Drew a second version (click here for the first one) bc I think the story works for them really well, and I can see them both as either of the characters.
Here is my ko-fi if you want to request characters for me to sketch! Or if u want to donate me some kofi!
Also, this was drawn to the bg music of “Once More to See You” by Mitski! Lyrics unrelated just for the angst of the melody 🌌
I know Beardsley already alluded to thing but it was really sad and powerful when Kristen tells Cassandra that she knows “chaotic is not cute.” And then Cassandra straight up tells her, “I can’t rely on you.”
And Kristen and the entire audience have to agree. It’s really humbling for me as an audience member but I’m guessing also for Kristen in that moment
Wait a second. @islandoforder mentioned how both Riz and Kristen had reactions to anger, and I just realised. Brennan described them as "going red", described that you could see that their anger affected them physically. Cassandra has red going through her, which usually happens in response to something. I think, just maybe, it's a physical response to anger. Think about it, every time Cassandra has been in pain this season, it has been because of something Kristen has said, an emotion that has caused this. I initially thought it was due to a shaken faith in Kristen, but Kristen's faith hasn't shaken. Instead, I'm beginning to think what's happening to Cassandra is her anger hurting her. Or, specifically, something is going on in the world of Spyre, where anger is getting much more dangerous. Where such a loss of control of your emotions, where you lash out at your loved ones because you have lost complete control of yourself, that...that may have a lot more meaning this season.
It's only the beginnings of a theory, but I'm starting to see a pattern, here. And I, for one, am terrified.
took me all day to formulate this in a way that made sense but its incredibly important to me that K2, a clone made from strange wizardry, who stood on a deck and stumbled upon a situation she had no way of understanding, and cast a successful divine intervention to cassandra, the witch goddess of doubt and mystery
WATCHING THE FANTASY HIGH NIGHTMARE KING FINALE RIGHT NOW AND OH MY GOD
"I mean, uh, obviously Cassandra." YES YES YES LIKE DUH. THE PROPHET THAT NO ONE BELIEVES. WHO WAS CURSED BY SOMEONE 'WHO LOVED HER'. BEEF WITH THE GOD OF A CELESTIAL BODY I MEAN COME ON YES!!!
it's low-key funny to me that cassandra — the god that has to pray to her followers — looks the same as past kristen while kristen's buff junior year design is a lot like frat boy helio
To be clear for the last 2-3 episodes I’ve been sitting on this memory of the BTS dimension 20 released before junior year aired, and as they’re trying to figure out what the ritual is i’m over here sam reiching in the corner: “it’s been here the whole time!”
