I fucking LOVE how in the epilogue the book starts to refer to Coriolanus as just "Snow".
No more "Coriolanus". Just "Snow".
He's not the sweet yet smart and manipulative boy that deeply cares about his cousin and grandma or the boy who gives sweets to a little girl and carry her around when she hurts her foot. He's not the boy who fell in love with a girl and did everything to protect her. He's not the boy that helped his classmates.
He's not the boy that uses his mother memory and her old powder case as a way to calm down and feel safe.
He's just Snow, cold and manipulative, with now only his father compass and rat poison
going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:

i like to think that the tentacles in dungeon meshi are kinda like mushrooms or perhaps even lichens in that they are very confusing to identifty and have 200 completely different species that look very similar ("delicious brown tentacle vs BROWN DEATH TENDRIL") and you need to be an Expert to determine the difference between some of the more confusing species and some of them have like 300 different sexes and some of them are actually composite creatures composed of several different species and somehow yeast is involved and also no one really knows half of whats going on with them and in like 50 years someones gonna figure out that uhm actually these are two completely different types of tentacle creatures that arent related like at All they jusf happen to look similar and oh btw that one common house mold is actually a tentacle
I was fully dressed for the cold winter night in less than a few minutes. [Marius] put a black cape over my shoulders, and gave me gloves trimmed in miniver, and put a black velvet cap on my head. The shoes he chose were black leather boots, which he never wanted me to wear before. To him the ankles of the boys were beautiful, and he did not favor boots, though he did not mind if we wore them by day when he could not see.

atsushi is genuinely such a good example of a "healing isnt linear" character. no, the fact that a straight up god-creature killed your colleague is not at all your fault. actually, none of the things currently happenning are truly within your control. i get you tho
Shotout to Leona and Cheka for singlehandedly getting me out of the worst artblock I've had in months, love these guys
Tbh I just wanted to draw Cheka doing that one thing kids do when they treat you like a climbing tree, I have other drawing about that but it's a work in progress, it was supposed to be animation practice but Ibis got some crunchy quality on the canvas if you don't pay so. Yeah. Also Grim is here bc why not
