The Skylarks bring the circus to town - including a private show for a pair of noble kids since one is under bedrest... and has a direct connection to the crown prince.

Episode 34 of our Court of Blades series is out now!

Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
White text on a black background reads "Court of Blades #34: You Must Be Proud, Bold, Pleasant, Resolute..." The corners are adorned with gold filigree and a sketch of a masquerade mask is titled slightly offside of the text.

It's time for another Court of Blades moodboard!

We may not have seen Jackson (Lee's Paramour) in the game much, but I'm not leaving them out of these!

And now we only have one paramour left. 👀
A collage of images over a speckled grey background. Int the first column is an image of a black masc figure in a suit perusing a shelf of old looking books and an image of a quill laying across a stack of papers. In the second column is a quote reading "why are you so obsessed with me?", an mage of glasses folded across a book page, and a quote reading "It all begins with how you choose to think". In the third column is a chemistry set in front of a blackboard covered in diagrams and a faceless photo of a black masc figure dressed very academically and reading from a book. In the fourth couln is a quote reading "I walked into the biology lab and saw my lab partner disecting an insect. I said 'I think your fly is down'" and an image of a glass flask on a lab table and surrounded by papers.

New #WIPWednesday, same WIPs pretty much.

We're busy right now trying to get the editing on our next episode (for some reason my life likes to fall into absolute chaos whenever it's my turn to edit an episode), but the rest of this list is also very much still on the radar!
A white text box against blue and purple background. Text reads "#WIPWednesday. Editing the next Court of Blades episode, Court of Blades Paramour moodboards, editing clips for social media, deleted scenes and bonus content for ko-fi, transcribing old episodes.”

This week's moodboard is a bit of a companion to last week's.

Wren is both Ynes' sister and Ali's ex.

Not, it's not complicated at all.

(It's very complicated)
Background of golden feathers. In the left side column is a quote image reading "the law of serendipity: lady luck favors the one who tries" and a painting of a nun looking out a window. In the center column is an image of gold light radiating from a pair of hands, a statue of lady justice, and a picrew image of a femme person with red hair and glasses. In the right hand column is a quote image that reads "it's never going to be the same between us and it kills me", a fair of hands with sparks flying from the cupped palms, and a quote image reading "It's a horrible thing to fall out of sight".

And we're BACK! Hope you missed us as much as we've missed you~

The Skylarks have championed true love, banished ghosts, saved helpless cats, and defeated the Tattered Prince themselves.

Now it's time for the biggest challenge of all: Coming Up with a Plan.

It's our first #WIPWednesday of 2024!

The start of this year is looking much like the end of last year. We're still very much in deep with Court of Blades. But we will be looking more towards new stuff in the coming months. 👀

First moodboard of the year!!

We're jumping back in with the paramours of the Skylarks with Ali's paramour, Ynes.

(But don't worry, I won't forget about her sister too).

In the left hand column is an artistic image of a peacock and a sword hilt. In the middle column is a quote reading "family. duty. honor." and a photo of a red haired woman in armor. In the right hand column is a full face blue and gold masquerade mask and a quote reading "we all break our rules for someone.”

This week's Paramour Moodboard is for Lady Zaira: mage, noble of House Bastien, and lover of the Skylark's troublesome magician, Samael.
Background is a spiral of sparks with a collage of images over it. On the left is an image of a spellbook and a drawing of two hands with magicl spiraling between them. In the middle are a quote reading "'I know her enough,' he says. 'She's fucking impetuous and daring, a little too bold and way too fucking fearless.' That sounds about right." and an image of a woman in a long black dress running down an ornate hallway. On the right are a quote reading "clever as the devil and twice as pretty" and a silhouette of a couple embracing.

We're back from the all consuming week of watching Desert Bus with a new moodboard!

This one is for Rowen, emissary of Queen Titania and paramour of the lovely Vivi.
A collage of images against a background of autumn leaves. There are two images in the left hand column. The first is of a masculine figure donning an ornate face mask, the second is of autumn leaves and vines crawling up the wall of a brick building. There are three images in the middle column. The first is white text against a black background that reads "It is my duty to protect you, Your Majesty". The second is a masculine figure from the chin down in formal wear with gold leaves embroidered on their collar. The third is out-stretched hands with gold light emanating from them. There are two images in the right hand column. This first is black text on a white background reading "a goal without a plan is just a wish". The second is a sun shaped ring on someone's middle finger.

With the peril in the Twist sewn up, it's downtime!

Time for the Skylarks to play nice with the Council and try to mitigate their shame.

Try being the operative word.

New month, more or less the same to-do list! Court of Blades still consumes us.

But, Peter is free from exams and back with us, so expect more streams and hopefully a return to our usual schedule!

Soraya, Lady of the Gilt Bridge, Queen of Cats, Witch of the Plaza, has requested the Skylarks investigate a fell presence in the Twist.

But with the party hurting from their fight with the Prince of Tatters, will they make it through the broken streets alive?

Happy first #WIPWednesday of October!

We may have finished recording for Court of Blades, but there's still lots of content to come from this arc!

And then I supposed we'll have to start thinking about what we want to do next. 🤔

After a bit of an unexpected hiatus, we are back!

The Skylarks still have their official errand to complete before the night is over. And with both their mages in bad shape, they might be in for a rough go of it…

Our next Court of Blades episode is out now wherever you get your podcasts!

Lord Lorenzo Bastien, Heir to House Bastien. 🎭👑

With all the PC moodboards finished, we're going to be sharing some inspired by the paramours of our Court of Blades game!

First up is Lorenzo, the heir to the coterie's house and Lady Fiadh's secret lover.
The background is a black-and-white image of an ornate hallway. The mood board is made up of three columns that each have two images. The right top image is of a man dressed in princely garments with a rapier at his hip, face not shown. The bottom right image is black text against a white background that reads "Family. Duty. Honor." The top middle image is black text on a white background that reads "Anyone who saw the way he looked at her knew he was hooked". The bottom middle image is of an antique desk laid out with books and ledgers, a whisky glass off to the side. The top left image is a well-dressed man wearing a white and gold Venetian mask that covers his full face. He appears to be bowing slightly. The bottom left image is white text in a black box on a grey background that reads "heavy is the head that wears the crown"
