That title fitting is the only good thing to come out of 2016

Okay so here is some fan art for people on Wattpad who I stalk- I mean read from- and I love them dearly so I'm going to spread some love around. Should you read their stories?

Yes.

Definitely.

Absolutely.

Those are the only three options. Go read their books.

This is Killian from Sparrowheart838's beautiful duology (unless she plans to make a third one), Unmasked and Unmarked. They're arguably some of the best Warriors fanfictions on here and I would have done fanart sooner but I always had a hard time deciding on the cat.

Killian is a background character whose first line is calling someone a sweetheart. He is the definition of photogenic and in this picture, he has defied the laws of cat lips to make a duck face, as is normal in the wild. 

He is my beautiful adopted son and I headcanon him with curly fur even though cats with curly fur are super rare. I just can't get enough of this guy. 

This is Burnetstar from Dictator, a CYOA fanfiction by PoppyTea. Just reading it makes me incredibly giddy and it has to be the most original concept I've seen for a story on here. Have you ever wanted to play as a clan leader and STRAIGHT UP MURDER EVERYONE WHO GETS IN YOUR WAY? 

Well, you have to murder them tactfully.

And there are statistics.

Margaret from ambergem16's Margaret's Diamond nuzlocke, which just unveiled one of the greatest mindfucks in any nuzlocke ever. Her book is one of the only other frequently updating nuzlockes on here and it needs more love because it is SO. GOOD. 

Amber also did the cover for Broken Souls and is all around incredible, so hit her up with a PM/follow while you're there.

Mango from the School of Freaks series by Warriormissy, more specifically from the story Howl of the Hunted by AwsomeDragons (yes it is supposed to be spelled that way).  At this point I would just illustrate all of her books (I kind of have an obsession with them) but she's also an incredible artist.

Just. 

Also Mango ISN'T HER REAL NAME AND I FEEL HURT AND LIED TO.

(Is that a spoiler jay on a scale of yes to no because I'll take it down)

Wrapping up the evening, we have Toxic Glow whose arms are currently malfunctioning because one minute doodle. The page just wasn't complete without his UNDYING ANGER.

Toxic Glow belongs to Viskarna (this link will probably in a few months because they kEEP CHANGING THEIR USERNAME) and the deepest recesses of my thirteen year old heart because let me TELL YOU when I first got onto this website they were one of the coolest people on here and in all this time... that has not changed.

also we're the only peeps who still hang out and they write good stories and do good art and make me feel good about existing, generally

visc if you're reading this i love you and your oc 

NOW ONTO MY STUFF

Yeah well it's not much but I thought I'd do a quick three minute doodle of Ashleap's seraphim form (no if you don't know what that means you don't have to) because I can't stop tying in my fanfictions into my greater canon. Ashleap and Ashley probably have the most of my original stories meta attached to them, but Red's pretty high up there too. 

gonna cut off my rambling there

Anyhow I spent the better part of the day reading Greek myths and doing math homework (kill me now please) and it's actually almost insane how much they've woven the natural world into their stories. For example, Cronos is time, right? So he eats his kids because everything that time creates, time will eventually destroy.

Forget primitive people, the Ancient Greeks WERE DEEP AS SHIT.
