I don’t think there’s any more tragic a death than the bright eyed child, so in love with his amazing mother’s adventurous lifestyle, awed and ecsastic and not understanding why his father’s pulling him away from the action, because he can help, see? He can help and shoot and save everyone just like his mother

But then he gets hit

And his mother, his amazing mother, can’t save him

some old drawings from June! i never posted them for some reason, i think i was going to do a whole big lore write up on their village's deal but i don't have time for that right now so here’s some fun facts about the gals from over on patreon.

1st pic is Bea at some kind of fancy event. Their village doesn't really do proper dances anymore, but the spirits still like to get down and the Sisters are always invited. Bea will dance until she collapses if you let her. Which honestly is kind of a hassle for the other Sisters so she gets led off the dance floor for mandatory rest and water breaks often.

2nd pic introduces Bea's best friend, Luc! Bea and Luc are childhood friends who came to the Sisters a few years apart. Luc was a chronically ill child who's parents eschewed proper medical care in favor of snake oil from the 'community leaders' and good ol' bootstraps. she was eventually abandoned in the woods as punishment after said leaders convinced her parents that she didn't want to get better and that she was only ill because she was communing with the spirits and other blasphemous things when they weren't watching her.  This happened when she was 11.

Luckily the Sisters found her and got her proper help, facilitating her and Bea's reunion years later after the other girl was also disowned. The village officially sees Luc as dead, or 'Nil' and talking to her or looking her in the eyes is forbidden. She is basically treated like a ghost. She doesn't really care though because she loves the Sisters and uses her newfound ghostliness to go and do what she likes. And what does she like? Why, snails of course! And bugs, but mostly snails. Lotta mollusc biodiversity around the village. Bea and Luc's favorite thing to do is just sit down with their field notes and have bug and snail chats. Their second favorite thing to do is going out looking for bugs and snails together but they have to match up their schedules for that. See, Luc is still chronically ill. some things got better with regular care, but she still has certain limits she can't cross and she has an absolutely chaotic sleep schedule. She also still kind of has that weird bootstraps 'must do something all the time' mindset, so instead of waiting until she's awake and active at the same time as her friends, she gets up and goes whenever she's up and energized no matter what. This means it's normal for Bea to wake up in the middle of the night and find out that Luc has been wandering through the forest for the last three hours noting snail migration patterns because she woke up at midnight after a 10 hour nap feeling peppy.

Bea supports these weird snail adventures with her whole heart. Best friends.

Last pic is Tani! Tani is not Bea and Luc's best friend but they WANT to be her best friends so bad because they think she's cool and mysterious. They're trying very hard to make this dream a reality and it might be working because so far Tani has shown she can tolerate both of them. She even tolerates when they both go into a special interest whirlwind of no escape and she has to hear about the entire life cycle of a bug for and hour or two.  She will slip away for hours after the intense social interaction, but she always...Well she doesn't really come back to them, more like she makes herself findable? Same difference.

Tani's specialty is creating dyes/pigments for the fabric that the Sisters secretly sell to outsiders in the nearby dwarven markets. She has a very sharp eye for color and carries a magnifying glass everywhere so that she can study different materials close up to note how different weaves and patterning impact color when seen farther away. She also has an uncanny ability to guess what made a certain stain at a glance. Which is a fine talent? Most of the time?

Anyway.

She's been arranged, betrothed, promised, and engaged, in that order. Marriage has never caught her and if she has her way it probably never will. Last time she jumped off a cliff to get away and her dad just gave up and pronounced her Nil. She's been with the sisters ever since.

I’m sorry but the people who read Addie Larue and walked away saying she had no depth or no motivation or wtf ever lack basic reading comprehension skills. The book literally mentions multiple times that she is operating on pure spite. There are multiple times she wants to give in but doesn’t because there is more beauty to be seen and more ways to make Luc mad about the fact that she won’t give in. “She never does anything important.” Girl is literally fighting the ocean alone. No one can remember her, but she still wakes up and gives her heart to people who see her as a stranger. Over 300 years and she doesn’t stop trying to experience love and happiness. God, you must be so miserable and end result motivated to not see how good this character is.

A deal with The Night itself I loved "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" by @veschwab

[boysofbooks]

He is smoke and skin, air and bone, and when his mouth presses against hers, the first thing she tastes in the turning of the seasons, the moment when dusk gives way to night.

Veth: Well, Mr. Mob Boss, my toddler could be an assassin-

Yeza: Our toddler will NOT be an assassin

The toddler in question, appearing with a crossbow: Yeah, assassin!

Make me choose

↳ @elephantinparis asked: Nafira or AddieLuc

[the-starless-one]

It is only sex.

Then it is not.

"Dine with me," Luc says as winter gives way to spring.

"Dance with me," he says as a new year begins.

"Be with me," he says, at last, as one decade slips into the next.
