I recently had someone very kindly say they read Woodwalker and felt like I had tricked them into re-reading The Thief; well I just listened to the Eagle of the Ninth and guess what

"Find anything?"
I looked down at the seal ring still hung around my thumb... In the sunlight I could that the emerald was flawed, milky white on one side. The seal engraved in it was a curving fish, maybe a dolphin. The white flaw was a breaking wave.
The magus leaned over to lift it off my thumb.
..."I'll put it in my bag, so that it doesn't get lost."
"You will not," I said. The ring didn't belong in a bag, it belonged on a finger. My finger.

Sometimes it do be just like that
I think the times I feel The Most Like A Medieval Person is when I’m getting out of my dress and I look EXACTLY like every manuscript drawing of a woman getting out of a dress. Like yes my bestie from 700 years ago it really do be like that

also I love that Grover gets separated from the kids and immediately starts playing mind games with a god. he's like finally I don't have to be a good role model for a second. let's talk brutality.

I know the answer is "magic" but I still wonder how Old Kingdom necromancers and abhorsens don't get tissue damage from all that ice buildup. <- posts I acknowledge Nicholas Sayre would also make

I’m putting together a book of all the short comics I’ve drawn over the past year to have for sale at my spring conventions! Not sure what the title will be yet, but the uniting themes of all the stories seem to be Girls and Magic.
I drew this selkie comic really fast and it bounced all around tumblr which was cool, but the messy lettering and simple coloring bugged me so I cleaned it up a bit.

This is NOT that scene in KoA, but it is the same dance (at least how i imagine it in my head)
I like to think they become more relaxed with not pretending, and start dancing very often in front of their people. I feel like they’re the most themselves when dancing. They don’t have to show anyone anything; because now, everyone knows.
