Happy Halloween old kingdom pals 🎃

This wouldn’t leave my head, so here you go ( ^-^)ノ∠※。.:*:・'°☆

Abhorsen Belatiel has some unconventional ideas about the punishment of Free Magic creatures. However, Clariel thinks he’s not off the hook.

[In case you can’t read my handwriting:

Az: I tried to kill the King and break the Charter.

Baaz: I helped.

Mogget: I manipulate at-risk youth into becoming Free Magic sorcerers when I’m bored, and I don’t even feel bad about it.

Belatiel: I didn’t take Clariel to the Great Forest because I was being a weenie! (Also I whined about the Friendzone.)]

Happy Easter everyone! Especially to the Old Kingdom fandom! You bet I didn’t forget to make some cool fandom easter eggs this year!

 I made two eggs - one with the Old Kingdom series’ 4 most important girls (Sabriel, Lirael, Clariel, Ferin), and one with the series’ 4 most important boys (Touchstone, Nick, Belatiel, and Sameth).

Character sketches to pass the time on long train rides. Working out different poses with Aziminil because I'm addicted to drawing her weird anatomy, then Clariel's full outfit (probably she's thinking about stabbing Aronzo with her small knife), then Jaciel because even though she's super problematic I still love her like I love all terrifying middle-age woman characters, then Belatiel with his bad haircut (about a week before Clariel showed up Denima tried to give him a bowl cut and it didn't quite work out...)

Can I just say how much I love the fact that of the three Abhorsens/Abhorsens-in-Waiting that we get to know really well in the Old Kingdom series, the only chatty and optimistic character is the male one. They’re such stereotypically feminine traits, but Belatiel just rocks them with no shame

so I’ve seen people headcanon that Clariel(/Chlorr) and Belatiel have a final confrontation decades later as enemies, and I definitely agree with that. 

But imagine the music from Zuko and Azula’s last Agni Kai playing while they fight ;____;

....not that I think Clariel and Bel are particularly analogous to Azula and Zuko, but if anything the fight might be visually similar (with Clariel wielding white/blue Free Magic fire and lighting and Bel fighting with golden Charter fire), and also the mood and tragedy of that situation/piece of music and the history between them fits so perfectly

Denima is such a minor character, but from what we do see of her she seems like such a sweet, good cinnamon roll honestly? Bel is so, so lucky to have someone like her around and I’m mad at him whenever he takes her for granted.

Also my new headcanon (that actually makes her and her actions at the Academy especially make more sense, imo) is that she’s bi, and also has a crush on Clariel, as well as Bel. But she’s much more perceptive than Bel, and she sees that Clariel is aro-ace basically right away and accepts that also she’s a lot better at not behaving painfully awkwardly like Bel

Belatiel: wow the stars are beautiful tonight

Clariel: Mm-hmm. You know what else is beautiful?

Belatiel: *blushes* what?

Clariel: the Great Forest
