Maleficent: When crows remember those who wronged them and hold grudges, it’s “intelligent” and “really cool”, but when I do it, I’m “petty” and “need to move on”. What kind of double standard-
may i offer you some doodles in this trying time of my art block
some more favorite bits from Heart of the Moors :D
[ID: Several scribbly doodles illustrating scenes from Heart of the Moors by Holly Black (A Maleficent novel)
1. Maleficent is pounding on a table and wheezing with laughter. She says, “Hahaha holy shit! I can’t believe we got Prince Phillip to eat a mouse heart.” Diaval, looking unamused, says “Ican’t believe you made me give it away.”
2. Prince Phillip, haven just eaten the mouse heart and looking queasy. He says, “A d-delicacy…” Diaval in raven form says, “ey.”
3. Two panels of Queen Aurora. In the first, Count Alain’s arm is handing her a necklace made of iron, while she grimaces and says “Haahahaaaa… awesome…” In the second panel, she is tossing the necklace into a fire. It says BURN
4. Two panels of Maleficent and Diaval in human form at the festival. In the first, Diaval is holding a mug of a foamy beverage. He says, “WHOA. Mistress, you tried this stuff?” She says, “No thanks.” In the second panel, Maleficent is looking disturbed down at Diaval who is off panel. Diaval says, “You’re so pretty.” Maleficent replies, “How many did you have.” Diaval replies, “One?” An artist’s note indicates that this second panel did not happen, but it would have been funny.
5. Two types of couples. One half shows Maleficent and Diaval on their feet and bickering. On the other, Aurora has Phillip’s head gently pillowed on her lap. Phillip is bleeding from his side. Aurora says, “I love you.” Phillip pauses for a long time and then says, “I didn’t think I was dying that much.”
6. Diaval in human form is holding a mouse in his hands and staring at it with wide eyes. Phillip, who is still lying in Aurora’s lap, shouts, “Diaval. Hey! Give me the mouse.” Diaval says “Whaaat, you think I’d eat him?” Phillip replies, “Yes.”
