The Magpie Lord - Tumblr Posts

“There are a number of recommended methods of dealing with ghosts—salt and iron, harmonic resonance, some people swear by exorcism, and not just the priests—but that’s the first time I’ve seen anyone try a left hook.”

Two death sentences? Really? I mean, you look very well, considering.

I’d have liked more time with you.” “A lot more time. Stephen, you’re the only spark of light I’ve encountered in this whole vile country. You’re extraordinary. You’re valuable. And I don’t want you to die because of me.

Poem about the moon

Lucien Vaudrey, high on life after getting a curse removed, waxing poetic about the moon. A Charm of Magpies is probably my favourite series, and listening to the audiobooks again put me in the mood for art ^_^

So, my Chinese (Mandarin) is pretty basic (apologies for the poor handwriting!). Certainly not good enough to be composing poetry. So I have Crane reciting the first two lines of the famous Tang Dynasty poem Looking At The Moon And Thinking Of One Far Away (望月怀远 ) by Zhang Jiuling (张九龄).

LOL!  Oh I love this.  Poor Stephen. ‘Just because I’m short doesn’t make me a magical girl!”  Crane would take far too much enjoyment of Stephen dressed as a magical girl. 

Now I’m imagining a Magpie Lord/Card Captor Sakura crossover.  Crane and Tomoyo would bond over a shared love of clothes and forcibly dressing people up ... the more I think on this the more I’m convinced that Lord Crane and Tomoyo meeting would be fantastic (for the readers) and terrifying for everyone else. 

Sometimes, these absurd ideas just pop into my head. I’m sorry. Only not really.

Lord Crane and his pet murderers 😌✨

Got inspired by a super cool piece from @magickkart and wanted to try it in my style! I absolutely love the Magpie Lord series by KJ Charles and wanted to do some art for it
