Sapphic Games List Summer 2024
Welcome to the Upcoming Sapphic Games List Summer 2024. This is a series where I the divine goddess of the lesbians grace the video game information I painstakingly researched onto you my humble sapphic audience. This is not a review series or a series of pitches but a best guess series with some amount of impressions and details to give you an idea of games you might get to see yourself represented in if your a person who wants sapphic romance in their life. These are upcoming games so I really can’t promise their quality, the details, and even games with clear cut queer romance could idk pull a shocking homophobic ending or something so remember this is based just on trailers, demos, previews, interviews, and me asking questions to developers. These games are still in development, things can change and some of these are just strong guess although I try to make my reasoning make sense or put it in high probability rather than any other section. You can check out the last two ones I did of these here and here.
I am making this before whatever Nintendo Direct in June happens, I attempted to wait it out but they hadn’t announced it by the 14th so I decided to simply wrap up this article. To that end I may do a quick extra addition with a few more games as I keep digging, which I am always doing plus whatever has potential from there if there is anything new.
It takes a lot of research to make these so if you’d like to send any support at all my way Patreon and Ko-fi are the best ways to help me keep making these while I work on making my own lesbian art for sapphics of all kinds to enjoy badass sapphics.
Action Lesbians
Nova Hearts
Nova hearts is a magical girl dating sim RPG. While a bit closer to a Visual Novel then say a persona game Nova Hearts still has solid evolving RPG combat paired with social sim mechanics that grow relationships between your main character and the cast both in the party and outside of it. It's really cute and you can play the first chapter of the game yourself for free with Nova Hearts: The Spark.
Food Devils
This might be more of a Make Your Own Gay but given the roster has 3 women and 2 men plus an avatar of your chosen gender it’s pretty hard but I guess possible to make it where the game ends in all MF pairings. That said I have a strong feeling that there will be some degree of canon queerness outside of player choice given the game has chosen to default to the female avatar and the main romance they showcase is her romance with another woman. It's an SRPG with base building and it seems like romances will go beyond the devils too and give the player some options to romance maids and butlers as well thanks to kickstarter goals being met. It seems like it's going to have like an interesting twist on some coz vibes of cooking food and romancing hotties.

Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection
A remake of an amazing Lesbian Roguelike game is in the works and set to be released probably pretty close to when this goes up. You play as sword Lesbian Tama who is willing to do anything to save Koko who eas tragically killed recently. You gain The Sword Of The Necromancer and use that to revive monsters and fight through the dungeon to gain enough power to revive Koko.
Sword Of The Necromancer: Revenant
The original intended game from Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection, Revenant adds a man to the fold which, yes boo, tomatoes, tomatoes [or at least it seems to] but it keeps our main two adorable lesbians in the plot after their happy ending and brings them into the fold in this new chaotic story remaining main characters. Spoilers for the above game I guess, the lesbians are unburied in one of the possible endings and this game follows that. We'll have to see how it ends up working but Tama and Koko both seem to be playable in it and so it seems like you'll just have a little party to use in the plot.
youtube
Abyss X Zero
This game is getting a gay benefit of the doubt. The creators are queer, their last game is queer, I can assume somehow it'll be baked into the story of A and Z probably them being gay for each other despite them both needing to fight the other. The games a 3d metroidvania with a super nice art style, some level of customization and two Playable characters. They look great and the game looks great, very cool action and really brimming with style.
