#26: The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman

It was a pity about the poison in her wine-glass, Irene reflected.

She also regretted the lack of money with which to bribe guards, a good cover identity, an escape route and all the little things that made life so much easier.

A book featuring a Dragon:

sigh. i am still unsure about this pick of book.

The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman.

It technically has a dragon. He is instrumental to the book. However he is not even in full dragon form most of the book. We meet two more dragons. One in a partial(?) dragon form. One is what i would consider queer.

A tribute to my favorite quote from Hollow Knight. My biggest finished artwork so far

Genevieve Cogman's Invisible Library series is the only book series I can get through recently. Fun, fast paced and actually funny. Minimal romance, mostly just mystery and heists. There's dragons and faeries but in like a chill way.

Every single character is a vibe and I want to go to the Library extremely badly.

Here we go, have some more Malevolent fanart for a delightful fic I've been reading recently~

In this case it's Yellow City by @late-to-the-magnus-archives and it's the second one in a series.

I don't wanna spoil much, and being a second fic, it definitely is spoilery to some degree, but I will just say that one of the main concepts in Yellow City is Arthur Lester living in Carcosa as the King in Yellow's pet, who, while completely insane, thinks he's a PI solving cases with his trusty partner Hastur, living his fantasy noir hero life to its fullest.

No one finds this amusing except Hastur (and of course, myself). What I've actually made is a gif with some dialogue, but I'll put it below the cut down there because it has some flickering/flashing.

Also, adding an ID this time. I feel I should do those more often u u

[ID: Animated gif: Begins with Arthur sitting down against a textured, dark greyish background, wearing a grey suit and a yellow tie, holding a newspaper in one hand and his hat in the other. He is saying 'I've got a good feeling about this one, partner' in a speech bubble. The image darkens slowly, flickering between black and the previous image for an instant, then become a second image: Arthur in the same exact pose, but but he is now sitting on a mass of coiling tentacles and the textured background is bright and golden. He is now wearing a thin, yellow tunic with a flowery pattern, and several different golden jewelry items on his hands, feet and ear, along with a ornate golden collar. His hands, also in the same position as the previous frame, are now holding tentacles that coil up his sleeves. One of them is also pressing on his cheek and ruffling his hair. Along with Arthur's speech bubble there is now another larger one, dark, with undefined borders, that answers 'Is that so, little detective?'. The font is gold and textured like a brush. The image darkens slowly again, and flickers twice, returning to the initial frame, sans speech bubbles. Below the gif, there are two images of both main frames, without the speech bubbles.]

Nesta Archeron “Lady Death” - Artist: bookishkoda

“Something metallic gleamed like sunshine in Nesta’s hand. A mask. “Nesta,” Azriel warned, panic sharpening his voice, but too late. She closed her eyes and shoved it onto her face. A strange, cold breeze swept through the tunnel.”

“Bryce had endured that wind before, in the Bone Quarter. A wind of death, of decay, of quiet. The hair on her arms rose. And her blood chilled to ice as Nesta opened her eyes to reveal only silver flame shining there. Whatever that mask was, whatever power it had … death lay within it.” …

“Mortal, an ancient, bone-dry voice whispered in Bryce’s head. You are mortal, and you shall die. Memento mori. Memento mori, memento—“

The fact that Leo can go literally anywhere on earth to be alone with his thoughts at a single moment’s notice is something that shakes around in my head all the time. Like, portals and teleportation are amazing and convenient abilities both in and out of battle, but they could also so easily be used to run away as well.

I don’t think Leo ever would, at least not most of the time. He loves his family too much, and is too dependent on their love and attention to cut himself off so suddenly like that, but it’s a very real possibility nonetheless.

It’s a good thing Leo’s overall temper is more on the mild side and he prefers going to his room or something to complete solitude, because it really is dangerous for a kid to have the ability to isolate themselves like that at their fingertips.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #and like #it doesn’t even have to be on purpose either #anything could happen where Leo goes out to travel real quick somewhere and suddenly he can’t get back #sure Donnie has the trackers but trackers only do so much when the one you’re tracking is across the globe #that one short of Leo ending up trapped hanging off the Eiffel Tower all alone when he’s still new to portaling #is actually a bit terrifying when viewed through a more serious adult lens #don’t mind me just doing what I like to do best aka think about Leo and his abilities #I’m still saying tho that his abilities make running away so easily #and he’s quite good at that #even if he’s physically there his MASK lets him run away from truly processing unwanted situations or conversations #imagine Draxum telling the boys about the other hidden cities and Leo takes it upon himself to go scout them out #and he does so going around and letting his bros know of the cities he finds here and there #only to end up in one that cuts off foreign mystic energy #like imagine being suddenly cut off and alone #this ability can be SO USEFUL up until it’s cut off midway and suddenly uh oh it’s horrifying

There was really nothing Irene could do but try not to laugh. When the course of events became quite so impossibly dangerous, the best thing to do was to ride with it.

#the invisible library #the masked city #honestly hijinks is not what kai does #but im not renaming my tag for him #shifter books is too boring tho #whats the point of being able to shift if you arent going to have hijinks #alistair from Hijinks with a hellound has def said that
