Meet Pakku. He’s…very dedicated to his work. Which may-or-may not involve sniffing tapestries.

I like his jacket design.
Also, really nice expression work on this page.
Random question: Can/do the two races in this world interbreed?
That depends a LOT on who you ask. And chances are, if you DID ask, it would be akin to asking someone whether or not humans and cows make legitimate love interests. There are no publicly acknowledged halfbreeds. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Currently doing an archive trawl, and I have to say: in retrospect, this may be one of the best introductions to a character I’ve ever seen.
It definitely gets a lot about his character across quickly, doesn’t it? That makes me wonder — What did you thin when you first read it, and what you think now that you’re doing your archive trawl?
I’ll admit, when I started LL, I was intrigued but not all that invested. I liked it enough (and I trusted you enough) to keep reading, but I wasn’t like “THIS IS AWESOME” until Mizha and Tama met up. Your characters are always fantastic, so that’s what I was looking for. (I always thought your world was really neat, though.)
On a reread, though, I think that lack of investment was mostly because this is such a complex story. Reading it more or less at a sitting was much more engaging, not just because I was recognizing stuff but because it was easier to grasp what was going on and what it meant. (That’s probably just me, though. I always have that problem. I’ve had to reread Gunnerkrigg Court at least twice now to remember what the hell is going on.)
That’s when I started having the most fun, too. Characters are my favorite part of the story, and I love how everyone interacts in my cast. I can see how overwhelming everything could be at first. I tried to piece out information slowly, but it’s a whole world to take in. It makes sense that it would take a little time to settle in. I’m just glad you trusted me enough to stick with it! Thank you!
