me n my girl don't argue, she raises one eyebrow a fraction in token of her knowledge that my question is useless and even foolish, then drops a perfect curtsy and tells me she is always content to do her duty, and I go into a several day mental health crisis and promptly become terrified of her bad opinion. like a man

[muppetebbtide]

love how the goblin emperor is like a very particular bildungsroman with almost no magic, focusing on the social and emotional agonies of the fantasy of manners genre and reconsidering the classic fantasy 'quest' as a more strictly internal journey... and then you go onto the cemeteries of amalo and it's like ok so othala celehar is getting his shit absolutely rocked by the Zombies That Eat Prelates rn but after he's suffered his physical and mental wounds he'll probably go to to the teahouse and you say yayyy the teahouse #theteahouse

ID: a two-panel comic by gertritude-art of two people at a mcdonalds drive thru. the first panel features the person in the car nonchalantly saying something to the checker. the second panel features the checker holding drinks, staring back at the driver in horror. the comic has been edited to say "celehar" over the driver and "tomasaran" over the checker. end ID

Oh no! - aka Tactless, an act in three parts by Thara Celehar (from The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison)

Bonus:

Clearly they were made for each other.

[deretbeshelar]

ID: a sketch of a scene from The Grief of Stones featuring azhanharad and celehar outside at night, azhanharad glaring with his head slightly tilted and celehar speaking through gritted teeth, looking peeved. it is colored in bluish-grey with vague dark shapes in the background and pale moonlight. azhanharad is tall and broad of face and shoulders with dark skin and long dark hair in many braids, wearing a trenchcoat and a battered breastplate. celehar is shorter with white skin and hair, with a messy braid and a dark coat. end ID

gods forbid the man be concerned about you, huh thara.

[deretbeshelar]

me: hmm i kinda want to draw azhanharad again i should quickly reread his first scene to make sure im remembering what's actually mentioned about his appearance righ—

celehar:

[deretbeshelar]

thanks Grief of Stones for going above and beyond to validate my previously secret and probably predictable love of Azhanharad

ID: 1. text from The Grief of Stones that says “‘That’s as may be,’ said the subpraeceptor. ‘We are aware that Subpraeceptor Azhanharad likes to assume a paternal role in these cases, but we consider that offensive to the dead and highly inappropriate.’“ 2. a shaded sketch of Azhanharad, a broad half-elf half-goblin with thick braided hair, frowning and wearing a trenchcoat and a breastplate with the words “#1 dad” and a heart on it. end ID

[calaathmaza]

#like. before in witness i was obsessed w the fact that he very clearly does not actually hate celehar #they just cant fucking communicate with each other. they cannot read each other for shit and it's so funny

[calaathmaza]

How are Deret and Cala if handed a baby to hold?

ID: two illustrations of characters from the goblin emperor. 1) cala, a pale, lanky elf with circular glasses, holds maia and csethiro's baby out at arm’s length, tilting them side to side. his expression is delighted, and the baby wiggles in equal delight. maia is a tall, thin, dark-skinned goblin-elf wearing a jeweled circlet and white robes. he stands behind cala watching in alarm saying, “ah, cala–”. csethiro, a short, pale elf of average build wearing gray finery and a circlet, watches on from the other side of cala, grimacing slightly. 2) beshelar, a muscular elf with pale skin and an undercut, wearing padded livery, cradles the baby. his expression is calm and he is focused on the child, who is nestled comfortably against his chest. maia and csethiro look on in amazement, deep lines under their eyes. maia says, “Lady of Stars,” and csethiro says, “the baby’s sleeping.” end ID
