rereading HtN n there’s so much I wanna draw mostly lyctor eyes so here’s the wip of that effort 👁

they say she was pushed out of the airlock but i know what really happened

"You sent me out there to kill a baby and open those doors. Whose baby didn’t matter on my end. Do you know, I gave that thing a nickname, my whole pregnancy? I used to call it Bomb.”

Wake: me!

Don’t wake the Sleeper

Thank you @theriverbeyond for letting me use your cosplay pictures as a reference, and for creating such an awesome Wake cosplay! The moment I saw it, I knew I had to draw it.

But seriously what if my parent conceived me solely so I could be killed as a child to open a locked door and what if your parents killed 200 children so that you could be born to keep it locked forever. What if both of us were war crimes what if our parents saddled us with more pain and guilt and heartbreak than anyone could ever hope to handle from the moment we were born.

And what if we kissed about it.

THE ONLY THING OUR CIVILISATION CAN EVER LEARN FROM YOURS IS THAT WHEN OUR BACKS ARE TO THE WALL AND OUR TOWERS ARE FALLING ALL AROUND US AND WE ARE WATCHING OURSELVES BURN WE RARELY BECOME HEROES.

Mother.

I gave my body and my voice But do you think I had a choice?

My girl Harrow, pacing: the eggs you gave me all died and you lied to me

You know I had to do it to em

once again rotating the fact that pyrrha and g1deon found out about wake's pregnancy and each, individually, immediately assumed it was theirs. which implies one of two things.

A. they were consistently having unprotected sex. gideon the first was having unprotected sex with the head of blood of eden. commander wake was having unprotected sex with a lyctor. pyrrha dve was having unprotected sex in someone else's body. stupid shit all around, guys, truly i expect better from you three.

B. they were in a closed, committed relationship, just wake and the two people in this guy's body, such that it didn't even occur to them that there may be another father. they both trusted implicitly that wake was not having sex with anyone else, at all.

or C. both

and honestly, i can't decide which option has stranger implications regarding their dynamic. what the fuck did those three have going on.

thought about wake in 2000s clothing

imagine ur doing 90 in a 55, ur water just broke, u arent even trying to get to the hospital about it youre trying to get away from your ex man (who is also your girl) who is also the fucking traffic cop trying to arrest you for speeding and also some unrelated stuff (the only reason he hasnt called a full on car chase is because he thinks you're pregnant with his kid) (its not his kid, you specifically picked his boss as your sperm donor to make said boss’s life hell) and you have a pretty good idea about what the last couple hours of commander wake's life was like

you see this bitch running around your dream bubble wyd

two characters having a biological daughter with each other despite having never had sex, being on opposite sides of a war, and really only seeing each other as representations of ideologies they disagree with was one of the choices ever made in tlt. perhaps even the choice ever. an anti-ship of sorts. not even divorced couple energy, not even lovers who hate each other energy, absolutely zero sexual or romantic tension between them. just two people who hate each other and have a child together. while having never fucked each other. beautiful
