the spring.

he's pretty enough, he's brutal enough, he's tall enough

GET IN HERE EASTHIES

tell me what's eating you, my vicious and brittled and mightily unethical Noldorin eighth Son of Fëanor

here. the one time Qifrey touches Olly skin to skin (barring the formal clasp of the covenant).

.3 seconds of a silly high five. 'Otsukaresama!' Qifrey says. good work? to temper even the glance of their palms together?

to know this is the hand he stays, fingers curled, in ch. 93.
it's wretched.

still leafing through the free WHA chapters:

likely superduper important moment we'll revisit whenever Easthies spills his secrets (& tells me why his Thing with Qifrey feels so intimately mean)

massive ominous emphases.

Easthies: These... are not for us to decide.
&
Vinanna: You say too much.

absolutely phenomenal.... the warmth and detail in this astounds me. these delicate springtime colors serve Coco so well. your ARTTTTTT. it astounds me

phenomenal. amazing idea (the parallels.... the Canaries!), amazing execution.

mithrun as humpty dumpty inverted. kabru is dressed like a landsknecht standing in front of a glazed window wall. the canaries line the bottom as the kings men. they are all dressed in medieval german wear. text "All the king's horses and all the king's men could not put mithrun back together again" the goat demon is drawn like an illuminated letter A

my second piece for @storyindungeon.bsky.social ! humpty dumpty had a great fall...

the storytelling in this piece is incredible... i want to just dwell in these images -- almost-fragments. almost-memories. wow!

oh my god that is SUCH a brilliant idea, and woeeeefully missable

yowza, i don't think i even noticed a scene or moment through Tartah's eyes

(witch hat kitchen is apocrypha. to me.)

eat shit… da yo ♡

each time Olruggio is about to make a grave accusation, he begins with 'naa, qifrey' (tr. say, qifrey / is that right, qifrey). it's, all told, a gentle way to confront. he's very obviously angered by what he believes Qifrey's doing, but he's willing to hear he's wrong. he wants to be wrong.

Qifo's nickname for brushbug is 'FunFun' (from 'fudemushi' [brushbug]).

(Qifrey: ehhhhh, i thought [the name] was cute, FunFun.
you dislike it that much?)

gonna be honest:
it is super hot. to me. that no one can get Qifrey feral & raw in an INSTANT like Easthies can.
it's like. he immediately will return to being polite & soft with his speech, but: it's essential he acts as a hater first.
Exhibit. B. his reaction upon seeing Eas: 'uwaa.'
lmfaooo

Qifrey: 'Ahahahaha
so peaceful (nodoka nodoka)'

he's so cute... i just know his nails are digging crescents into his right palm

Qifrey quite literally tells Easthies to eat shit (kuso kurae da yo / can also be 'fuck off'), appending his cutesy 'da yo' as if he's not just gone feral in an instant --
in 2nd panel immediately returns to cutesy 'da ne' like he didn't just use the coarsest language we will/have ever seen him use

rip to イケめがね
i will repeat it ad nauseam in my Qifrey expositions, lest we forget

well that is fuel to my yearning fire......

i try to keep in mind what toni morrison said about the times she would take breaks from writing. something about thinking of that quieter time as 'refilling the well' -- i know it's different for everyone, but framing it like that helps me a bit!

on a daily basis i remind myself there is no expiration date on creating and sharing one's own vision!! there is space AND time and we'll get there.
but god the hungerrrrr

zine fests and independent comics showcases this weekend......
creation is amazing. artists are amazing. would that i could (re)join them and partake in that amazing energy like right this very moment
