That would also be an incredible Morella x Ada moment. But yeah I cannot handle Ada dying at this point; I need her to survive. :(

Also would be cool to see Morella do cool stuff and save lives and all that jazz

for god's sake, let them bump into misfits and let Morella use her spectre healing powers on Ada, PLEASE

100% agree except for one thing--I think Duke is a bishop. Duke is Lenore's closest confidant and right hand man, just as Prospero is Annabel's. I believe Duke functions for the misfits in the same way Prospero functions for Annabel's group.

Also, Duke and Montresor are set up as opponents with Duke as the victor. In chess, it is very difficult to attack a piece with a piece of the same type; it would not make sense to pit a rook against another rook. A rook and a bishop, however, does make sense.

posh gang as chess pieces lets discuss

We all know that Annabel treats other characters like chess pieces. Annabel herself is the queen, and Lenore, from her point of view, is the king who must be protected at all costs. I admit, however, that Annabel may be wrong about this, because unlike the chess king, Lenore is quite an active participant of the game. Interestingly, in this frame, the king is white (Annabel's color) and the queen is black (Lenore's color). Perhaps this is a reflection of how their roles changed after death, or perhaps it means that Annabel initially misinterpreted their positions with Lenore.

As for the others, in the comic Annabel clearly says that Prospero is a bishop and Monty is a rook. I would assume that Duke is a rook as well, solely because it makes Annabel's attempt to save Lenore by immuring him in the wall a castling.

What about the other characters? I won't consider the misfits but I want to talk about Ada and Will, as the last members of Annabel's group.

Will is obviously a pawn. Most people don't take pawns seriously, and they're not even always considered pieces in the game. Will is at the bottom of the characters hierarchy, he is nothing more than a tool to achieve other people's goals, even misfits treat him very leniently, absolving him of responsibility for his actions. And I mean it in a bad way, as if they see him as an extension of Monty's willpower, and not as an independent person. I love Will, but seriously, what reason did they have to stop Monty in that one scene?

However, many underestimate pawns. They have a lot of advantages: they are numerous, and this reflects Will's ability to clone himself. What's even more obvious is that when pawns reach the end of the board, they can transform into any other piece, just like Will can transform into other people. This is one of the many things that make me think of Will as a dark horse among the cast: after all, every pawn can become a queen. A pawn can replace any piece on the board except the king, but no piece can replace a pawn.

In addition, pawns usually open the game. Either pawns or, a little less often, knights.

And now we're moving on to Ada. In fact, at first I've chosen a knight for her by elimination, because all the other pieces are already occupied. But let's be honest: it suits her. In the first season, Ada has long been one of two characters (along with Morella) who "torn" between the two groups, so she is the most unpredictable among the entire cast. You never know what to expect from her. Similarly, the knight's movements cannot always be predicted, because unlike other pieces, knight "jumps" through the diagonals, stepping over chessmen just as Ada is ready to go over students heads. In addition, Monty calls Ada his "ace in the hole," that is, his unobvious advantages. This also corresponds to the style of playing knights, whose moves are often simply not read by the opponent in advance.

An interesting feature of the knights is that when attacking it, the attacking piece remains safe, because the knight needs space to move, it is useless up close. When Ada is attacked by other characters (and this happens all the time), she cannot defend herself. The only exception is her first manifesting against Prospero, but even in that scene she is technically unable to protect herself. She just snaps at him and uses violence, which in the long run does not change his attitude towards her. No one begins to take her feelings seriously, she remains alone and becomes an easy target for Monty. He gets as close to her as possible, and she becomes defenseless.

However, when she finally does have the strength to attack? She is unstoppable, deadly, she will sweep away everything in her path. You can attack the knight without the risk that he will respond, sure thing. But if the knight attacks you? Good luck.

As someone once told me on this website: let Ada become her own knight. The girl deserves it.

love how even in the middle of a crisis while going through a messy situationship divorce arc lenore still spares the time to lament two of the worst people she knows getting together

Concept: The misfits interactions when they're referencing the times they each lived in.

Duke: Lenore, that plan will go as well as the Titanic's maiden voyage.

Lenore: *With an oblivious grin* Why, thank you, Duke!

