Everyone! Keep your fingers crossed! The battle is not over yet.
Keep calling, emailing, sending letters! Bug your senators until they do something!
I knew this would turn out absolutely amazing, but It is even more amazing then I could have imagined. This is so beautiful! I love this piece so much! 😍
Estela is easily my favourite choices character so I might be a bit biased, but this is one of my favourite pieces of fanart yet. Our girl Estela definitely deserved this fine and gorgeous treatment.
So I’ve finished the fan art of Estela (finally!)
The Bird-foots-trefoil symbolizes revenge (since she wanted revenge for her mothers death), and the olive branches symbolize peace (that she made with herself and her past, at the end of book 2 and beginning of book 3).
The Star constellation in the background is Draco, her hadean zodiac (which is also the amulet on the … necklace (head-lace ?) )
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the drawing ^^
if you ever doubt your writing, be it your themes, or the reason behind it, remember that h.g wells wrote war of the worlds both as a commentary on colonialism and the horrors it brings, and because he fucking hated his neighbours and his 13 hour job, and wanted to write about the town in which he lived getting blasted to the fucking ground by lasers into an irreparable heap and all of the townspeople dying painfully
you, too, can channel your hatred for that guy that lives down the hall and blasts music at 4am into the one of the most influential science fiction stories ever written! fuck it! i believe in you!!

How the setting looks in my head:
How the description comes out on the page:
This just warms my heart. How could this not be canon?
The idea of Cassandra and Dorian being trashy romance novel buddies delights me to no end.
(Especially if they’re the sort of people who can keep a blank face while reading smut but completely lose it over fluff)
Agreed. Plus there are no details about the specific job itself. It could just be a management job. I was considered a manager when I got my first supervisor position. I highly doubt she is the store manager.

‘i wish the freshman/the sophomore was more realistic. like today’s chapter, becca’s been working at uskea for, like, what? three months, tops? and she just lands the management position just like that. realism, who? it’s her very first job and she has no prior work experience, and yet? like, i get she’s been working hard to be a good employee, but that alone isn’t going to get you a management position after only three months (at most). it’s not that i want characters to suffer unnecessarily or anything, but i would like there to be some realistic consequences within this universe of rose petals and conveniences. i feel like it would have been better for becca to not get the management job, because that’s what would have actually happened irl in most situations, and i think it would help her realize even more that sometimes life just doesn’t go the way we want it, and sometimes it’s disappointing, but that we can still carry on and do our best in spite of that. but instead it feels like becca’s life lessons ring kind of hollow because everyone in the freshman sophomore universe always gets what they want in the end, they always win, they’re always deliriously happy and never disappointed and it’s just not realistic. again, i’m not saying i want everyone to suddenly suffer or only be ravaged with pain consequence after painful consequence, but it’s a bit too perfect of a world for the tfts cast, and it reads kind of boring and trite sometimes.’