BRIGHT RED SONG OF LOVE
A new game being developed by Lily Valeen, creator of Boss Game. Boss Game was a game about girlfriends being gay and working gigs and fighting monsters so and this game looks gay too, so expect some gay ladies doing some cool stuff. All we have is screenshots and it’s probably like omega early in development but I wanted to mention it because lily Valeen made a really cool game and this is a great reminder to follow her and maybe check out boss game on Steam or on your phone or on Itch.io.
youtube
Crescent County
You ride on a motorbroom and try to make some cash cuz your broke as fuck. You are a gay witch looking for cute girls, new friends and new rivals, maybe all three at once. It looks really cool and fun and she kisses a girl in the trailer so I know it’s gay. It sounds like you might have several romantic options but it doesn’t seem like optional queerness just romantic options. I didn’t have a queer racing game on my bingo card of types of games I’d update y’all on or see but here we are, so cool, I love it. This seems like it has a queer dev team making a queer story in a new interesting way that I haven’t seen many games do. It sounds like the romance system is pretty neat too the dev mentioned that like you need a bed frame to have a girl over cuz she is going to have more self respect then to fuck you if you just have a matress on on the floor. So like, it sounds like a lot of fun.
youtube
Unbeatable
You are a pink haired girl who beats up cops and is in a rock band and the cast seems to mostly be women, if you are not gay in this game I believe it to be a hate crime and I will fight the developers. The game looks incredibly cool and the stunning hand drawn animation is just great. It is a kinda rhythm game I think in a setting where music is illegal and you love doing crime. I’m sold on this game I just need it to be gay, that’s it. I’ve bought it in my heart already but make it gay please, please, please. Also it looks like it’s tagged as LGBT+ so you know, it’s possible, I believe, I chose to believe. It looks too good to not be gay.
Make your own Gay
youtube
Demonschool
In This game you do tactical combat against a flurry of demons and build relationships with other characters. I had romances confirmed and well the trailer shows our main protagonist reaching for another woman’s hands. I also had confirmed there is some side stuff that isn’t the main character Faye with someone so there may be some canon sapphic stuff that isn’t just player directed and optional. This is a tactical RPG with shin megami tensei flare but doesn’t play like any other SRPG I’ve played even SMTs own SRPG, Devil Survivor. This game is heavily focused on unit placement and doing things in really tight deadlines. I hope they have an easy mode or something in the full release because I utterly love the social sim elements here and would love a bit more room to fuck up. On the sapphic end the roster seems to have tons of cute girls even outside of the probably intended to be canon romance girl there is a haughty rich girl who seems like a perfect enemies to lovers arc and a cool delinquent girl, there is a lot of range for a lot of dynamics but we’ll have to see how all of those systems work on release.
Long Story 2
A very kid friendly visual novel type experience. It’s cute, it’s sweet, it’s simple and it’s the kind of soft story you can get excited about if you just want something wholesome to enjoy. You really Get to craft your story so it's very craft it yourself.
Moonlight Peaks
We really do not have a ton of details but it’s likely to release in 2026 since that’s when they said it would and have have a pretty strong publisher in Marvlous behind it. This is one of the most exciting farming sims I've seen. You play as a vampire and unlock new vampiric powers over time. It looks as if there will be 7 women who are different kinds of super natural for you to romance in this. Also an interesting talked about feature is the werewolf romance options might shift in personality a little on a full moon and stuff like that which makes for a neat way to push for a different vibe in a farming sims cast.
youtube
Monster Prom 4: Monster Con
The 4th game in the monster prom series, the potentially PVP dating sim is back at it again with more goofs, new monsters to fawn over and a new setting. If you're fiending for more Monster Prom, Camp or Road Trip then you already are gonna be grabbing this but if you're new to hearing about this series or finally wanting to check it out because one of the characters designs it’ll be an exciting jumping on point. Romances are player focused, characters themselves though are canon queer sometimes having same gender exes and stuff. We have a canon queer trans woman as one of the main love interests this time so that is really excited and also a really cool set of two new women. If you come with a full party of lesbians as it stands you’ll have to fight over at least one girl given there is only 3 women to romance and 3 men but if your playing 3 players you can each aim for a different girl in a run if you want to avoid PVPing or simply play in single player for a chiller romance comedy vibe. This is a really silly game series that is all about the bits but there is a lot of good stuff even outside of the comedy.
