Such Nice Dust

Comic test page from way back when (I forgot comics are read left-to-right)

harrow reaching for alecto and begging to be able to touch her

palamedes being so excited to see harrow he PICKS HER UP IN A SPIN AND KISSES THE TOP OF HER HEAD when she can’t even recognize one of her only friends

augustine telling mercy “my bones will rest easy next to your bones.”

cam painstakingly gathering the fragments of palamedes’ skull for the smallest chance he might still be in there

gideon gaining consciousness in harrow’s body and the only thing she even wanted was for her to be there.

harrow realizing the theater of her mind and feeling the absolute gut punch of losing the love of her life all over again

wake smiling at pyrrha like there's no one else in the world she'd rather see

harrow's dream-hallucination roleswap au holding firm to the idea that crux loves her and would stick by her even if she weren't the reverend daughter

her desperately contrite apology to ortus and his simply wrapping her in a hug which feels good and safe in a way touch usually doesn't for her

mercymorn tearfully demanding that john tell her he loved cristabel

gideon remembering the fight that prompted harrow to open the tomb, the angry desperation and genuine desire to hurt each other that two children should never have felt ("how much more will it take before you and i achieve omniscience?")

augustine telling mercy that he could stub her out like a cigarette and john would forgive him, and then later john does exactly that and augustine refuses to forgive him

marta dyas learning judith is still alive

All of these, but also:

When Isaac dies and Gideon has to carry Jeannemary kicking and screaming through Canaan House

Oh and then when Jeannemary dies

“I hope you know I adore you, Scholar."

“Life is too short, and love is too long."

Camilla wearing Gideon’s sunglasses, and privately liking them, even though they’re a little too big for her face.

An idea I had for Blood of Eden propaganda/recruitment posters featuring some of our favorite guys - combo of digital-print cyberpunk graphic design style with oldschool Saturday Morning Post covers like you'd see Leyendecker paintings on

I was gonna post these ahead of tabling at a small con and selling prints of them but ended up not tabling because turns out grad school is hard

I mix this one up with canon all the time (part of a great series!)

Best smutty joke ever

My own Kingkiller inspired series

You may know that 'Alecto' (Αληκτώ) as a name translates to Ceasless, as in 'merciless' or 'implacatable', etc etc. Coming from the mythological Fury. A-lecto. Un-ending.

And 'pause' (παύση) is a word. A greek word in origin.

Therefore, Αληκτόπαυση (Alectopause) is a perfectly understandable to any fluent speaker word, that means "Unending-Pause". Have a fun one with it

His gaze fell upon the desk again. I thought he was looking at the penholder. The Warden was a fiend for stealing pens. (TMSoDS)

I love to think about some dragon hoard pen stash somewhere in his office.
