So did anyone else read The Left Hand of Darkness and notice that Genly and Harth show up in Breath of the Wild as Rito? Or was that just me?

This’ll be followed by many sketches I will post together because BOY have I been busy
I got every shrine and was graced with Kass’s presence in Rito Village where he (adorably) plays music with his girls! So naturally, I had to draw it

Eyelashes frozen shut, thawed with a kiss.
A while back @aurpiment made a comment about Genly and Estraven based on The Kiss, as a concept. And? Fellas, I had to
#the left hand of darkness#genly ai#therem harth rem ir estraven#my art#fellas is it gay to travel 80 days across the ice with your not yet friend and then kissing his eyelid?#well? is it?#I’m really pleased with this actually even tho I wish I could make it look more painterly

“It is a terrible thing, this kindness that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give.”
Genly Ai, Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Left Hand of Darkness"

Sometimes when I see 'ai' here I get excited because I think it is my silly always chilly guy, Genly Ai from the 1969 novel The Left Hand of Darkness, but no, it is generative AI, my enemy in the least fun way possible.
