'Why is Moth so upset?' 'I helped!' yelled Moth. 'But Hava is mad at me! It's not fair!' 'Moth is suffering from a guilty conscience,' I said crisply, 'because she knows she did not do what she was asked.' Giddon's eyes were suddenly mild, and maybe a little amused. 'A taste of your own medicine?'

Hey Designers,
This is my fanart collage from The Graceling series. Again, I did not make this art. Rather, I just collaged it.
what the hell is wrong with him
"Bitterblue," said Giddon, taking her chin in his hand. Looking into her eyes. "There's nothing I want more in the world than to be your person while you're being the Queen of Monsea. Everyone expects you to be their support. Well, I want to be yours." Tears began to run down Bitterblue's face. "With all our horrid children gathered around our knees," he added. Now Bitterblue was laughing outright.
Ngl I don't particularly want to get into the animation industry since it looks so stressful and too much for me, but part of me wants to get into it JUST to make animated shows of my favourite books series.
Like, could you imagine this fluid animated battle scene of Xingyin where she's battling demon realm soldiers with the Jade Dragon Bow, stylised sky-fire raining down and using camera angles to accentuate her skill and technique with the bow??? Or a slow motion scene of Lovisa walking through the snow as she wonders what to do about her parents and her growing suspicions?? Katsa moving in the shadows as she works alongside Giddon??
The art direction that could be done for designing the cities and towns?? Like could you imagine Graceling, Winterkeep, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, etc all getting the Castlevania treatment with beautiful art and cinematography??
It'd be so cool...
i am 1) a giddon stan, 2) a giddon apologist, & 2) a lover of giddon x bitterblue
sue me
post winterkeep thoughts: I would literally die for bitterblue
