#that bone structure

[stopthatfool]

hi hello I thought I'd share some of my sketches/unfinished sketches of ice and mav cuz they can't leave my head. (GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!)

Idk why I made him say hello sexy. and idk how to make the picture smaller... ice right in your face!

and the other unfinished guy on the left is supposed to be mav. but he will most likely remain indescribable pencil marks until the end of time.

AND! thank you for my mutual @woodsywingman for reminding me that unfinished sketches are cool and awesome in their own right!

James struggling to not talk about regulus to Sirius:

Sirius: oh hey James

James: (vibrating on the spot) 👁️👁️

Sirius: bloody hell, ok go on!

James: OMG thankyou so much I love you but you know who I love more? Fucking regulus black and I know your his brother but hear me out he's so-

Sirius: uh James slow down...

James: beautiful. Like dammit I love him I actually can't believe Barty fumbled him but Bartys always kinda stupid, like look at his face actually never mind look at regulus face like look at his bone structure-

It kind of confuses me when I see people talking about cavaliers as if the Nine Houses have established and normalised some radical social role of human sacrifice. It really doesn't seem to me like the role of a cavalier is that simple. The only members of their society we've seen who weren't horrified by the idea were the Tridentarii.

The career soldier, who was born into the military class and trained for that role since birth, believes no necromancer should ever have to see their cavalier die. The other child soldier was killed while putting himself between his cavalier and danger. The heirophant of the Emperor's law who draws on his cavalier like a battery—a level of exploitation the other Houses condemn—turns against the will of his God when he witnesses the sacrifice expected for lyctorhood.

The deliberate sacrifice of a cavalier is not normalised. Not even in the front lines of their military. The role of a cavalier is exploitative, of course, and that's where the interesting part begins. Is it any more exploitative than a king whose knights are trained to die in battle? Than employees who are forced to work or starve? Than the existence of a noble class, or capitalism?

Human suffering exists in any society, and in most societies I know of, much of that suffering we inflict on one another through exploitation. The Nine Houses are not unique in this respect. I am very much in awe of the worldbuilding in this series, tho, that it has managed to defamiliarise human suffering and class dynamics as to show us their grotesquerie plainly without ever tipping over into anything as straight forward as direct allegory.

Loved the eval video of the packets; thanks for sharing. Can you talk a little bit about what bone means and what it looks like if they have not enough/too much?

Bone is literally about the bones and how thick/solid a dog’s bones appear. Look at the correct dog at top left, then the fine boned dog middle right. The illustrations here aren’t perfect, but it’ll give you an idea.

Seren (top) has better bone than Tyche (bottom).

Now, the term “substance” is a little different because it includes bone, but also width and muscling and overall build.

It’s hard to tell in photos alone, but to me Tyche has overall good substance despite having less bone. She is all muscle, with appropriate width for her size. Seren has adequate width as well, and normal muscling. When you put hands on these pups, you can feel the difference in muscle and strength.

Then there’s Bonnie, who you could say has decent bone for her size, but not a lot of width or overall much substance.

Still bothers me that all fem blood/void/high elves have to be so babyfaced

Alleria is very old and has the voice of a mature woman but she's stuck looking like she's 19, Xal'atath still looks youthful and healthy despite void-possessing the corpse of an elf, which should mess the body up a lot if you ask me but she has to be soft and pretty for marketability and all that

Sylvanas's Maw-model was an improvement and something different, it was nice to see

"But he wore a crown of office that you had not seen before: a wreath of ribbon and pearlescent leaves in his dark hair, rustling prismatically in the windless docking bay. Each leaf was intertwined with a match-sized infant fingerbone... The foetal fingerbones and leaves crowning his hair kept swaying in some nonexistent breeze." - Harrow the Ninth, chapter 6

I finished my interpretation of John's very chill and unconcerning hair accessory!

The leaves are actually large sequins, and the bones are sculpted from Fimo clay after a rather disconcerting time on PubMed looking at papers on the biometry of phalangeal growth in utero... (each leaf is 24mm, and the bones vary from 10-15mm)
