ENG: The Magical Girl and The Huntress

I coloured this old lineart of Kaede and Taisin from Huntress by Malinda Lo @malindalo. I reviewed this book on my podcast @unadosisdeficcion first season, last year, and liked it quite a bit, even when it has a few problems of pacing and so. But I loved the girls! The romance is so adorable and well crafted! So now that I’m picking pieces to show at this event  I really had to colour this, and I like the results a lot!

[Description: A half body full coloured piece of Kaede and Taisin from Malinda Lo’s Huntress. They are holding hands behind Taisin’s back, and softly kissing. Kaede is wearing an armour with a Chinese unicorn design, and her clothes have a daffodil print. Her hair is half shaved and the longest part is kept on a bun on top of her head. Taisin is wearing a long dress with long sleeves and a hydrangea  design on the skirt. Her hair is also up on elaborated knots. Her shawl is forming and breaking itself to bright pieces. ]

ESP: La Chica Mágica y La Cazadora

Coloreé este viejo lineart de Kaede y Taisin de la novela Cazadora, de Malinda Lo. Hablé de este libro en la primera temporada de mi podcast @unadosisdeficcion el año pasado, contando que me gustó, pese a tener problemas de organización de acción y ritmo. ¡Pero me encantaron las chicas y su romance! Están escritas de una manera muy tierna y adorable. Y ahora que estoy eligiendo piezas para presentar en este evento  sentí que tenía que colorear esto, y me gustó bastante como quedó. 

 Por cierto, si están en Bahía Blanca o la zona, acérquense este jueves a la Alianza Francesa para ver este y más dibujos y disfrutar de una charla acerca del surrealismo y su contexto histórico y político, en la presentación del libro “El Encuentro de Breton y Trotsky en Mexico”

ENDLESS LIST OF MY FAVORITE FICTIONAL OTPS: Kaede and Taisin from Huntress by Malinda Lo

Kaede told herself that what she felt was only a little seed; she would simply not water it. It wouldn’t grow any larger than this tiny prickle of attraction. She wouldn’t let it. 

Ooo, one of my favourite slashy ships. So many reasons to like them together.

Zevran has a lot of the worldly experience and a cynical outlook that Alistair could use a little of. Alistair has a lot of the trust and joy in simple things, and innocence, despite his upbringing, that Zevran has missed out on having. They’ve both got self-confidence issues, Alistair because he doesn’t believe in himself, Zevran because he’s failed the woman he loved and was betrayed by a partner he trusted.

They’re both people who are rather desperately in need of someone to love, someone to both protect and be protected by, in differing ways. Zevran needs a partner who can look after themselves, who he doesn’t have to fear will either betray him or whom he would be unable to protect; someone he can depend on. Alistair needs someone who won’t put up with him putting himself down, who would make him see his own competency, and help him to see people for what they really are (Eamon for example, who I cannot believe has ever had Alistair’s best interests at heart, ever) and help him to lose some of that innocence in a good way. Someone who would help him be comfortable with being a sexual being.

Funnily enough i just spent a chunk of yesterday re-reading a bunch of my own stuff, including the Dark Days trilogy, and thinking “I should write more about those three". Can’t guarantee anything, and it’s probably wouldn’t be soon because I have RDABB pieces to write and several other WIPs I’m trying to finish, but… yeah… I do want to revisit Alistair/Zevran/Kalli at some other point in their timeline.
