Books are a special kind of poison. They soothe every ache inside of you while making you long for things that don't exist. They make you feel alive while simultaneously making life seem more and more dull with every page you read. Reading makes you feel less alone and yet it creates an ache for companionship - the likes of which you will never know outside of those pages.
Books are a poison I wish I had never drunk, but now that I have - it's the one thing keeping me alive.
Ilva Holdfast to Helena: "no matter how much you've romanticized Kaine Ferron, he's not a person, he's a monster."
Helena, I and everyone else who romanticized him, feeling called out:
"If he's a monster, then I'm his creator" - Helena Marino, Alchemised
...rough work in progress detail from a larger illustration inspired by @senlinyu 's Alchemised. still got a way to go before it's finished.
mixed media: pencils, ink, digital illustration
Kaine:
P.S: giving gifts is also one of his love languages.
Helena:
Helena: it is a bit too warm today
Kaine:

Damon Salvatore and Kaine Ferron were both placed in the "my girlfriend (H)elena forgot about me" category.
Helena Marino is the personification of Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?, Guilty as Sin?, The Alchemy and Cassandra.
No, the stupid way I kick my feet and laugh like a fool when Kaine says "You're mine" to Helena
Kaine most of the time: ☠️😡
Kaine, after Helena shows that she also likes him: 🥰🫡
I can't be the only one who spends all their time going back to Part 1 to check references while reading Part 2. Yes, reading this book is an extraordinary experience.
The metaphor about the people close to Helena preferring her hair up is very clever; it suggests that they don't see or accept her for who she truly is, and reflects her own urgent need to conform to that standard in order to be accepted. When she feels out of control and vulnerable after kissing Kaine and him talking about how much he likes her hair down, her first thought is to tie it up. This is to distance herself from her feelings and regain acceptance.
Why didn't anyone tell me that one of the most romantic scenes in Alchemised would be Kaine ruthlessly killing to get to Helena and save her life?
And then healing her.
And then being honest about his feelings.
Ah
and I pray, and I hope.
Can we talk about Helena's unconditional love for her friends? And how much of that was used to make her give her all for a cause that didn't even recognize her worth or her abilities? I hate to think that she gave so much of herself and not even her closest friends knew how much. I hate to think that Kaine was right — in part — about her giving so much of herself for nothing in return.
Reading chapter 37 of Alchemised is like: (yes, I know this won't last, BUT DAMN I really needed this bit of comfort)
Edit. 1: OMG chapters 51 and 52 DESERVE this reaction too
