Keep making Angsty!Kirionas, she is just a delight to draw. AAAAAAAAAAAAA
also known as : when you would love to get hot and bothered but you only get bothered becuase there is an eldritch-horror-hole where your heart used to be and no one wants to get near that (not even you), save ianthe (euck) (and maybe harrow, but she isnt here, ISNT SHE?)
i’m re-reading the locked tomb series and going crazy because the ONLY time palamedes calls camilla “scholar” is during the “love and freedom don’t coexist” scene
ALT
the rhythm of the scene relies SO heavily on the clacks and the pauses, and there are THREE pauses right before palamedes says “you know that i adore you, scholar.” and camilla, who’s been pausing before responding to NEARLY EVERY line in this scene until “we are one flesh / i am your end,” responds IMMEDIATELY
I somehow managed to go almost two years without drawing Harrow Nova once, so here she is. featuring Ortus being a Perfect Cavalier and Gideon being a Buff Necromancer
not to throw my hat into the ring of the harrow gender wars but i do think it kind of rules how she’s written with a schrodinger’s gender. you could plausibly read her as butch or as femme or as a secret third thing and any of those positions would be substantiated in-text and provide illuminating interpretations both in terms of character & in terms of how she interacts with the gendered texture of her social world. really impressive amount of gender packed into one tiny and Compact girl*.
