Resting before next assassination 🌅🗡️

the fact that Spite seems able to read/interpret Lucanis' thoughts as they happen, but that Lucanis is NOT aware of what Spite's been up to while he (Lucanis) sleeps even after he wakes up, implies a fascinating and also terrifying partition of memory. like Spite can decide not to tell Lucanis things and we don't really get information on if Lucanis is capable of the same. on the other hand, this does mean everything Lucanis learns/knows through Spite is stuff Spite has very intentionally told him... and it probably WOULD be terrifying for a human man to suddenly have a vast amount of spirit/demon knowledge just lurking in his skull. presumably the degree of cooperation of thought sharing on Spite's half is something they worked out in the Ossuary.

the other interesting half is that Lucanis is constantly putting up doors/locks in his mind NOT on purpose, but Spite is doing so very intentionally. no wonder he got mad about Lucanis not controlling it since it's clearly something Spite learned really, really fast--and part of why Spite takes it as intentional rather than accidental when Lucanis does it.

Wish they'd keep these. Angwy Spite. And the last one. He enjoys Rook's company. "You. Me. Lucanis."

That bed Rookanis scene with purple choice makes me go fucking feral, not because they slept together but:

Rook: Stay awake all night? However shall we pass the time?

Lucanis: Would you talk to me? Your voice is a comfort.

HE WANTED ROOK TO JUST SIMPLY TALK TO HIM. ROOK BEING CHEEKY AND SUGGEST MORE SEX BUT LUCANIS JUST UWUWWUW WOULD YOU TALK TO ME AND HOLD ME AND WUV ME 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

There's not enough content with masc Lucanismancer Rooks. If you've got a male Rook or a nonbinary Rook, reblog this with photos and tell me about them!!

Your face when you haven't slept for six months, you live in a pantry, and there's a capricious demon in your head. Gods, I love him.

Sorry, Your Honor, ‘But Have You Seen Her Lore?’ Is A Valid Defense

My friend just sent me the speedpaint. I want a freaking iPad now uuugggghhh, it was sooo fun to use, I hate my life. Anyway, here ya go. I always redraw the nose like a million times in every drawing LOLOLOL I can never get it right on the first try! I think it turned out pretty decent for drawing her from memory. Whatever, this is the only thing I got done after a whole day at uni, my classes were useless af.

But can we talk more about Caterina Dellamorte?

I want to devour this woman’s mind in the same way I long to consume Illario’s. To reach 70 years like a crow—and worse yet, to bear the title of First Talon—is profoundly awe-inspiring, even terrifying. Rook is singular because I would’ve soiled myself merely sharing a room with her. I crave to know who this formidable woman was before she lost her FIVE children and SIX grandchildren.

Do you think the scent of flowers lost all meaning for her after so many funerals? How much grief can a mother endure before her heart grows numb to it? It’s horrific, it’s tragic—and yet she stands there, unbroken. I can do nothing but revere her.

I want to believe she was as passionate as her grandchildren, as bleeding-hearted as Lucanis, as fiercely alive as any of them before everything was torn from her—because that makes it all the more agonizing. Amidst this endless mourning, which surely lost all meaning somewhere in the recesses of her mind, did she cling to faith as a woman of devotion? Or did it, in the end, estrange her? Is that why Illario and Lucanis are such "bad" believers? Did such suffering draw her closer to the Maker’s teachings, or force her to recoil?

I am convinced she was hardened to the point where only one purpose remained: to ensure the survival of her grandchildren, her last living kin. And she succeeded, by the way! Yes, child abuse is wrong (says the victim, lol), but I can’t bring myself to judge this woman by her circumstances. She did what she believed necessary, and in the end, they both survived—in one way or another. She forged two master assassins who serve the world better alive than dead.

So why, Caterina? Why tear apart the last family you had left in this world? Instead of teaching unity, instead of bequeathing your more-than-capable grandchildren the title as something shared—why make them doubt each other? Is your favoritism deliberate, or just another of your fatal miscalculations?

I have my own headcanons, of course—that Illario resembles his mother too much, and his mother, in turn, bore the face of the man Caterina once loved so fiercely she built a family with him. But this is just me trying to force logic into the void.

Why craft a perfect team, a fusion of a master assassin’s finest talents split between your two grandchildren, only to turn it into a battle for supremacy? Was it this same blindness that led to the slaughter of nearly your entire bloodline? Or is this the scar tissue of too much grief, calcified into cruelty?

I could spend entire lifetimes turning this woman over in my mind and still never voice every thought I truly harbor about her. I can’t help but press the weight of my own traumas into these musings—yet I also believe that’s precisely what draws me to her with such violent force. She’s fascinating. She’s excruciating. I adore Caterina Dellamorte, and let NONE of my fanfics convince you otherwise!

And please, for the love of god, never take Lucanis or Illario’s internal monologues as gospel in my storytelling. This character is devastatingly intricate. Profoundly layered. A tragedy unto herself.

Emmrich & Lucanis banter about/with Spite because it's a very fun angle of conversation between them

A huge shout out to the wonderful @mescalitoart for bringing my dear Magnus de Riva and Lucanis Dellamorte to life in this recreation of the deleted romance lake scene concept art. My boys are looking amazing.
