Morning Doodle: “I am going to kill you.” “So long as you kiss me again before you do.” (Leigh Bardugo’s Rule of Wolves CH 46)

*Quote taken out of context, but I think we all know they would say this on the regular

Morning Doodle: “Everything about this place set her teeth on edge. It felt as if something was watching her from the domes of the cathedral, from the shadows of the trees.” (Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 11)

Morning Doodle: “Why must all of your Saints be martyred?” Yuri blinked. “Because … because it shows a willingness to sacrifice.” “Do you think Lizabeta was willing to be pulled apart? How about Demyan when he was stoned to death? Or Ilya, chained and thrown into a river to drown?”(Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 11)

Morning Doodle: “And this is the woman who is supposed to be answering the people’s prayers.” Zoya snapped a rose from its stem, ignoring the horrified gasp of the local priest. Its scent was cloying.“ (Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 11)

Morning Doodle: Super full work schedule this weekend! I’m gonna have to re-arrange my priorities a bit to fix my awful work/life balance and sleep schedule. I maaaayyyyyy have made a few bad life decisions lately... (okay, the bad decision was joining a Raiding Guild on p99 EverQuest when I clearly don’t have that kind of time)

Also, don’t sit at your desk like this.

Morning Doodle: Custom Eye Masks and Silk Pillowcovers

[kolarpem]

Morning Doodles: “What was Lizabeta’s story?” Nikolai asked. His voice was taut, but the others didn’t seem to notice. “It is both beautiful and tragic,” Yuri said enthusiastically. Zoya wanted to knock him into the roses. “Aren’t all martyrdoms built to look that way?” (Leigh Bardugo's King of Scars CH 11)

[kolarpem]

Morning Doodle: “The others’ eyes were locked on the statue, but before Nikolai could yank the cuff of his glove back into place, Zoya glimpsed the dark veining at his wrist pulse black“ (Leigh Bardugo's King of Scars CH 11)

Morning Doodle: “In the valley below, Zoya could just glimpse the sprawl of Kribirsk in the distance and the glimmer of the dead white sands that had once been the Shadow Fold beyond. They were close.” (Leigh Bardugo's King of Scars CH 11)

Morning Doodle: Pretty Tired

[kolarpem]

Morning Doodle: “Look,” said Tolya, and she heard new reverence in his voice. Black tears ran from Lizabeta’s eyes. They gleamed hard as obsidian, as if they’d frozen there or been cast in stone themselves. (Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 11)
