"Be silent, and be still." It’s a pity Tajorinen had not been the Knight some centuries ago, when Irastenys had rather more patience for this sort of thing. But he doesn’t want to play games. Not anymore. He stretches out his hand, catching Tajorinen’s chin in his fingers, feeling the muscle in his jaw flexing. He’s a good match for Ashtoryan. Yet another waste of a beautiful face. "You must be feeling terribly pleased with yourself, to have gotten under my skin, hm? To counsel me, for fear that I might be bereft a second time, for fear of a murderer in our court?" Irastenys traces along the taut muscles of the other man’s neck. "But you see, Tajorinen… There are a few things you don’t know about me. Sit down. Stay still." Irastenys watches as the Knight’s body obeys, and his mind rebels. He must be screaming inside. And this is just a little taste. Sitting there beside him, Irastenys lays his head on Tajorinen’s shoulder, in some mockery of fondness. The poor man is bristling from head to toe. "Relax. I won’t hurt you. And if you’re thinking that next time, you’ll strike before I can speak, well… There won’t be a next time, either."

~ @void-botanist

I think I'll talk about some of the characters I'm personally responsible for in The Bishop of Black. We've finally finished our first book, and I really should be boasting about it more. Also I'll include some art! My husband does all the art for this project, and I ride quite happily on their coat tails.

Irastenys

Despite his long years, Irastenys never experiences malaise when it comes to forming human connection. He just can't help himself. He longs to be close to others, or at least as close as his immortality and his terrible secrets allow. Even in eras where he's attempted to keep others at a distance, it's inevitable that he breaks this self-imposed restriction.

Ennyn

When startled enough, Ennyn will use all four of their arms to scale the nearest tall object or wall. They have no idea how unsettling it looks when they do this.

Isbellor

In order to mantle spirits properly, Isbellor has to work to minimize her own imprint inside her body. She keeps her attire fairly nondescript, as well as her diet. But she does have cheat days, during which she enjoys as much and as many different varieties of curry as she can stomach.

@theskeletonprior looooool

if you're trying to get into the head of your story's antagonist, try writing an "Am I the Asshole" reddit post from their perspective, explaining their problems and their plans for solving them. Let the voice and logic come through.

Yo dawg I heard you like narrative foils. Helps when the magical color scheme is giving "Equal But Opposite" right?

[alexanderflowerbird]

Hey remember when? Remember? Hahaha iykyk <3

[alexanderflowerbird]

Just a sleepy sad murder man. Does Irastenys have reasons to be this sad? Absolutely 100 percent. Are many of the reasons he’s sad completely his fault? Also yes, very much so lol
