1st Art:

2nd Art (full on X)

The fic turned out very interesting and I'm pleased with my arts.

A fic and fan art set for the SamWin JarPad Big Bang 2025.

I couldn't resist the hurt/comfort tale that @morganadw spun, diving into the struggles Sam faced after encountering the British Men of Letters at the outset of season 12.

You can find the fic here on AO3.

My full art post with more details AO3.

The banner was the first piece I made and in the end it turned into an emotional color journey for Sam. Going from cold, hurt and abused at the hands of Lady Bevell to healing in blues and greens and a happier time as Dean helps him get back to normal in bright greens and yellows.

All art is traditional, materials used:

- 200g/m2 paper

- alcohol markers (2 brands)

- pencils for lineart

- gel pens for highlighting

- aquarell color pencils

- brush and water

Art for the fic

"Who hasn't jerked off while they're looking at themselves in a mirror?" — @sam-is-my-safe-word, May 6, 2025

And who doesn't love a good quote without context? I know Kasey does! 😌

Fortunately, you only need to have a listen to last week's @idlingintheimpalapodcast episode (I know, I know, I'm behind again) to get some of that delicious source. Sandra and Kasey have always got stories on the go, those mad writing fiends, and you can hear all about their recent, current, and upcoming fics, bangs, bingos, and quests by tuning in below. 👂

Listen: ❤️ YouTube 💚 Spotify (+ more)

And here's the official Tumblr post if you want to peep the episode chapters to see what's being chatted about:

Maybe it's because I'm also a fic author, but I really do love listening to other authors talk about their writing. And I'm probably biased because I get to stick my grubby little fingers all up in Kasey's docs as they're being written, and Sandra sometimes lets me poke at her punctuation before she posts something, but when you've been along for the ride as well, it's especially...well, special. I pretty much just sit like this the whole time I'm listening to the podcast:

Speaking of special, did you miss the release of 🏳️‍🌈 PRIDING IN THE IMPALA 2025 🏳️‍🌈? Then check out the details 👇 and get your hands on limited edition merch with exclusive artwork by @quickreaver while you still can! It's only around until June 30th and then it's gone for good!
