btw if you ever make anything for me EVER ill literally go crazy stupid. like ill go insane . il love you for ever.
I’m signed up for one sad soup and spice girl romance. Please go read The Beast of Hadingley Hill by @squigg-les.
Juliette remembers her nanny’s stories. When she was six or seven years old, her nanny would comb through her curls and tell her about her hometown; the warm breeze, crushing waves and what it’s like to plunge under the saltwater. Little Juliette could not understand how longingly her nanny talked about swimming in the ocean. How there is nothing that saltwater could not solve. It sounded magical but in a good way rather than the trap they are in. Her nanny whispered, “The waves would marry you, my little Jule. It would wrap you in its arms and love you every bit.”
———————————————————————
That was the last time Juliette believed anyone could love her. She quickly learned how to be hated and abhorred. Afterall, Juliette was a bright child, perhaps too bright for her own good. Little Juliette wondered how anyone’s skin would crawl by looking at her when no one looked at her long enough. Glimpses were like daggers and barbs finding their ways under her skin despite of being covered from head to toe. She made sure to cover anything that could be her. She used to go to bed in her veils and gloves hoping she could become her second skin. She’d imagine her life as veils and gloves would be much lovelier, being touched and caressed everyday.
————————————————————-
Once she was considered old enough, a line of suitors started. Juliette could not sleep the night before thinking about meeting her ‘true love’. She tried to imagine him and their first meeting. What would happen? Would he steal her breath away? Would he hold her hands and tell her that he loves her? Would the barrier disappear? Would the barrier disappear and free everyone? Would he free her from everyone who looks at her like an abomination?
Day after her first sitting, Juliette found herself without a lady in waiting. Lying in the middle of the destroyed room, Juliette wanted to be carried out of the palace with all her destroyed furniture. She wanted to be far away from where she is something that needs a royal command to be loved. Barely gazed at, Juliette sat through boys gritting their compliments at her. Her musing the night before was unnecessary. What she should have worried about was how to hold herself in one piece while sitting across from her suitors. She made back to her room because that was the only thing she could do. She didn’t remember exactly but she remembered a woman’s shriek among the sound of her room being destroyed. And Juliette could not have shrieked because last night she wasn’t a girl but a thing that deserved a name; a beast. A thing that deserved hatred.
————————————————————-
Juliette built a routine for her new ladies in waiting and herself. There is no befriending or instructions until Juliette unveils herself. Some left right away, either by themselves or carried out. Some stayed but never too long. None of them deserved Juliette’s attempts to be honest. Still not sure how to communicate her care for others, Juliette’s kindness was overlooked, wasted on the undeserved bunch. Whatever language Juliette spoke with embarrassment, Mallory understood. She understood every syllable and every dialect.
Mallory didn’t just stay but made a new life in the castle. Mallory made it her job to make sure Juliette was taken care of. Yes, it is the lady in waiting’s duty to do so but anyone who saw Mallory with Juliette can tell that that kind of gentleness is not a duty. If anyone witnessed them in private, when the storm rages and rages around Juliette, they would believe that magic is not just in the barrier but inside of it. When Mallory laid Juliette’s head down on her lap, what can it be but magic? What can it be but magic that centers Juliette.
She thinks the whooshing of silence heard from her right ear on Mallory’s lap is the closest thing she will get to the ocean. Her nanny used to make the sounds of waves crashing. Born with the barrier, Juliette never knew what the world can offer. But again, if Mallory can hold the ocean under her skin, what could the world possibly offer Juliette? The very ground under her feet becomes more stable and the sunlight that lays on her skin doesn’t inspire her own horror. Juliette is more eloquent with her love and care. It still comes out in a rush sometimes but she is more confident in voicing her care for Mallory. Juliette is a fast learner and this too, she excels. Juliette wants to be fluent in loving and maybe if she can take Mallory out of the barrier, she can even imagine loving a suitor. Whatever it may take, Juliette would do it with every bit of her for Mallory.
EVERYONE LOOK AT MY GIRLS
Art is always hard to be motivated about, until you have a research paper to write and suddenly everything except art is difficult haha.
This is how that dance should have ended! Cannot believe the audacity of Lucas and the King interrupting our girls!
Anyways, everyone please go read The Beast of Hadingley Hill on Webtoons by @squigg-les! It is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully written (I, like many others, couldn’t put it down).
I binge read the entirety of TBOHH last night and Juliette sits right in the middle of my heart now and I’m gonna swing her around like this
Peak babygirl material
Life is already doing this to her :(

