Frigga hoped her love understood how entirely she was loved, that she would never have to be lonely again, and that she would always be Frigga’s first and only choice. Frigga pulled back and whispered, “I have something for you.” Razi’s eyes flickered to the hand that was still clasped around the ring and then back up. “You’ve been hidin’ somethin’ since you got ‘ere,” she observed with a witty smirk.

The witch blushed, her stomach suddenly whirling with nerves. “I know you said you don’t care about marriage but I thought, if we’re going to run, I should give you this before we do. It was my father’s.” She opened her palm to display the wedding band. “I’d like to marry you, if you don’t mind.”

If I'm being honest, this drawing has been the cause of every problem in my entire life for the last 2 weeks. I have done, re-done, and then re-re-done it so many times because FRIGGA'S FRIGGIN FACE didn't want to co-operate. I got it to a place I'm okay with, but I think I'll hate it in approximately 3 months. Relatable. Anyway, here it is for now: the proposal! My lovely lesbians being in love. Everyone applaud and then go read Blood and Thorns to find out what's going on✨

Juno, you're literally the sweetest for this ask. Thank you!!

I have 4 main characters in Blood and Thorns, and they're all my children and I don't have a favourite (def. lying).

(Left to right: Rosalind, Marcus, Razi, and Frigga - chapter 13 of Blood and Thorns)

Frigga Thorneheart is the main character of the first book, and she's just the sweetest, femmyist lil thing. Physically little, she's like 5'2" lol. And she's supposed to inherit leadership of her coven, but she really doesn't want to. She wants to frolic in the grass and make flower crowns and do lesbian things! She's a prodigy and studied Illusion magic when she was away at school (which is thought of as very complicated and niche in this universe because of how it interacts with the brain), but she also picked up a herbalism hobby, surprise surprise. Unfortunatly, she's a people-pleaser, so she has a really hard time voicing her needs to anyone, something I have never ever ever had an issue with myself. Wouldn't know anything about that, nope. 😬

Razi Wood is the other main character and Frigga's love interest. So butch, so hot, makes incredible bread. She's non-magical servant, so Frigga's falling in love with her is sort of a bad idea. But Razi's a charmer, she's got the rizz (as the kids say apparently?), and she hates the bourgeoisie which is probably the hottest thing about her honestly. She's independent and lives by herself in one of the servants' quarters at Thorneheart Manor because her father passed a few years ago, but she's also guarding a broken heart and using that independence as a shield. Let's just say: trust issues, but we see some character development in the first book when she makes her decision. Razi is probably the best point of view to write from because she really is no-nonsense and doesn't put up with rich-people's bullshit, an attitude I admire and hope to exemplify one day.

Marcus Magnus-Monroe is the non-magical son of the coven's benefactor and is the person Frigga gets forced into an arranged marriage with. He doesn't know that, and if he did, he'd immediately call things off. He started out as an uncomplicated guy, and he's the sort of character you don't see very often because he had a wonderful childhood growing up, his parents were both great people and treated him so well, and he doesn't have any real trauma from before the age of like... 20? He's thought of by his social circle as a bit of an airhead/bimbo, and he got that reputation because of the way he behaved from the age of 20-23 (party boy, chronic man-hopping, here for a good time), but after his mother's passing at 23, he calmed down (after being smashed for a year) and got into the Family businesses. He's just a sweetie, the truest incarnation of the Golden Retriever Bisexual Boy there is, and he's so much fun to write.

Rosalind Bloodswell was the last character to be created for Blood and Thorns, and their creation fundamentally changed the story because they quickly became way too interesting for their own good. They were originally going to be a man, but I ended up putting them in the NB category for a lot of reasons. They're the Heir to Frigga's Family's Enemy Family, the Bloodswells which is a clan of necromancers. The family isn't popular, but not because of the death magic. They're thought of as conspiracy theorists, which Rosalind has done their best to distance themself from. They're the quiet, withdrawn type, the dark horse of the story, but behind the prickliness and the concrete walls they've constructed to keep everyone out, Rosalind is a sappy romantic that has been in love with a certain Golden Somebody for years. Rosalind is the reason Blood and Thorns has become a series rather than a one-off book, and out of my shorts, 90% of them feature Rosalind in some way.

This group of characters occupies approximately 90% of my brain's ram. A lot of that has to do with the fact that they embody two of my favourite relationship tropes (femme/butch and sun/moon), but I think it's such a fascinating group of opposites that I can't help coming back to them over and over! I just finished the second draft of Blood and Thorns: Restructure, which centers on Rosalind and Marcus the way that the original one focused on Frigga and Razi, so after I take a little break, I'm going to write the first draft of the third one: Blood and Thorns: Otherworld - which will feature the four of them equally (I hope). I'm excited to explore different aspects of these characters (Rosalind alone, Frigga when she was at school) as well as dynamics between characters that I've barely been able to glimpse at (Razi, the anti-bourgeoisie commoner, will have to team up with Marcus, one of the richest men in all of Ozelea (the country), and Frigga's friendship with someone we know very little about from school).

