Fan Art Friday: Spy x Family
From Loid's undercover missions to Anya's hilarious expressions and Yor's moonlighting as an assassin, there’s so much to love about the quirky Forger family! This week, we're celebrating this 'found family' like no other with some fantastic fan art from the community.
A spy… an assassin… this is so exciting! Waku Waku!
- Anya Forger
You don't have to be related by blood to be a family.
You gotta be careful. Because there's someone else back home who'd be heartbroken if anything happened to you. - Loid Forger
Friends are important. Cherish them. - Loid Forger
When you point a blade at someone, you don't get to complain when one is pointed back at you. - Yor Forger

Tutorial: Draw an Arctic Fox! by BeckyKidus, journal
Tutorial: Draw an Arctic Fox!
It's November, and winter is coming - or has come - for most of us. So what better creature to draw than an arctic fox, all poofy in their winter fur? (And even if winter isn't coming your way, who can resist them?)
Because that's what we'll be doing! And if you follow the steps and post your artwork with the hashtag #ArcticFoxTutorial, you'll also get a special badge:
I have drawn this with your good old graphite pencil and some colored pencils, but you can obviously use other traditional and digital media as well Without further ado, let's begin!
Step 1: Draw a circle, and divide it into four parts.
Step 2: Let's get the most important details added, namely the eyes and the nose. The top of the nose should be halfway between the center and the lower edge of the circle. Also remember that arctic foxes, like other foxes, have small noses compared to dogs and wolves!
Step 3: Time to add the muzzle! Each whisker pad is a nosewidth wide, and has a rounded "smiling" shape. I've

A Legend of Snow: Expecto Snowballis! by writeddreams2reality, journal
A Legend of Snow: Expecto Snowballis!
Welcome to CRLiterature!
This December, we’re discovering a desert world filled with magic that has forgotten the wonders of winter in our “Legend of Snow” weekly activities. ❄️ Follow the prompts below to build out your own version of this fantasy universe with a little magic and a lot of fun for your chance to win DA points or badges! 🏅
❄️The Legend of Snow, Part 1: ❄️
The desert is unrelenting as you make your daily march to the only well within hundreds of miles. From more than a mile away, you can already see the snaking lines of people queuing for their daily water allotment, already knowing it is never enough to crush that gnawing sense of dehydration in the pit of your stomach, but it is just enough that you won’t collapse while scavenging for food.
As you make your way down the hard scrabble path from the rocky outcrop you’ve called home for 20 years, a small boulder slides from under your feet, sending you toppling forward and onto your hands and knees. As you recover

Would
Par Lilith de’Lion
If the setting sun could wipe away the shadow that I cast,
Would the world remember that I once lived, or which memory would even last?
Would anyone even bother to cry because I am not there,
Would anyone even take the time, or does anyone even care?
Would the countless hours I threw away amount to anything,
Would those I loved forget my mistakes and pain they often bring?
Would they know how much I loved them or the last thing that I said,
Would they even shed a tear for me the last time my name is read?
Would you light a candle in our window until dawn,
Would you even see the light through all the darkness that I’ve shown?
Would you think of all days gone by the good ones and the bad?
Would you remember the happy times or only feel the sad?
Would you know how much I loved you or how you held my heart,
Would you remember our first kiss and how I cried each time we’d part?
Would you remember our last embrace and how you held me tight,
Would you