Arcadia Fallen II
Arcadia Fallen 2 is the follow up to Arcadia Fallen. The first game let you be sapphic and this game probably will also let you be sapphic as well. I think it’s a safe bet, they say there will be 3 body type so probably the typical choice of He/She/They pronouns with a chose whatever body suits you best choice. This should be a choose your own adventure style visual novel with a magical setting and while I haven’t played the first yet, I am keeping my eyes on this one’s kickstarter to see where it goes. The artstyle is gorgeous and it’s always nice to see artists from across the world making games where you can be sapphic, in this case some awesome Danish devs.
youtube
Sensei! I Like You So Much!
This game bills itself as a fangirl simulator where you create your own favorite characters and geek out with fellow fans, take commissions and gather in community with others. My vine is this game will have no romance however, I feel compelled to bring it here because I mean you can be really into a lesbian ship and geek out with other women who are really into a lesbian ship or so it seems from the trailer. Obviously, like any of these I only have whatever the devs have said and whatever I see in trailers, screen shots, etc to go off of but it looked like you could make a girl and it looks like in the trailer they made yaoi so I am gonna guess you can make yuri. So, here we go, it’s sapphic but like, different than other sapphic games, probably, I’d personally be way more into romancing a fellow fan of something than a lot of other concepts for a dating sim so I’d love to be wrong and there is some secret dating sim element.
Reanimation Scheme
It’s an Otome visual novel where you can date four men but also there is one sapphic wrote. I hate these kind of gender rations but hey, this exist, it’s upcoming, you should know about it, maybe it’s written super good. The art style is solid and if you like the design of the exactly one woman you can date in the game you can prep for some sapphic fun even if a lot of your time in the game will be interacting with men, You play as a Necromancer which is always really cool and ya, enjoy.
youtube
The Crush House This is a reality show managing sim with a spooky mystery. It’s like putting you managing the sims lives in context where you try and push people to behave particular ways based on audience demands and what you feel like. You can make women be gay with each other and even run a show for Girls for Girls audiences and stuff so there is a lot cooking here for a silly and strange little game.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Dragon Age, a little known indie series from abusive publisher EA from Abusive company Bioware now potentially hanging onto it’s last chance for life with a brand new game. Dragon Age is a fantasy roleplaying game where the people who look like lesbians are straight and the people who look straight are lesbians at least that’s the classic Bioware flavor. This time though, unlike these other games, an actual queer woman is the director [after like 4 directors left] and she seems like a really cool person with good taste so I want her to be successful and for this game to not crash Bioware into the dirt like so many other studios under EA. You’ll likely be able to make a character of one of two genders and have them fill a role in this plot. We know that every character will be pansexual in the game meaning you’ll be able to romance anyone and if you don’t romance characters they will romance each other.
Grave Seasons
Like farming sims, like murder mysteries, want to make sweet sweet passionate kissy faces with a murderer? Then Grave Seasons might be the game for you. You do typical farming sim stuff but a randomly generated one of the NPCs that are romanceable. You need to figure out the mystery, if the hottie you're making heart eyes at is the killer and if they are what you wanna do about it. If it’s not you might want to find the killer and fast lest your cutie get taken out too. At least that’s what it sounds like to me. There should be several women you can romance and it seems like a fun game to replay and a farming sim that puts the romance at the front even for people who want to be efficient because well you don’t want a bunch of people dying do you [unless you do].
Freeride
So this one is really making your own gay cuz I do not think they gender proto and proto is just supposed to be a stand in for you but I flirted with a cool looking bunny girl in the demo and she seemed to be into the conductor who was a demon girl so like maybe it'll even be explicitly represented in this. It's hard to know with so few details but you can gift people stuff and everything. It's a physics based game mostly focused on choices and doing a secret personality test on you.
youtube
Fable
It looks like this Fable game just has you play as a woman, like I am just taking precedent here to say that romance to some extent will exist and you can in fact marry women. It be weird if you couldn’t so I’ll say that is very likely here. If you like RPGs with big budgets then this might be the one, it doesn’t seem to be as silly as some of the previous games but they weren’t always going for silly so I think the tone seems just about right.
