#The Witness for the Dead

[eggcats]

In my opinion, the funniest thing is reading The Goblin Emperor and meeting Thara Celehar, who acts like he's fucking ancient and ready to die of old age, and then you get to The Witness for the Dead and you find out this bitch is like, 30 years old

I think thara is using his vow of poverty as an excuse to deprive himself tbh he’s like noooo prelats are supposed to be poor… so i can’t accept any gifts….. or new coats… unless my old coat is literally destroyed by ppl who tried to kill me… and I don’t need a real bed I can sleep on a couch just fine !!! and i need to never tell people when im uncomfortable and i need to walk off traumatic events like theyre nothing. Cuz if my vows . Meanwhile literally no other prelate is doing this shit 😭

Thinking about this parallel from The Cemeteries of Amalo:

The Witness for the Dead (p. 8):

The Tomb of Dragons:

Thara and Iäna from The Cemeteries of Amalo series.

The last book comes out next month, and I need to know that Thara is sleeping and eating well lol.

please read the witness for the dead because the protagonist is a priest and a crime investigator AND a zombie hunter. he's dirt poor. he carries his guilt like a little package. he feeds his neighborhood cats. he's so tired. he daily drinks his body weight in tea. he's put on trial by ordeal. he's even gay

I enjoy being practiced enough in fandom that I can happily hold the "whee new canon fun" position and the "fuck new canon, I acknowledge only what I want to acknowledge" position at exactly the same time.

More cakes, or something

"That's a terrible color on you."

"I will remember not to wear it again. Thank you for your help."

Time to put that depressed elf in more situations! Higher quality version of the portrait (and also the really good hand that the text box covers >:( man...) below!

[lordofnowhere-art]

every once in a while I think about how Celehar is basically like a noir detective
