I’ve revamped my sketches of Father Gernot and colored them! Also censored the appropriate parts (you can see the uncensored version on Bluesky).

Enjoy our favorite evil abbot and his silly hairstyle! 😈

To a Wreath of Snow, by Emily Brontë.

Winter has a very multifaceted meaning to me. It can symbolise the termination, the transformation where we shed the coats of the old and remain bare until the new coats of spring envelope us. The snow would hit kiersau first, they should be moving with the change of season but alas, they do not change and this is evident across act 1 and 2. While the townsfolk and peasants visually change, all the monks and nuns at Kiersau remain as they were.

The reason for the Brontë poem is that the speaker is a female character whom Emily shared with her sister, said character is describing how she watches the snow while trapped in a prison. Gernot is far from a prisoner, he is extremely wealthy, a landlord and is living very comfortably in the Abbey. But one could say he's trapped and limited by his own tunnel vision.

But even so, the snow still falls on Kiersau. The seasons will have their way and will change, showing there's transformatory hope for even those who try to resist it. Change happens, and even if you don't want it, you can't help but admit it's quite beautiful.

I have a very niche aesthetic in mind that I need to achieve this winter (medieval herbalist monk who has his own corner in the abbey where heather falls from the roof and the room smells like mint and lavender. he works on a wooden table with ten candles lit all around, handwrites recipes and draws the plants ha finds around in a little blank book that a rich visitor gifted him some years prior. the other monks come to ask for remedies or veggies for tonight's soup. he doesn't mind the struggles of such a spartan life because with his occupation he's able to prepare warm infusions that him and his favourite brothers in christ chug down secretly while they discuss the latest monk gossip)

So, the scene where Andreas is grave robbing and Mathieu walks over… that attitude… the self control to not lose his mind and chew him a new one. His attitude was what would be expected if Andreas asked for a quill.

That, ladies gentlemen and those who know better, is how you become an archdeacon. Take notes.
