#Johannes Cabal

[see-arcane]

Every time I blink there's some new Jon, John, or Johannes taking up space in my head. I plan to add to it by finally sitting down and reading through Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell in the coming year. Still missing a Johanna, though.

i think running a satanic carnival with my vampire brother i left for dead years ago to get my soul back from the devil would fix me btw

A very silly Johannes Cabal comic based on this post.

Johannes is normally muted, but this is one thing he's touchy about.

“Waste not.”

I wanted to draw his forearm, so I rolled up his sleeve, but then I couldn’t imagine him walking around without a jacket, so I left it half on. And looking at it now I’m tickled by the plot implications.

johannes cabal is an excellent series for many reasons but one of the best ones is how the entire thing basically boils down to "the solution for apathetic depression was not to get better morals, but to get better friends" and i think that's beautiful.

what’s the most underrated piece of fiction you’ve ever seen? For me it is the Johannes Cabal books series about a Necromancer running a carnival. Honestly, I’m shocked it doesn’t have a cult following

Best quote from Johannes Cabal: The Fall of the House of Cabal so far ...

"I feel no chaotic effects upon me. And for that, I am grateful and relieved. The fish business is not something I care to repeat."

"You made an adorable hake!"

"Madame," Cabal said with great dignity, "I was a halibut."

There is a recent youtube video (with five million views atm) called "The real Jon Snow", about how different and better Jon is in the books than the Jon in the final seasons of the Game of Thrones show. And it's 2hrs and 10mins long, so I thought who would watch a movie-length rant over one character. But actually you know what. I would listen to a 2hr10min rant video about the real Jonathan Harker vs his media portrayals. And a longer one about Mina. So I Get It, I'm sorry mr Youtuber.

You know what, I think we need to start a support group for 'Jons That Deserve Better.'

Jon Snow, Game of Thrones -> Appears in exactly one (1) adaptation of his books, gets screwed over.

Jonathan Harker, Dracula -> Appears in multiple adaptations of his book, gets screwed over in the adaptation or else gets booted out of the story entirely.

Jonathan Sims, The Magnus Archives -> Screwed over by misinterpretations outside his audio drama, gets -10 care from any ally or friend*** within it. (Also somehow Does Not have an adaptation to speak of while Archive 81 landed a questionable Netflix drama.)

Johannes Cabal, Johannes Cabal the Necromancer series -> Honorary Jon, screwed over by being seemingly doomed to obscurity because not enough people have stopped to pick up the books and realize the exact blend of occult/eldritch/adventure-horror with a dash of comedy and found family goodness they didn't know they were missing is Right There waiting to rock everyone's proverbial socks.

Also as someone who has only read up to the second book, I find myself wondering how long Johannes Cabal knew his significant other for. Like Horst was trapped in the crypt for eight years, so she had to have passed away at least eight years prior to the first book. Johannes is in his late twenties, so we could say he was around eighteen to twenty years old when she passed away.

My point being, unless they met when they were children, it's very likely that Johannes has been trying to bring his significant other back from the dead for longer than he knew her.

two book series that slap that i never hear about

the crimson empire: really fun spin on the conventions of high fantasy that is also a really fun grimdark series

johannes cabal: goth terry pratchett basically. fucking hilarious and an absolute must if you like lovecraft but you wish he didn't have a huge stick up his ass

Quick redraw of a meme (not that one, another one that’s a reference to that one), but it’s Leonie/Zarenyia/Ms. Smith.

For Fem/February as well.

Doodling something Johannes Cabal flavored and goddamit it is fucking midnight.
