Hello! And welcome to the penultimate drawing of the 25 Days of!

OMG, I utterly adore this. Minerva/Wilhelmina was the pairing I used in the first HP fic I ever wrote, and I have been totally sold on it ever since.

You capture so much of what I love about this pairing, especially that super-charged butch/femme dynamic (which is completely canon; JKR had to know what she was doing). I'm in love with your butch!Wilhelmina here, with her boots and her MUSCLES and her overalls and her wand pouch and her pockets. And Minerva with her hair down and her femme-y bodice. . .just scorching.

Wow. Thank you. What a treat.

When my partner's son was 12, I commissioned him to draw a picture of Wilhelmina to illustrate a fic I wrote for a friend. Here's his version of her (I read him the canon description):

THAT IS A FANTASTIC DRAWING! I love the simplicity of the penwork and her big, beautiful, expressive eyes! Talented kiddo! Does he still do art? ❤️👀

[kellychambliss]

Yeah, he did an art minor in college (with a history major). He works now as a freelance graphic designer and makes little animated cartoons for fun. I think he's excellent, of course, but then I'm a bit biased!

[mywitch]

Oh that's excellent! There can never be too many creative people out there in the world!

I am so happy you like this! I was thinking of the WGP/MM fic from Hoggywarty and this all just came together really easily. It was fun to draw, and as you can see by my icon, I am rather fond of it myself :D It's just so satisfying when what you see in your head shows up on the page! (I'm sure you can relate!)

And thank you for alllll the recs on my work over the holidays and beyond. You are so kind to do that and I really appreciate it! ✨💜✨
