Wildlife Fact File: 025 White-Crowned Shingleback )

The white-crowned shingleback, which is not a particularly dangerous snake. Its bite makes you sick for like a day then you're fine. Bit longer for the particularly young or particularly old but nobody's ever died after being bitten by one.

DISCLAIMER All mine
WARNINGS None
NOTES Chapter is not moving. Suspecting that not having been inside Kurae's head for ages is perhaps part of the problem, I decided to write something completely unrelated with him to see if that jogs anything. This came remarkably easy, though, so now my suspicion is more the story than the character. Something needs prodding. Anyway. This one's about potatoes. Because potatoes are awesome.

===


Potatoes were fantastic. The most versatile of foods, they could be mashed and made luxuriously smooth with cream, baked to make the skin crispy and beautiful, chopped up to add bulk to a stew. Kurae’s favourite method was to cut them into long, chunky fingers and bake them. He could never do it properly on missions, never had enough room for all the ingredients or the time required that would take them to the next level. All he could do then was salt them, stick them in the iron mini-oven to bury them under the coals of the fire and hope it was hot enough to crisp them up. Usually they worked out well enough, but they were nothing like what he could make at home.

Yeah. Twins. They had to be posted on the same day, even if it meant holding off on Nimay until Yamin was ready. HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS I DID IT. I haven't had internet for the entirety of the final six characters (and still don't, if you're curious) but I DID IT.

Character 145: Madame Yamin )

Another of those I've been jointly reallyreally looking forward to and reallyreally dreading at the same time. And not just because his 'brief' bio spans a thousand years. Good god that thing's going to be a history of the world.

Character 143: King Yan )

He made a very, very strong case for being #143 but in the end Yan's just more a more important character. But he tried so hard he really did. POV character and royalty and everything. Sorry bb but Yan will always have your arse. Nol will always be my baby though ♥

Character 142: Crown Prince Nolryn )

Man, Mithé has been through so many redesigns, mostly because I've never known how to draw old dudes before. But now I do yaaaay.

So it turns out the Kazinians aren't the only ones who have high ranking officials in their army. Goddamnit I've already done this nine times for them.

Character 133: First General Niloren )

I only realised well after both Lady Mina and Princess Mina were established that they have the same name. Which, yeah, happens in real life of course, but happening in a story is awkward.

Character 130: Lady Mina )

I lied when I said I'd done the last of the historical figures. I completely forgot about Qewir. So much so that he only ended up in the box at all a couple of weeks ago. Sorry Qewir D:

Actually typing this up before finishing the picture. I did the sketch on the laptop, at which point it told me I should do a disk scan saying it could take 'several minutes'. Silly me didn't back up straight to Penguin to keep drawing while it was scanning, and 3 hours later it's still going.

Character 128: Leru )
