In the Wasteland

I just realized I’m too late to be the first one to draw this so I guess I don’t get $5 but if anyone else feels like giving me money my ko-fi is https://ko-fi.com/kayleigh

You are by no means too late this is PERFECT and $5 is on its way to you as we speech

Thank you!!

I had an epiphany

just a few posts i’ve tagged gideon and harrow

delighted by the fact that this staff favorites table just holds all of the locked tomb books. emily, you’re a real one.

Manifesting a full resurrection and perfect lyctorhood for Lesbian Jesus on this most holy Easter Day.

Sometimes hanging out with Gideon and Harrow is a questionable decision for Cam and Pal.

More conversations with my gf turned into the Locked Tomb comics.

The Locked Boop

Some days I truly feel like TLT has ruined... books for me. Like, I don't even like ACOTAR but I can think of at least four series that are basically ACOTAR with dragons, ACOTAR with gods, ACOTAR with vampires, ACOTAR with witches, and that's just off the top of my head.

But there's truly nothing out there that captures all or even some of the elements that enthralled me about TLT. The characters, the character dynamics, the magic system, the voice, the mix of science fiction and fantasy, the prose that knows exactly when to be funny and when to be serious, the queernorm world-building and variety of lesbian genders... It does not exist. Even if I find something with similar themes it will be bland fantasy voice and (most likely) boring straight ship of fem4fem.

It's even ruined audiobooks narrators because no one can compare to moira quirk and her sexy accent and wonderfully animated narration that makes the characters come to life.

And it makes me really sad to think i might never discover another series I love as much as this one. Not even close.

I should also clarify, that for me, it wasn't just that TLT are Very Good books (which they are. very) but they also straight up changed my brain chemistry. They helped me discover and accept my sexuality and changed my approach to writing and reading (ie i no longer care about books that aren't about women.)

It's near impossible to find books that affect you like that.

hey guys im changing my art style, im done with stupid silly nonsense. im only making REAL griddlehark now

Nova au work doodle~

thinking about the iconic Gideon-line "I'd died knowing you'd hate me for dying" and how at the same time Harrow is screaming "she died because I let her, you don't understand" Harrow doesn't hate Gideon for dying; she hates herself for letting Gideon die

Love that this is what Gideon thinks about while skipping leg day

So much about this song (Cry for Judas) screams griddlehark to me. They are the ones who don't slow down at all, with nobody there to catch them when they fall. Hallucinate a shady grove where griddle when to die. And these lines, with Harrow and Gideon being (respectively) sad and angry. Artist Credit: @callairo

Is this anything
