What the Water Gave Me as inspiration…
Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones…
But oh, my love, don’t forget me, I let the water take me…

“Teeth in the Dark”
Earlier when you and Mr. Gates were having words, you mentioned a letter. What was in it, Billy? Billy! What was in it?
Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) in Black Sails, season 1 episode VI.
Another lighting and colour study with ps dry media brushes. The title is a reference to Norman Reedus’ cat “Eye In The Dark” because it is such a cool name and I kept thinking about it quite early on when drawing this… Please, do not repost elsewhere 🙂
Thomas’s eyes – Thomas positivity gifset request for anon
Charles Vane (Black Sails, Zach McGowan) by the blazing fire
Working / inspiration music was “Eagleheart” & “Hunting High and Low” by Stratovarius. Someday I’ll draw a proper study of him instead of always hiding him in sand, water or in this case darkness and fire… Please do not repost elsewhere 🙂
“Dawn is not yet even a suggestion on the horizon; only the stars see them. Thomas smiles against his lips, then sighs at the touch of James’s fingertips on his neck, his silver hair. He nuzzles the tip of his nose against James’s cheek, and reaches for him in the dark once more.”

Everyone is a monster to someone.
You know you’re fucked when even the Westboro Baptist Church comes to the Women’s March to protest.
Oh. My. God. THEY are protesting Trump? Oh my lord
EVEN DEMONS KNOW
O.O
Wow. INCREDIBLE.
That’s 740,000 more people than attended Trump’s inauguration.
so last night i was rereading house proud by astolat, aka the best harry potter fic there ever ever was, & then i started having Thoughts about hp wizards being the descendants of the fae cuz it just makes!! so much sense!!!
i am perpetually disappointed by so much of jkr’s world-building but this in particular bothers me so much cause like
she placed so much emphasis on blood lines & ~purity but the only ever used it as a shite allegory for racism
u know who gives a thousand shits about blood lines? the fae. u know who goes to great lengths to exist separately from humans? the fae. u know whose society is split into groups based on personality? the fae!!
the evolution of wizarding society makes so much more sense!! if u interpret them as being fae adapting to the changing world!!!
no wait actually im not done
like just consider, for a second, hogwarts houses being based on fae courts
they align so perfectly??
hufflepuff is the spring court (cheerful, optimistic, peaceful); gryffindor is the summer court (fierce, bold, energetic); ravenclaw is the autumn court (serene, reflective, wise); slytherin is the winter court (aloof, harsh, unforgiving)
and that makes hufflepuff & gryffindor seelie, and ravenclaw & slytherin unseelie
so wizarding society is slowly shifting from the formality of courts to something more casual as bloodlines are diluted & muggleborns become more common
& then hogwarts is founded and cements the shift by making it formal but not directly connected to the old ways
which explains why wizarding society places so much importance on the house system, and why personality/character factors into it, and why slytherin has such a pureblood bias because of COURSE the winter court is going to be pickiest about it’s members
i am never going back from this headcanon this is my life now
OH SHIT Y’ALL QUIDDITCH IS TOTALLY THE WILD HUNT???
like what if it was literally originally the hunt. it gets more sport-like as bloodlines dilute & picks up more muggle elements as muggleborns increase but
originally, the snitch was a person & it was a hunt
cuz why else would catching the snitch end the game!!!
& over time the area hunts can pass through get smaller & smaller so they adapt,
and the snitch becomes an enchanted object when wizards start becoming few enough killing each other for sport is a bit ridiculous, & muggleborns come along & suggest beaters and goals and a point system
but they never get rid of the snitch or catching it or that being The Goal because it feels right
I feel very strongly that @seananmcguire needs to see this.