Narrative Games
Cage of Roses
Lesbian vampires are always a good time. It's a visual about some lesbian vampires. You're in by the art style and visual novel or you're not. It sounds exciting to me.
Rainbow Valley
A game from yuri game developer and publisher Studio Elan. This is a collaboration with a monster high focused YouTuber and you can see the Monster High inspirations in the designs. I imagine this is really going to capture the vibes adult fans of monster high really have been wanting to explore while not being locked down by the big company.
Tithe In Blood
Another game from yuri game developer and publisher Studio Elan. This is a darker yuri story about a woman practicing blood magic after the loss of a loved one.The romance and blood magic lead to a lot of deadly twists and turns.
The Witch's Bakery
The Witch’s Bakery is a game coming to Kickstarter soon that’s about running a cozy bakery and being a little gay witch doing it. This game is coming to kickstarter at some point in the near future at the time of writing. It has a canon romance so I don’t think you’ll be picking who you swoon and instead you’ll get to play out a soft little love story while you bake, run a shop and make friends.
youtube
Lost Records
Life is Strange and Tell Me Why Developers are back with a new game and the first trailer had the main four women of this plot kissing so it’s gay, that’s like locked in it’s not even like Life Is Strange 1 optional gay it’s just gonna be gay. It seems like a nostalgia trip featuring a bunch of sapphic women in the lead and that seems like the most perfect game for Dontnods main audience.
Cabernet
A gothic vibe lays over this game, it tickles at horror while also not being terrifying, you are the vampire newly created and enter this society. This is another one that might be more of a Make your Own Gay but it’s vampires and that’s inherently gay so I gotta put it here. I had the devs confirm to me that this game will include gay romance and you can have your girl read Carmilla so as far as I am concerned I think her sexuality has a decent shot at being part of the narrative and not just an option.
Tavern Talk
This is a game inspired by exclusively other queer games in the same style of those queer games, I am gonna say it’s safe to guess this is a soft little queer game that will take you through an interesting narrative perspective all while mostly being behind a bar and making drinks for people.
Psychroma
This is a horror game with what seems to be a queer non binary protagonist but it may not be all sunny and rainbows, for sure prepare yourself for angst. The protagonist has amnesia and doesn’t remember who seems to be her girlfriend. This is a cyberpunk horror which is shockingly not a super standard combination despite the clear synergy between the two. It has a sapphic energy, it’s always hard to draw the line on a non binary character and if their sapphic or not before you get the context because well that’s a massive umbrella of genders, identities and feelings. Still the vibe test for me passes as sapphic and I am here to tell you about vibes, that’s the point of this series, I have an extremely high success rate and so I will take the shot here. If you're looking for something creepy and queer then this is for sure it even if the sapphic vibes are a false flag.
Life is strange: Double Exposure
IDK if they’ll make Max and Chloe canon here or how they will right around it but also like the game studio making this game has a bunch of like allegations against them so I don’t particularly care too much. I do want to find out so I will look around for details but ya know I mentioned Lost Records earlier maybe look to that one instead if these come out around the same time at least. Otherwise, idk you do dialog and stuff in this one and mess with timelines. It does look like Chloe is dead so, you could go to your local library and read Life Is Strange: After The Storm for free instead, a possible suggestion too.
Love Ghostie
Your a lil ghostie and you play match maker and you can make little sapphic pairings so, ya you can make sapphic stuff happen in this game and it’s like part of the point. It’s a very adorable game with very adorable little monsters and looks to be a great game to cuddle up and just live your best shipping life.
Sigh of the Abyss Sigh of the Abyss is doing something really cool in the visual novel space and it’s bringing a feature I’ve wanted in games with mix gender romance for a long time to the table. You can in your options at any time say your looking to romance Men, Men and Women, Women or no one. In the game you play as a woman and the game defaults you to being bisexual but you can actually have it where the game simply does not have men push romance on you which is such a relief because it’s one of the world part of mix gendered dating games for me is being here for the women but having to be flirted with by every man and never able to say “Hey, I’m a lesbian.” How deep these options will go I am not sure but it was really swift in easy in the demo. If you're looking for some dark fantasy story telling this seems like an exciting place to go for a story.
