Obscure Fan Art Time!
from The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin! which Im reading in a book club started by the wonderful @lasjogren <33
Anyways, two of the main characters that i love the most, Alabaster (the dude) and Syenite (the girl). drawing things from books is so weird because like, yeah theres some basic descriptions and stuff, but you kinda get to make a lot of it up

Alabaster Madonna
He has “skin so black it’s almost blue”, his hair is “dense, tight-curled stuff, the kind of hair that needs to be shaped if it’s to look stylish”, and he is “whipcord thin”.
The Ten-ringed orogene, Alabaster, and son, Corundum, from the Broken Earth series by N.K. Jemisin.

The Fifth Season
“It’s a curse, not a gift.” Syenite closes her eyes. But she doesn’t push away the bundle.
“It’s a gift if it makes us better. It’s a curse if we let it destroy us. You decide that—not the instructors, or the Guardians, or anyone else.” There’s another shift, and the bed moves a little as Alabaster leans on it. A moment later she feels his lips on her brow, dry and approving. Then he settles back down on the floor beside the bed, and says nothing more.
“I thought I saw a Guardian,” she says after a while. Very softly. “At Allia.”
Alabaster doesn’t reply for a moment. She’s decided that he won’t, when he says, “I will tear the whole world apart if they ever hurt us again.”

The Broken Earth
Some worlds are built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares. Don’t lament when those worlds fall. Rage that they were built doomed in the first place.

“This is what you must remember: the ending of one story is just the beginning of another. This has happened before, after all. People die. Old orders pass. New societies are born. When we say “the world has ended,” it’s usually a lie, because the planet is just fine. But this is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. For the last time.”

“She’s not quite as tall as Sanzeds like their women - shorter than you - but she’s wearing a thick brown fur vest that hangs to her ankles. The vest sort of makes her look like a small, yet fashionable, bear.”
Ykka from The Fifth Season/The Broken Earth, AGAIN.

I thought I was done for today, but then I hit play on the audiobook and there was a Nassun chapter and I noticed my little bottle of ultramarine ink….. Again, from The Broken Earth by N. K. Jemisin.

More fanart of The Broken Earth. I’ll have to work a bit more on Essun, she doesn’t feel quite right yet. And I am very much in love with Ykka, can you tell?

Tonkee from N. K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth. PLEASE read these books, they are AMAZING! I have never been as stressed out about a book as I was with the ending of book 2.

Drew Ykka from The Broken Earth (by NK Jemisin) yesterday! It’s such a good book series, I highly recommend it. Most of the main characters are WoC and there are so many amazing queer characters too!
