pickSpectacular. Equal parts joy and sadness with regards to the potential of developing a skill, a creative outlet, sharing life with family and friends, addressing loss that comes with war, with the death of a parent. The sinister element of the liches, the idea of refusing death, spirits not at rest hungering for power, also feels like a metaphor for how war devastates, can traumatize survivors. 1/?

The world building and art had me smiling the whole way through (minus the creepy parts).
Also, hurray for trans character rep with acknowledgement of top surgery! Still feels exceptional to see, so glad whenever I do. 4d
