thinking about just how sudden and cruel Jessamine's assassination was. Corvo and Emily suddenly ripped out of their regular lives.

Corvo has only just returned after months of being separated from his family. he only stepped off the ship, barely made it to the Tower, didn't even walk through the front door before he watched Jessamine be murdered. his luggage was probably still on the ship, all his dirty clothes, warm coats for Tyvia and light silks for Sekonos, his journal and maybe a spare weapon, the nice coat for when he is meeting up with the rulers of the different isles. the little gifts he most likely collected through his travels across the Empire, for Jessamine and for Emily and maybe some members of the Tower staff that he is fond of. did he bring back candy he loved as a child so that Emily could finally try them? where did his personal correspondence go?

what about Emily? she was taken and kept locked up in the Golden Cat, and we hear her mention her doll, but what other things were left behind? her favourite cup, the plants at her windowsill? her collection of drawings, and the notebooks she kept for her lessons, paints and music instruments that she was learning to play as every proper lady should? where are her favourite fairytale books now? her wardrobe, her favourite shoes, the little hair ornaments Jessamine would tuck into her hair for all the parties and balls?

and what of Jessamine? with no family to set away memorabilia, sort through her things, her diaries and notes and letters that were waiting for an answer? the private ones, that she kept hidden away so no one could read them but her? did she have a favourite tea blend that now sits abandoned in the Tower kitchens?

we do not see their rooms, once we return to the Tower to take out Burrows. it is almost like the royal family never existed, and I must wonder: what happened with what remained behind of their lives, after Jessamine died?

Just a thought that keeps grabbing my attention; anyone else get similar vibes from arcane and the video game dishonored? The art style yeah, plauge in place of the gray, heros and mysterious powers? I gotta know if even one other person understands this very niche interest. 😭

me: has no interest in having children irl

my brain for some odd reason: what if you were a dragon and you had a clutch of eggs and you had to make a nice cozy nest for them to stay warm in. and what if they hatched and you got to take care of all your hatchlings and bathe them and let them ride on your back and snuggle under your wings when you slept. and what if you got to teach them how to fly and be so proud of them when they could. what if that.

This is the first page of my comic about therianthropes and otherkin, Theri There, from September 4, 2005.

Next page.

Original notes: "This is the kind of simple pleasure that makes us who we are. Thanks to a couple of dragons: to Kistaro Windrider, for the analogy comparing the experience of bike riding to flying, and permission to use this idea for a strip; and to Baxil, who helped edit my writing so that it wouldn't sound like haiku by Yoda. Thanks also to all my friends for their overwhelming approval and support... You've helped this comic come to be. You all rock! :) "

Some new notes: I posted this first page on September 4, 2005. On September 4, 2023, my comic Theri There has just turned eighteen years old! To celebrate this anniversary, I'm going to start posting old pages of it to Tumblr each day, so that it'll be on here too. The comic's main presence should be on its Dreamwidth. During this September, I'm going to work on making its Dreamwidth look more like how I want.

Talk about this page on the Dreamwidth forum for Theri There.
