#the hanged man tts

[soupandsorcery]

I don't have anyone to scream to about reading the Tarot Sequence, so I'm just going to live blog under a cut before I explode.

Reading the second book, and Rune is already trying to keep shit from Brand. It's going as well as you'd expect. I already know the big thing he's hiding from him, and woof.

I love Quinn Saint Nicholas with my whole heart. If anything happens to him, I will burn this place to the ground.

Love Addam and his dramatic entrance to save the day. We love a competent pretty, rich boy. He's privileged, but not useless. Probably the only reason Brand lets him stick around, lbr. Still waiting on the three of them to kiss.

MAX!!!!! I was so meh about him when he was introduced in the first book because I don't care about teenagers in general, but this poor boy, I love him so much. The found family feelings are off the charts. I have so much love for Rune and Brand and Max and Quinn and Addam and Queenie forming this family. Rune and Brand and Max lost their families in one way or another. And Addam and Quinn have seen the worst parts of theirs. But they all deserve better and they're finding it together.

This is so entirely my shit.

I'm rereading TTS so ✨ memes ✨

The last meme is sponsored by Max Saint John

So in The Last Sun, Rune talks about how Adam can't be his tallah, and we find out why in The Hourglass Throne. The spoilers start here: what if both Brand and Adam are his tallas, the only way he and Brand connected for the first time was because in the future Adam would be there. Meaning Rune and Adam were always meant to, and always did, go back in time to that night. Runes tallah bond broke in the past with Brand because Adam and current Rune return to the current time.

Just some random thoughts while rereading the books.

THE AGONISED GAY THOUGHTS WONT STOP (about the tarot sequence and how the love i feel for the characters literally feels like my heart is being squeezed)

[marmelade-sky-reading]

on my reread (/-listen) of the Tarot Sequence rn and I hate Hate HATE the fact that Ciaran doesn't seem to fully trust the Tower, because I would trust Ciaran with my life.

Final thoughts on The Hanged Man below

can i get a resounding 'fuck the Hanged Man'?? (the character, not the book) because good fucking god. I hated him from the get go, but everything i learned about him just made him even worse.

Quinn is the MVP of this book! Everyone listen to Quinn forever.

The found family feelings with Max had me openly sobbing in my room because god. Also Max standing up for Quinn and getting the others to listen was amazing. I love them as a duo.

Lady Death was a huge bad ass, and it was really cool to see the other Arcana in action. Loved all the talks with Lord Tower and Rune and Mayan and Brand, and the family dynamic between Addam, Quinn, and Lord Tower.

I am still crossing my fingers that the OT3 might be end game because of the conversation Addam and Rune had and just how well Addam is learning how to read the two of them. I might have to write some fic.

I am...intrigued and a little confused about whatever is going on with Anna. It felt a little...I don't know how to describe it. Like the stakes were high enough without her having these fucky powers, so it was a little much for me. I think it started to get a little off the rails when she made Corinne a Companion so Addam could heal her. Like obviously I didn't want Corinne to die, but Anna had just broken a mass sigil curse to save Rune. The back to back-ness of it felt contrived to me personally. But I am down to see where it goes.

On that note, are we just not going to discuss that Rune basically died for a bit? Like at all?? Brand has nothing to say? No one's going to tell Addam?? I know they all had bigger fish to fry at that point, but like. Nothing??????? It feels a little like it was just there to show Anna's powers, which was cool, but you can't tell me Brand has no feelings about how that felt. Or that Addam wouldn't be pissed to not know about it.

Speaking of Addam, everyone's taking the whole he lost a hand thing very well. Including him. I mean. Yeah, there was no time to deal with it and Addam knew he was risking not being able to reattach the hand with the Healing spell, but I mean. Still pretty major.

Overall, I think the first book was better in terms of pacing and sheer Stuff Going On. But the second book gave me so many amazing character moments that I will forgive it its shortcomings.

I have to wait for book 3 to come in on Libby, but I already know Stuff goes down and it's going to be a ride.

DIASOMNIA

Malleus Draconia

"Oh? How bold of you to think you could capture my visage in a mere canvas."

He says with the goofiest smile imaginable（⌒▽⌒）

He's already summoning a chair to sit on

Very experienced with posing so it's a breeze

You have a nice chat about philosophy, gargoyles and culture while you draw him

When you're done he's fangirling internally

Asks if he can commission you to draw a portrait of the both of you tgt

Hangs it up in his room <3

Becomes a regular commissioner

Mostly gargoyles

10/10 honestly nothing bad to say he's lovely

Lilia Vanrouge

"Fufufu, I've been in thousands of portraits over the years, you'll have to try your hardest to really impress me~ No pressure though!"

100% pressure once again

The old bat man will probably be hanging from the ceiling no negotiating

So it's either you draw him upside down or get upside down too

If you choose the second option you best hope no one walks in on you cuz damn wtf

How are you doing that you aren't even using magic???

When you're finished he jumps down and looks and goes

"How nice! Art has truly evolved so much since the last time I had one done~"

Starts showing you some of the portraits he had before like he's showing you baby pics

One of them has him looking like those medieval babies TT

4/10 I can't explain why I'm not giving him a lower score he's just funky

Silver

"No problem. If I fall asleep you can just wake me up, I won't mind."

He doesn't have much experience in posing but he's a natural

He's lookin like a disney princess fr, animals have started gathering

You're having a pleasant chat abou-

Oop he fell asleep

You think about waking him up but like

He looks so peaceful and like he's not even really moving so-

By the time you're done he's probably up and he starts apologizing

Tbh it's Silver so it would've been beautiful whether he was awake or asleep

Bonus points if you include the woodland critters snuggling into him

Human anatomy AND animal anatomy practice!!

9/10 he tried his best and it did turn out well

Sebek Zigvolt

"I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS HUMAN! MY VALUABLE TIME IS SPENT GUARDING AND PROTECTING THE HONOUR OF THE GLORIOUS YOUN-"

once again someone kiss him and shut him up omg

Or actually just show him the Malleus portrait he'll shut up

Yeah you have to do Malleus first if you wanna draw him

Stiff like a ramrod his face looks constipated

Ask him a question about his young master and he forgets he's being drawn in exactly 3 seconds

His face really lights up as he talks about him it's kinda cute

By the time you're done he's probably still talking so interrupt in a speech break

Thinks you did a good job and asks for some advice with art

Then starts trying to buy the malleus portrait off of you

I should've tried harder to not make 80% of his just him talking about the dragon boi but it's really hard cuz he's just him TT

7/10 he's not that bad but your ears are bleeding
