you long before I decided to turn it into a surprise gift for you. ✨

Anyway, this exchange was really special to me, and I’m thankful for getting to know each one of my Kudos friends. The Made With Love exchange is our way of celebrating our cult’s birthday, and each one of us! I love you all, my friends! 🪄♥️

Art and typeset by @jessonel 💛

Since I’m in my hockey romance era, I had so much fun working on this project! In this fic, the Potter family owns a rink, and James is a hockey player while Regulus is a figure skater. So I made the rink the heart of my project, and I really like how it turned out!

These are the endpages I drew for the Tarot Collab I did with Sydney! 💜💙♥️

The project grew into something much bigger than just Soft as It Began (the initial plan was a forced proximity fic, but, well… don’t suffocate the artists!). We decided to do a plant-themed rubber_soul02 collection!

The first piece in the carousel is from Things We Say in the Dark, where Draco is a Potions Master. I designed his outfit loosely based on a mix of Snape and Dumbledore. I really wanted to give him a hat, but he already had glasses, and I didn’t want him to clash too much with the other Dracos, who wear simpler outfits. The glasses are mentioned in the fic, and I think the color purple was perfect for this Draco. Hermione in Things We Say in the Dark is Hogwarts Headmistress. I designed her outfit based on Minerva’s, but I wanted to make it feel younger and a bit more modern (without being inappropriate, of course). Unlike Draco, she got a hat, and a Hogwarts pin too. The little box she holds is the one Draco gives her in the story, with an olive branch inside, the plant chosen as the theme for this fic in the collection. 💙

The second one is for Soft as It Began. They're both journalists, so I gave Draco the newspaper he works for, along with his quill and badge to represent his job. Hermione has the same objects in this one, since they’re colleagues. And, of course, I couldn’t forget his beloved toast with strawberry jam, which is the plant that inspired this fic theme in the collection. Hermione is also holding a map and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, both essential to the story, but I won’t go into that because I don’t want to spoil anything. ♥️

Last but not least, we have Rosemary for Remembrance. In this story, Draco has been in Azkaban, so he has the characteristic Azkaban tattoo on his neck. His relationship with the Mark is a big part of the story too, so I wanted to make it visible. In one hand, he holds a coffee cup that he and Hermione buy for each other several times throughout the story (she has one too), and in the other, he holds a hammer, with a tape measure around his neck, since they don't use magic to fix the shop. That’s why they're both all dirty, too! Hermione is the new owner of Flourish & Blotts, so she has the shop key in her hand, with a tag attached. I wanted to give her a Muggle outfit for this one, so she’s wearing a simple top. The last detail is the rosemary tattoo, which inspired the bind theme for this fic. 💜

For the colors, you’ll notice they follow a pattern. Each fic has a main color, and for the clothes and background I used the colors from the other fics. I think this palette works perfectly, and Sydney and I came up with it together! Do you guys like it?

As for the plants, as you can see, Sydney and I chose ones that are meaningful to each story. It felt perfectly fitting to include them like this, and they all come together so effortlessly. Even the one-shot January in June is included in one of the binds, and its chapter header features its own plant (a dittany branch). We definitely drifted away from the original tarot theme, but we’re so happy with the results, and it was such a great team effort! Thank you, Sydney!

Your typeset are all so interesting, creative and so well done!!!! What software do you use/how did you learn?

I'm dabbling in it rn but it's all very basic still and im still trying to comprehend how scribus works........

Thank you so.luch for your time and again, you're so skilled!!!

first of all thank you so much!!!! you're so sweet!

I don't even know how to respond to this because I don't think I have an answer lmaooo I use microsoft fucking word to typeset which is like the worst program ever you can use for typesetting, because it wasn't really created for it at all... but I struggle with changes so I'd rather suffer through word every single time than take a weekend to learn a new software :)

if you're starting now, I recommend a better software, something that was created for this specific function and not this piece of shit I use (still it's the only one I know how to operate so yeyyyy word ily)

but if you are a masochistic like myself and want to use word, my dms are always open!! I'll try and help with whatever I can 💚

For those who follow me and know me, I’m very proudly Latina and Brazilian! It was about time I drew my favorite characters wearing outfits inspired by my culture!

This blue football jersey is my favorite Brazilian jersey ever. I loved adding every single detail to this piece, and if you’re Brazilian, you’ll spot a few references here and there! If you’re not, though, I’m so sorry!! I added a Gryffindor and a Slytherin version for you too, inspired by my favorite jersey! ♥️💚

And here we come again, presenting to the world another one of the many children that @thabindery and I made together! 🙂‍↕️

This one is a more than special gift for our dearest friend @mayanahi08, who is also the author of this incredibly funny story! We based the entire design on Sarah Andersen’s Fangs, and we’re so proud of the result! I had the time of my life drawing this vampire Hermione and her little cockroach Draco! 🪳

Can we have fluffy dramione falling in love over coffee and books? ☕🩷

Loosely inspired by Remain Nameless by @heyjude19-writing, because I don’t think I can ever have dramione and coffee shops without thinking of this fic!

Also, Hermione is reading one of my favorite books ever, Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis! I can’t recommend it enough!

This is my contribution to the Secret Santa hosted by our dearest Panda Patronus, gifted to @dramionestills 🩷

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

So… I’m obsessed, yeah. I had to draw my babies. I just had to. They're LOVERS! 🖤💙

This is my last drawing of the year, and I want to thank everyone who’s been following and commenting on my work, every single comment means so much to me and truly makes my heart happy!

In this little corner of the internet, I’ve found amazing people, and I hope 2026 brings us all many more happy moments!

Happy New Year, my dear friends! I offer you some Hollanov to close out the year, and I hope you enjoy it. Also, this might be my favorite piece I made this year!

Love,

This is our first collab, and we had so much fun with it!!!

AVAILABLE ON AO3!

We had a prompt: Veela.

I could’ve done anything I wanted with it, but of course I chose violence! I’m not even going to apologize this time, huh! I love this one! 🪶🧡

To love is to put your favorite character through hell and back and suffer with them! As I always say, I only torture the characters I love! 🙂‍↕️

Here's the art I did for this amazing collab with @thetacowrites and pandapatronus!

I had so much fun working with them!

The fic and the podfic are available on AO3!

This is the art I made for WillowingScribe's Lovefool, for the collab that @thabindery and I did last month, which resulted in a beautiful, sweet bind of this lovely fic! 🩷🧦

The cover is loosely based on that scene where Hermione and Draco are talking over wine on the floor of his flat. She has shorter hair and a Golden Trio pair of socks, which ended up taking up much more space than planned in our little project! (It’s not my fault it’s adorable, okay??)

I still can’t believe Procreate fucked me up and I lost all my Lovefool files! Even so, here it is, the best I could do with the PNG files I had!

The fic is available on AO3, for free! Podfic by Time Wizard Podfics, go check it out! ♥️
