Hi hello yes I'm reading The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon and am here to bring you all to the light. It has f/f queens and mighty dragons and belovéd himbos.

1) These are beautiful, 

2) This is it. This is Loth’s facial expression throughout the whole book.

Onren is so good cause she's nice to Tané when not even Tané is willing to be nice to Tané

Ever since his hands had flushed, his dreams had left him drenched in sweat.

Loth!

“Tell me,” Nayimathun said, “how you have dishonored us.”

from The Priory of the Orange Tree–the setting, i realized now as i was looking back through the book to pull the quote (p. 309, btw) that this scene actually takes place in the dark, but while i was reading i was really struck by the tidal cave part of the setting and i love how light plays in those kinds of areas so!! anyways tané is my favorite character and i could probably read a novel on nayimathun alone so :’) had to draw ‘em

[sshannonauthor]

This is beautiful.

So I’ve been doing the six fan arts challenge with @boon_colectivo’s instagram, and I painted Ead from The Priory of the Orange Tree.

So, I did the Priory of the Orange Tree thing. There is a lot wrong here, also it’s a recreation of the bookcover. What was I thinking

However, who would win: a gigantic, ancient monster goth fire in its belly or one (1) dumbass with a sord?

The detail in this is amazing. The sheen on her watersilks, especially.

Apart from Sabrán, Ead and Nicklays, are there any other queer characters in priory?

Tané, Loth, Dumusa, Ishari, the Golden Empress, Kalyba, Lord Ranulf Heath the Younger, Sabran VII and Lady Brilda Glade (historical figures) are all queer. And Jannart, of course. I imagine several other characters as queer as well. I try to indicate queerness on the page wherever possible, but sometimes there just isn’t an obvious place to bring up a character’s sexuality and/or gender identity.

With that in mind, I encourage you not to read my books with the assumption that all characters are cishet until explicitly stated otherwise. I’m very happy for you to interpret them as queer.

Queen Sabran and Ead, from the Priory of the Orange Tree 🍊🐲🔥

Bonus: (because Ead probably)

Did a quick paint of one of my favorite scenes from The Priory of The Orange Tree, so far.
