This Was Meant To Be A Quick Warm Up, But It Turned Into A Comic That I’ve Wanted To Draw For A While.

What does it means to be loved by Death?

No pain

(Anne Rice)

Sorry, this quote just lives rent free in my mind since I first read it and it's just perfect for Agatha, Nicky and Rio😢

Death's beloveds

They'll speak of me in whispered tones and say my name like it shakes their bones - a Captain Flint/James McGraw playlist

~[...] 'Cause when I'll stand these folks will run and tell the tales of what I've become ~

My humble tribute to this incredible character and his equally incredible story.

Hope this makes him justice.

GENERAL / BOOK 1 REFERENCES

Q14. TGCF characters’ heights?

Xie Lian 178cm (but can perfectly seem like 180), Hua Chen 190 (first appearance as a cute fresh youth was 185cm), Jun Wu 191, Feng Xin 188, Mu Qing 188, Mo Shui 189, Shi Wudu 187, Shi Qinxuan 186 (woman form 176), Pei Ming 188, Ling Wen 180, Quan Yizhen 184 (but has a very tall presence), Yin Yu 186 (but miraculously no matter how tall he is it’s hard to notice this person).

PS: Yu Shi [rain master?]’s cow is 150 without standing up

Q17. What was XL doing after his second time getting banished to the human realm? What was HC doing? Why couldn’t he find XL? HC previously swore to not let XL know he’s protecting him, so why did he decide to meet XL again after 800 years?

XL tried doing other jobs, but all didn’t go too well, and would bring sadness/strife to others, so could only collect trash by himself.

HC was looking for him while also working on his skills + earning money, expanding his power, and worked hard to become the strongest dude!

Really, it was because XL’s luck was so terrible and stuck to him so closely that he couldn’t meet HC. Actually, many times they almost saw each other, like in Banyue, and also when XL was Fangxin head priest, but both times they just missed each other. Finally XL ascended by himself and CEO Hua couldn’t contain himself and rushed over.

Ghosts of the Past 

Commission art for @pinkandgreenroom 

did anyone notice emma’s face in this scene? i mean…

miranda james carriage scene you'll always be famous to me. regardless of whether you interpret his reciprocation of her interest as a genuinely sexual attraction or as more of an intellectual/emotional one, at the end of the day she was the first one possibly ever to directly and precisely cut through all his carefully crafted persona layers into the heart of who he truly is and encourage him to do something for himself for once without giving a fuck about Big Society. we know by the time he has the affair with miranda he's already pretty enthralled with thomas but he's still at the point of denying and suppressing those feelings in favor of fulfilling his civilized role ("my judgment is still intact", acting ashamed when he beat the fuck out of the other naval officer and hennessey scolds him)

dare i say that if it wasn't for miranda's encouragement to eschew societal expectations in that carriage that he may never have acted on his love for thomas. everything james did at the alfred dinner scene took immense courage, first standing up and stating what he believed in then ordering alfred out and then of course the thinly-veiled love confession with the "you're a good man" speech. it was miranda who first kicked him into this reckless "idgaf" mode and it was also alfred's insults to her at the dinner table which prompted his commitment to it. before miranda came to his defense at the table we can see he was still torn between listening to thomas' voice in his head vs. listening to hennessey's voice. it was the intervention by miranda which finally solidified his bravery in proclaiming to alfred (who also functions as a stand-in for english civilization) ykw this is fucked actually, fuck all this and fuck you specifically, i'm gonna confess my feelings to the man i love now.

flint's story began and ended with thomas but it could not have ever happened without miranda. she was his guardian and guide all the way through the entire journey. she was mistress when he needed love she was wife when he needed understanding she was also (indirectly) wingman when he needed courage. but first and before all she was Mother.

behind every great man (or great men in this case) is a great woman. etc.
