Absolutely feels like this. I only am getting to the part when things are making sense.

Fr 💔😔

well well well...

how interesting that we ended up with two from the same fandom for the championship when we started with such a large assortment.

I'm only two hundred pages in but nothing's been solved so I've only been taking notes on the mystery and it just keeps being mysterious!!! AHHHH

(spoilers below although idek what's happening in the book yet fully so-)

WHERE IS BEST GIRL GIDEON??? SHE DOES NOT EXIST. LITERALLY. LIKE HARROWS CAVALIER ISN'T GIDEON??? WHERE IS GIDEON??? IVE MADE IT A JOKE WHERE EVERYTIME SOMETHING IS UNEXPLAINED, I WRITE IT, THEN PUT "GIDEON" BC HELL IF I KNOW WHY HER SWORD HATES HER. WHO IS THE BODY??? A.L.??? NOTHING MAKES SENSE AND I FEEL GREAT FINDING THINGS THAT DONT ADD UP (IE HARROW SAYING "IVE NEVER DIED BEFORE" OFFHANDLY, BUT THE LETTERS BEING FROM A HARROW THAT SAYS SHES DEAD) BUT THEN IDK WHAT TO DO WITH IT???

You held aloft the sword, I still love y

Sort of happy with this, sort of not? I really enjoyed the composition and sketching part, but the shading feels off. Nonetheless, I wanted to have all three in one drawing!!

[ID : A digital drawing of Alecto, Nona and Harrow. The background is dark blue and shows the Earth, with the quote “You held aloft the sword, I still love y” around it. Alecto stands tall in the background, with long blonde hair reaching the ground. She’s dressed in a white Renaissance esque dress, with manacles on her wrists and her neck, chains connecting them. She is drawn to look very symmetrical and a little angry. In front of her, Nona is seated on her knees, looking back at the viewer over her shoulder. She has her black hair in two braids and wears a shirt and trousers on dark green shades. Harrow lies on her side in front of Nona, curled in on herself. Her black hair is as long as Nona‘s and kept open. Her skull paint is smeared, and she wears all black with her exoskeleton. In front of Harrow, waves flow gently towards the women. Harrow‘s hair is wetted by the water. /end ID]

totally not relevant to Palamedes or nurse outfits BUT hypothetically what would Camilla wear to a costume party?

Dream scenario for Alecto the Ninth - Alecto just comes and rips John apart and puts him into a tomb instead.

This is inspired by a seggsy statue of Medusa in the same pose, and considering that Alecto has apparently a little to do with Arthurian legend, and like gives me medieval or medieval art poster vibes (probably due to the writing style in the epilogue) I thought to give her some clothes that resembled that (but I ended up with a more Renaissance inspired dress, thought that fit better); and also I tried to get the text to look a little medieval.

[ID: Two digital drawings of Alecto The First, in a green-blue lightning. She is wearing a white flown dress that is reminiscent of renaissance dresses. She has manacles on both wrists and her neck. The chains on her wrist manacles are broken, the chain coming from that on her neck is unbroken and wraps around her waist. Her right hand holds the severed head of John Gaius and her left hand holds her iron sword. The sword, the head and Alecto’s mouth and bottom of her dress are covered in blood. The first drawing is only different from the second in that is has text written on it. The text is “That is how meat loves meat” written in a medieval-esque font. /end ID]

Tamsyn Muir gave us the gift that keeps on giving - River Bubble AUs, meaning that technically every single fanfic of TLT is canon, it’s just in a River Bubble.

I keep wanting to mashup roots of chaos and the locked tomb, mainly due to lesbians and my brainrot. But my main points are just necromancer Dumai and cavalier Nikeya, necromancer Ead and cavalier Sabran (although people tend to think it’s the other way around at first glance), Kalyba being locked up à la Alecto but also giving people hallucinations bc she can. And you know - Harrow is the Queen of Inys and Gideon a sister of the Priory who was sent to protect her but absolutely hates it

God aka John Gaius aka The Emperor calling Phyrra a bombshell, and then making a ‘your mom’ joke to Augustine is the highlight of my day
