hi, i just wanted to say that i absolutely love your writing! i’ve taken an involuntary break from reading (life, mental health, etc.) but reading everything from talking bird to your oneshots has excited me more than anything else in a long time. there’s no other way to describe your writing than masterful and brilliant and while i’m perfectly happy to reread your existing works and fall in love again, i really hope to keep reading new content from you in the future!

!!!!! Getting this in my inbox made my day so much. Thank you for reading my fics! And it makes me incredibly happy to know that they've had that effect on you💖. I've been juggling work, school, and some personal projects at the moment, but I absolutely do intend to keep writing, and I hope to publish new chapters/fics in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this message-- words can't express how much I appreciate this.

Foxglove and aconite, blue as evening. Clusters of wild carrot blossoms dotting the tall grass like scattered snowfall. The air crisp and clear, so unlike the oppressive St Denis fog you've grown accustomed to. All of it lovely enough to almost make you forget the gravity of your current situation.
You come to him with the insect sedate and oddly unafraid as it sits there on the back of your hand— reassured by the unspoken understanding between fragile things, he guesses.

Screaming and crying and tearing out tuftfuls of grass with my bare hands, redwritr I love this so fucking much you have no idea. The delicacy of the shading! His handwriting! The shadows of the aconite petals! Every bit of this is perfection and I appreciate every bit of effort that went into making this. I'm equal parts honored and staggered that you would take the time to make this, and I am, as always, in awe of your artistry. One million times thank you for this 😭💖💕💗🥺.

ARI HOLY FUCK THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERWORK.

Every bit of this is so perfect-- I love how the focus and the lighting falls to sharpen the expression on his face, and Nell's hand on hti cheek. The tenderness in that touch, and the darkness in the hollow of his eyes. The bird in the distance. There's so much delicacy here, and your linework is as always immaculate, but the individual brushstrokes that you do for the shading are just AAAAAAA holy shit dude. I'd have to run through an entire thesaurus to be able to adequately describe how much I love and admire this piece. Truly incredible .This wouldn't look out of place as a cover for a novel in a bookstore. Seeing this took my breath away.

I feel like a child on Christmas Eve waiting for the final chapter of Redbird to be released. I already know I'm going to be inconsolable once I read it because I'm already crying looking at these beautiful sketches. Please please please if you haven't read it yet, treat yourself to one of the most romantic, heart wrenching and masterfully written fics in the fandom (and beyond). And get prepared for me to gush about it non stop once it's out! I'm vibrating with excitement!

🌵

Seconding everything @readingcoco said here-- if you feel like your life lacks a certain element of beauty and incredible grace, please read Redbird. I'm incredibly excited for the concluding chapter, but also melancholy to see it end bc I've been thoroughly enjoying each installment of it so, so much.

Redwritr, I love every single one of these sketches so, so much. You do such an incredible job of replicating Arthur's style, and each sketch is also so fitting to the chapter that they correspond to that it really does feel like they've been ripped straight out of his journal. My favorites are the A❤️N sketch, and the one of her arm over her breast. Such delicate shading and linework 🥹💖

Sweet Love (Morgan & Family: A Fluff Dump, Pt. 3)

credit to @foundynnel i believe for the edit above

𑁦𐂂𑁦

RDR2 | Arthur Morgan x Female Reader | Rating: General | tumblr masterlist | Ao3 | Part 1 | Part 2

Summary: Part of a modern au (and post gang) fluff dump work. Arthur & reader visit the doctor’s office to see their baby for the first time. Some thoughtless rudeness threatens to derail their happy day. a/n: It’s just imaginary. It’s not real.

Tags: fluff without plot, fluff & angst, romantic fluff, hurt/comfort, protective Arthur, parenthood, mentions of sex, romantic teasing

Word count: 4,250

The paper underneath you rustles as you swing and bounce both feet at the edge of the exam bed by your ankles; but you can’t help it. Never in your wildest dreams did you actually think you’d ever get here.

Yet here you are, with Arthur by your side, filled past the brim with the most effervescent sparkles of nerves and anticipation. To actually see your baby. Your baby. Yours and Arthur’s. No one else’s. The product of your deep and steadfast love. After so very many, many years of so deeply pining, watching almost everyone around you know the precious gifts of their own children and parenthood, it’s finally your turn. Finally. It’s almost too much to hope for and be grateful for, all at once. You never thought you’d ever get here.

This is so sweet, I love how tender Arthur is in this 🥺💖

@shootybangbang :) a much better, more detailed sketch for your viewing pleasure

dfhjkhasasjklfhklfhhjkrrr aaaaa you continue to honor me with your work thank you thank you 😭

Words can't describe how much I love this. I left this scene undescribed in the fic bc I wanted the focus to be on Trelawney standing there like "what the fuck is going on", but this is pretty much exactly what I had pictured in my head for it. I love every bit of this-- the hair, the gently way he's handling her, her hair draped over her shoulder, the towel. Such incredible, detailed work, and I appreciate it so much. 💖💗🥺😭

Pspspsps @shootybangbang :) i did some lee sketches

Oh my god holy fuck thank you so much 🥺❤️😭! I am 100% not worthy of such incredible work from you, and am so floored that you took the time and effort to create something like this. Lying on ground right now like a boned fish.

I love the way that you draw her eyes and expression-- she looks so melancholy and tired. And the way that you shade her hair is so pretty, definitely taking notes from you on that. I love every bit of this, but I think my favorite is the drawing of her back. There's something about her pose and the draping of her hair that's just so evocative.

Thank you again for drawing this 🥺. I love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
