Today is the last day to preorder the Fates 10th Anniversary fanzine! I got to write a super fun and emotional fic about Lilith, and I love her. If you, like me, also love small dragon girls finding emotional resolutions, definitely check out "Lilith, Alone" in the zine!

Panel 1: student age rodrigue marveling at a sigil in his hands, surrounded by glittering smoke and a library shelf Caption: being from faerghus, I had been born with a lance in hand, of course. But at garreg mach, they told me I had a gift for faith. Panel 2: rodrigue caressing the glowing smoke, representing his own healing magic, against his face Caption: that’s beautiful, isn’t it? To believe.

5 years since we kicked off Aries season with Rodrigue. #FE3H

Panel 1: Ferdinand panting on the ground, kneeling and propped up by his lance Panel 2: Hazy edelgard timeless viewed as if standing over viewer. Ferdinand: I will defeat you, Edelgard. One day- Panel 3: Ferdinand: I will become a better ruler than you! Panel 4: Edelgard in stark black and white, furious, looking back over her shoulder Panel 5: Edelgard obscured half in shadow with her axe over one shoulder, illuminated by the Crest of Flames, walking away from Ferdinand kneeling in the light. What little of her face is visible shows her losing her composure, with a bright tear streak on her cheek. Edelgard: Mark well, Ferdinand. You are looking at the ultimate emperor to rule Fódlan. Your own father has made abundantly sure of that.

Ferdinand and Edelgard, 2020. I think I first published this on his birthday, haha. #FE3H

Some snowy mountains before a storm-gray sky. Vibrant dark green grass spreads out before them in the foreground.

An abstract painted meadow. Yellow grass seeds and red and blue flowers recede into the background as the grass gets darker

Snow capped mountains before a blue sky. In the foreground are conifer trees in sharp spiky shapes

A brown stream running through dry red and yellow grass at golden hour.

My procreate painting backgrounds phase from 2020. These are relaxing doodles. I should do this again sometime.

An illustration of characters from the game Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. Male Corrin holds his sword in front of his face, eyes closed. Azura is pictured in the corner, singing and framing her pendant; her hair, flowing behind her, turns into water. Portraits of the Hoshidan army, including the royal family, are in the background.

Panel 1: Edelgard and Ferdinand sitting together. He is glancing over at her, but she is staring forward. Edelgard: did you misremember what I said, Ferdinand? I never told you I was born to rule Panel 2: Edelgard and Ferdinand sitting together from the back, in shadow. A long straight scar with stitches is seen along Edelgard’s spine through the heart cutout in the back of her dress. Edelgard: I said, “I was made for it.”

Edelgard and Ferdinand, #FE3H 2020. I think I first shared this one on her birthday.

Simple traditional illustration of a girl sitting on the ground. She stares at a calendar hung up on the wall, which has the first day of the month crossed off. To her right is a window, through which one can see the sun shining through clouds. Rain falls all around her, and the window drapes look like waves spilling onto the ground.

I very deliberately never post my own… “demographic information” associated with my artwork, even and especially in categories where I count as a minority. So the whole comics mess yesterday made me sad in a way I can’t articulate without breaking my own policy.

Second most famous person there to me after you
