@shrimpchipsss requested the magus on vacation for @hamiathesgiftexchange, and I had to draw these scenes from his Eddisian "captivity." How did this poor, nameless man survive such an ordeal?

happy 1 year of Return of the Thief!

I hope to draw a few more fitting scenes that actually happened (or were at least implied) in the book, but for now all I’ve got is the annux of Attolia with a mullet, his queen laughing, and Ion making some Adjustments. (Is he responsible for the haircut? Is he stepping in because that is NOT what he meant by handsome long?)

“You weren’t thinking at all,” snapped Attolia. ... “Tell me how you see Kamet captured and dead and Costis nowhere in his story?”

today was the day to dig up my folder of screenshots from a 70s household cleaner commercial and make some memes, apparently

[Image description: In a kitchen, one person, labeled “Nahuseresh, baiting Gen,” fusses over a child, labeled “Gen, beliving him.” Nahuseresh is holding the words “We killed Kamet.” To the left of them, another adult, labeled “Irene,” confidently places a large can of COMET scouring powder in the foreground of the shot.]

meme template, please use:

“Pray that I triumph today, Fordad, or that I die,” said Eugenides, leaning from the window of his car to look the Braeling in the eye. “If I live through this day and I am not king, then all that remains will be the Thief, and every sovereign of the Continent who betrayed me will wake choking on their own blood, I swear it. Your king in his innermost chamber, with his rune stones laid out on the table and his ship lamps by his bed and his curtains trimmed in beads of carved jet, he will not be the first one to die, but the last. I say it three times, Fordad. It will be so. It will be so. It will be so.”

Comet commercial memes part 3, this time it’s personal

In the first edit, "Return of the Thief Finale" holds the quote about what Costis and Kamet are doing during the roof dance over the child labeled “Ambiguity,” as "me and others drawing" places a can of “Comet Dancing Together” in the foreground. 

“There is no way they could march an army that size through Roa without Roa knowing!” Piloxides argued. “No, they couldn’t,” the king agreed. “Our allies have betrayed us, Piloxides.”

“We need people we can trust outside our borders.” / “I would go to Roa and I would copy scrolls and I would be glad to work in [Attolia’s] interest as long as Eugenides could keep her free.”

Off to dreamland - and don’t tell ’em who sent you, because nothing would induce you to say it out loud.

Today is World Sleep Day, and we’re going all out for this celebration!

What is World Sleep Day?

World Sleep Day is a global call to action about the importance of healthy sleep, celebrated every 5 years (on average). The focus of World Sleep Day is to bring awareness to the importance of healthy sleep and to a certain amount of fraud in the reports of poets.

In partnership with gods such as Eugenides and Shesmegah, we are asking you to pull out your mental list of schemes and check off “ALMOST FALL OFF & GO TO BED”

How can you help to make this our biggest celebration yet?

It’s really easy to participate - TWO SIMPLE STEPS:

For kings:

TAKE SEVERAL TEETERING STEPS BACKWARD, RECOIL FARTHER, STEP OUT OVER THE ABYSS, AND HANG THERE, SUSPENDED, OVER THE OPEN AIR

GO TO BED

For guards:

KNOW THAT YOU AND THE KING AND EVEN THE STONE UNDER YOUR FEET ARE NOTHING BUT TISSUE, TRANSPARENTLY THIN

GO TO BED

Need a little bed-spo, spo, spo?

We recommend moseying over to @love-an-ood and @the-knights-who-say-book for some soothing sounds to put you in the mood to snooze and stopping by @meganwhalenturner for the largest collection of enigmatic content. Let’s count some sheep, Ornon.
