I’m so excited to be able to share this! <3

I commissioned @heyheroics for some cover art for “Brothers in Arms” zine and she has more than delivered my “group hug with Lance in the middle and rough them up please” prompt. Anyone who purchases a copy of this zine will get not only this beautiful artwork to cherish but you can know that a portion of the sales are also going to an artist too! Yeah for supporting other small time artists and writers!

The final image will be all in soft grayscale with their armor colors in muted tones. 

“Brothers in Arms” is a fanfiction zine chock full of platonic Hance, Klance, and Shance works by yours truly. Preorders will be opening in mid-September with zines scheduled to ship out early December. Be sure to follow @icymakesazine for all updates!

Brothers in Arms indeed, huh?

hello! yeah it was like a million years ago and i answer a lot of asks, so it’s probably pretty well hidden B^0

so i actually just use google sketch up and it’s completely free! the only real catch is that it’s weirdly hard to find the download link..? i didn’t think to save it so i could share in case someone wanted it too, but i remember i had to search for a good 20 minutes on their website before i came across it.

i think they’re hiding it behind paid versions of the program, bUT IT’S DEFINITELY THERE!

as for difficulty, i had prior exposure to the program in jr high because my school made us learn it for some reason? but overall it’s extremely user friendly, if not a bit basic.. the camera is a bit unwieldy, but if you’re just looking to build relatively simple structures, it’s a gosh dang GODSEND friend

Today is apparently Fanfiction Author Appreciation Day and I absolutely did not want to let this pass by without offering some well-deserved appreciation and shoutouts to some lovely authors I admire and many of whom I consider friends ♥

In no particular (cough, it’s alphabetical) order:

@againstmygreeleaf - Thank you for the laughs. Your Hunk!werewolf story has me grinning with every update; I know I’m behind a couple chapters now but I will catch up soon! Such precious, pure, beautiful literal fluff my heart overflows. AO3

@banditywrites  - Thank you for the feelings. Your works always drag my heart through the mud but you always manage to piece it back together again by the end. Your fics make me feel -- uncomfortable sometimes, I’ll be honest, but I love it and relish that opportunity to learn and feel things I myself never have. Your platonic family fics warm my heart. Also, thank you for being such a wonderful person and my fellow overnight owl to chat with on long nights! AO3

@glitteringconstellations​ - I know you’re on a bit of a break right now, but when you come back (and I hope you can come back too to close out Color with me!) I hope you see this. Your world-building skills rock my world and Beacon is one of my favorite fics in the VLD fandom because of all of the heart and soul in it. Although, biased here, I’m also partial to a certain cooking disaster fic and it showcases your ability to write such humor and angst all in one ♥ AO3

@heyheroics​  - Not only are you an amazing friend you’re an amazing author. Thank you for all of your stories and all the delicious platonic klance to feed my soul. ♥ Your style is so beautiful, flows like poetry and is an absolute joy to read... even when it’s disturbing and bloody and full of whump but somehow that just makes it even better. Thank you for your always constant support and dealing with my drama and for being the lovely person you are ♥  AO3

@wingedflower - Thank you for giving me all the Langst my heart desires. Your fics never fail to brighten my day (even if they’re destroying Lance’s ;p) and I love all of the family feels... and you definitely were the one that got me really really hooked on platonic shance so thank you for that ;p Your fic Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy will forever be in my top five fics of any fandom, it’s that beautiful and perfect. Thank you too for being such a great friend! AO3

Eeee, I’m so excited to share this one!  ♥ I’m still working on interior design and formatting but the cover for Brothers In Arms -- which is my platonic Hance, Shance and Klance fanfiction zine -- is finished.

I commissioned the beautiful cover artwork from @heyheroics and I am just so in love with it. Love this group of boys and their relationships with one another and heyheroics truly delivered on such a wonderful, warm piece with composition skills I can only dream of. 

Preorders will be opening (hopefully) sometime next week so stay tuned! Follow @icymakesazine for all updates! ♥

It is indeed fanart from Color! My header image was drawn by the amazing @heyheroics and if you can convince her to post some of her gorgeous works actually on Tumblr, please try. ;p

Name three things that are physically close to you:

blanket, ice pack, medicine

What’s the weather like right now?

it’s hot out, but it’s also almost midnight, so it really has no business being this hot.

Do you have any talents?

i’m good with languages! i’m fluent in korean and passable in spanish and spoken japanese :D

Would you ever go bungee jumping?

i used to think yes, but the older i get the more of a chicken shit i become XD

Do you have any phobias?

i’m highly, highly lilapsophobic. any time the wind picks up my heart races and i hate it.

Do you bite your nails?

nope!

What is your favorite color?

any rich shade of green, like emerald or forest green.

What does your last text message say?

“I had solid food for the first time today. Beefaronis. Swallowed them whole 😂😂” to my sister (i just had oral surgery don’t judge XD)

Do you have any tattoos and/or piercings?

no tattoos, and just the one ear piercing on each ear.

Have you had a near death experience?

the closest one that i’ve ever had was i hit a patch of black ice and spun off the road. i felt my car start to tip and threw my shoulder against the window so i wouldn’t roll. 8 months later my sister wrecked my car when the same thing happened, only she hit a bump and spun and she DID roll. they said if i’d have rolled when i spun out, i’d have died, because i’m a whole head taller than my sister.

Have you ever been hospitalized, and if so, what for?

i’ve had three surgeries in the last six years, all minor, but only one required hospitalization.

How tall are you? Do you wish you were taller, shorter…or are you just right?

5′4″. i wish i were tallerrrr i’m a short potato.

Do you drive? If so have you ever gotten in a wreck?

yes and yes. see above!

Name something you want to do before you die:

learn more languages!

Will you leave the house without makeup?

i do most of the time, because i’m highly allergic to most cosmetics. there are a few i can wear on occasion, but any more than that i break out/get terrible styes and it suuuucks. 

Welp, traditional thumnails + digital from the fic “Needles are for Knitting” by @heyheroics !
