tom if he were on london during the panzerstadt-bayreuth incident

[the-jenny-haniver]

I am due for a reread...

[fandomsandhappiness]

tom is doing some anchorage-in-vineland archaeology and miraculously manages to dig up and repair an ancient computer and the only working screen he's ever seen that wasn't part of a superweapon. the computer appears to called a 'nintendo wii'. there's a seedy already in the slot. he fires up wii bowling and invites hester to play the first computer game anyone has played in centuries and she immediately flings the remote into the tv at full force

The girl lunged forward, shoving her aweful noseless face towards him. “Look at me!” she said, her voice all twisted by her twisted mouth. “Look at what your brave, kind Valentine did to me!” “What do you mean?” “Ask him!” she screamed. “Ask him what he did to Hester Shaw!”

Some thoughts on Hester, inspired by this post from @alishatheninth

Part of the tragedy of Tom and Hester's relationship is that she tries so hard to be better for him. She really does try to make the choices a “good person” would make, the choices that Tom himself would make, to do things his way, but ultimately the way she knows of getting things done, the thing she's best at, is violence and killing and having no mercy for her enemies.

She doesn't know how to learn anything else either; she's far too restless for the patience and stillness that change would take, even when that stillness is forced upon her, and she genuinely believes that everyone (including herself) is better off with her as an outcast from society.

[capaldofilcumbergirl]

Yes. But the thing is that she never really stops trying. After all the shit she's been through, she still tries. She is haunted by her trauma and past and father and yet she never stops trying.

Congratulations! You are present for my annual single Mortal Engines drawing!  Based on a fic I once wrote about Hester, Tom, and, most importantly, frogs

See you all again next year!

This is for my mother

A "ghibli style" fan animation I created for Mortal Engines, combining book designs with movie designs of Hester and Valentine.

inspired by this random tweet twt put on my timeline despite me never interacting with content like that

when Mortal Engines mentioned statues of Mickey Mouse had been put in museums as gods people worshiped in 21st century I laughed my ass off, but now I’m not so sure I find it funny anymore

3 years later and it finally came true <3

Work break doodle of Fever Crumb, from Fever Crumb  by Philip Reeve. I’m only a few chapters in, but it’s very promising. Such interesting world building! 

Fever’s the adopted daughter of the Order of Engineers, basically a sort of monastery in 30th century London. She shaves her head every other morning.

Anyways. Back to work. Or maybe I’ll go read…
