a combined illustration of two scenes from Gideon the Ninth. the top image depicts the pool scene: Gideon is holding Harrow and kissing the bridge of her nose. Harrow is crying and desperately clutching Gideon's shirt. their hair is wet, their skull paint is smeared. they're half submerged in the water, and a wave divides the canvas in two. in the bottom image Harrow is on her knees, holding Gideon, who is covered in blood, her eyes closed, a smile on her face, her two-hander lying next to her. there are words "you could have lived for her" above the first image, "but you didn't know how" next to the second one.ALT

Good. Die. Die for her… it’s the only goddamn good you’ll ever do her. It’s all any of you ever knew how to give her.
