Papercraft commission of the Golden Trio and their patronuses, which was an absolute delight to work on! I’d never actually done the HP kids in paper before (save for a very tiny Hermione years ago), so it was a treat to finally make them.

I was listening to Harry Potter audiobooks while working recently! Deathly Hallows is my favorite book of the series, and I’ve always loved this scene. Took the opportunity to experiment with some painting techniques while making this fun little piece.

- everyone answering “no, i’m fred” to “are you [insert Y/N]” even hermione - everything draco does ever - calling blast ended skrewts “power bottoms” - calling newt scamander bad variations of his name like nerd sandwicher etc - colin creevey using that one picture he managed to get of hermione punching draco as a reaction image - shouting “spank me daddy” at the whomping willow - [pointing at random object] that’s a portkey - every single cat is professor mcgonagall

“I want to discuss the work of disabled genre authors, or authors who celebrate disability in their work. Here’s five of them you’ve definitely heard of—some of them write about disability, some don’t, but ll of them have changed the landscape of SFF.”

See this shiny edition of City of Dragon? It’s Harper Voyager, and it’s around 11.2x18cm. I’m missing (all by Robin Hobb as part of the realm of the elderlings series): - Ship of Destiny (Liveship traders 3) - Fool’s errand (Tawny man 1) - Dragon Keeper (Rain Wild 1) - Blood of Dragons (Rain Wild 4) If you have one of these and are willing to sell it to me, please send me a private message! If you could reblog this so lots of people see it, it would be lovely 💜

My boyfriend and I have been binge watching this show all day, it’s like a kid version of Rick and Morty ha!!
