Blimunda (a.k.a. Seven-Moons) has the ability to see people (and everything else) on the inside. She’s one of three protagonists, and they’re trying to build a flying contraption in 18th century Portugal during Inquisition. Bartolomeu, the “brains” of the operation, figures out there’s something inside people - “human wills”- which are necessary to lift their contraption. And it turns out Blimunda has the power to capture those into a jar as they leave the body of dying or desperate people - so she sets off to Lisbon as a plague spreads.

My favourite character from the only required reading book I truly enjoyed in secondary school. I was tempted to pick a more international or trendier character for this anthology, but… this felt right.

Here’s my version of a Lolita cover. I tried to explain my reasoning as concisely as possible but if you want more info on Lolita and it’s history I’d recommend Lolita Podcast.

Wisptober Day 6: Vestige

 "There used to be a mage living out in the woods, say the villagers. However, if you happen upon the vestige of the old atelier, all you might ecounter is a huge beast that has forgotten how to be human.“

Is this accidentally inspired by Witch Hat Atelier? Apparently.XD (I swear I only realised while doing the finishing touches.I blame it on me adding a cape.XD)
