Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.
@scorpling: *galaxy brains* someone should draw the TLT necromancers as their corresponding Sailor Guardians
Me: Oh that sounds like a great idea. Too bad I've actually never watched Sailor Moon tho
Me:
Me: Palamedes in a miniskirt tho.
Hey guys remember in the unwanted guest when Pal talked about how Cam drew Dulcinea once. What if this was her art style. Please play in this space with me please
holy fuck we're back from Dragoncon and TLT COSPLAYERS REMAIN UNDEFEATED YAAAAAAARGH
without further ado, I present an initial dump of selected photos I took at the official TLT meetup -
Third/Fifth/Eighth House serving absolute cunt:
Cristabel Oct, the Woman that you Are, completely wrecking everyone's day:
Dios Apate, complete with traumatized Ianthe & Harrow:
all the Harrows & Gideons flipping one another off:
Individual mentions go to this INCREDIBLE Matthias Nonius, Ms. Gideon Frizzle, & a self-indulgent nod to the doomed triad:
feat. @eldritchw1tch and @incandescentorrery as two of our Ianthes, me as Cam, @tenebrari as Pal, and @aduck8myshoes as a pitch-perfect Dulcie. if you're also in any of these, definitely let me know (& tag me if you upload them, here or on IG at @feather.break) - I'd love to keep in touch!
I'll be editing and posting more individual images & solo shoots of various friends & co-conspirators for weeks, probably - stay tuned!
first meeting
Actually, hang on. Dulcinea says she's "not allowed" to tell Palamedes what happened to her while crossing the River. Bitch, allowed by whom??
It's not God, or Alecto, so who is out there laying down these laws?
augustine’s down there in a little crossing guard vest, cig in one hand and a shrill ass whistle in the other
Augstine blowing his whistle to make a horrible, shrill noise: "Everything reminds me of her"
the heart wants to write the au in which palamedes sextus is a broke grad student who lands a job ghostwriting for well-known romance author dulcinea septimus, who is too sick to maintain her writing career but is keeping her illness from the public eye, and gradually falls in love with her over the course of their email exchanges. but the mind knows that i would need to do quite a lot of research on quite a few subjects, and i have neither the time nor the ability to focus.
more stuff about this au:
they make my head hurt
In canto ix (9) of dante's inferno (the same canto where we encounter alecto) an angel appears while Dante is loitering outside the City of Dis (whose gates were marred in the harrowing of hell) to swipe its holy clearance passto let Dante into the Sixth circle.
Which is to say: If Dulcinea appears to help Harrow out in the Harrow in Hell portion of alecto the ninth I am going to lose what few shits I still have
I have been having hopes of Dulcinea as a sort of Vergil for Harrow after reading The unwanted guest, and will keep them till Alecto with a burning fervor.
Dulcinea as Virgil would be fucking amazing. Let's see that malign pixie dream girl try to navigate Harrow though hell
Anybody remember this show?
Have y’all ever gone to the beach?
dulcinea overexerted herself at the tridentariis party (linked here). the next extended comic will feature them going to the beach - in the meantime, please assume any other Q&As not related to the topic take place non-linearly.
Where are these guys on a scale from "uncanny sense of direction" to "could get lost in a paper bag?" (I believe in my heart that Gideon is the latter)

i want dulcie septimus to be a little bit fucked up and vicious. she's horny for *revenge*. harrow likened her to a *malign* fairy. i want her to be angry and feral and spiteful and selfish even as she's funny and charming and fiercely loving. i want her to cause problems. i want her to find cytherea's ghost in the river and beat the shit out of her. i want her to bully john. most of all i want her to make paul worse
Dulcie asks Palamedes for a photo of himself so Palamedes asks Camilla to help take photos of him and then he sorts through them for the most sensual image of him reclining in his desk chair with his sleeves rolled up suggestively exposing the entirety of his forearms.
"Is this too much" he asks Camilla
"You're cutting it a bit fine with having your top shirt button undone, Warden, but I think you can just about get away with it"
Cytherea is described as having a 'flowerlike face' and I'm wondering if it's a reference to the myth of Blodeuwedd. Blodeuwedd literally translates as 'flower-faced'.
For those who don't know, in the Welsh myth, Lleu Llaw Gyffes has been cursed by his mother to never have a human wife. Instead, the magicians Math and Gwydion make Lleu a wife out of flowers and name her Blodeuwedd.
However, Blodeuwedd has an affair with Gronw Pebr, and they plot to murder Lleu. Gronw throws a spear at Lleu, who turns into an eagle and flies away.
In the end, Gwydion turns Blodeuwedd into an owl as punishment, and Lleu kills Gronw.
While the story isn't identical, there are some notable parallels:
I also think it's notable that Blodeuwedd is a woman made out of flowers. She was literally built out of nature, like Alecto's body being sculpted from earth by John.
