stop disconnecting from the thing ur making just because ur afraid it’s not good. I know you don’t wanna get ur feelings hurt caring for a project that other people might not like but dammit that’s better than deciding not to give a shit and hiding behind self-deprecating humor and dispassionately trudging ahead! fuck!
been cramming all morning for my astro final and to cope i wanna show u guys pictures of dark nebulae cause they are truly the shit
“He slid into the skin of a solitary Satan as though he had never enjoyed the flourish of language, the delights of civil power. It was war, now. Naked and bloody.”
- Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake
Yeah so according to @gawain-in-green this quote from Gormenghast is very unhinged-Gawain-core (I agree). I’m not very experienced at comics but I’m actually very into this one thank you for looking at it <333 gawain…. blood…. kissing…. archways… favorite things to draw
(btw if anyone ever wants requests for art or like. writing. please send in ask box i would die for you)
But it all feels so much bigger than/ Some blame-filled, lonely break up/ Like all our narratives and mortality only distill to/ Oh my gd, we’re gonna die - “Archive” by Mal Blum
ID: A digital illustration of characters from The Magnus Archives, interspersed with song lyrics. Some are already dead (Gertrude, Sasha, Tim) while others are in danger (Martin, Basira, Daisy, Jon). The lyrics read “Oh my gd we’re gonna die/ We’re gonna die and it’s gonna be alone/ And no one will find the things we left behind/ Because/ Because we/ Because we never thought to leave a fucking archive.” At the bottom of the image is a pile of cassette tapes.
I’m back! I have an alternative theory and I like this one slightly better because it would mean Nott isn’t as fucked up, what with the whole ‘actually posing as a child’s death mother’ thing.
So, alternative theory:
1) Nott is a goblin.
2) She and Yeza met when he was captured by her clan.
3) She freed him, they ran away together.
4) Nott lived at Yeza’s place.
5) Yeza already had a son, but his biological mother already died.
6) Through his alchemy, Yeza was able to create potions that allowed Nott to become Beth/Veth. This is probably at Nott’s request.
7) Beth is not in any way related to Luke’s actual mom, but is a new person who slowly became Luke’s adopted mother.
8) Nott became more and more disillusioned with having to pretend to be someone without actually being them. She hates being a goblin.
9) Yeza probably doesn’t even see the issue and just wishes she could just be herself.
10) Nott and Yeza have a huge falling out over this. She leaves because she feels it’s more important to figure out her goblin situation than it is to stay and care for Luke.
11) Yeza is angry at her for abandoning her family. He’s not sure if she’ll ever succeed with her quest. He thinks she’s not coming back. Lots of complicated emotions.
12) He decides to tell Luke that Beth was killed by goblins (and to him, technically, she was). He lies about the packages because it’s too complicated.
13) Nott only wants to come back as Beth. But recent events have forced her hand.
14) Nott is incredibly ashamed of abandoning her family, and lies about it to the group.
