You Have Become Important To Me, More Important Than I Could Have Imagined.

You have become important to me, more important than I could have imagined.

i saw this and couldn't resist doing a small sketch

and yet the hands are still there.

Now that I have a Lightbox I can take updated photos of Archibald Asparagus Saint Sebastian

one of the most challenging skills i've had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i'm proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off

Probably a controversial take but why tf do people keep calling Vivienne a noble. She's not.

She's Bastien's *mistress* not his wife.

She's a Circle mage. There is a ban on mages holding political power and what power she has she gained through hard work and cunning.

Her parents were Rivaini commoners and she was born poor in Wycome in the Free Marches.

Originally the position of court mage was little more than a court jester. Vivienne turned it into one of respect. She survived multiple assassination attempts and half of those bards she sent back frozen solid and the other half she *recruited.*

Officially her only titles are First Enchanter and (conditionally) Grand Enchanter or Divine. Madame de Fer is implied to be originally an insult that Vivienne claimed and turned into a mark of respect.