THE DOODLES ARE SO CUTEEEEE
So emphatically would: Juliette from Beast of Hadingley Hill 💚
@squigg-les She's delightful as fuck. I would make her thousands of breakfasts and give her too many books about forests, animals, and obscure regional foods.
I also know a very nice hot spring in Costa Rica she'd like. Well, that anyone who enjoys being self-care-soup would like, but all the same. 💦
I'm re-reading the whole thing on Webtoons for like the 4th time. The characters are precious and infuriating and freakishly lovable.
(🥺 now 😚)
It's beautiful. Please go read it. Quit your job and read it.
hey there!! just wanted to pop in and say i absolutely adore tbohh, its probably one of my favourite webtoons i have ever read<3
going to point out some of my fav things;
- the character designs!! even though i did mistake mallory for esperanza and leo for damien at first, later i started noticing little things that made them distinguishable from each other! juliette's design reminds me of medusa and i like the implications of that (also her monster form is gorgeous, i love how you draw it)
-the relationship between characters are exceptionally well done, i loved seeing sam's and mallory's beef, mallory's compassion and tenderness regarding juliette, and how she stood up to damien and lucas when protecting her. i think you did an amazing job at "showing, not telling"!
- feelings you convey through character expressions. even though your artstyle is pretty simple, i can tell what a certain character is thinking/feeling because i can see that through their body language. i just think that's neat.
- you really got me captivated in that story. i binged it in one day and i'm super interested in how it will play out!
im definitely going to read your other works!! thank u so much for sharing your story, it has really inspired me to tell my own<3
Thank you :)! I usually draw near a mirror so I can make expressions at myself and like. Cartoonify them in order to put complex emotions on the page with only a few lines.
Would you be fine with someone writing fanfiction for TBOHH?
I would be so thrilled I would probably cry
I am Mahmoud's wife. Unfortunately, I wanted to inform you that my husband Mahmoud was injured in the head, which caused a skull fracture that descended onto the nerves of the brain and affected the nerves of speech, hearing, and sight.
Mahmoud's condition is very critical and he must go abroad for treatment. He was injured 3 days ago and underwent surgery to clean his head. The doctors are telling us that he needs to undergo a major operation to remove the shrapnel or fix it to the skull bone so that no nerves in the brain are cut off.
Please donate and share this post widely so that we can get my husband out and receive treatment abroad.
I just discovered TBOHH yesterday and have already caught up on the entire series. Absolutely obsessed with your girls!✨
I was curious if you sold merch of the series, like stickers or something? I think the series is incredible and I’d love to see it just skyrocket in popularity (and also cover all of my university supplies in TBOHH stickers and charms).
Anywho, I’m excited for Saturday’s update! Thank you for all the astounding work you do, hun!🌸
I don’t currently sell merch but I probably should if there’s demand for it, lol! I’ll get back to you folks on that. So happy you’re enjoying the series!

i just read TBOHH and ooo boy OH BOY!!! i love everyone! I will do fanart about it, i think.
Oh I’m so glad!!! Thank youuu

Very often I see Black Palestinians relegated to a hypothetical or used for rhetorical arguments. They are real human beings, a real community within our larger Palestinian community. They deserve respect, recognition, and assistance.
Please help Tala and her family! They still have not reached their goal of $30,000 to evacuate from Gaza; they have currently raised $19,146/$30,000. Every donation counts so please don't become discouraged - every dollar counts no matter how little!!! With your help, we can help Tala and her family to reach safety!!
🌟 This campaign has been vetted - this fundraiser has been promoted by PYM Dallas and is supporting the family of a TX community member!!
Please donate and share widely!!!

OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i've been reading lorena immaculate by @squigg-les on webtoon and by GOD i adore it so much. let's go funky little lesbians with their own respective traumas
Hey shout out to every custodial/sanitation worker taking out and cleaning up literal hot garbage so that the rest of us can go about our summer days like it doesn’t exist
Hey, I was wondering if anyone has come to you about issues reading the new chapters of hadingley hill? Whenever I try to read them the app won’t load the ad :/ not sure if it’s an issue on my end or if it’s something else, so I thought I’d ask cause I really want to read the new chapters :D
Thanks!
That’s been an issue in the past, sorry man :( the ads do expire after 2 weeks, so you will get the new chapters eventually. Webtoon’s super janky sometimes, and if I wasn’t in a tight spot financially I really wouldn’t be bothering with the video ads program.
Hello!!! Didn't realise I would find the author's ACC when I looked for tbohh fan content lol
ANYWAY I adore your webtoon so much, it's one of my favourite webtoons I've ever read. Juli's design is so fricking pretty and I am in love with her <3 everyone else too, love how you draw people and how interesting and real they all look.
Your art style in general too, the line art style is so so so pretty, the backgrounds are beautiful the outfits are gorgeous all the lightning is simple but effective- I just adore the whole thing.
Thanks for making this thing of beauty lol👍
Thank you so much :)!! It definitely helped to do a lot of figure drawing off models before ni started the comic, it really helps you get a sense of how people’s bodies look and move in space
hi I love your comic!!!!!!! I binged it all in a day and then binged it AGAIN the next day and noticed so many little details the second time around 👀. I also love the Magnus archives and the locked tomb so in retrospect it's no surprise that I love your comic! some thing you might enjoy, just based on the other things we both like: malevolent podcast, and signalis the video game ✨ thanks for making TBOHH, I'm so excited to see where the story goes!!!
I’ve been meaning to get into both of those! I’m glad you’re enjoying tbohh :)
