fuck you *webtoon-ifies your griddlehark*

here’s a comic i’ve been working on off-and-on for a couple months. it was a lot of fun getting to try out a scrolling format for a comic! if you actually scrolled and read this far, high five and thanks <3

Listen, I know it’s not on the list of John Gaius’ Top Ten Worst Decisions, or even on the list of his top 50 worst decisions, but putting the Sixth House, i.e. The Library, i.e. the main hub of the Empire’s knowledge, on the planet closest to Dominicus and therefore most at risk of being wiped out in a solar flare, was perhaps not his brightest moment.

What's even worse is he ""resurrected"" that nearby volcano! (Made it through his geomancy powers which are definitely very advanced necromancy trust me bro.)

But then... ( @zolanibor )

A total reset does seem to be his ultimate goal AND he's a paranoid fucker with ten billion skeletons in his closet so,,, y e a h,,,

(I also see some notes suggesting Cassiopeia, but under the circumstances I suspect it'd be like, John going ":) plant Mercury perfec t place for put archives in very Secure and Preserved archives stored safely put archives in Planet Mercury. no problems ever in plannet mercury." And Cassy went. Huh. Yeah so anyway I'm making this place space travel capable and leaving them instructions for when and how to use that. Don't tell John please and thanks.)

at this point I think alecto the ninth will be. Like. A choose your own adventure novel with chunks that are written in invisible ink and the smut scenes in cypher. Also it's upside down

[only-alter-idem]

straight people: i love you.

gay people: strike me down. you’ve won. i’ve lived my whole wretched life at your mercy, yours alone, and God knows i deserve to die at your hand. you are my only friend. i am undone without you.

I was inspired by the black-out poems made by @playing-with-colors and decided to apply it to the locked tomb series!

Palamedes my beloved

Gideon the Ninth naming system notes appreciation post

How ppl in the Locked Tomb think about their love situation with Harrow.

Ianthe: Oooooh, I am stuck in a love triangle, but I'm pretty sure I can beat Gonad easily, and Harrow will be mine.

Gideon: News flash bitch! Harrow doesn't love either of us. She's in love with a frozen corpse.

Harrow: My beloved Gideon is dead, just like the lovely lady in the Locked Tomb. Also my coworker is acting very weird for some reason.

Harrow the ninth features 3 foods, John's Tea, Ianthe's apple and harrows bone soup.

Which makes this a Bone•Apple•Tea situation

What the fuck Tamsyn?

[scarycatipillar]

just been reminded of the fact that harrow and gideon haven’t seen eachother in 2 years, which is the longest amount of time they’ve spent apart their whole lives

[deathviaroses]

i just wish they could’ve hugged 🥺

If you had one shot, or one opportunity To blow open the locked tomb via targeted infanticide One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip?

first few months of alectopause: damn can't wait until atn comes out

2023 alectopause: you know it's ok we can wait. i got some fics to write

2024 alectopause: here is 30,000 words on how john's characterization as emperor and lyctorhood interplays with colonialism, imperialism, sexual assault, and misogyny, featuring a full bibliography, a reading list, and peer reviewed by three mutuals

2025 alectopause: gideon would not fucking say that

2026 alectopause: what is everyone's blood pressure headcanons for the characters. i think harrow is orthostatic and gets a regular 90/50

[finderheart]

I can't believe it took me this long to post these I finished this like nine months ago

An idea I had for Blood of Eden propaganda/recruitment posters featuring some of our favorite guys - combo of digital-print cyberpunk graphic design style with oldschool Saturday Morning Post covers like you'd see Leyendecker paintings on

I was gonna post these ahead of tabling at a small con and selling prints of them but ended up not tabling because turns out grad school is hard

maybe next year... figured tumblr would like though
