Hope Is A Skill

hope is a skill

I guess I just have to learn how to draw!! ha. haha. hah.

what it feels like to be in a small fandom with little to no fanart or fanfiction

Bronte Mettlestone/Alejandro the ex-pirate is my Kingdoms and Empires OTP, but I also really love Imogen and Oscar. They are all just kids rn but I love imagining them all grown up and supporting each other!

dreams of fanart

so. I can’t really draw. I want to learn, but that isn’t relevant to this complaint. Basically I just desperately wish I could draw pictures of all of these beautiful scenes and people but I know I would be disappointed if I tried? I just want to draw fanart of Kingdoms and Empires by Jaclyn Moriarty

Anyways I’m working on digitally coloring an illustration in the first book. Just kinda teaching myself, ig? It’s fun. Who knows when I’ll be satisfied with it though! Lol

Guide to the thread magic of the Kingdoms and Empires series by Jaclyn Moriarty

Colors of thread: | Name of thread/magic:

red and black | shadow thread/magic, dark magic

green and gold | binding thread, spellbinding

blue and silver | bright thread/magic, true magic

It’s pretty cool that magic works without the threads now. Kinda like how money used to have actual worth when it was gold coins but now we trust paper to certify wealth or whatever money is?

Bronte says that mages somehow learned how to do the spells without the actual thread—though they can see the thread in their minds!

I also think the thread itself only has powers if a mage with matching speciality uses it. Like a True Mage could never use Shadow Thread to do any kind of magic, because shadow thread can only do shadow magic and only if a Shadow Mage is using it.
