Ok first and only impression of ACOSF

So... Cassian definitely has the biggest wingspan.

“She’d laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have.”

I animated the scene from Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows where Kaz is remembering Inej’s hair blowing in the wind and has some ~feelings~. The animation is a little clunky but you get the gist.

New Graceling Realm Book

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[readingnow]

A new papercraft this time featuring our feisty fire queen and her icy fae prince exchanging burning crowns! This was based on a short story / deleted scene that honestly has become my favorite ‘chapter’ from the setting. The dinner scene was probably the perfect gateway into Aelin and Rowan’s blossoming relationship that I’m almost vexed it’s not part of the original Heir of Fire novel.

If there is a third Six of Crows book, I want everyone to scheme to rescue Kaz next. It’s his turn.

Jude: *appears in Cardan’s field of vision*

Cardan [inside]: My favorite human has arrived. She is beautiful and smart and fierce and my favorite. I must greet her in a manner indicative of my appreciation for her existence.

Cardan: Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?

A famous con artist. Best remembered for forgetting all about being a con artist.

"I panted, sprawled on top of Rhys in the snow while he laughed hoarsely. “Don’t,” I snarled into his face, “ever,” I pushed his rock-hard shoulders, talons curving at my fingertips, “use me as bait again.”

He stopped laughing.

I pushed harder, those nails digging in through his leather. “You said I could be a weapon—teach me to become one. Don’t use me like a pawn. And if being one is part of my work for you, then I’m done. Done.” Despite the snow, his body was warm beneath me, and I wasn’t sure I’d realized just how much bigger he was until our bodies were flush—too close. Much, much too close.

Rhys cocked his head, loosening a chunk of snow clinging to his hair. “Fair enough.”

Friendly Reminder: Cardan is a bookworm. And he’s a mortal fable fanboy. Jude finding Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in Cardan’s room was one of my favorite unsolved conundrums about him in the first book. Jude questioned its unusual appearance in his room, but got too distracted to look more into it. But there is definitely something about mortals that interests him. He makes another reference to a mortal fable, the Ant and the Grasshopper, in The Wicked King. I’m curious if he used these stories as a means to escape his reality in Faerie. He’s made it clear on several occasions that he’d prefer to be secluded from the court, whether by distance or drink. - I’ve used this as a sketch break between projects for the longest time, but finally polished it up last night. I’ve had many ask why I don’t draw Cardan’s tail, and that’s because it’s hinted quite often that he’s either ashamed or embarrassed by it. It’s the subject of gossip and Jude’s curiosity, so I keep it hidden when he’s in a public setting (which most of my drawings / crafts of him are - excluding baby Cardan). So here. Have a tail. 🧡

But you’re better than I am, Katsa. And it doesn’t humiliate me. It humbles me. But it doesn’t humiliate me.
