Back with some more @penumbrabang art! This art was for the first fic I got assigned to called Tournament of Hearts by the absolutely amazing @acesaru !!
Guys. I was absolutely enamored with this fic from the first moment I read it and Saru is so great at capturing Ale and Angelo’s personalities. If you are a fan of the Second Citadel storyline or if you just want to read a wholesome, wonderful pining friends to lovers story, read this. I promise you won’t regret it. I have already read the drafts dozens of times and I can’t wait to read the full edited version after work today.
I was so excited to draw for this and I hope you all like it! Read the fic here:
EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ART DRAWN FOR MY FIC 💖 I was beyond lucky to have Lex as an artist for this year’s bang, I can’t get enough of how they draw Angelo and Ale. Look at them! The soft lighting, their expressions, the everything!
Happy Penumbra Bang season, and check out the @penumbrabang to see everyone’s amazing pieces!

Just saw a Barbie ad here for the first time. It is starting, folks. They must already be desperate if they’re buying ad space on TUMBLR.
Do not reblog official marketing or ads from struck works
including (but not remotely limited to) Barbie. They are advertising here because their actors are on strike and will not promote their products.
Barbie is not a struck work. It is okay to reblog barbie content. It’s done and finished. Going to premiers for it is crossing the line. But going to the regular ass movie is not.
Read me and read me good: not seeing Barbie is a great way to show execs that we don’t care about writers and actors.
Let me say that again: going to see Barbie is GOOD for the strike. Many people who WORKED on barbie are striking. They probably have not been paid yet.
The unions HAVE NOT asked us to picket the movie. Just the premier.
The original post is disinformation.
I believe it to be coming from a good place but avoiding works that are NOT being struck is genuinely harmful to the cause.
