Thank you either way, your art is sooooo nice :)))

Ok but let's talk about how well laid out the social organizations and traditions are. I didn't feel confused or lost and that's quite an achievement for me because sometimes too much description leaves me my brain with error 505

And Arthur's relationship with Merlin was intriguing from the start. Coming from Merlin's POV you'd think he'd be so oblivious to Arthur's actions and desires that the reader would overlook them too. But there is something in the back of Merlin's mind that gives him hope and makes him suspect (even if he doesn't want to admit it) that perhaps his feelings are reciprocated. That's what keeps the reader biting their nails waiting for a big move from Arthur. 

The unfolding of all the emotions and revelations was organic and fluid. Like them, it was not outrageously over the top but like their friendship, light and Heartwarming

The blink at Balinor and Hunith is also beautiful.

Own Goal by mag_lex (@maglex)

Yasmin Khan feels trapped and needs an escape from everyday life. She lives at home while she works towards passing police probation alongside her partner, Bill. Apart from work, all she does is sleep and her social life is barely existent.

She finally finds refuge in a local football team, but in the process encounters someone who gets well and truly under her skin: an enigmatic opposing player named Jules who has Yaz in her sights and a dark past that leaves Yaz wanting to know more.

Colors :))) do you like his light spots? They’re meant to resemble a deer’s hide

I might finish this one day. Yules mostly assists his community with woodworking, but he’s still a thingamajig, so he still fights baddies

His fairy creator and her two sisters, collectively known as The Cheer Fae. They’re under Fee De La Mort’s court so they’re kinda ominous

His caretakers, Papa Log and Uncle Twig. Log is a bit of a kooky old man who otherwise means well, and Twig is pretty lemony and stuck up, but genuinely does love his family

Some of these include his dear friend Whimsy :)))

Rest time for him. He needs the long nap
