Why does no one draw Sophie’s knuckle scars or star scar on her hands in fanart??????? Just saying

[art-isnt-arting]

best lodestar moment imo

[mallowmelt-down]

I really wish that Sophie was a pyrokinetic because the plot has SO much potential.

The Ruewens would have to get over their fear of fire and anger towards pyrokinetics (imagine them finding Sophie asleep while engulfed in flames and all they can think of is Jolie). Sophie would need to get over her own trauma with fire because of her kidnapping and seek training from the Neverseen with Brant and Fintan (pre-Lodestar). Dex would need to face his own trauma as well because he wants to be there for his best friend. Fitz would have to face the fact that Sophie was a bad match for him and they might lose the ability to be cognates. If she got the ability later, the Council might have kicked her off of Team Valiant or reconsidered the ability restricter. Oralie would have to address her anger towards pyrokinetics and trauma from Kenric’s death while trying to support her daughter. Sophie would also gain an interesting perspective from having the most hated ability and possibly start to understand the Neverseen, especially Fintan given his backstory, a little better (which would terrify her.) Bonus points if the ability was an accident and the Black Swan didn’t plan for it.

The pure angst of it all would have been so cool to read.

Kotlc Sir Astin fanart

The reason why he is bleeding is because when one of the Forkle twins died, Sir Astin kinda died too.

Livvy art work for @camelspit’s KotLc best character competition

OOC:

guys I was just walking through the streets of the city I live in (in france) and well I saw this shop that is soon gonna open...

Dont mind me on the photo, the important thing is:

"Le cygne noir" which is the French name for the blackwan.

Coincidence? I think not

So I have a theory. Everything in kotlc is real and the black swan is starting to migrate in the forbidden cities so that they can keep an eye on humans.

Which is why they opened a shop in France...

[winwin17]

I guess this speaks to how powerful of a Telepath Gethen is, if it took all of even Mr. Forkle's mental energy to hold him back! All the more reason for Gethen to be a potential suspect for being Sophie's bio dad.

Thought of the day: What ever happened with Tinker? Like, who is she? Where did she go? Why doesn't she like fire or weapons? And who even are the other two members of the Black Swan's Collective (Wraith and Blur)???

I feel like there's way too much stuff left in the series that just can't be covered in the 10th book. I need answers, Shannon!

[brontekotlcyan]

Do you know what's weird.

When Prentice's mind was being fixed (very private thing) right..?

Why was the entire council half the Vacker family a load of black Swan people and the friend group in the room?!?!?

It should have been Wylie, Tiergan, Sophie, Keefe and three Councillor's. Thats it.

AND they all stayed when Wylie and Prentice were crying in each others arms for hours?!?!

GIVE THEM SOME PRIVACY LADS

[radicaltorque]

So what is even the point of the whole “elves lives start at the inception date” thing? Like what does that even add?

[art-isnt-arting]

Sophie is the gun.

They both reached for the gun.

The Black Swan and the Neverseen.

The Vackers and the Ruewens.

Mr. Forkle and Lady Gisela.

Fitz and Keefe.

Jolie and Amy.

Edaline and Oralie.

Foxfire and Exillium.

The Collective and the Council.

The Lost Cities and the Forbidden Cities.

They all reached for the gun.

Follow the pretty bird across the sky…

Jolie’s story was so tragic and I think she deserves more art.

I always swear that I’m done drawing fire but then I remember it’s KOTLC, which is filled with arson😅

[daggernamedhope]

I want to punch the Black Swan in the face too

I am really glad we are getting a more critical perspective on the Black Swan's choices. I know they're supposed to be the good guys but they have some serious ethical failings when it comes to Sophie and she is wayyyyyy too forgiving. Even when she tries to draw boundaries with them, like re setting her inflicting ability, she always goes along with their plans and puts her trust in forkle, and he doesn't deserve it. So yay Keefe for finally saying what needed to be said about them!
