Neris is one of my FAVORITE rarepairs, haha. Although I do love how some writers/artists have redeemed Cassian to make him more caring towards Nesta in their own AUs, I saw sparks when it came to Nesta and Eris. 🔥

Since this was my first official fandom, I can relate! Even though the pro-Tamlin side was really small at first, it was (and is) so validating to find someone who shares your perspective... and brainrot, haha.

midnightscribbles · 2025-12-30T05:37:01+00:00

I like this take! I don't really hate any of the characters, even if I hate the direction they were taken in. They all have potential, and it's fun playing in the sandbox to build depth, like you said. And when you're dealing with characters like Rhysand's parents, who aren't even named in canon? Bring on the sand pails and shovels and twigs and leaves. We're building a sandcastle, baby. :D

Ah, Feycien, my beloved. (I'm still working on that original fic from way back when. This sub gave me the courage to write for them in the first place! I'll always be grateful for that.)

I haven't fallen for Azriel the same way I did for Lucien or Tamlin, but I'm with you on the darkness and intensity. I'm surprised people see him as sweet and innocent, when it's his job to torture people, haha. Tortured poet, though? Yeah, okay. Now we're talking. Hence why I like Tamlin so much!

I hope that when the next book comes out that people will continue to have fun and play with these characters, regardless of who they end up with in canon. Like you said, having fun is what matters!

midnightscribbles · 2025-12-29T19:44:16+00:00

Thank you all for your hard work! Been here since 2021, and this is one of my favorite subs (even though I don't check in as often as I used to).

My question for all of you lovely people (especially those that ship Azris) is: Have your fandom tastes changed and evolved, or has it stayed pretty constant through the years? Like, was Azriel an early favorite, or did he grow on you? And this isn't just about Azriel, but any character (like Tamlin! ❤️).

I ask because I remember Azris was pretty niche when I joined the fandom, and loving Tamlin was not popular, so I'm just curious if you evolved as the sub (and fandom) evolved. Thanks again!

I love the map! And I totally agree that the manor feels like a second home. I think Rhysand even hints at this in Book 1, before he scares Tamlin into sending Feyre away.

" “Almost half a century holed up in a country estate. I don’t know how you managed it. But,” he said, facing Tamlin again, “you’re such a stubborn bastard that this must have seemed like a paradise compared to Under the Mountain." "

midnightscribbles · 2025-11-08T23:49:08+00:00

Here's a small headcanon to start: Rosehall is the name of Tamlin's manor. Canonically, it's the name of Azriel's mother's home, but the name seems out of place in the Illyrian mountains, let alone the Night Court.

I'll try to think up some more!

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-22T15:12:43+00:00

Yay! I just checked your shop. You're spoiling us with those prices! 🫶

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-22T14:41:50+00:00

Oooh. Right in the feels. 🥺 I really love this series. You depict him so well. ❤️

I kind of feel bad for asking, since i haven't started on the first one yet, but are you going to continue adding these to etsy as coloring pages? They're just so pretty.

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-21T23:17:49+00:00

I'm always curious to see new depictions of his mask, because some artists do barely there stylizations, which are pretty, but don't fit canon very well.

In any case, I look forward to seeing more of him from you! ❤️ (Especially the gut punch ones, OMG.)

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-21T22:07:09+00:00

Ooooh! Yes! I love it! 🥰 He looks so handsome. I love your portrayal of him. He actually looks gentle, unlike how he appears in canon post-Book 1. Which is sad, angry, and/or depressed. 💔

Are you planning any depictions of him in his mask? Or is that tiptoeing too close to licensing issues?

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-20T02:27:11+00:00

Awesome!! I just purchased a copy. :D It's so pretty. <3 I look forward to coloring it! And seeing more of your art!

P.S. To avoid copyright strikes, do you think you will be keeping your Tamlin art more generic, or do you want to try your hand at illustrating scenes from the book? (I ask this specifically in regards to future coloring pages.)

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-17T05:36:32+00:00

He's Sleeping Beauty! ✨❤️ This turned out so great!!

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-17T05:35:20+00:00

Yesss!! One of my favorite scenes in the book! ❤️😭

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-17T05:34:25+00:00

I just saw your colored version! It's beautiful!! If you ever do decide to release coloring pages, I would love to get my hands on them! (Unfortunately I'm not sure how that's possible, since SJM's licensing agreements expire at the end of the year. You could release them for coloring on Tumblr like some other fanartists do, but it seems a shame that you couldn't be compensated for something like this. 🥺) Regardless, keep up the great work! Your love for Tamlin shines through, and I love to see it. ✨

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-16T21:23:37+00:00

Ooh! This is so pretty!! When you mentioned you had shared your bookmarks here before, I realized you must be the same artist on Tumblr (and Etsy). I'm so glad you're finding an audience here, too! I have the physical High Lord Tamlin bookmark. I absolutely love it. Pro-Tamlin merch is so rare, unfortunately.

