No spoilers beyond 3.z in the tags/reblogs please ;-;

I've only had the girls for three arcs but if anything happened to them I'll... who are we kidding, this is a wildbow serial. Gently holding them I love them and their friendship so much ;-;

Best girl Alpy drinking her coffee before a long shift at the nightmare factory.

Edith I love you Edith. Her Girl in Candlelight form is so cool.

Bonus: sketches I made in between chapters! I've been posting these in my liveread thread in the PHO discord. It's been fun making silly doodles like these.

I'm normally hesitant to post fanart that isn't fully-polished - even the non-doodle art pieces above only took a few hours each to finish - but I might keep doing little compilations like these after every 3 or so arcs I finish.

The other two pieces of this collection can be found here (Hungry Choir) and here (John Stiles).

and miss, but opinions on her are moee positive generally

For reference I'm on 7.1 as of last night

He's really fun to watch whenever he appears onscreen! He radiates kicked wet dog energy so much. I think a chapter or two into meeting him I was like "Wow I want to put him in a plastic bag and shake him like a goldfish."

I talk about him more in my post-arc Pale tumblrsexyman rankings in the reblogs of this post.

I think arc 5 was the highlight for him so far. He gets like one (1) moment of happiness when he's talking fondly about his BHI colleagues, he straight up offers to take the karmic hit for Clem awakening, and I still remember the description of him wearing a shirt with the chest pocket torn out. He's just so pathetic it loops around to being endearing. Snowdrop of all people is assigned to babysit him. Also I love that scene when the girls are investigating the site of the Carmine Cube, and he's just standing there like 😒 while Daniel yaps at him.

However at present I'm pretty sure he's got something to do with the murder, and if he's directly involved in making Yalda the Hungry Choir I'm exercising my free will as an artist and drawing him in a torment nexus of some kind :((

As for Miss I love her and miss (haha) her. She's so cool. I can't wait to find out whatever her plans were for choosing the Kennet Trio and for Kennet as a whole, hallow and haven for peaceful Others that it is.

Also I still love this bit from my PHO liveread thread:

Link to the original post below

If somebody were to make a Pale amv, Warriors by Imagine Dragons would be the best song to put to it. Never has "We are the warriors who built this town from dust" rang truer than in Kennet.

They started as a community of like 12 or 13 Others bringing 3 young girls into the world of magic so they can say they have human overseers. Last we saw, they have 2 pocket dimension versions of Kennet that interweave with eachother and regular Kennet, they made a market that utilizes goods from all 3 Kennets, and the town has dozens of named characters!

It even has specific lyrics you could dedicate to specific characters.

"As a child, you would wait and watch from far away, but you always knew you'd be the one to work while they all play" has Lucy vibes.

"In youth, you'd lay awake at night and scheme of all the things that you would change but it was just a dream" screams Verona.

"Will come, when you will have to rise, above the rest and prove yourself, your spirit never dies" was literally Avery's character arc.

"Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above, but don't weep for me cause this will be the labor of my love" Do I even need to spell out why this is the Exile?

If this did happen I would hope it's the original Warriors. Maybe it's just a matter of personal preference, but I like it better than the cinamatic redo they did that got popular.