Thanks for giving me an excuse to gush about my kids! I hope you enjoyed <3

Drawing of a character from @dreaming-for-an-escape fix Blood and Thorn

Another portrait of my OC Rosalind from my book Blood and Thorns. I was finishing up a writing project so I got a bit side-tracked from my drawing. This was to get back into the process after the first drawing I attempted didn't go well. I find that when I end my drawing sessions on a bad note, like I'm not happy with something or it's been frustrating, it takes me a lot longer to get back to my drawing table. When that happens, I'll just draw something for me like my OCs because otherwise there's a sense that it has to look a specific way where as with my characters, I make those decisions. It's where I find my joy.

Also this gives me all sorts of gendery joy - Love seeing them happy and confident. ^^

Okay, so...I did a thing. Again. @dreaming-for-an-escape

Is it perfect? No. 

But did I have the time of my life editing this? Fuck yeah. 

She asks that I tell you to remember her. You won't.

Razi finally had a moment to evaluate the destruction Frigga had brought upon herself. Several clumps of hair had come loose by now and the woman’s face was scratched and bleeding in places. Her eyes stared blankly at the wall she faced and her expression was vacant like her soul had left her body behind. Looking over the woman’s torso and arms, Razi noticed something new on Frigga’s right arm; she’d thought they were scratches, and there were scratches and bite marks all over both arms, but something was imprinted on her skin like a tattoo. White lines formed a brand, one Razi had never seen before, and there were several small symbols, all of which was enclosed in a circle. It was magical, she knew that for sure, but that was where Razi’s arcane knowledge ended. Whatever it was, it hadn’t been there a week ago. Had Frigga come across some bad magic? (Blood and Thorns, Chapter 10)

It has occurred to me that I haven't been clear about what I'm doing on this dang dear webbed site! So if you're seeing this and are COMPLETELY lost, I don't blame you! Fear not! I'll clarify here and I'll also be making a more comprehensive post about it so if you'd like to see who these two characters are and why someone has thrown a fit in her bedroom, follow me as I build a new world for you to explore

Tyrell ranking from who likes Robb the most to the least xD

Mace Tyrell

Alerie Tyrell

Garlan Tyrell

Olenna Tyrell

Margaery Tyrell

Willas Tyrell

Loras Tyrell

1-3

They really like Robb and think he's a perfect match for someone as gentle and kindhearted as Maeve.

4-6

I consider this as neutral ground. They like how Robb is with Maeve but they still think she's the important one of the two and would chose her over him in a heartbeat xD

7

Loras just dislikes Robb for no reason other than he's taking his sister away from him LMAO.

New Blood and Thorns Short Posted to World Anvil!

A brand new short has been published for tiers "Heir Apparent", "Heir", and "Head of Household" over on World Anvil featuring Sapphire Thorneheart and Victoria Bloodswell! If you'd like to read its early release, head over the member page on my Ko-fi and select a tier that works for you. If not, you can follow me here and I'll post when the short goes public. Thanks for your support!

Sneaky Peeky:

Sapphire scoffed. “Why are you so smug? You’re in here, just like me.” “Which I’m shocked by. They actually let Lady Sapphire Thorneheart, saint of Honeyshore, sit in discomfort? Your crime must have been deplorable for such a thing to be allowed.” She slapped her book closed, threw it on the bed, stood, and took the three steps to the bars of her cage. “Would you like to tell the story, Sapphire?” she asked as a thinly-veiled threat. “I’d rather not,” Sapphire droned as she looked back to the fascinating bricks of her cell wall. “I’m sure you’ve read all about it in the tabloids.”

and stand up in my holy terrain

It was a full ten minutes before she was finally capable of speaking a single word and Razi hadn’t offered an explanation or anything. Frigga let go of Razi’s arm to walk through a narrow walkway and touched the nearby iron bench looking away from the other woman. “I don't understand,” she said flabbergasted. “You deserve something for your birthday you actually enjoy,” Razi answered with no hint of irony or teasing that Frigga could ascertain. Frigga wrapped her arms around herself. All that work for such a silly reason? For Frigga’s enjoyment? “How…How did you do this? How did you even get permission?”

(Blood and Thorns, Chapter 3)

Happy Pride everyone! Here are my lesbian lovers hidden in the garden!

I've been taking a class by DjamilaKnopf on Schoolism, and I've learned so much. I love her work and her style, so obviously I wanted to take her class. Schoolism is a bit on the expensive side (almost 50$ a month canadian), but it's an investment. Like I said, I've learned a lot and I'm going to re-watch the course to really let it sink in (I have to pause the video every thirty seconds for note-taking because I'm a nerd).
