"(...) Moreover, perhaps it isn’t love when I say you are what I love the most - you are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love. This, my dear, is love." Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
My fourth entry for 2024's Romencken week, for the prompt "weapon".
The quote that is included in this piece is by Franz Kafka, an excerpt from a letter to his lover Milena. It's a quote that instantly stuck with me when I first read it as an angsty, goth-y teenager and it came to mind again when I thought about Roman, Jeryd and weapons. Enjoy!

"Know your place."
My entry for the 5th day of Romencken Week, "dog".
This motive was pretty much a no-brainer, but in the end, I drafted quite a few pieces until I was okay enough with one of them to finish it. I don't know why that is, but it happens again and again that I end up struggling the most with very "easy, obvious" prompts ... anyway, enjoy!

"You did good. Good boy."
tw: blood
This is my entry for the third day of Romencken Week 2024, prompt "(serial) killer".
This entry is sadly a little late because RL was kind of kicking my ass, sorry! :"3 I instantly knew I wanted to draw these two for the "(serial) killer" prompt. Something about them covered in some poor unsuspecting victim's blood just seems very right to me. I like to imagine that Mencken would be the one to teach Roman the ropes, as they say. I also figure them to be knife guys. Drawing this was loads of fun - I drew a lot more bloody motives when I was much younger, and it's still such a weirdly good time. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

"No worries, no worries. I'm here to kiss it all worse."
This is my entry for the second day of Romencken Week 2024, prompt "wound/injury".
I enjoy the concept of characters being injured (both physically and emotionally) a lot and how that plays into their relationship with each other. I find Roman's relationship with pain especially intriguing in canon, so I naturally gravitated toward this prompt. Enjoy!

Hey is it true you hosting a Romencken week on Twitter? I don't have an account but I'm interested, how does it work?
Hi, yes!! II forgot to post about it here, I'm sorry, but here are the details
(twt link) There are more details and a FAQ in the AO3 collection, but the idea is to create fanworks (writing, art, edits, collages, etc) inspired by the prompts and post them on the corresponding days with the tag #romenckenweek and (if they're uploaded to AO3) add them to the collection. Late submissions are allowed and you don't have to fill them all, just one is fine if that's all you feel or are able to do. If you have more questions that aren't in the FAQ feel free to send more asks!

"I have to go through this, I belong to here
Where no one cares and no one loves"
- Björk, Play Dead
I got very into HBO's "Succession" lately, feel extremely hard for Roman Roy, and of course, gravitated towards the most problematic pairing this series has to offer (meaning, him and Mencken). Just, y'know, girl things.
Happy Valentine's Day! <3
