[sowlmates]

please read the witness for the dead because the protagonist is a priest and a crime investigator AND a zombie hunter. he's dirt poor. he carries his guilt like a little package. he feeds his neighborhood cats. he's so tired. he daily drinks his body weight in tea. he's put on trial by ordeal. he's even gay

every once in a while I think about how Celehar is basically like a noir detective

#the witness for the dead #cemeteries of amalo #thara celehar #the goblin emperor #think about it though! the gruff voice the tragic backstory the general demeanour of the guy #he sulks in his office waiting for people to come to him with Problems #couldve made this more noir pulp cover-ey but alas. i like period clothes #also geez long time no post lol

The Goblin Emperor/Cemeteries of Amalo just has it all huh? Airships. Corn mazes. Gambling. Hookers. Zombies. Musical theater. Corn mazes. Detectives. Horses. Evil cousins. Evil church. Evil opera singers. Corn mazes. Racial tension. Gay love. Gay hatred. Cats. Corn mazes. There's even a birthday.

Thinking about how Maia had no idea about the positive impact he had on people at this point in time and crying and crying

#and crying when I think about Thara's past and how lonely he was (and arguably still is) #thara celehar #the witness for the dead #the grief of stones #cemeteries of amalo #the goblin emperor #maia drazhar #these books have bewitched me body and soul

[readandneedle]

That bit in Witness for the Dead when Celehar is forced into a conversation he's been trying to avoid, so he offers up a little prayer to the patron god of earthquakes?

Yeah.

#that's good stuff #let thara have a break sheesh #and also a boyfriend #the witness for the dead #cemeteries of amalo #the goblin emperor #thara celehar

U reckon thara ever bumps into any of his petitioners at the municipal baths? Naturally, he'd be mortified if it ever happened and refuse to make eye contact with anyone but imagine it from the petitioner's pov like "oh that mysterious prelate who can fight ghouls and see ghosts and solved the emperor's murder? yea i saw him crying silently to himself in the bath this morning, he looked like a drowned cat." like surely being seen sopping wet ruins the dark and moody vibes somewhat

#municiple baths are also a severely under used fanfic trope too... #tge #thara celehar #the witness for the dead #cemeteries of amalo

the thing about Thara's powers is when I put my "he's my special little guy" hat on I want him to get his powers back but when I put my "disability studies" hat on I want him to learn to live with the absence of an ability he used to have

#it's very difficult to be me lol #life #the goblin emperor #cemeteries of amalo #disability

still not emotionally ready to actually read Cemeteries of Amalo #2, but feeling those Iäna/Thara feels

When I read novels, I don't actually need to like the protagonist all that much. I don't need them to be a devastatingly kind person who stands as a beacon of decency in a dirty world and is always doing their goddamned best to make it better. But when it happens, it can feel pretty amazing.

the grief of stones if they got caught for the breaking and entering

[ID: thara and iäna from the cemeteries of amalo series drawn in mugshots like the barbie and ken mugshot meme. thara is a thin pale elf with curly hair and dark circles under his eyes. he is wearing a shabby coat and posing for a mugshot holding a card that has the initials "VB" in the corner, his name "Thara" in the center, and "Amalo" in the opposite corner. he looks anxious and stressed. iäna is a slim goblin-elven man, taller than thara, with dark skin and long braids. he poses cheekily with his sign, grinning. the sign has the same initials in the corners but says "and iäna <3" in the center. end ID]

inprnt

bonus azhanharad:

ID: a sketch of azhanharad, a large goblin man with dark skin, sideburns, and long locs joined with large rings. he wears an overcoat and a badge and is crossing his arms, looking disgruntled. end ID

#thara 'this is not how i imagined our first photographs' #iäna 'this is even BETTER than i imagined' #azhanhar-dad 'i'm not angry i'm just disappointed' #@artaline my tribute to you: the burns. the burns. they are so right. #the grief of stones #grief of stones #cemeteries of amalo #thara celehar #iäna pel thenhior #azhanharad #my art #described

i know i'm not the first person to link this article on tumblr but i don't know if it has been shared outside of a post that was originally covering a lot of other topics so it seemed worth dropping in on its own

#the goblin emperor #cemeteries of amalo #says a lot that i have been kind of hoping to see talked about for years #as someone who actively likes. the book.