High Potential
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2
I mean it’s got vampires and roleplaying like probably. Maybe it'll be too uptight and serious but we'll see what it's like.
Sorry We're Closed
The games listed as LGBT and the main characters on the art and stuff are women so pretty clear. It’s a horror adventure and it seems really aesthetically unique, I think this is one to keep your eyes on it might just be a big new thing.
RPG Maker WITH
I mean it just depends on if people make a sapphic game in it and share it. It's like a game about making games. There's a good chance someone will want to make Yuri but also I wouldn't expect it near launch.
Ra Ra Boom
There is a vibe here, it's a beat um up which is a kind of game not famous for it's story but idk the vibe tells me these super cheerleaders are gay. That’s all I got to say really, it looks fun and if it’s gay bonus points to me.
Fighting Games
So Fighting games are hard to cover on this because fighting game devs are cowards an also don't make their narratives compelling and their mostly about men with women relegated to the sides. I love fighting games though and I don't want to ignore them so I put just a general pin on potential sapphic characters dropping in 2024. Like Skullgirls recently added Marie who has some queer coding with Peacock and she's like a main villain so there's stuff. Guilty Gear Has a season 4 coming out which could add a story expansion and idk confirm Bridget is a lesbian. Granblue's next characters are likely datamined but there is a chance of a suprise appearance and many likely candidates are sapphic characters. Plus a new game might come out, maybe Diesel Legacy will have the cool mobster girl be a lesbian, we just won't know util stuff comes out.
gillford academy
This is an rpg putting a lot of emphasis on your choices mattering with characters. The characters are pretty young but there is a chance they might be sapphic at least in a if player chooses the right choices way.
Mixtape
I think I saw a gay moment in this trailer. It's like 90s nostalgia the game, I have no idea how it’s supposed to play. I assume it's kinda standard narrative 3D gameplay which I think is always a pleasant time. I don’t know a ton about this game but I am keeping my eyes on it in the future that’s for sure.
---
If you enjoyed this post and want to help me do the level of research I put into these please, please, please consider funding me on Patreon or giving me a one time donation over on Ko-fi. I am a writer for a living so that means being professionally poor and any bit of money really helps so much. Every dollar helps me make new sapphic art myself from making TTRPGs to working on my own game project and lots more. If you don’t have cash following me, sharing, etc is always lovely and I love nice comments.
There should be more of these in the future. I couldn’t fit every single game I saw with potential or even straight up confirmed into here so I am hoping to make this more regular maybe even pivot to video and do game by game chats or something. We'll see what the future holds but I hope you found at least one new game to look forward to.

Bit late getting it up, but better late than never. Obviously the normal Tuesday stream didn't happen. That's because I had scheduling conflicts. Tomorrow, we continue playing Sunbreak with Buck and AFDNZ. We skip Thursday because I want one day just for me and Toga. Over the weekend, we continue the games we started this last weekend! More Valhalla and more Sword! I hope to see you all then!

"We're talking low prices."
It's Alecto, in her favorite t-shirt that she never got to wear from another life! I do hope there's still some Nona in her somewhere, but I also fully support her on her quest for revenge. Come on, Barbie-- let's go party.
#the locked tomb#tlt spoilers#tlt alecto#alecto the ninth#tlt fanart#her body shape isn't exactly barbie#but I decided that it would be hot if alecto looked like she could snap me in half like a crisp italian breadstick#also the sword was totally just referenced from a picture of narsil from the lotr movie trilogy#she is also using it against a dark lord necromancer really#my art

Day 30- Sword of the Necromancer
Sword- The Changing Guard
The air is now heavy with the scent of decaying leaves. Autumn has arrived. A traveler, seemingly invisible to those around her, stops wordlessly. She drags her sword through the earth, ripping open a portal to the afterworld. Ghosts pour through for their seasonal wanderings. The time of swords is over, and the time of spirits has arrived.
