fanart of IKON by @dillpicklepanic

I haven't done this style before, i just went all out with my new brushes (you can probably tell) but it was a TON of fun to make!

Ron? Ron Weasley?… Hot? I know I know but this is how I imagine him in a superb fic by luminae called ‘fuck harry, actually’. One of those gems I read years ago and adore.

(Reference picture here) (edit: and timelapse here)

Read it if u ain’t scared of seeing Ron in a new light. DO IT.

Art for Light in Reverse by troubled_tea @pretty-deku

~ When Harry rescues Voldemort from abuse after the war and brings him to his lil cottage ~

I struggled through major art block for this one 😭

Timelapse below

i've had this in my drafts for a few months i think. I wanted to do it in colour but i realised i suck at values so i did it in b&w first. I don't have time to work on it more so it's as is.

This is from a scene in It Runs in the Blood by @metalomagnetic. Voldemort just reaches over and steals a cigarette from Sirius and lights it with fucking fiendfyre. Oh so casually.

I’m so sorry for the long wait. And thank you for checking in, it makes my heart swell so much - I’ve been having a shitty last few months and a bad break up to boot. 2025 has been rough (for many i assume).

I recently said on the Tumbs in response to an ask that I would be able to update in April but then I became unexpectedly busy and stressed out at work, and the words just wouldn’t come. Or when they did, they sounded dry and boring (just like work!)

I definitely will be updating it, and it’s not abandoned! I fear the more time passes, the more pressure it creates (in my head) to write better to make up for it. I’ll have to overcome that. I should also say, I do have the next chapter already written, i’ve just given myself the monumental task of re-writing parts of the whole damn thing so it all makes sense.

ooh thanks for the ask! ❤️

"Bubble bath" is my attempt at crack Tomione 😂 Tom is trying to find the Chamber of Secrets and he's at the stage where he's found out about a network of pipes that are not on the school blueprints. So he enlists Hermione into checking out the Prefects' bathroom, thinking maybe there's a secret combination of taps 😂

"or draft" is a Tom POV fic starting from his orphanage days. I thought it'd be interesting to write him as a true, clinical 'sociopath'. Here's a snippet! (I haven't decided whether this'll be Tomione or Tomarry tbh)

Breakfast is served at seven o'clock sharp. The children sit in long rows before Mrs Cole, bleary-eyed and silent. Before they can pick up their spoons, they must first bow their heads and listen to her thank the Lord for this slop (their daily bread).  Instead of closing his eyes, Tom stares at the bowl in front of him. It's always porridge, thick and bland, and right now it's beginning to cool. "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name …" Mrs Cole affects a different voice when she says the Lord's Prayer. It's as though she imagines herself standing on a pulpit before a congregation – men, women and children, sitting stiff and silent in their Sunday best. In reality, she's standing in front of a group of hungry orphans who despise her, in a narrow room filled with worn wooden tables and chairs instead of pews. [...] "...Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who trespass against us …" His eyes flick up to Mrs Cole for a second before he glances down again. Mrs Cole does not lie when she asks for forgiveness, for guidance, for blessings or what have you. He would know if she does. But is it appropriate to ask for forgiveness with no intention of changing your ways?  Does she ask for forgiveness each time she uncaps the gin bottle? A little whispered prayer before she necks it down, like a gulping fish – forgive me Lord, for I am about to sin.  No, Tom thinks that's quite unlikely; when you do something you know you shouldn't, often enough, it becomes a part of you. "... For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen." If Mrs Cole truly has a conscience, he thinks to himself as he picks up his spoon, then she must be a tortured soul.
