coincidentally, the last panel is what their brains end up looking like after all the stress they put them through over the course of the book

Tennal telling Surit it’s ok for them to fraternize even though he’s Surit’s direct chain of command because “it’s outside working hours” babygirl imma need you to reread the basics of workplace ethics

[tennalhin-halkana]

Istara’s been in my closet again 🙄

[bazypitchandsimonsnow]

I wish to G-d I had any artistic talent just so I could draw Tennal and Surit from "Ocean's Echo" in the Barbie mugshot meme because it'd be PERFECT

[unexpected-readings-of-poetry]

My girlfriend, reading the Ocean's Echo extra: oh my god i just realised - I'm reading Surit's lines in your Lan Zhan voice

Me: >:D

[azurish]

so you should go read Ocean's Echo

[draconicrose]

Ok so his hair is described as sandy but is there any reference to Surit's skin color? Because my brain refuses to think of him as white.

Tennal and Surit from Ocean’a Echo by Everina Maxwell!

I finished this book recently and absolutely loved it so I couldn’t resist doing some art. 😄

[giftedpoison]

I’ve been reading Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell (she is a queen at writing I love her. If you haven’t read her works, you need to. Her character’s specifically are my favorite) THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS READ AT YOUR OWN RISK But one of my absolute favorite things about Ocean’s Echo is the depiction of depression and self worth. And the way the sync functions within it because it reminds me a lot of what it feels like to read. Like I’ve read things where I cannot seperate whats happening to them and me. And how I will walk around with someone else’s thought patterns (not necessarily words) in my head because it became a part of me. For me that eventually wears off as long as i’m no longer reading. But I also use character playlists and stuff to sleep back into their mind occasionally to function within the world around me and it is so cool seeing that aspect of the human condition represented on the page. (although I would not imagine this was even remotely intentional. And if it was that’s absolutely insane craftsmanship because if i set out to do that i would wholly fuck it up but i digress) and anyway I didn’t have a point to this but I love the book so much. she’s really good at crafting very subtle but also very powerful underlying dark stories while the overall story still feels relatively light despite the darkness beneath. And I adore that.

hear me out ...

a friend and i went through our old music from a few years ago and we stumbled upon something.

"drown" by bring me the horizon is about tennal and surit. i can't scream enough about how much i need you to listen to this song. not only is it a masterpiece but it's so painfully accurately about tennal and surit, i couldn't believe it. see for yourselves

[Verse 1]

What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead

Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper, and I can't take

One more moment of this silence, the loneliness is haunting me

And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up

[Pre-Chorus]

It comes in waves, I close my eyes

Hold my breath and let it bury me

I'm not okay and it's not alright

Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?

[Chorus]

Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?

Save me from myself, don't let me drown

Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?

Save me from myself, don't let me drown

[Verse 2]

What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead

Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper, and I can't take

One more moment of this silence, the loneliness is haunting me

And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up

[Pre-Chorus]

It comes in waves, I close my eyes

Hold my breath and let it bury me

I'm not okay and it's not alright

Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?

[Chorus]

Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?

Save me from myself, don't let me drown

Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?

Save me from myself, don't let me drown

[Bridge]

'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own

('Cause you know that I can't do this on my)

[Outro]

Who will fix me now?

Who will fix me now?

Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?

Save me from myself, don't let me drown

// what a rollercoaster. nobody can convince me otherwise
