'Once upon a time, on the coldest night of midwinter, in the darkest heart of the forest, Death and Fortune came to a crossroads.'

(time lapse and notes under cut)

I say notes it's going to be incoherent screaming.

I have literally never been able to reread books but little thieves is a rare exception. I know the main plot but I've forgotten some of the details, like Vanja's amazing dialogue with just about everyone for an example.

The drawing above is Vanja (four years old) at the crossroads with her mother. In the process of drawing I realised a few things:

a) for a while she didn't have her braids (I fixed this towards the end)

b) cannonically she has a cloak so she doesn't immediately freeze to death but I thought I could let a little detail slip (plus, negligence on her mother's part, which is fitting)

this started out as a doodle page and I liked the original doodle so much I turned it into a proper illustration :)

(this is entirely self indulgent but I hope someone finds joy from it)

If you have not read little thieves I will gently encourage (force) you to read it 👍

Anyway time lapse:

all the best,

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

augh i love the humanity themes w bsd but ive been thinking recently about yosano's ability and mori's exploitation of it in war as insight into fyodor because GOD. to take death away from humanity is to deprive them of the human right to die. the soldiers yosano was working with losing their minds, moving her place as angel from something like worship to this seething hatred. because by refusing them death, she has taken their very humanity from them

and with fyodor, who CANT die. who is killed and replaces his killer over and over and over for CENTURIES, his humanity is long gone. like almost everyone in bsd, hes searching for companionship - an equal. but he wont find one, because his humanity died a very very long time ago and he has abandoned any genuine path to get it back. like verlaine, he believes he can only find an equal in someone as inhuman as he is, but in both cases theyre Wrong about the person theyre seeking it from.
