foaming at the mouth thinking about talon being illiterate again.. ik I've talked about it before but him being a shit reader or unable to is rather important to me. it's just so damn isolating.
I know it's not technically canon but I think about how tal's original writer thought he was illiterate and Marcus taught him symbols to use as a secret code and God how awful is that yk?? Marcus would rather communicate via a secret code rather than have talon learn to read bc keeping talon tethered and naive is in his best interest. it's so AWFUL. also I think Marcus would be a terrible teacher but that's an aside.
from an inside angle, having a secret code with your 'father' would probably make talon feel special, but he's still just being manipulated, it's kinda brutal. and I think talons hatred for being bad at stuff would ALSO make it harder to learn to read it's just heartbreaking.
I think on first glance using 'naive' is a weird word for him bc talon has experienced The Horrors, but being illiterate keeps him stuck in place and isolated and he doesn't even know it.
okay so I'm having a debate with my flatmates
are these all different things and if so what do you call them
Doing a little series of comics focused on Briar, Talon, and Katarina around the winter holidays. This occurs in kind of the aftermath of a fic I wrote where a) Kat and Talon made up post Katarina comic, and b) Briar managed to make friends with both of them. Thus, holiday magic. This is one of them .
Behold, the project I’ve been working on all week. Turns out drawing a beat up church is exactly what I needed to stay calm about midterms. Enjoy part one of whatever this is
In loving tribute to the centuries my ancestors spent using Christmas as an opportunity to get absolutely sloshed, as well as every time my sister and I have gotten into arguments helping Mom with the Christmas cookies, I present this.
Side note: until I started working on this little comic thingamajig, I never noticed how weird Talon’s palette is next to Katarina and Marcus. They’re all in gray and black, and then here’s Talon in a blue I’m not even sure Noxian stores sell. Not even their house has blue in it. Looks a bit funny when I’m coloring.

More Noxian Christmas. Took a big swing with the temple lighting, not sure how it turned out.
a doodle I forgot to poast, from when I read Fulgrim: The Palatine Phoenix and I was extremely amused when they mention that Ferrus taught Fulgrim about nuclear bombs back in Terra. So I drew them with a demon core lol
20, she/her | I like blue and I draw art traditionally and post it here sometimes