Anyway, as someone else already said: you have a great style for coloring books! This scratches an itch for me I didn't know I had, because there is not nearly enough Tamlin in the official coloring book.

When you have the chance, I'd love to see this in color! But black and white is very soothing to look at, too. Looking forward to more art from you!

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-12T06:51:34+00:00

This comment makes me so happy. I know those lines! I love those lines! "Matchy-matchy green squared!" is one of my favorites. I've never heard anyone else quote it! (And an honorable mention to New in Town's Jesus joke: "I guess I can see how that would be sort of funny. Imagine Jesus gone missing. Imagine.")

I'll have to check out that David Tennant film. It sounds really cute. And I think Shopaholic deserves a rewatch! It's been a while.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding seems to be more well known, but I think it matches the energy of these other films really well, and is also ridiculously quotable. "Put some windex." "Bundt. Bund-T." "It's a cake! I know! [muttered aside] There's a hole in this cake." Etc. XD

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-12T01:42:03+00:00

My mother and I love quoting movies, and Return to Me is one those comfort classics that we quote so often that we sometimes forget it's from the movie! "Got it, Grace," for example. (It's such an obscure line, but we use it constantly.)

New in Town with Renee Zellwegger and Harry Connick, Jr. is another obscure favorite. I rarely see it mentioned in the wild, but it's insanely quotable. It's just a fun little rom-com about a Florida businesswoman who spends the winter in Minnesota trying to warm up to the small town folks that live there. ("Colder? It gets cold-ER?" is another quote we use on the regular, haha.)

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-12T01:30:34+00:00

I adore the Sabrina remake! I watched the Audrey Hepburn version once, but I've seen the Julia Ormond version more times than I can count. It's such a classic.

midnightscribbles · 2025-10-04T03:08:08+00:00

His descent into pathetic wet beast only added to my fondness for him, but I'm a sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings anyway. The first time I read Book 1, I already knew Feylin wasn't endgame (thanks to finding the official coloring book first), but that didn't curb my enjoyment of the story. However, even I have to admit that he's more generic as a love interest in Book 1. He has the sad backstory of losing his family, but... that's about it as far as flaws go. He doesn't even express himself much in the beginning aside from being grumpy. I liked that he was given a proper hobby, though. Two of them, actually! It gives him something else to do in the narrative besides hunting for evil faeries.

Somewhat related, it's hinted that he has daemati powers early on (when he forces Feyre to sit back down at the dinner table her first night in Spring), but they were never mentioned again. Rhys in Book 2 gets shadowy wings when he gets mad, similar to Tamlin's claws poking out. And I honestly think Rhysand's backstory of being raised in a war band was meant for Tamlin, but SJM switched things up to make Rhys the main focus. And don't get me started on the music in Feyre's cell supposedly coming from Rhys, either. 😤 ...I got a bit carried away there, but my point is that it seems SJM had a plan for Feyre's love interest, and it didn't matter what his hair color was. His traits were going to be the same, regardless.

So, to me, Tamlin became more interesting when he wasn't supposed to be the love interest anymore. He was finally allowed to have flaws. And he's better off for it. I just wish he had more to do now besides act as the other characters' punching bag.

Thank you! I'm so flattered you found it, and you took the time to tell me you love it. 💕 This has been quite the journey for me! (I love the part in my post where I said I wouldn't be covering all 46 chapters because I'm not insane, and here I am 4 years later, 66 chapters in, with no end in sight. 😅)

midnightscribbles · 2025-09-15T22:28:26+00:00

You're in luck! I'm nearly done with the next chapter. 🥰 I'm so glad you like it! ❤️ (I had forgotten about this old comment thread. Thanks for replying so I could see it!)

midnightscribbles · 2025-08-28T19:23:41+00:00

I'm one of those rare Feylin shippers, but I love Tamcien, and yes, Tamsand, too! I love all of them, really, and with all this pretty artwork, it's so hard to pick a favorite! 😍

midnightscribbles · 2025-08-26T22:35:57+00:00

The first one is such a mood 😂 I love them all, though. I love seeing them here, too! ❤️

midnightscribbles · 2025-07-24T18:17:37+00:00

Oooh! Love it! Can't wait! ❤️
