imagine dying from the fucking plague and indirectly and postmortemly traumatizing your little brother and then watching said little brother grow up to be the biggest asshole that’s ever lived but he’s doing it in your name. pour one out for the ghost of jordie rietveld whos just chillin in the afterlife watching his edgy baby brother make The World’s Worst String of Decisions
I can’t wait for fan art of Manon when she first dons her crown.
Battle bruised, bloody shoulder, hair down and loose, the ghosts of her parents at her back, a bloody sword in hand, and a crown of stars stop her head.
Give it to me.
Things I also want fan art of:
Elide saving Lorcan’s ass
Yrene and Dorian killing Erawan
Aelin and Dorian forging the Lock
Abraxos and Narene 😭
Aelin when she first gets free and says “Fenrys.”
Aelin laying next to Fenrys in wolf form surrounded by a protective ring of fire
Anything manorian
Asterin Blackbeak sailing through the air just as she stabs the Matron
The bloody battlefield covered in flowers for the Thirteen and Manon and Abraxos mourning
Aelin standing outside the gates against Maeve and Erawan
Aaaaah just finished Kingdom of Ash and had to draw SOMETHING to get rid of the immediate hangover. This was probably the most defining scene in the book for me. Aelin’s arc was pretty much expected, but Manon and Dorian’s arcs were the most surprising events of the book. Dorian especially – every chapter I yearned that he could some how find his self-worth after working tirelessly to sacrifice himself at every turn – and this is the scene when he does.
I don’t usually sketch in color too often, but these two deserved it. So much.
