When I presented the first 4 inners it was back in 2017. Now that I’ve already presented them on my private discord server, I finally reached the remaining 4-5 finishing this series of illustrations.
I just realized that of course I didn't upload the rest of my children's illustrations. I will update in the near future with more information about them in this section.
In headless, the villain doesn't monologue her whole backstory or plan she just lets the local bard sing it which is honestly why this show is the goat
Are you from here? Orig—originally speaking? Yeah. Born and raised. I went to college, but it wasn't for me. So, here I am, pursuing my dreams of serving beer at Not-a-Drugstore.
Katrina "Kat" Van Tassel in Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story [x]
watching the headless bts and it must've been such a moment in the last episode with The Poison Within. it's 2 in the morning, you're illuminated by a stained glass window, staring directly into the eyes of the person you're singing about... that must've been a very powerful moment in universe too.
MAJOR HEADLESS SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT
imagine, if you will.
you're ichabod crane, and a bard is narrating the death of the woman you've been enamored with, but has been lying to you this whole time. it's like she said, this is your bedtime story. because there's no guarentee you'll make it until morning.
you're brom bones, and a bard is singing about the death of a woman you loved, who brings out the most toxic sides of you. your wife has been working with her the whole time, and your best friend is just minutes away from dying. you have been lied to. and it hurts.
you're matilda bishop, and a bard is retelling one of the worst moments of your life, the death and subsequent ressurection of your best friend. but she is no longer who she was, hasn't been for a long time. you know what the right choice is. are you going to make it?
you're diedrich knickerbocker, and you are singing that song. you know the truth. you look her directly in the eyes, laying it all out for everyone to see. you give her no absolution. besides, you're not the one who could give it. you don't have that right.
and finally, you're katrina van tassel. and your death is being told to a man who shouldn't have had this much of an impact. he shouldn't matter. but he does. the bard looks at you like you're guilty. like you've done something wrong. you have not. you only want to live. and you will. won't you?
Do I think Matilda was in love with kat? Yes. Yes I do. Maybe at the start it was some sort of pining. You know the trope. Girl in love with her best friend who would never love her back. But by the end? I think Matilda loved Kat like a knight swearing an oath to protect their princess. Her whole soul was devoted to Kat's welfare, willingly. She would trust Kat to lead her into the darkness and fight through it on her behalf. She wasn't surprised when Ichabod fell head over heels upon their first meeting. Who wouldn't?
Sorry not sorry but it's being mad at baltus hours again !!!!! I just rewatched the scene when it's retelling kat getting poisoned and it's just like ???? He literally sees her take the glass and doesn't try to stop her ??? He turns away but knows she's probably about to take a drink???? Doesn't care to check in later??? Like it isn't until she is REALLY sick and he risks blowing anything that he cares... once he *knows* it will come back to him. He doesn't care enough to save her early on. Just UGH.
