Paul The Apostle (Redux)

Update of an old illustration I did of Paul from 2022

love never fails. but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Saint Paul, First Corinthians 13:8

“Palamedes, yes" she said. "My whole life, yes. Yes, forever, yes. Life is too short and love is too long."

He demanded: "Tell me how to do it, and I'll do it."

Camilla said, "Go loud."

It can't be an accident that Paul's birth is the chapter right after John 1:20. The original blueprint for lyctorhood, and then the first true alternative to lyctorhood ever carried out. The greatest act of taking and consumption vs the ultimate act of mutual self-giving. The prince of death vs the love perfected by death.

I've been banging on that drum before but I just KNOW John and Paul are supposed to be parallels and foils. I won't pretend to know how exactly, but God how I want to find out.

Time for Paul!!

I love them so much and I really feel we are not ready for their energy, but I'm so excited for it anyway.

"He had the eyes of a very beautiful person, trapped in resting bitch face."

"He smiled, and with that strange alchemy he was made lovely."

“I can give you some more,” said Camilla. “There’s a spoonful left, somewhere in here.”

“Camilla Hect,” said Palamedes, “I would slap you—except Naberius Tern trying to slap you would force me to kick my own ass.”
