"Finally, I have a free day to catch up on all these lectures I missed. I will definitely take lots of notes and not use this time to draw General White and Cinders from the beloved Mechanisms album Once Upon a Time in Space" He said, like a liar

I love the facial expressions and emotions that were given to these characters so much! It gives them so much life!

i never was quite happy with the way i drew general white's burn scars from the anderson, but thanks to this lovely tutorial i was able to wrap my head around it better !! honestly i really like how this turned out,,, i'd say this is fairly early on, after she's... more or less recovered. like she's not actively wounded, y'know?

most people don't see her like this, she has a mask she wears at work along with high collar shirts and a hat. mercymourn cordelia white claims that snow is dead, but snow's vanity doesn't go away that easily. maybe i'll draw her morning routine sometime

(also hiiii i'm still making things!! i'm just fully in the weeds of no such thing as heroes, because apparently i can't just write a normal amount of words for a cinderrose backstory fic. i'm also working on a pump shanty fic, hence the general white!!!! this one will be shorter. it's only a ~20k word oneshot compared to what's looking to be over 100k...)

Due keep in mind, that Admiral Bobbery is still the one who would kick your ass hands down in a fight

I wrote a fic where General White tells Colonel Belle who she really is <3

Shoutout to the one person who voted for this one in the poll-- as it turns out, that 100 words was all I needed to finish the first draft!

Ok it's probably a consequence of the media I'm used to consuming and the fact that I'm in my 20s, but I didn't expect Rose Red, Snow/General White, and probably Cinders too, to be in their 50s. Their resistance sounds like something out of a YA novel.

Writing ETTS and realizing everyone in this military base is horrid at their jobs. like Snow has the single brain cell nobody else has any idea what the fuck they’re doing.

These Crisp Li’l Cannoneers say: “Cannon? What cannon? Is no cannon in Fahr Outpost. Only snow and trees. Nyet.” 🥶💣🎖️

General Mercymourn "Mercy" White, leader of the paramilitary operation dedicated to taking down King Cole, is a controversial figure even within her own organization. Hers is the only revolution to come even close to succeeding in ending 2,000 years of oppression and it is only by descending to depths of cruelty and brutality unmatched by any except His Majesty himself. Do the ends justify the means? Is this heroism? Is she a legend or a monster? Some believe the answer to these questions lies in the fact of who she used to be, an impossible task as she has been scarred beyond recognition and the name "Mercymourn White" only exists in records made after she began her war.

As for why the name Mercymourn, well the watsonian answer is that General White needed a first name to throw some of the scent off of Snow. Initially she considered Cordelia, but with the amount of news coverage of the SS Anderson explosion and the death of Captain Cordelia White of the HMSS Huntsman it was too much of a risk to associate with that event. Besides, she looked nothing like the original Cordelia White even after the scars. So, with Cinders' help she invented a new name in the style of Perraultan (Cinders' planet's) noble families, one that has never existed before. The name Mercymourn was picked because she mourns the goodness and mercy she had fought so hard for in her youth. It's also a delicious irony to have people call her "Mercy" when she gives none. Plenty of space for a few jokes as well to bring some levity to dark times.

The doylist answer is that it's an extremely self indulgent name. I enjoy the locked tomb series a normal amount (<- blatantly lying) and in particular am obsessed with the name Mercymorn. Combined with my love of the "morning/mourning" dichotomy, well, General White gets the highest of honors for characters I flesh out: a cool as hell name :3 Also the thematic implications are just so fun to poke around with.

Anyways. I am soooo normal about General White come closer.

You say "The Great Hunt" in reference to Wheel of Time. I say it in reference to a bomb with fucking facial hair. We are not the same.
