Utterly blown away by the kind words and responses to the previous Harrow piece everyone! ❤️

Here’s the matching Gideon Nav, in the same Alphonse Mucha x The Locked Tomb series! (I know, armour isn’t strictly canon, but it’s badass, so yeah. No apologies) Enjoy!

(There’s been some confusion, I’m a real fencer, not a cosplayer 😭😭)

My friend and I took some amazing and edgy glamour shots of me in steel fencing kit holding a steel sword yesterday, I’ve just been playing about with them.

The red band around my arm would signify who I am in the tournament (You’re either Red Fencer or Blue Fencer, they don’t call out your name during a fight), and well, my best friend’s steel jacket is already blue so that makes me Red Fencer. And fits with my Jupiter persona—

They’re very album-image-esque. Me, getting into music? No wayyyyyyhhhhh unlesss (I don’t just foreshadow nothing!) (Don’t worry I have a musical background + bits of musical theatre too, I promise I’m not a YouTuber who just decides they’re a singer 😭😭😭) For fun, anyway.

Side note: Not all the guards I did in those shots are real fencing guards, sometimes we just wanted a good shot.

Happy Birthday to this badass lady!!

"The cold wind howls, but I stand unshaken. My sword is sharpened, my heart steady. The battle before me does not frighten me—I was born for this."
