The Torch Carrier—Child Of The Pyre, Child Of Death

Some style/design experiment featuring my secondary sona Leviathan.

I haven’t been very happy with the original design of the upper horns recently, because I never manage to get the curve right, so I’ve decided to explore some alternative shapes - don’t know if I will make this design permanent yet, but I like it plenty for now ^-^

Art made by me, character is mine too, please don’t use, trace or heavily infringe!  You can also find my art on DeviantArt where I go by CharlyLee.

hey :D I really enjoy your seijoh plants AU; maybe a nekoma version?

Ah thank you so much ^-^<3 I'm really happy that you like the plants AU.

To be entirely honest, this was more of a joke idea we had on the IwaOi BigBang server based on some silly talk and how there are animal versions of many characters but not Seijoh because they don’t have a mascot animal and less a serious AU concept, so I probably won't do any other teams as plants >.< But if that is something you're interested in, I will definitely keep it in mind for the case that I ever run out of ideas ~

Preview of the fic I am currently creating for the @fmabigbangs​ 2020!

Searching for The Weird Cat (...again) Alphonse travelled to Xing, so he could study Alkahestry and hold hands with his girlfriend. Instead he embarks on a grand quest to rescue Xiao Mei, save the pandas and hold hands with his girlfriend.

The fic will be accompanied by an amazing art piece by @bennettdraws

Okay so basically I have two ways to approach this.

On that is just me being a petty sucker for love and the other a little more… scientific.

So what if we had them going all the way to ‚properly‘ - which I just assume is kissing and/or sex.

For one Kaz shows that he is starting to work on his trauma by holding hands with Inej at the end of CK.

And Inej with her backstory at the menagerie it‘s like: Bruh, don‘t get me started on how she must feel about sex!

So they both just start to tackle their individual problems slowly, which is absolutely fine (and possibly leaves room for a third book).

But they are just so darn hecking cute together I want them too smooch for pete's sake!

(As I said I just am sucker for love in a well developed story)

And so, the let us say ‚scientific‘ reason I think they are ‚only‘ holding hands at the end of CK (appart from a possible third book) isn‘t Kaz character but Inej.

Kaz is shown in his flashback scenes that he actually tried before to live without the gloves (with that other girl, sorry I forgot her name, that he was collecting fight bets with). He just choose not to, because working through his trauma was getting in the way of business and that was simply more important to him and his big revenge scheme. So I think if Leigh had just started to ‚rehabilitate‘ Kaz just a little earlier in the books she could have comfortably made him confident enough to go out ‚properly‘ with Inej by the end.

And that is why I think It‘s actually about her and her past as prostitute.

Idk how to explain this but at least to me, Inej might be trying to work through her history but even close to the end she is still terrified by the menagerie.

She is not like Kaz, who sort of choose to just go along with his trauma, she is still somewhat in it‘s thrall.

So that will just take a lot more time to unravel and she is only just beginning with it.

Sure she stuck her middle finger into Tante Heleens face but isn‘t that the exact reason why she wants to be a pirate and fight? To work her way through the trauma?

To become stronger? Strong enough she can leave the nightmares of the menagerie behind once and for all?

So in conclusion

*Clears throat after typing a lot of probably unnecessary explanation that got kinda of topic at the end*

Leaving aside my petty desires and also I my imminent need a Wesper/Kanej double date because fu** you, that is my jam!

*nervous sweating*

I don‘t think it would have been realistic for Inej to make that step, even at the end of CK.

Which is just a too long explanation of: I want it, even though it definitely doesn‘t fit into the novel!!

So I am glad Leigh didn‘t actually let them get together ‚properly‘ - and here come my big big hope - yet.

(Even though it would have been just so cute *silent sobbing*)

Also @arin-saintsforsakencity - no problemo ;)

Oh man so a couple days ago I met a high school teacher who had read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and she had the coldest fucking take I’ve ever heard despite being otherwise a very smart, sensitive person. I knew she had read them and I was so excited to talk about my close readings of metaphor and subversion/reinforcement of racial tropes and all the other stuff I’ve never quite managed to type up. So I asked her what she thought. And she said.

She said that she wished Kaz and Inej had been able to “properly” get together at the end of CK and I almost choked on my fucking orange soda. I’ve never been so let down by a literary opinion in my entire life.

I managed to argue with her a little but her heart wasn’t as in it as mine was. I’m so disappointed. So yeah if you hold this same bad opinion, this is an open invitation to hash it out with me.

Realised that I never drew Bert on his own!? (Always with Charlotte or Levia)

So yeah - one autumn birb coming through!

Art and Character are mine, pls don’t claim, trace or copy!

Also tumblr makes the picture rather pixely, so click it for better quality or check out my Deviantart CharlyLee!

I don't even have words to describe my headspace this year other than simply... MEH. I did a lot of small writings so at least there is that ~

Hence, no large dramatic speech this year, just... thanks for sticking around (even if half of you are porn bots but that's live on Tumblr for you I guess 😂).

Not quite in time for his birthday but here's the 2nd part of my HQ!! Fantasy BB Pinch Hit, featuring the man, the myth, the bard 🎸🎩
