she haunts the narrative. to me

[ID: Pen-on-paper lineart of Penelope from Ulysses Dies at Dawn. Penelope is a thin Black woman in her 30s or 40s. she wears small, round glasses and her hair is in thick, loose braids with two pigtails draped over her shoulders. she sits on the grass and leans against the trunk of a large oak tree. she is relaxed and reading a book. penelope is wearing a trenchcoat and a skirt that ends just above her knees. she is barefoot. she smiles softly as she studies the book. End ID]

ough for real tho i need more people to talk about penelope bc she is just so crunchy. interesting

#she is the driving force behind the narrative! but also she never existed within it in the first place!#she drove the lives of everyone in the story whether they knew it or not but she was dead the whole time!#we know nothing about her except that #she was ulysses’ wife #she died #and she was never in the acheron #and that’s so much! that is so much to happen to someone! but we don’t even know who she was!#anyways #the mechanisms #my art #the mouse squeaks #ulysses dies at dawn #udad #penelope udad #fanart #the mechanisms fanart #ulysses dies at dawn fanart
