Plot twist: they all have skills on-par with doctors but four of them dgaf and the last is potentially a hallucination

This is just the OG lyctors

your “found family” is what most would describe as a “nightmare blunt rotation”

Lyctor? I hardly know her!

I painted Jod and his duplicitous sluts in the style of Byzantine art!! I believe we are approaching my annual reread of the series... ✨⚔️💀⚔️✨

the love triangle in TLT is so funny because it's not even a true love triangle. it's like a shape that hasn't even been invented yet. first you've got Ianthe, who thinks Harrow is totally into her but isn't. and Harrow is into Gideon but also this really sexy corpse. the sexy corpse was maybe probably in a relationship with Gideon's dad who's also the leader of the solar system. he hooks up with his officers sometimes and has hooked up with his best friends over the last 10,000 years because they were bored. Ianthe also has this weirdly borderline incestuous relationship with Coronabeth but Coronabeth is in love with Judith who had a crush on her now-dead cavalier. the only ones who've got a semi-normal relationship are Camilla and Palamedes and even then they had a weird poly thing with Dulcinea even though they never met her in person. and they have another weird poly thing with Pyrrha but by that point they're sharing a body. then they decide to do a mutual suicide/soul binding ritual and become a whole new person in Camilla's body. also they're second cousins. oh Pyrrha also had a weird poly thing with her necro and Gideon's biomom/the leader of the rebellion who's fighting against Gideon's biodad. I don't even have time to unpack all that and that doesn't even cover half of the shit happening here. there's also the whole Cytherea thing

Here's my take on a Last Supper-style editorial shoot for @tltfashionzine ! This one was challenging to put together but I had a lot of fun with it.

Shout out to @the-widows-of-culloden for their excellent McQueen archive.

it's my 4th locked tomb-versary today, so I did my own spin on HtN cover to commemorate that

I had some more thoughts ft. the glorified babysitters that made this kid their problem in the first place

remember when augustine told mercymorn “my bones will rest easy next to your bones” and then they didn’t. mercymorn erupted and augustine was dragged to hell. they hated each other to the last but even in death they couldn’t use that as a comfort

john 1:20 - “ he did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, ‘i am not the messiah.’ ”

ITS HERE!!! i’ve been wanting to do this ever since i read this quote. also i just reread this chapter in nona and it makes me go fucking insane. tribute to my most favorite horrible little guy and the most genuinely horrifying writing i’ve ever read

(comic quote is from The Reunion by Katherine Applegate, translation for the bible verse googled. thanks bible gateway)

- the “bright line” is john’s understanding of the soul/his connection to the earth; the four-pointed star is more explicitly the soul, hence why it’s in the palm of cristabel’s hand after she shoots herself, and over john’s mouth as he begins the lyctor process. the bright line resolves itself into alecto at the very end.

- the frame of cristabel is actually the first that came vividly to mind—i loved the image of a bright-eyed, naively innocent, anime-girl-esque cristabel juxtaposed with the harsh reality of the gun to her head and her bloodied hand

- the splash on page two is when john reaches out and stops gideon’s heart, and i just loveee how it came out

- the final panel is also one i’ve had in mind for a really long time. i hope i captured the unsettling horror of john, feral and animalistic and unnatural, moments after he completed the lyctor process
