i'm thinking about the locked tomb series and love letters. i'm thinking about harrow's notes to herself. guideline #1 is stay alive. and her notes to gideon. asking her to stay put and heal and wait for help to find her, telling her that harrow's left her some bread in a drawer and one flesh, one end wrapped around a pair of sunglasses. thinking about soon you will go where i can't follow you and ortus spending his whole life writing the noniad (mattias hight nonius his deeds and accomplishments) with such ardent love that he helped to summon a ghost through sheer force of passion. come to my room and i will make you that potato dish you like. about how palamedes has, twice now, been stuck passing notes with the woman he loves. about camilla's 12-year-old drawing based on dulcinea's description of her proportions. indubitably, warden. about the footnotes and footnotes at the bottom of the coronabeth letter, ensuring her safety as much as possible. about how love is keeping a scrap of paper for years just because it has their handwriting on it. about how magnus kept a piece of abigail's dance card for two years, even though there was nothing written on it. i will remember the first time you kissed me, you said i'm sorry, destroy me as i am, but i wanted to kiss you before i am killed.

it's all just i love you i love you i love you

Gideon & Harrow - The Locked Tomb series

[butchism]

little known fact but transfem butches actually paint the stars onto the sky every night

[butchism]

You can imagine Gideon Nav in any shitty grunt job you've ever had, for free. Flipping burgers with you at Wendy's. Shoveling dogshit at the dog boarding place. Digging ditches on trail crew. She's right there beside you. Like Jesus

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.

Yes my brain is currently rotting because of these two thanks for asking. The idea for this illustration was so vivid in my mind after reading the first book that I decided it was worth the time and effort I put into it!

I told you there were going to be more fanarts ;)

My HRT prescriptions are written by a lesbian and honestly that feels like the natural order of things. Woman with a personal interest in making more women.
