Image Description: Simon and Baz are (shirtless) awash in warm and cool lighting - a gentle nod to their personality differences that, once they get over their shenanigans, mingle beautifully.
And with that, I’m signing off until just before the New Year. Happiest of Holidays to everyone!
One last set for 2018. A retrospective of sorts with a promise of wonderful things to come in 2019. :)
Last January, I never could have dreamed that the year would end this way - with new friends, a new fandom, and a seemingly endless impulse to create. I can’t overstate how grateful I am for all of it, and all of you.
Thank you so much for being here. To my fellow artists and writers, thank you for sharing your gifts and inspiring me to be better. And to @rainbowrowell, thank you for being a lightworker and bringing stories into the world that fill us up with magic.
*raises a glass* Here’s to endings and beginnings and all the ways we change each other for the better. Happy New Year, everyone!
It’s 11:11 PM in Washington DC right now, the kids are sleeping, and I’m holding back tears at all the beautiful notes left on this post. Since I can’t go through and issue replies individually without blowing up notes, I just wanted to say to everyone who reblogged and commented with such incredibly kind words and well wishes for 2019, I am sending you all my love tonight. ❤️
OMG I REALIZED SOMETHING ABOUT THE FIRST 6
It’s like a comparison with 3 from 1st year and 3 from 8th year right? AND THEY ARE ALMOST THE SAME
Like not the same same but the same type of image like look at their positions
First one is a handshake and Simon is in the same position (baz slightly different)
Second is sitting next to each other but they are turned slightly different angles between them
Third has Simon reaching across the front to grab baz
Like look at the positions between them omg
I didn’t see that before
@vkelleyart I love the nuances in all your astounding work!!!!
YOU NOTICED! I love that you picked up on it! *high fives*
First pic of 2019 and something to tide us over until we go vampire hunting. :)
If you’re like me, you read this part of Carry On and thought, “THIS was the guy who gives awkward hugs?” Because despite being starved of love his whole life, Simon clearly knows how to do affection. I think he just saves it for Baz, is all.
(Also, I generally imagine that, if the sun is creeping up here, they probably got somewhat -*ahem*- feverish in their make-out session. Hence, missing jumper and buttons undone. I dunno. I could be wrong…)
Snow sighs and squeezes my hand–and when I yelp, he frowns and holds it up between us: There’s a cross-shaped burn on my palm from when I yanked his necklace off last night. (His cross is on the other side of the room now; Snow took care of it himself this time.)
Have you ever been listening to Rainymood and thought, “Yeah, this is good … but it would be nice if I could customize the sound more, or if there was a little more choice.
MyNoise is a customizable sounscape looper with so many options, even within each soundscape. So say, for instance, you really love rain sounds when you write or study or relax. Anything. I know I’m a big fan of rain sounds. They have a page for that.
But say you like really high, pattery rain, and LOTS of low thunder. Here’s where MyNoise really stands out: you can customize that. See those sliders with all the cute colors? That is your equalizer. You can adjust the levels based on what you want to hear more and less of. Here’s how it looks when you want high, pattery rain and low, rumbly thunder:
But say rain isn’t really your jam. Say you want something a little more ambient, a little more background noise-y. Something with people. Well, they have customizable coffee house chatter that even has the levels listed for things like “kitchen,” “babble,” and “table”:
Or say you miss the ocean.
Or say you miss your cat.
Or say you miss your spaceship.
Or say you miss the dungeon where you and your team of scalawag adventurers used to explore and face off against, say, dragons. In the dungeon.
This site is seriously so helpful, and those are just a fraction of every kind of sounscape the site has to offer. The best part is that if you want to layer it with music (for instance, I’ll layer a playlist + rain + coffee shop if the scene I’m writing takes place in a coffee shop), you can adjust the master volume, meaning all of your layers stay at their respective volumes, just louder or quieter.
When you pick up the first book in a series you read years ago to reread it is the weirdest and best thing.
You can feel yourself being sucked back into something that never went away, but feels new and nostalgic at the same time.
You find the hidden gems and watch the characters fumble and deny and develop while knowing what’s to come
