Reverend Daughter

thinking abt the subtle yet overwhelming body horror and dysphoria present in Nona the Ninth. I’m not even talking about Ianthe piloting around Naberius’s corpse or Kiriona’s whole. thing.

it’s the subtler shit. imagine you’re Pyrrha. you’re lying awake in bed on a doomed wasteland of a planet and you’re in your dead best friend’s body. in the next room is a kid, and you have no idea who she actually is. she eats pencils and she’s physically weak but when she’s mad she will break her own bones over and over just to communicate her rage. you kind of have feelings for two people living in the same body, and that very situation is killing that very body. You shave your dead best friend’s face every day. You will never have your own body back.

the locked tomb series is really like. maybe love doesn't conquer all. maybe love is not pure and good and holy. maybe love is not a white dove come to save you from yourself. maybe it won't fix you. maybe it'll make everything worse. maybe love is dirty and ugly and terrifying and awful. maybe it'll kill you. maybe it'll warp you into something unrecognizable. maybe love is a parasite and by the time you realize it's there, it's too late to tear it out of you, no matter how badly you might want to. maybe it's a cordiceps fungus, tangled up in your nerves, making you do things you'd never ordinarily do. maybe love is a dog with its jaw locked on your arm. maybe love is an angry ghost. maybe love is a brain hemorrhage, a seizure, two weeks of sleeplessness and cracking open your own tibia unanesthetized in a bathroom. maybe it's the ocean you'll drown in. maybe it's poison. maybe it's scary and filthy and difficult and bad for you.

so what now? are you going to stop? are you even going to try?

no. of course you aren't.

LGFH IS BACK YIPPY

HEY EVERYONE! I'm currently sick, but I do still have to advertise the fact that Little Girl From Hell is back from hiatus, so here's the "We're back!" illustration I cooked up this time~.

Chapter 23: "Flyers" is out now on Webtoon Canvas! It'd mean the world to me if you checked it out.

sketch of Nona with the Palestinian flag requested by @fantasticfilmfanatic-123 for @thelockedtombcfp ! Thank you for donating! I remind everyone that many of the artists and writers still accept commissions for donations to PCRF! check them out if you wish :)

guess what I finally read

God loves you, but not enough to save you

Found the coolest spot to take Halloween pics

Harrow is @cassylvan !!! Kissing you on the mouth

"You hang around for a living

Somewhere between all the land and the sky

Being by never forgiving

Nobody knows you and neither do I..."

each house gets one rendering style the economy is dire

something something camilla hect is orpheus in the sense of. you're gone but you will keep following me. i know you're gone but i will never stop walking and carrying you with me. i will carry your bones around my neck. i will carry your soul inside my head. as long as i never turn around and look at you, i will never lose you. please, can i stop walking alone now? will you please walk beside me?

Ninth Saints

close up on faces cause I like em

once again thinking about the fact that harrowhark nonagesimus is a five-foot-nothing necrophiliac dweeb ass nun. she is soggy and bleeding and does not sleep enough. for most of htn she has about 3/4 of a functioning brain. she looks at everyone like she's worked out how to kill them. her entire life is consumed by an all-encompassing grief and guilt that isn't even hers. she's got a mean sense of humor and pockets full of dubiously sourced teeth. and every eligible bachelorette in the nine houses would fling themselves into the sun for her hand in marriage.

i understand the urge to want to wait until all of the locked tomb books are out to read them but like. alectopause is so fun. i promise there is no badness here. we are definitely not all slowly going insane. join us. join us. join us join us joij us join us join us join us join s joun us join us joun us join us join us joun us joun us jouns ys sjoun usgs joujs uusv joiun usgs sjiujbsusys
