I stand at the window of this great house in the south of France as night falls, the night which is leading me to the most terrible morning of my life.

The first thing you find out when yer dog learn to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say. About anything.
No you don't understand it's his stupid goddamn ruddy great dog that he never wanted but who hung around anyway and who followed him thru the swamp and who bit Aaron when he was trying to choke him and who found Viola when she was lost and who's licking his hand with his little pink and whose eye is still mostly squinted shut from where Mr Prentiss Jr kicked him and whose tail is way way shorter from when Matthew Lyle cut it off when his dog went after a man with a machete to save him and who's right there when he needs pulling back from the darkness he falls into and who tells him who I am whenever I forget. AND HE FUCKING DIES!!! HE FUCKING DIES!!!!!!!! TODD NEVER WANTED HIM ANYWAY AND WHEN HE TRULY APPERICATES AND LOVES THAT GODDAMN DOG HE D I E S
Just finished the Chaos Walking series recently. Was anyone else really scared Mayor Prentiss was going to turn out to be Todd's biological father. Because there were times I thought they were gonna go there.
Did a redraw of some old Chaos Walking art I did 11 years ago but this time actually drew my own version (The first one was copied from FollowTheRiver on DA, I was 15 and wanting to learn how to draw fanart without doing photo-realism).
I remember looking though DA in the early days and seeing people draw fanart of books that hadn't yet gotten TV shows or movies and being really inspired to learn how to do that myself. I haven't really put my improved skills to work much but I'm sure 15 year old me would be beyond happy to be able to finally draw what has only been imagined in my head for years now
If you haven't read the Chaos Walking series (The Knife of Never letting Go), I would highly recommend it. The movie just doesn't do it justice.
I love Chaos Walking so much I made a Mayor Prentiss 3D model hahaaha aahahahaha...
This fandom is a graveyard but if you wanna play around w this model and pose or animate him I can send you a ZIP file. Otherwise you can view him in 3D here! VVV
Honestly I MIGHT redesign him anyway ahaha, my headcannon designs are a bit 'complex' when in the books he's probably in the most simplest outfit ever like a white tux or something lol.
Did viola dirty by not drawing her as much so i tried to make a little book progression thing like i did with todd.. i didnt like double check anything so i have NO idea if it mentions what she wears in MoM so i took some creative liberties ok🔥
