I at once spurred alongside Raffles, as he rode, bronzed and bearded, with warworn wideawake over eyes grown keen as a hawk’s, and a cutty-pipe sticking straight out from his front teeth. I can see him now, so gaunt and grim and debonair, yet already with much of the nonsense gone out of him, though I thought he only smiled on my misgivings. -The Knees of the Gods

#letters from bunny #crime and cricket #aj raffles #lfb #tbh i struggle to have fun w this one #especially in this middle bit where its just War Adventure Story like. egh #i like a lot of it a lot as like. a narrative and what it does for bunny and raffles' arcs #but the colonialism/patriotism is just so much #and its not even like jubilee cup where its at least silly and fully fictional #its a real conflict that was pointless and cruel #idk its frustrating bc theres a lot of KNEE that i care abt very much but. ughghgh i wish it wasnt what it is yk #edit fwiw ik a lot of these tags r negative and also notnrly relevant to the drawing sjdjdh #at the end of the day i Do like knee and i like how this drawing turned out !#its just wat i was thinking abt while working on it #and looking up refs for the uniform especially #british military history is uhhh bad?
