Calm Emotions
Look, I needed to draw some damn comfort for these two cause they never get a second to just breathe and chill and again, call me silly but I still can't bring myself to draw the angst yet.
Oh and here, I always have Imodna in mind whenever I listen to this song. That's my contribution to the ongoing angst I guess? If not don't mind me :')

me, incorrect: everyone is probably sick of me drawing this character by now...
my inner voice, wise: ah, but this cannot be... because I am part of "everyone"... and until I am sick of drawing them... it will not be everyone

hey, i just finished the ones we burn the other day and OH MY GOSHHHHH
this book means sosososo much to me thank you for writing it
firstly: the dynamics between ranka and the other 3 leads are FANTASTIC; Galen and Percy having so much in common with her while also being just different enough to make the comparisons interesting (raised and groomed for power vs violently thrust into and overtaken by it, once les astray by a flawed visionary vs. still entrapped within the vision of one), and i don't think i need to touch on how much of a perfect foil aramis is to her
secondly: I LOVE the world you built!!! the way magic works, the amount of questions about the world i have that went unanswered(praise, not criticism), the excerpt about witchery and trans people :) i got hooked instantly by the worldbuilding
finally, and probably more importantly: it is staggering how much of myself i saw in those pages, as a 17 year old trans girl. Ranka's story, the way she's treated and treats others, her magic, the way Aramis treats her and changes her with her blind acceptance and understanding, i could go on for hours about how healing and eye-opening and AJHSHHXJAHZHHAA this book made me feel.
You truly wrote, in my eyes, a BEAUTIFUL piece of literature, that I will probably think about for years or ever.
And- you've made a lifelong fan❤️(I'm getting mossborn soon :3)
Oh man, what a wonderful, wonderful message to wake up to! Thank you so, so much for reading.
I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the story – and thank you, truly, for taking the time to write such a sweet note. So much of writing is creating in isolation, setting your little book out to sea, and praying whatever distant shore it's landed on, it's loved by whoever found it (and that it wasn't like, eaten by a whale on the journey or something.) But it's one thing to hope and one thing to know a book found the right reader. <3 May you find 20 dollars on the ground, may your pillow always be cold, etc, etc.
I'd say Ranka and co appreciate it, but I think they'd mostly be like, "What the hell is tumblr? What is the internet?" and then, very quickly, Percy would figure out how to use the internet and hire someone to assassinate me for all the trouble I put them through.
But I appreciate it! So, thank you again for reading and for the lovely words!
And happy reading with Mossheart! I'm always curious to see what intentional and accidental parallels readers pick up with my work.
The only way out of this is to choose yourself, again and again, even when it's hard. Even when it's terrifying. Even when you feel like the most broken, unworthy, worthless person in the world.

picked up a novel thinking it's a lesbian dark fantasy arranged marriage. turns out it is a lesbian dark fantasy arranged marriage with themes of overcoming trauma and realizing your family was abusive and you didn't deserve that treatment and it also has taylor swift and atla references.
You are very small…and I am very strong

I cackled when I read this-
just had the most evil idea what if I painted Belren in the moment that Ranka’s blood magic manifested. what if I draw her and she’s in tears and
