“To live and die with Nathaniel by his side would be an awfully big adventure.” - THE SUN AND THE SHADOW by Ilya Ellis
When Pride Book Crate approached me with a commission of a scene from an upcoming queer sequel to/retelling of Peter Pan, I about lost my mind. I have been low-key obsessed with J.M. Barrie’s tale since I made it the subject of my master’s thesis, and hell YES it sounded like a dream commission!
This art depicts an older Peter Pan with his friend-to-lover Nathaniel in Neverland in a moment evocative of JM Barrie’s Peter visiting Wendy at the window. I hope you enjoy it, and enormous thanks to Pride Book Crate and Ilya Ellis for bringing me aboard to draw it!
He awakens at sundown and stretches his soft hungry jaw, thirsting for the sun-burst pleasure of sinking tiny pinprick teeth into the yielding flesh of a mango.
He would bite the moon – the orange-yellow prayer that hangs heavy on the highest branch – but his calls to her do not echo back and there are other fruits to eat with small upside down baby hands and a face joyously wet with juice, wet with the consequence of wanting.
At dawn he will curl up in the tender hollow of my chest, folding thin-veined wings around the noise he makes to find his way back home to me. Vellum and high yearning sound (ah! ah! ah!) that my heart chirps back.
This is how I find my way to you. I cry out and you make the same cry, the taste of the call welling up sweet and green-gold-red beneath the curl of my tongue.
I bend to kiss you and it is dusk again in my soul, your arms laced around me are my bat-box, my roost. My dim cave and the soft-near bodies of my family nestled close as well. In your embrace, the moon returns my hunger pang.
I just made this little fanmade trailer about my fantasy of having all the love interest in My Candy Love, including Eric. All 9 options ❤️❤️❤️ Ahhh… after all this time I still love and miss Kentin… You can also watch the video on youtube
I don’t understand what happened to the Ferelden Grey Wardens in DA:I. Like, I don’t believe they’d go along with Clarel’s bullshit at all. Where are they? Did DA:I catch them in the middle of a retreat to Antiva or what?
Sigrun:(building a kickass sandcastle with Oghren’s kid) Relax already, Nate. Enjoy the beach. Look, the Commander’s doing a keg stand again. Go cheer them on. We deserve this.
Nathaniel Howe:(stress-squeezing a beach ball, never having relaxed or enjoyed anything in his life) Do you think everything’s okay at home?
