artbythorod | i draw and write sometimes | my art and obsessions

Welcome to my blog! 🤍

I’m a self-taught artist and passionate hobbyist with a deep love for creating digital fanart - currently focusing on The Wheel of Time, especially Moiraine Damodred x Siuan Sanche.

You can check out my work under my art-tag #artbythorod on Tumblr or find me on Instagram under @artbythorod. If you‘re interested, you can purchase my art prints on INPRNT or RedBubble. I also occasionally write fanfiction, which you can read on AO3 under @thatordinaryoddity. All links below.

Thank you for supporting my creative journey! I’m so grateful for this fandom space and thrilled to share my art with you.

Chapter 28 is going to hit even harder after 3x05 🫠

Little teaser:

She told herself it was nothing. That ache in her ribs, the scratch in her throat; it was the bullet wound, still grumbling weeks later. It had to be. That bastard in Strawberry had aimed to kill, and near succeeded. One shot to the gut and a near-death scrape had to come with lasting consequences - that was just common sense. But that hadn’t satisfied Moiraine, who’d stared her down like she could see straight through the excuses and the grit.

What really affected me with Egwene's dreamwalking is that this is a woman who has lost a bit of herself and her connection to others due to trauma. She uses Tel'aran'rhiod to reach out to her loved ones, whether they are physically or emotionally cut off from her. They cannot see or hear her though, so Egwene is haunting them, content in seeing them at peace again. In turn, we see through the characters' dream that sleep is the space where we can find again those we lost, those who are far away from us, those we will lose, even those we can never be.

Sleep becomes the last refuge from grief. Unlike memories it is a world in its own right where the people we lost persist and where we can meet them.

And that might be one of the truest, kindest depictions of grief I've seen recently.

only the finest culinary experiences for my followers

is astounds me that each image seemed like the worst thing ever, but then the next image would top that, and now we have ascended to Lovecraftian levels of bad and I fear for the fabric of sanity and reality it may get worse the more this post grows. 

Please keep adding to this post.

wheel of time is the gay fantasy show everyone has been waiting for so why aren’t all of you watching it!!!!why eat scraps (one queer character, non canon ships) when you can dine like kings (multiple canon queer couples, polyamory, homophobia not existing in universe, gay showrunner dedicated to representation, etc). take my hand. walk with me
