Hello flist, it's been a little while since my last confession, please forgive this multifandom spam which I am about to dubcon upon you.

Gorgeous artwork, as always! I especially love the first two - those confident, curvy lines - intriguing and mysterious and beautiful. The strong contrast of values in the first one is striking, too.

I am so psyched that you are writing a Loki/Steve epic!! I can't wait to read it. I'm sure you have this covered, but if you happen to need a beta or cheerleader, I'd be happy to volunteer.

ASDFGHJKL: LOKI/STEVE. I mean... L O K I / S T E V E! This is all your fault, you know. I really, really want to write this thing. I have it all blocked out and the first half pretty much down in a first draft, so not going too badly for time. Seriously, I'll take time off work to write it, I don't even care, vacation time, who the hell needs that, I HAVE TO WRITE A LOKI/STEVE SOULBONDING TRAVESTY. And now that you have commented, I fully expect you to be one of the three people actually interested in reading it too, just so you know >.> And in the meantime, I absolutely and desperately need the cheering!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[avidrosette]

Ha, ha!! Sorry? Loki/Steve is one of those pairings that you never really consider until you read it a couple of times and then it hits you like a LIGHTNING BOLT. Good for you for having the whole fic blocked out! It sounds like it's gripped you in a major way - "Seriously, I'll take time off work to write it, I don't even care, vacation time, who the hell needs that" - LOL! I know the feeling. I will absolutely read it, and I'm very happy to cheer you on, as well. Feel free to email me along the way if it's helpful, avidrosette at yahoo dot com. Good luck!

You do such beautiful work.

I am amazed at all the fandoms! I guess you always get to choose what you want to work on, but I'm in just two fandoms and allow myself to get sucked into too many challenges and fests.

[alby_mangroves]

For a long time I was very much fandom monogamous but after a while I just wanted to see how other fandoms operated, you know? I think it's really interesting because there are definitely quirks and ways to do / not to do things in other fandoms. And there is so much amazing fic out there to read! And I wanna read ALL OF IT \o/

But in terms of art, I want to work on my skills and drawing new faces and tropes has been really good for me. I really enjoy being multifandom and multishipping as well, but at any given time a certain ship or fandom will be particularly inspiring so I'll gravitate towards that.

I certainly know what you mean about being sucked into challenges and fests though! I'm rather compulsive about it too! haha :D and also apparently can't spell, sorry for the edits

Yassssss for the bonus Olly at the end there.
Have followed you on Instagram. Feel free to follow back. I have nothing on there at the moment. Lol.

N yasssss for Nolly on Yuletide. I'm dying for more. As you know I'm a tad obsessed. 😁
Love you. 💘

[alby_mangroves]

OH MY GOD, I've been having so much fun flicking through their instagrams! They're so in love and so beautiful, it's practically DISGUSTING! Oh, yeah, I feel you bb! I'm hopeful that we'll get some new fic out of this year yet :D

[significantowl]

ooh, I can definitely see the Fassbender in Erika! She's gorgeous. Those cheekbones!

I have an instagram, I think, I may have posted one pic of my cat on it once :D If I figure out how I'm gonna follow you! (And then I will let you know, bc I don't even know what my username is, but it may not be significantowl XD)

[alby_mangroves]

I sort of had a go at feminising and softening her face but keeping Fassy's eyes and general Erik attitude. Harder than it seems! lol.

I originally got this Instagram a while ago and never did anything with it, but I thought it might be good for wips instead of cluttering my tumblr with repeats upon repeats of daily WIP updates. It's been quite fun so far! <3

The hd_fanart fest is happening again, so all your Draco/Harry needs will be well sorted, I'll be keeping an eye on the prompts, for sure :)

LAWKS A MERCY

I feel so bad picking up on that first out of all of these glories, but, MY OTP FEELS ARE SPROINGING. You know that prompt? That really good prompt? The one that I wrote That's the one you want, isn't it?

And then, these pretty, pretty arts. Gosh, I love the first one especially. It does look very Fassbender, but also a touch of Hiddleston, which is interesting... is Hiddleston basically a more feminine Fassbender? And so many pretty pirates. ♥ Gorgeous, every one.

[alby_mangroves]

Why are you feeling bad?! I feel even badderer because I lost track of your message the other day and didn't respond to it, but thank you for sending that info through because it made me go OH YEAH! THAT FEST WAS AMAZE! Seriously, I'm still overwhelmed at the reception that picture received. I would love to take part again and pester you for brainstorming and canon beta

[birdsofshore]

Gosh don't worry about that! I was rather cheeky to poke you so persistently. But it warms my heart to hear that you enjoyed your reception in H/D land. Please feel free to pester me for the rest of my life, I demand it <3
