Leigh Bardugo with darkling

writers say “kill your darlings,” but what they don’t tell you is you’ll mourn those darlings for the rest of your life and bring them back in a slightly altered form in your next project.

No mourners. No funerals.

Genya Safin from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

She has been my fave ever since I first read the book so I don't know what took me so long to draw her 💛

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. - Rebound in 2023

I really need to get to working on Crooked Kingdom one day.

[evellynssocbrainrot]

This is beautiful!!!

Honestly, the talent in this fandom is insane!!!

2021's gingerbread build was the Crow Club from Six of Crows. 😁

By my standard this is a pretty simple build. It's just two houses (see my page for this year's big tree with houses in it for a comparison lol). Next to the sugarpaste Crows it's also populated by some DnD figurines from a build from a previous year. Let's just pretend they're masked revellers. 😉

What you need to understand is that all the things I've ever been obsessed with ever since I was a little girl are actually in conversation with/inspired by each other.

AKA the literary equivalent of the Habsburg family tree (It really explains how a lot of these guys come off as very similar even though the authors have never heard of each other e.g. Gen Queensthief and Lymond. It's because they share like 98% of their DNA and can be traced to 2 common ancestors. Captive Prince is basically that one guy who was so inbred he needed to eat through a straw because he couldn't open his jaw, and I say this in the most affectionate way possible.)

I'm pretty sure lots of these people have also been inspired by Dumas and Sabatini, but I can't find them saying so on record (only Lynn Flewelling cited Sabatini among her influences).

Other common influences that I didn't include because either I've never been more than lukewarm on them or because they're a cultural milestone everyone's read are Tolkien (obviously), Shakespeare (obviously), Mary Renault, Arthur Conan Doyle, Anne Rice, and obviously the Odyssey, the inventor of the guile hero. Other books inspired by these that I didn't include because I've never been more than lukewarm on them include Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, Cassandra Claire's entire opus, Christopher Ruocchio's Sun Eater, Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora (which I remember liking a lot when I was reading them, but I don't remember anything about them currently), and Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series. And also a million Star Wars and ASOIAF copycats I guess. Thought I might list them anyway in case somebody used this as a reclist. Some rando on Reddit said that Martin cited Dunnett as one of his influences but I can't find where he said that? All I've found was an ancient forum post where he says he never read them.

*Pacat has cited ASOIAF as an influence on her Dark Rise books, which I haven't read, but I included it nonetheless.

Also the arrow between Kay and Graves should be in the opposite direction but I can't be arsed to fix it lol

Grishaverse text posts based on things my friends and I have actually said. In real life.

Part 34

Matthias: I reckon if sawdust was edible I’d actually really like it

(Just to add to the scene, Jesper is draped over Wylan’s shoulders)

Nina: We only have mild cheddar, is that okay?

Jesper: That’s the only one he likes

Wylan: That’s perfect, thanks Nina, and for your information Jesper I prefer extra mature

Jesper: Isn’t that too spicy for you?

Nina, Jesper, and Wylan: *invent entire band and lore around dinosaur shaped pasta. Jesper plays drums, Wylan plays flute, Nina plays violin. It’s relevant to know none of us actually play these instruments/haven’t touched them since childhood*

(Jesper, Nina, and Wylan are playing Mario Party at Wylan’s and Wylan is crushing them both)

Jesper: You’re cheating

Wylan: I’m not cheating!! It’s impossible to cheat!

Nina: I’m suspicious

Marya: I’m going to the store, do you need anything whilst I’m out?

Wylan: I don’t think so, do you need me to do anything here whilst you’re gone?

Nina and Jesper as Wylan continues to win: WYLAN!!!

Marya, laughing: I need you to get worse at Mario Party whilst I’m gone

(In the same game)

Jesper: The CPU hates me. It’s targeting me on purpose

Wylan: It’s just random

(The CPU gets a power up against someone and instead of clicking random like it usually does it directly chooses Jesper)

Jesper: WHAT

Wylan and Nina: *die of laughter*

[lilisouless]

Jesper: Hey Wy, I was thinking on what you said and decided to take an art course, so we have more talk about

Wylan: that’s amazing

Jesper: and i want to paint you for my project, but i would need you to be still

Wylan: yeah, i can absolutely model

Jesper: model?

————

Wylan: not exactly what I think you meant by “painting me”

Jesper painting a monster face over Wylan: when this dries you turn around, i have an idea for two volcanoes

Wylan: I better not be allergic to this paint