. . .

*Berenice is telling a story*

Berenice: I was driving a van full of booze - in the woods to avoid some local coppers, when-

Morella: Why were you avoiding the police?

Berenice: Oh, for a start, they had banned alcohol-

*Duke screams, clutching his bottle of wine.*

. . .

Eulalie: Since Lenore lived earlier than the rest of us, does that technically make her the oldest?

Lenore: What? That's ridiculous!

Duke: *Teasing* Oh, but is it, old woman?

Lenore: Stop.

Berenice: *Also teasing* Come on, Duke. She's getting right cantankerous in her old age.

Lenore: You do know I know how to use my gun, right?

. . .

Eulalie: I flew in a plane once!

Lenore: What's a plane?

. . .

Edit: Feel free to reblog with any quotes of your own I vention for this concept!

Part 2:

[welcome-to-my-animated-hell]

In a modern au they would be each other's beards and rule their high school/college/whatever ruthlessly with Annabel as Queen Bee and Propsero as her right hand man.

Lenore suggested that Annabel Lee could try to make a friend and instead of seeking out someone kind and friendly and sociable, she immediately went to the second most deeply unsettled and slightly unhinged person in the academy and I really respect her for that

I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long, For sidelong would she bend, and sing A faery’s song. - John Keats "La Belle Dame sans Merci" --- Happy Valentine's Day! This piece is based on an artwork called "La Belle Dame sans Merci", painted by Frank Dicksee, circa 1901. Which was based on a poem called "La Belle Dame sans Merci" published by John Keats in 1819. Which was based on a poem called "La Belle Dame sans Merci" penned by Alain Chartier in 1424. ...Guess what we're calling ours?

How are ALL the characters 10/10 character design. I could stare at any of them all day.

Well hello there, readers!!

So, I have been lurking on our socials and in the webtoon comments of Nevermore's finale episode and have picked up some very subtle hints that y'all want to know when we're going to drop Season 2. Firstly I do want to let all the smarties who guessed we'd come back on Halloween based on our Ulalume quote know that they were onto something. When we originally left that hint for you, we were indeed planning to return in late October, but some unforeseen setbacks over the summer pushed our production schedule back. Still, I wanted to say congratulations for getting the hint right! We were impressed so many of you figured it out.

As for the updated launch of season two? While I don't have a specific date to share yet, I can tell you it'll be in January.

I know, I know. Trust me, I wish it was sooner too. I can't tell you how much Flynn and I miss updating weekly. Y'all make creating this series so exciting for us with your energy and excitement and creativity!! The talent I've seen in this community is off the charts. We feel unspeakably lucky to have readers like you along for the ride, and can't wait for you to see the episodes we've been working on.

If you're new to Flynn and I, it might not be common knowledge that we always do the absolute most all the time, compulsively, without stopping ever (save us, ahahhaa). And let me assure you that the opening episodes of season two? Are very most. A lot of most. Super long. Really, extra pretty. I wish I could post them now but I think webtoon might um. Be upset with me if I did that, so. Just trust me, ok? One thing I can share in th emeantime is some of the S2 character concepts. A few characters are getting minor glow ups. See if you can spot the differences!

Okay, well! We'll see you in January!! Or before, if you hang around our socials. I mean we're not disappearing. We'll be here, just. Plodding along on buffer in the background. If you're dying to spoil yourselves with wip streams you can hit up our patreon but I almost wouldn't recommend it on account of. You'll be so confused, at this point. Lmfao. Like. Wow, it would be a really weird time to join a wip stream with no context. This sounds like a shameless plug but I'm being serious when I say it's probably best you don't hop in at this particular moment?? But I mean. I'm not a cop. I'm just your weird goth wine aunt. 🍷

Cheers, Kit Trace

Lesbians just can't act normal after a break up, they either fake their death and a completely new identity, turn into a fascist dictator's puppet or attempt to destroy the world.

something something Ada was also a maid in life, just like the cracked doll

Now hold on, Ada doesn't just disintegrate, she cracks like some kind of porcelain doll. She's bleeding out with ink.

It made me wonder: how does Poppet even know what happens if you use your spectre against Stag?

Has this ever happened before?