******
Thank you all so much again for following along and participating this Swordtember! I had so much fun this year and I loved seeing all of your contributions. Thank you all for making this month so special! I'm looking forward to next year already!
Now onwards to Halloween. ; )

Sword Of The Necromancer Review
Tama and Koko were brought together by fate, Tama wanted to rob Koko’s temple and Koko needed someone to take her on an adventure. The two agreed to work together and travel on a pilgrimage but things went wrong and Koko died, Tama who grew deep feelings for Koko watched her die in her arms without ever telling her she loved her. So Tama does something desperate, she enters a dungeon and takes the Sword of The Necromancer doing anything to get the power to bring back her beloved no matter what it costs her.
This is a beautiful love story told through flashbacks, it’s not a spoiler that both women are lesbians but you learn the extent of their feelings, their relationship, and more through flashbacks Tama experiences as she kills bosses in the dungeon. It’s a really gripping story and you know the conclusion to their tragic love story right from the start but you learn that it is in fact gay and get to see how these feelings formed through gameplay. Just gonna throw our a spoiler that I think for many will be required for them to be interested and it is an unbury your gays story. There is a way to get a happy ending for these two, what it looks like, what the costs are, etc, that’s for you to find out but the lesbians are together in the end.
The gameplay has a load of ways to customize it to what you might find the most fun in terms of difficulty. For me it was turning everything to the most player friendly modes and really just being able to play a lot more laid back and I still had several deaths in my runs throughout the game but the challenge was a lot more manageable for me than if I hadn’t done so. There is a forging system, I hoarded my materials for the end and I didn’t regret it but they maybe would want to make more compelling reasons to forge items and stuff. For the most part I preferred summons until my end game build where I didn’t use any and had fully upgraded all my item slots although I still didn’t have enough to make every upgrade the maximum level of upgrade.
Regardless of the upgrade system, the monsters you get leveling up over time is a lot of fun, you get this slight monster tamer vibe but with permadeath for the monsters but an intended feeling of being able to let them die since they hit max level pretty fast and they probably aren’t randomly rolling the most optimal build ever. There is a lot of little systems to play with and engage with as far as you want to and a lot of room for the player to express themselves with weapons, items, summons and builds. It’s a game where the player can really shine in the ways they take Tama forward.
The flow of runs is pretty nice, you run through the dungeon, clear as much as you can, get the key, open the key, fight the boss, kill the boss, open the door, get a flashback. It’s a pretty solid gameplay flow with after you beat a boss unlocking the next floor and not having a need to do all the bosses in one run. When you lose in your settings you get to decide how much you lose. I personally enjoyed not losing a ton of stuff but if you set yourself to lose things you could leave the dungeon after every boss cleared and store items you want to keep for the future.
Really this game is something special, I am not lavishing the game with detailed praise only in so much that there is a small amount of story and while it’s all really good I don’t want to just tell you everything. Politically I think the game is simple but good, Queer rep wise, amazing, organic and sweet and clearly looking at what the community wants and really wanted at the time which was a way to undo the tragic love stories we’ve been fed. Pacing wise, it’s really gonna depend on how good you are at the game and how hard you make it on yourself. Sometimes I’d go story beat to story beat pretty fast clearing boss after boss but other times I’d take a while between them but overall the game only took me about 7 hours [I did look at some things and play on the easiest settings] so for me the pacing felt really nice for the amount of time between story bits. Also because they were predictable and rewatchable I could plan around what I was multitasking to make sure I could give the flashbacks the proper amount of attention and could even share them with my own girlfriends.
