but truly, the book ending with “snow lands on top” is so cold. because there were so many losses, so. many. losses. throughout that one summer.
while yes, it was mostly the tributes and people from the district that coryo never saw as a group above animals and his fellow mentors he could simply decide he didn’t care for that much anyways, the losses also included lucy gray and sejanus plinth.
the two people who had showed him more about living in the span of a few months. how lucy gray showed him goodness and vigor and strength and bringing joy to people’s lives. and how sejanus was literally the one who pulled him back from ending it all and brought him a sense of relief and light and familiarity to his despair in district 12.
but still, it didn’t matter that they were now both gone from the face of the earth. it didn’t matter that sejanus was lost to the hanging tree, and that lucy gray was lost in the woods and that their blood and whatever was left of them were on his hands. because at the end, snow got what he wanted either way.
others might have ended up buried under rubble, under panem’s dirt, or in the words of a mockingjay song, but that didn’t matter anymore. because here he was, in the strive to become something great, on the way to claim the old glory of his family name that he’d longed so much. finally at the height of his life, even if it was at the expense of others. snow lands on top.

Some old sketches. One day, ONE DAY I plan to finish these, but I cannot decide how to dress them for the life of me. If you have any ideas- please enlighten me

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

Meanwhile Toriel:

Artist note: I’m so proud of this :))) I know it’s a lot of dialogue and reading, but dialogue is grueling work for me. I’m glad with the art and for the amount of pages I made in such a relatively short time span -w- page 5 was super fun to work on. A lot of blood, sweat, and hours here... :) The backgrounds were a big bore tbh, but I finished them! Yippie!

i love seeing out of context posts about long-running stories with deep lore because it's always shit like "MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!! i can't believe that the metallic athenaeum's envoy actually used never-ending dance of the 57th universe on rionne as if she's not LITERALLY the incarnate of august?!?!" it's like buddy boy thank you for the spoiler tag but all of those words are incomprehensible without at least 5 years of foreshadowed knowledge, 7 different fan theories, and 21 wiki entries
