aka a list of things I want to read, some of which I can’t be bothered to write because I have too many projects already

disclaimer because i know someone is going to complain: this is my personal wishlist that i’m sharing to help inspire some story ideas so if something you want is absent from this list then make your own damn list and remind yourself that i am not a robot servant who caters to your every want

  1. An accurate portrayal of a banshee
  2. Gay and bi male characters who have strong friendships and emotional connections with other men without being attracted to them/in love with them (half of this is dependent on how fans (especially female fans) interpret the relationship)
  3. Medieval fantasy inspired by the Gaels, i.e. the actual Gaels, not the crap you see in the “Celtic” tag on tumblr
  4. Slavic-inspired medieval fantasy
  5. Related to #3, I’d like to see tanistry in medieval fantasy because I’m sick of primogeniture-based conflicts
  6. Something with ancient Carthage
  7. A hunter-gatherer population with ascribed status, i.e. people are born into different social classes (this is uncommon for nomadic, foraging populations)
  8. More detailed world building, e.g. people choosing the more expensive yet less functional/weaker material to build their house because it reflects that they have money, or gardens in a dry/desert environment being a sign of status and wealth
  9. Masculine gay male characters who don’t [insert super-feminine thing here] in one scene so that the writer can introduce some comic relief/prove to the audience that he really is gay 
  10. Straight male characters who are feminine
  11. Lgbt+ characters who are apathetic about being lgbt+
  12. Gay/bi male characters who don’t have any love interests/romantic subplots
  13. Welsh-based names in a fantasy that are actually Welsh-based and not just English names or keyboard smashes with excess Ys and DDs and Ws and Fs.
  14. A male witch in a contemporary setting who isn’t dark and mysterious and who doesn’t have to be feminine to believably engage in something typically associated with women
  15. True gray morality. I want to be fighting myself over which side I agree with. Every side should have really good and really bad reasons for doing what they’re going. They should have both positive and negative consequences if they reach their goal. All sides should have characters we love and characters we hate. No character should be wholly or mostly “good” or “evil”. All of their reasons, their goals, their actions, and their consequences should differ and should have both negative and positive effects.
  16. I want the “chosen one” to lose. Badly. I want them to get their ass kicked and I don’t want them to have a comeback.
  17. A fight to the death where the reader desperately wants both characters to live. And none of this “oh, we found a way for both of them to live!” crap. I want someone dead.
  18. I need some antagonists that I actually hate. Like Umbridge. Or Delilah (Dishonored). Or Joffrey.
  19. Overweight male characters WHO AREN’T SUPER TALL.
  20. I want the Hagrids and the McGonagalls and the Mr and Mrs Weasleys of the world to betray the protagonist. Give me that character who is obviously trustworthy and rip my heart out.
  21. I need fantasy worlds to give actual names to places. “The Great Sea” and “The Dark Forest” and “The Central River” and “West Plains” and “Southwestia” are crap names. I know that there are some places in our world that are actually called stuff like this, but when you’re writing fantasy you have every chance in the world to come up with something better.
  22. Why is everyone always late to something at the start of a story? Stop being late. Wake up earlier. If your little brother is holding you back then say “sucks for you” and go on without him.
  23. Your grandfather’s sword is rusty and dull and the pommel fell off. Just let it die. Just get a new sword. A better sword.
  24. I want a protagonist who has already left home. They’re not on an adventure yet or anything. They’re just “in between” places right now. Or maybe they just like to always be on the move. Or maybe they’re a hunter and only have temporary homes.
  25. Dwarves without beards and elves without pointy ears.
  26. I want the protagonist to upgrade as they get better at whatever it is they do. Sure, there’s sentimental value in The First Sword or The First Horse, but there are better things out there. Longer-lasting things. Play some video games and take a damn hint.
  27. Good, detailed world building. I want the world to feel real yet unfamiliar.
  28. Worlds that exist with little context. They just are. They’re just magical, nonsensical places that still seem to make sense by themselves.
  29. Put the magic back in fantasy. I want rare magical plants with glowing sap within the stem that hardens and shatters into a few precious gems. I want these gems to have a 10% chance of granting a small wish before turning into a rainbow diamond and a 90% chance of exploding into a pinch of orange dust that, once you’ve gathered enough, can be used in a healing cream.
  30. Happy sci-fi.
  31. Fat characters who aren’t dumb/evil/killed off immediately/portrayed as pathetic losers.
  32. I want things to change within the story. I don’t want them to be magically resurrected.restored because the author can’t seem to let go.
  33. YA that takes place during a long school break, like summer break or winter break, so that nothing takes place during school.
  34. Flip the trend: male characters use stealth/non-violence to settle conflicts, women use violence.

when ppl act like leaving gifts for fairies is to get the fairies’ attention so they’ll be kind to you~~ when really leaving gifts for fairies is the supernatural equivalent of a mafia protection racket

if you don’t keep up, you wake up to a broken toadstool on your front step.

Jabberwocky - 2016 Comic Project

  Finally got round to uploading my final uni project from last year! The brief was to make a fully illustrated version of Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky”. It was my first time doing a full color comic and even though it took super long to finish, it was a lot of fun to work on :D

{Read it in Full Size over on DeviantArt!}

MORE ART HERE! :D

(DON’T REPOST TO OTHER SITES)

vvvv  (last few pages under the cut cause I don’t wanna take up the whole dash)  vvvv

Keep reading