The presentation is really great too, I love the sprite art, the art style in general is pretty and I love the little CGs in the cutscenes. Obviously if they had unlimited budget little animated scenes would like be a dream but this is an indie game from an indie team, the CGs are great and there is a lot of them too, like they didn’t cheap out. The monster designs are really cute and fun and they're nice to collect and fight. The animations for the most part are really functional and work for the combat. There was no lag for me or anything and the flow felt great. The systems are simple at face but there is a lot of room to express even just in movement and in the weapons you chose.So I think the presentation is fantastic. This game is sitting among my favorites of all time. If I did a new list I think this would be for sure in the top 25 maybe in the top 10. It really is a masterpiece and one I really don’t have a lot of points i can knock against it, it’s got some flaws sure and I imagine those matter more at higher difficulty like the summoned monster AIs being a little bad but this game is like a 9/10 to me which if you know me is ridiculously high given I give games in my top 10 lower scores. Love the fuck out of this game.
If I got you interested in the game the developers are in fact working on a remake of this game in a low poly art style and some system level improvements to help fund their sequel so I totally recommend you check out those projects as well. They are Sword Of The Necromancer: Resurrection and Sword Of The Necromancer: Revenant respectively with resurrection coming out soon this summer.
And if you enjoyed this review you can support me making my own sapphic art and get early access to some posts like this over on Pateron or if you wanna leave a one time donation you can hit me up on Ko-fi.

when nico goes necromancing and the spirit he is trying to raise has chosen rebirth does he get a disconnected tone? like when you're trying to call a number that's out of service. or does hades make some sort of living dead intern up to inform him "we're sorry you have reached out for a soul that has been reborn or is no longer in Hades. If you feel this is in error, please check the grave found, and please try again". imagine it's your first day in the lord of the unliving's palace and the skeleton crew nominates you to go inform the prince his sister can no longer be reached and you get obliterated into a pile of bone dust.
#if hades gets pissed can he just turn off nico's number?#nico busting open the palace doors: father!! did you take me off the family plan!?#hades: i told you you'te grounded!! you can have your necromancing abilities back when your sword skills improve!#pjo#nico di angelo

I need to build a nice portfolio, and I need to take my art to the next level I need to draw more backgrounds and complex scenes, this is still simple but I need to get used to draw stuff like this.

y'know, probably because i hate simple power dynamics a lot, but i really love how weird and complicated power dynamics are in tlt.
like, in gtn, harrow makes the assumption that coronabeth is "the dominant" in her relationship with ianthe, but we as the audience know that ianthe has power over her because of coronabeth's secret, and coronabeth often ends up coming across as more submissive in her interactions with ianthe.
harrow holds a significant amount of power over gideon, but gideon also holds more power over her than she herself is aware of, because all of gideon's actions affect harrow.
john is the most powerful character in the entire series, but his personality is so docile and non-confrontational that even as god, he's more likely to obey than demand.
then, and thank you tamsyn muir so much for writing them the way you did, there's characters like cam and pal, who seem to have no power dynamic at all. they're equals. camilla obeys palamedes, but not because she has to, rather because their goals almost always align. palamedes takes camilla's advice and supports her in any way he can, not because he's afraid of her or she holds power over him, but rather because he trusts her to know what to do. they work as one.
that's why paul can exist as the perfect lyctor, because they're made up of two souls working together, rather than one soul consuming or suppressing another.
#with that being said#i do still think that if jalecto acheives perfect lyctorhood alecto's soul is still gonna be a bit stronger than john's#but y'know what? to me that's how it should be.#that as a power dynamic feels natural.#just like camilla and palamedes becoming one feels like the right thing for them#john becoming just a part of alecto seems like the perfect end for him.#oh also somewhat relevant to this post: the general idea of the cavalier/necromancer dynamic is so interesting#technically the necromancer holds the power. but the cavalier IS the power.#the sword and the hand that wields it etc etc#also necromancers being physically weaker and often smaller#whereas cavaliers literally have to be strong for their job#creates another interesting dynamic#the locked tomb#tlt#tlt spoilers#gtn spoilers#htn spoilers#ntn spoilers#paul tlt#palamedes sextus#camilla hect#gideon nav#harrowhark nonagesimus#ianthe tridentarius#coronabeth tridentarius#john gaius
