GUYS GUYS WAIT I HAVE AN IDEA ??

So we know Lenore went kinda coocoo from Theo’s death from the tree, she was in a wheelchair, panic attacks all that stuff. Then Ms Gaslight Gatekeeper Girlboss shows up, they fall in love, Annabel leaves.

HERES THE GOOD STUFF

We know Lenore cut her hair and everything to become a man so she could stay with Annabel and marry her. SHE SET HER HOUSE ON FIRE WITH THE ETHER THE NURSES AND MAIDS WERE USING TO “CALM HER DOWN” OR BASICALLY KNOCK HER OUT OR DRUG HER.

I did my research for the lovely guy Edgar Allen Poe and his poem for Lenore, and figured out that Lenore, in the poem, had died from tuberculosis. What’s tuberculosis? A disease that affects your lungs, and that can only be transmitted through the air. I did more research and found the possible causes of tuberculosis, one is FIRE. The smoke can infect your lungs and you can develop tuberculosis. what did Lenore do? Set her house on FIRE.

But that’s not it.

What if Lenore’s specter is not base on her actual death, which could have possibly been from illness or being shot through the head on their wedding day (go ahead and ask me about that theory), but it is supposed to relate or be based around her metaphorical death. THE DEATH OF LENORE BEFORE MEETING ANNABEL AND THE REBIRTH OF HER AS LEO AND/OR LENORE THAT HAD A CAUSE AND WILL TO LIVE BECAUSE OF ANNABEL.

I see the shadow from the top left on Lenore’s face as the shadow of her past, the Lenore from before. Whom was dark and lonely and sad, all that. And the bottom right light as the light a new brightness of her new life. Her freedom.

AND

I think her specter will be related to the fire half. With a little more research, I found a Celtic/Gaelic goddess of fire by the name of Brighid, Hephaestus who’s also a god of fire, a dragon related specter due to the fire relation. But if we take the shot through the head-mental illness route, the Fay/fae of the British Isles or otherwise changlelings, whom are associated with mental disorders/illnesses, and due to Lenore taking up a new identity.

NOW

None of these are confirmed or true, this is just my headcannons and theories, please do not take them the wrong way. I love Nevermore and….most of the characters in it (cough cough Montressor) However if you do like these theories or have your own ideas or want to share, please do, send and ask or question and I’ll do my best to respond to them.

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so

Get a wet paper towel and wipe up the last line of dust with it. No fate is so immovable that we cannot change it.

"No fate is so immovable that we cannot change it" is a raw and inspiring quote I did not expect from a post about a minor chore annoyance xD

Here's some for food for yall!!

My next post might be more Paranormal Investigators au (specifically involving the caramelldansen 👀)

Or art of Phoebes Happy Family au because THE LORE GOT DAMN

Lucille, walking into Lenore’s room: Lenore-

Lucille, sees Lenore happily cuddled into bed with Annabel: ... Never mind.

[Later]

Lucille, walking in to the garden to see Berenice on Lenore’s lap as they chat about something: Huh.

[even more later]

Lucille, sees Lenore walking around hold hands with Eulalie:

Lucille: Alright, that’s enough. *calls Thaddeus*

Thaddeus, picking up: Hello?

Lucille: Your daughter’s being a fucking whore. *ends call*

Thaddeus: What-

Meanwhile Theo is the exact opposite with his number one mostest closest just a bestie above the restie hUnTiNg CoMpAnIoN who he can’t even look in the eye fer longer than 47 seconds lest the tension build up between them so he hastily looks away, his hand still tingling from the way their fingertips brushed as Bear handed him his hunting gun

Lucille, taking a fat swig of her wine bottle: So we have a whore daughter and a biblically repressed son, none of which can give us grandchildren… how lovely

Thaddues, head in his hands: Where did we go wrong?

For context yall bear is Theo’s gayass HuNtInG cOmPaNiOn who is a big stronk himbo

Lucille: I need ONE of yall to gimme grandkids i don’t care HOW we just need someone to carry on the business after you two.

Lenore: Uhhhh

Lenore, pulls morella over: Will this work?

Lucille: .. Yeah sure.
