#masquerade series

[dungeonmistrix]

Reading the Masquerade series (Traitor Baru Cormorant, &c.) gave me brain bugs and I needed to draw everyone so bad!!

This is by no means a full cast, but it’s a start. Top down and left to right, Baru, Ulyu Xe, Iraji, and Aminata (heart eyes). Disclaimer: I saw someone else on Tumblr who I can’t find now, who drew Baru with this same mug and I knew I had to do it too.

I’ve drawn a Svir, which I will post at some point even though my headcanon for him has changed since then, and I still reALLY wanna draw Xate Yawa (👀)

Ianthe Tridentarius has too much propaganda for this post! Her propaganda post can be found here.

Baru Cormorant was submitted without propaganda.

Tau-indi Bosoka

nonbinary prince, an icon a legend the moment. They are in their forties. They believe in kindness and love and then try to kill themselves and then believe in love and kindness again [mod note: the submitter also included a link to this piece of fan art]

Sugar Peace

SHES SO IDEALISTIC AND DETERMINED. i love her so much. also gender goals. she doesn’t have the special powers of this series, rather she’s investigating those who can use them because she finds it very suspicious how they can keep getting away with stuff and her superiors aren’t telling her anything and belittling her for wanting to do her job. but she stands up for herself!!! she’s soooo wet cat skrunkly <33333

First time reading The Traitor Baru Cormorant, and I've never been so confused about which side the hero actually supports. And I read history books about Italy during II WW.

The  Traitor Baru Cormorant Liveblog: Chapter 1

I’m going into this mostly unspoiled and will be trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible. Here is what I know so far:

Our dear protagonist is gay, good at maths and spends her time tanking countries’ economies with the power of maths

Being gay is Not Accepted in this society

She also gets drunk a lot and is generally a disaster

There is a lady called Tain Hu who is Hot and Butch

She and Baru are gay for each other

Tain Hu dies at some point?? I think?? And then she ends up part of Baru’s brain somehow. Love how this is a thing in multiple SFF books now

These books are about colonialism

The ending of the first book will upset me for as yet unknown reasons

So with that established, on with the liveblog proper!

The colonialism is...very apparent, very real right from the beginning. A treaty, invasion ships arriving on a pretext, Baru’s mother’s language book? Yeah that’s how it happens, Dickinson knows his stuff

Love Baru’s little family, love the non-heterosexual family structure which I’m guessing will be contrasted with what we see established as a norm later on

“Today Baru went to market with a new joy: the joy of plots” little scheming baby

Baru’s autistic girl swag

Damn she is really incredibly bright and probably not wary enough yet of where she shows it. I don’t trust this cloth merchant guy at all.

Her parents are less happy than they were last season :( Their trend of happiness must be reversed :( Baby :(

Oh I hate the sound of this school, “various catalogues of sin and social failure” yeah no get away while you can girl

Yeah it’s as bad as I thought :////// and a residential school fuck no

“Or was he only a sodomite” OH NO
