just got to THAT part of tower of dawn. i mean i knew she was a bitch straight from hell but I didn’t mean it LITERALLY. LIKE WHAT??? free my boys fenrys gavriel and lorcan!!
I’m here with a Throne of Glass commission! One of my absolute favorite characters in the series is Yrene. I love how she’s strong in not just magic, but also in her determination and resolve to help those around her. She has her own strength, that isn’t just measured in her powers, or the ability to fight someone, but in her kindness and courage. Every reread I do of the series, Tower of Dawn just gets better and better and I fall more in love with Yrene and her journey. I also absolutely love how she was the one to stop Erawan at the end of Kingdom of Ash. Yrene never falters to help those around her, and I think that’s a very respectable and admirable trait to have. She is definitely one of the most underrated Throne of Glass characters! @stela_draws did the most beautiful and magnificent job of bringing our lovely Yrene to life!

Some TOG hot takes now that I’ve finished the series:
1) Aedion and Chaol are my favorite male characters
2) top 3 ships are Chaol x Yrene, Nesryn x Sartaq, and Elide x Lorcan
3) The Southern Continent was infinitely more interesting than any other setting, and it’s a damn shame we only got 1 book dedicated to it/featuring it.
4) Tower of Dawn fucking rocks what is wrong with y’all
Happy Holidays! Here is my special holiday story for @hlizr50! I was so stoked to write this because, like my bestie, I believe Nestaq is criminally underrated as a ToG couple, and it's been so fun exploring their dynamic and relationship post-KOA.
Join Nesryn and Sartaq as they embark on a heartfelt journey to create a holiday like no other—a holiday that whispers of joy, tradition, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
Please note, that the story will be 5-6 chapters. The first two chapters are posted and the rest will be posted throughout next week. But, due to holiday obligations, there's no promise of a schedule.
You can read the first two chapters on Ao3:
does anyone else just think about asterin and how she’s finally with her hunter and their witchling? because I do more that my mental health can take soemtimes
So I am finally reading the throne of glass series and I’m currently tandem reading Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. I’ve been restraining myself from posting about it because I really don’t want any spoilers but I just have to say one thing:
They need to leave King Dorian Havillard alone…..
I’ve got to the part in EoS where Manon is a “prisoner” on their ship and Dorian went to see her one night. (Also that scene🥵) The next day Dorian’s like “we should let her out some” or something along those lines. And the way Aelin immediately shuts him down….infuriates me. Like he literally has to remind her that he’s just as much king as she is queen just for her to think of him as an equal. Also it pissed me off how everyone is so poised to defend Aelin (given they are her court) and yet no one (except Chaol in the southern continent) is there to defend Dorian. Like where is Dorian’s court?????
I just really felt the pain for Dorian in the moment cause it was almost like he couldn’t say a word without Rowan or Aedion or even like Fenrys at this point acting all defensive. Like why is Aelin’s word so sacred? Dorian’s even older than her and has been trained to be a king his whole life. I just really hated that they seemed to look down on Dorian and his opinion AND that it was like by the grace of god (being Aelin) that they even heard him out??? Like he hasn’t done anything to deserve that disrespect. If anything, he’s more good and pure than the rest of them and they’re looking down on him for it????
That’s my only rant I want to say before I’ve finished the whole series.
I saw your hanged man tarot card drawing, I thought you should do The Lovers card for Chaol x Yrene. Not sure if you're still doing them, but I loved the Aelin card and I would love to see more!
Unpopular opinion:
I loved Tower of Dawn, and Chaol’s character arc!
Sorry this took me so long! I’ve been in the worst art slump ever, but thank you so much for the request!
I’m still taking suggestions for whitch SJM characters/scenes I should do tarot cards for! It just might take a while 😅
Their relationship was so wholesome. Sartaq is exactly the kind of male character I like to write, kind, earnest, not afraid to have his feelings but also respectful.
