Now that Star Wars: The Acolyte is on our screens, you might be interested in some further reading to discover more about the High Republic era the show takes place in.

I might be a little biased, seeing as I provided art direction and project management on it, but I would recommend The High Republic Character Encylopedia, for the job as it's crammed full of fan favourites from the books, comics, games and shows already available in this time period of the galaxy far far away and a great way to see where it all started!

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to study English literature A-level in an all girls sixth form with a young teacher then just know that once (and this is a few years ago now) my teacher played the “If the men find out we can shapeshift they’re going to tell the Church!!” video and then asked us what about the video we could apply to studying The Handmaid’s Tale

so lyctors are infertile yes? at least mercy appears to be, and it's strongly implied that the reason is her lyctorhood. all necromancers are known to struggle w fertility (see: harrow's parents) which iirc is bc of their link to death, so i'm guessing actually having an ever-dying/ever-living soul combo meal is not to the benefit of conception.

the reason this matters to me is that anastasia (who, as a post by @ferretsarefurryappendagedsnakes brought up, is NOT listed as a saint to serve the king undying in the htn opening) did have children. she's harrow's direct ancestor, hence alecto king-konging her at the end of nona. she is the only lyctor we know of to have living descendants. now the details on exactly what the lyctoral timeline was post-resurrection are murky, but i do imagine it taking less than their natural lifespans for all the lyctors to ascend and anastasia to fail. that means anastasia's line has been around for 10,000 years, give or take - ~400 generations. For context, the Western Roman Empire fell 60-70 generations ago. For her to still have living descendants (especially with the known fertility rate of necromancers and the fact that necromancy appears to be inherited, at least in part) is absurd. it's ridiculous to think harrow's the only descendant - i mean, even being mega-conservative about birth rates, there could be dozens, if not hundreds. some of the babies from the genocide might well have been the blood of anastasia.

it must be fucking insane for the lyctors to see harrow, to have lived with her for months. she's supposedly the spit of anastasia. 10,000 years, 400 generations, and she's right there.

basically i'm desperate for someone (ideally alecto, bc it's totally in character for her) to have a QoTD Great Family moment and realise exactly how long 10,000 years is for people and how many of anastasia's descendants are alive. maybe some of them even escaped the nine houses? idk, it just makes me emotional and i want it to make THEM emotional

The fucking “Dipper and Mabel are actually Ford’s and Bill’s children” AU is funny as fuck because it implies that not only are their adopted parents getting divorced but their fucking biological parents are divorced too like dawg

Proud to see The DC Book of Pride out on the shelves this month! Even just 5 years ago, I couldn't have imagined getting to create a book like this, so it's wonderful to have played a role in project managing, art directing and picture researching this fabulous title! Hope you'll get a chance to thumb through a copy soon and learn all about this colourful collection of DC comics characters!
