Description (Belated) Post-A-Thing-A-Day Month, Day 24!

Today we have possibly my OTP to end all OTPs, Alanna and George from the Song of the Lioness Quartet. I shipped them pretty much from the moment they appeared on-page together when I first read the books at age... 12? Just in case you are doubting how perf these two are, here is a snippet (mild spoilers for those of you who are concerned but, really, this book has been out since 1988):

Rising, George pulled Alanna into his arms. "So I finally tamed myself a Lioness," he whispered when they broke their kiss.
Alanna laughed. "I wouldn't call it tamed, laddy-me-love. The lady of Pirate's Swoop shouldn't be tame."
George grinned. "Particularly not when she's King's Champion to boot. That's all right then." He picked her up for another kiss.

Yeah.

Agreed I never got the whole Jon/Alanna thing. 





SPOILER: In case anyone has NOT read the books


























When he proposed I was all NOOOOOOO GEORGE YOU ARE MEANT TO BE WITH GEORGE!!! Which is just like double proved when she runs to him after Jon is a total dick about her refusal.

Oh my gosh I just about died and the cuteness overloads and oh dear this is not good that snippet is way too cute and her hair! Now I HAVE to read these. You've converted me. omygosh. No.
Also on a completely different note I really like how sharp your angles and defined your shapes are getting. Like, her bangs. And on that Piper/Jason thing before - I like her nose.
So yeah. Feels, inspiration, and I like your style. Even more.
Peace out!

I'm glad that I've converted you because I need someone to rant to about all my FEELINGS towards these books and normally you are my go-to person but then I remember that you haven't read them yet and get caught in a cesspool of frustration. So you should read them at your earliest given convenience, please & thanks. I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.


Thank you for your kind words in re. art, as well.

Book swap? I just read a really horrible book and I need to cleanse my mind.

I would say yes, but you've already taken and read them.
