THE BUNNY EARS-
le Christmas AU | Something Red
Free Day
Based on aguerobaam’s work inspired from The toymakers by Robert Dinsdale
Yes, It’s not classical fairytale from the Grimm Brothers nor the work of my favorite fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen.
I’m grateful to my friends who mentioned that I should read the fic. @p0l-anka @1-800-i-ship-it Even tho it’s fanmade, it gives warm and mezmerizing ambiance while reading it. It feels young again, the nostalgia of gift giving and toys as a kid.
To be honest, my real intention is to draw “The Wild Swans of Hans Christian”. But the nudge and suggestion of my friends to read aguerobaam’s fic gave me a strong urge to do this instead.
The story of “The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale” is ethereal, magical and warm. There’s a tug and good feeling, a sanctuary in the midst of this reality. It’s like a dream that I don’t want to end. I won’t drop the whole story here because my words won’t do justice in the beauty of it. Besides, I’m not finished yet. I only have the copy of it from e-books and I want to buy the hardcopy of itself. Too bad, I can’t get out.
These works made me feel like I’m home. A home that I’ve been longing for.
And as appreciation, I made a fanart.
I rest my case.

To those who’re interested in the fic.
Come, wayward souls And wander through the darkness There is a light, for the lost and the meek Sorrow and fear are easily forgotten When you submit to the soil of the earth
Grow, tiny seed You are called to the trees Rise till your leaves fill the sky Until your sighs fill the air in the night Lift your mighty limbs And give praise to the fire
