captain K.P hob and delloso de la rue as lamia and the soldier by john william waterhouse.
if hob has dreamt of rue, I think the dreams may look something like this; haunted by peonies. another beautiful painting by waterhouse this time that I felt the need to fit these two into. I cannot wait for episode 6.
Some A Court of Fey and Flowers fanart featuring Hob and Rue inspired by Alphonse Mucha’s “Flirt” piece.
Putting this together was so much fun and presented a lot of unique challenges. You can check out some of the process here and follow for future art streams!
Translation: Sometimes, you need a friend to talk to when you're at work, especially about some recent tender feelings that were neither expected nor prepared for. It has been a bad time, and everyone who says it will get better is lying. I cannot sleep. It has taken me forty-five minutes to write the past four sentences.
If Rue and Hob aren’t the ones to get married at the end to restore the failed engagement and help reestablish the alliance between the Court of Wonder and Goblins I’m gonna be very shocked.
WOWWW....that Rue x Hob scene during the masquerade ball got me major effed up. I had to pause and gasp after every word Brennan spoke, holy shit. I just haaad to redraw it and I only hope I captured even just a fraction of the tension (and to be quite frank, eroticism) of the scene.
The latest episode made me super sad! So here’s some funny little guys in fancy clothes to remedy the fact that the funny little guys made me Feel Things.
[ID: a three-panel illustration of the A Court of Fae and Flowers player characters at the ball. The first is of Binx and Andhera turned away from eachother and blushing. The second is of Chirp and Squak looking oposite directions with half masks on. The third is of Hob and Rue dancing together with stars in the background.]
The Hob/Rue romance is just if those two core parts of Mr. Darcy were courting each other.
Hob is the whole “I’m tall and have anxiety+ someone who I’m trying to protect” Thing
and Rue is “I’m in love with you, I’m going to write dramatically about it, but oh god shit fuck society god wait give me the letter no one can know oh shit was it hold on no wait-”
captain K.P hob and delloso de la rue as frederic william burton’s the meeting on the turret stairs.
since my klimt rendition of these two is now outdated due to episode four I decided to make another battlemaster of ceremonies work, this time with rue in their beautiful true form!!! the meeting on the turret stairs is so so beautiful and suits them quite well I think. thank you for all the love on my previous the kiss fanart, this community is so lovely <3
My stance in episode 1 was that Andhera and KP definitely fucked in the battle we heard about where KP has his blade to Andhera's neck and didn't land the killing blow, but I'm older now. I've learned and now in episode 2 we learn that in the present Andhera is a kid barely keeping it together in a stressful Regency environment with all these expectations weighing them down and I doubt it was any better in the past. I can imagine Andhera, Prince of the Unseelie Court, having been only trained in showy and theatrical use of his weapons be expected to lead(or at least join) the Unseelie forces against the Goblins and as Prince, Pride of the Unseelie, face off against the Goblins' best warrior, Captain K.P. Hob and of course, get bested by a seasoned fighter. And as Captain Hob had the prince of his enemy at his mercy, I think he saw some of Andhera's true character and it reminded Hob of himself. Both are the opposite of their courts respected values. Andhera is kind and sweet in a court of darkness and coldness. Hob is loyal and honorable in a court of chaos and untrustworthyness.
I have decided that their past is not one of former lovers but of kinship and maybe a mentor-student relationship as KP takes Andhera under his wing. Based on the clip of episode 3 we saw, Andhera will be expected to duel Theodore as challenged, find himself in way over his head and KP will take his place.
