FROZEN

Death of Zargothrax

O.w.

Another one, right now it belongs to oir mighty wizard. As we know, je was captured manny times into the tomb of Frozen liquid ice. But what if.... He actually died there...?

it makes me really insane that gideon doesn’t believe harrow could ever love her. insane. like i get it i get that the only way she knows how to be loved is to be objectified and useful and turned into a weapon and harrow has never treated her well, the ninth has never treated her like a human and she’s an animal in a spiked cage but then to get harrow’s perspective and witnessing the last thread of what was holding her together snap because she lost gideon. gideon having been so assured of her worthlessness not believing that harrowhark ‘you are my only friend. i am undone without you. gideon. gideon. i cannot do this. i cannot conceive of a universe without you. if i should forget you let my right hand also be forgotten.’ gideon’s-name-was-the-last-thing-her-body-said-before-death-even-when-her-mind-couldnt-process-it nonagesimus feels even slightly attached to her. it makes me feel like tearing my hair out actually

Setting concern for Harrow aside, Gideon and Camilla barrelling off a cliff into the ocean in a bone canoe is such a funny image

thinking about harrowhark hallucinated alecto’s frozen corpse sleeping beside her

@magnvsmaximvs' tags: #wait OP I need to know everything about the dmbj AU NOWWWWWWW

TECHNICALLY. there are two DMBJ AUs. there's a modern AU of the AU because I think Sulla should be allowed to wear sunglasses, but the Ancient Rome one can be summed up as: Crassus, Pompey, and Caesar fuck around and find out that there's Another Rome underneath the Current Rome. there are coffins! coffins that should definitely be left untouched. unfortunately, Cato is here also. he's going to open the hell out of those coffins and it's going to be a Reunion the Sound of Providence South Sea King's Tomb situation with the Things Inside The Coffins

there's a scene where Crassus is prying open a door and Pompey is like. hey man. did you notice that the shadows here are acting kind of weird. maybe don't do that. and Crassus replies with, 'you're a big strong man with a sword, you'll be fine,' and he's being sarcastic, but I, the writer, had to pause for a minute over that line.

Meanwhile Marcille's succubus, iirc, was from the cover of one of her romance novels. That tracks based on her being hung up on other people getting older and leaving her behind. A fictional character will never get any older. A fictional character will never leave you behind. They're safe in a way that real people aren't.

okay so for the next tarot card, the High Priestess, i chose the figure of The Body - specifically Harrow's obsessive characterization and adoration of her. The High Priestess in the Arcana tarot "guards the threshold between the physical and spiritual planes," which in my interpretation can be seen in the way Harrow turns to The Body for guidance while she grapples with reality and the River in HTN. The High Priestess is the divine feminine, which I don't necessarily think is reflective of Alecto, but of Harrow's idealized version of The Body and her devout worship. pulling the High Priestess in a reading can signify the importance of prioritizing your intuition and subconscious mind, themes that are obviously very prominent in HTN. while drawing this card i also started to think about how in christianity, there is the holy trinity: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. something about Alecto's series of personalities (The Body, Nona, Alecto) is reflective of this trichotomy and i just thought that was interesting. do i have any grand plot analysis about this thought? no. but that is okay

i have to apologize for how long it took me to crank this one out; i started to get frustrated with the rendering of all the background portions and i was also depressed because of my job (which I quit!) so it took me awhile to finish. i finally just forced myself to finish it though and i'm really happy with the result! that being said, for my next card i'm going to try a new lineart technique, and i'm excited to see how that goes, so stay tuned!

edit: i realized i left some lineart in my drawing over the hair that was meant to be erased...had to fix that and also i'm posting the print version rather than the card version :)

so anyway where's my tlt nonary game au

When I saw her face I decided I wanted to live.

Hans: Why was I born so attractive?

Elsa: Because everyone would have throttled you within the first five minutes otherwise.

i think i’m sooo funny

i will fool the shepherds. i will know their greatest fear. i will know your greatest fear. wake up joseph. wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up

im so obsessed with the concept of alecto starting out as the barbie doll she was forced to be but over the course of the long period of time, she’s slowly morphed into something more monstrous and cold and frightening, something that truly embodies the emotional turmoil that’s been forced upon her. true feelings coming through in the form of altering her appearance. I also just want her to be a tall monstrous woman. just for fun
