anyway to sell you on this fic
here is an illustration for an eventual later chapter where, after visiting Fr. Makary, aka Makary Riddle, one of Voldemort's kids who rebelled against his dad so hard he ended up a man of the cloth, Auror Harry Potter stops to have a cigarette and a chat in the church gardens with the snake that lives there, Shine-Scale, Hunter Of Voles, Best Frog-Grabber, Protector Of Church Man Who Gives Mice.
also here's Ginny, Ron and Hermione
ginny could use another latte (full fat milk please, quidditch practice is getting intense for the holyhead harpies)
ron could use either some beard oil or a shave before he blazes past Fixer-Upper's Chip Gaines into Full Lumberjack
hermione could use a shoulder massage and an eyeglass cleaning wipe if you've got one handy
HERE, HERE'S THE PICTURE I WENT DIVING IN MY ARCHIVES FOR
voldemort and all his got dam kids that end up in this fic
he doesn't raise any of 'em at all, they essentially existed as 'spare parts'
ok he tried with fr. makary a bit but the lad promptly grew up and rebelled hard in the exact opposite direction and WILL, DANGEROUSLY, IMMEDIATELY, invite you in for tea or a cup of hot cocoa and show you genuine christian charity and love (THAT BOY AIN'T RIGHT - voldie probably)
cw for eye contact
and here we go, here's the fanfic's 'cover'
i know once i've done a cover for a fic i'm just like 'whelp that's it, i'm writing it now, i'm doomed, bye everyone, the plot bunny has me'
BIG CW for suicide - empty noose is shown.
very little cw for an obnoxious shade of green i thought was a good idea at the time and my inability to draw short-haired scruffy older auror harry potter without him looking like Jeremy Renner for some got dam reason
@InspectorCaracal he is! but it was a bit frustrating when i was trying to work from daniel radcliffe's face and stepped back and went "......the fuck did you do, drawing brain"
so next time uhhh i'll just look up renner in suits for efficiency? 😂
@wigglytuffitout well I mean Daniel Radcliffe is basically Jeremy Renner with a thinner nose and Elijah Wood's eyes
@InspectorCaracal ...........fuck you're right
*FURIOUSLY WRITES NOTES*
(like for real though, for some reason i struggle to categorize like. what types of facial shape bits people have sometimes. so it helps)
@wigglytuffitout I can only recognize people by their facial shape bits so I am glad to help! :D
@wigglytuffitout well, people's faces
usually I recognize people irl by the way they walk and stuff which doesn't help at all when you're dealing with things like recognizing good actors....
@wigglytuffitout jeremy renner is a good model tbh
