Camilla Hect my beloved
The sixth house is here and owns my entire soul.
“Fiat lux! If you want to talk improbable, let’s talk about this”—a scrape of stone on stone—“being three thousand and some years older than this.” A heavy clunk.
“Inexplicable, Warden.”
“Certainly not. Like everything else in this ridiculous conglomeration of cooling gas, it’s perfectly explicable, I just need to explic-it.”
“Indubitable, Warden.”
“Stop that. I need you listening, not racking your brain for rare negatives. Either this entire building was scavenged from a garbage hopper, or I am being systematically lied to on a molecular level.”
“Maybe the building’s shy.”
“That is just tough shit for the building.”
I am a sucker for literal soul mates. Like people who share a body. I love that shit so much and I want more. I am accepting recommendations.
happy (late) valentine's day to my beautiful wife camilla hect
shout out to women
Maybe that makes it all worth it.
This has been sitting thumbed out in my sketchbook for almost a year now so I'm glad to have it out in the world now.
Thought I'd include some of my favourite stills from this:

✍️ Of the supporting characters, who's POV would you be most interested in reading?
I say this with my whole chest:
CAMILLA HECT
Not only has she been in every book so far (more than the protag's even), she is smart and quiet about it. I want to know her feelings going to the First. I want to meet the bitterness she feels when "Dulcinea" does not know the Sixth. I want to find her grief for Palamedes and hold it gently in my hands.
Even more, I want to know her side of the story in HtN; how did BoE come to trust them enough to take Nona and go rent a place, what happened between Judith, Corona and Camilla when they lost Gideon's body, how Camilla came to trust Pyrrha. Camilla's reaction to Palamedes suddenly being able to take over her body and how they figured it out.
I want an in-depth description of her emotional breakdown when Palamedes offers their version of Lyctorhood up to her and she bursts into tears on the spot. I want to know her last thoughts as her and Pal's souls merge.
six for the truth over solace in lies;
sometimes a family can be an illiterate 19 yr old, a scary lady, a dead librarian inhabiting the body of said scary lady, an ass joke addict with muscles for days, and Noodle
The bday she deserves :) later they’ll go to the beach with all the dogs and the water won’t be infested by deadly jellyfishes
Nona learns how to use a camera
nona!! sweet nona!!! LITTLE BOOK MOST BELOVED!! i just finished it this weekend and am bursting with delight. i think women can do whatever they want
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like
“I hope you know that I adore you, Scholar.”
"Time’s up," he said. "Give this to Cam for me, will you?"
And he spread Nona’s fingers like he always did, and he quietly kissed the second right-hand knuckle.

my favourite second cousins whomst i miss very dearly
Aaand the gift for the second bidder @a-big-apple for fandom trumps hate is done. Please read the wonderful fic the art is based on! It's sooo good! I had a great time working on this. Drawing Nona and her family is always an absolute delight!!
coloring practice w some tlt gals!
cam, my favourite jerd (jock nerd)
used vinesh phogat as a reference for her, as suggested by @threesday here :)
totally not relevant to Palamedes or nurse outfits BUT hypothetically what would Camilla wear to a costume party?
To the person who said to please put Pal in the little nurse outfit, I have to literally stop myself from opening up a Procreate file!! He deserves to be slutty
Nona asking Cam what Pal thinks is sexy, and her saying “strong work ethic and high test scores” only for him to later rush into the room and answer “those little outfits nurses wear” is a perfect alignment of the two as characters
it is so funny to me that palamedes and camilla are set up as The Reasonable People in gtn and continue to be viewed though that lens by many other characters throughout the books but every single book just strengthens the hypothesis that they are actually kind of insane. like. they are absolutely unhinged. palamedes made himself a river bubble despite all existing evidence saying it was impossible to do and camilla scraped 96 tiny skull fragments off the floor and glued them together and they shared a physical form for six months and at the end of things they chose mutual destruction rather than confront the possibility of one person continuing to exist without the other. all of these things are backed up with theorems and mathematics but it does not change the fact that they’re not quite the actions of Normal People
I saw a tag on ao3 referring to Sixth and Ninth House as Team 69 and I just?? That’s so funny?
