#Archer art #oc tag #Deuces #Sid Sibyl #i couldve like. drawn him holding horse reigns or something #but the implication that he's the one in the group with a valid license is funny to me

A rough timeline of events

#Archer art #oc tag #Sid Sibyl #The Speaker #Skysail #Sid starts out calling him 'chatterbox' as an insult and a way to try to tell him to shut up #but then he starts using it more as a term of endearment and The Speaker is like 'oh you cut that shit out right now' #they are both just so. fukin weird and headstrong

[sidereous]

i don't post art hardly at all but my bestie @sidereon-spaceace has an original sci-fi fantasy project he's been telling me abt so i made an old battered book cover for it

#Archer art #oc tag #The Speaker #Sid Sibyl #i do have a more serious drawing in mind for like. the progression of their dynamic. but right now you get a shitpost

Something very funny about Sid's type being "doomed prince-coded figure who's also a huge nerd"

#Archer art #oc tag #The Speaker #sid sibyl #balthazar #Balthazar who can sense unfulfilled wishes seeing these two pining after eachother like 'GET A ROOM' [tries to blow them up with his mind]

The Lagerrie Siblings rated on how likely they are to kill you

Lehn: If you aren't the praying sort, now would be the time to start

Sid: If it makes you feel any better, he'll probably feel bad about it

Roha: Literally just trying his best

#Archer art #oc tag #Lehn Lagerrie #Roha Lagerrie #Sid Sibyl #transcript under the read-more for your convenience #Roha is the least bit a fighter out of the three of them he's an informant first and foremost

that Evil Clone Trope except, well-

#Archer art #oc tag #Ril #Estanali #Estanali for sure saw that cat through the window and decided. nah not my problem

He really wanted to know what Sid would've looked like as a Be Not Afraid-ass horror

Was thinking about Enceladus and thought about comparing him to Laios but... if he saw a terrifying monstrosity his response wouldnt be "I wonder what that tastes like" i think he'd actually get upset at having to kill a cool creature. He'd keep a bloodborne boss as his phone background not because he's trying to look badass but because he genuinely thinks it looks beautiful

#Archer art #oc tag #Enceladus #Sid Sibyl #i'm still ironing out details for when they team up in the final arc but for now it's. this #very fun writing Enceladus as an unhinged academic because he is just so calm and composed about it

[sidereous]

found a pencil so I could finally wind down with some doodles for the evening

#Archer art #wip tag #oc tag #Deuces #Sid Sibyl #The Speaker #'hey wait Deuces uses fire magic -> he smokes -> is a gunslinger' = the coolest mental image i've ever had #plus some shades because he deserves it #mr. sibyl in shades based on that one image of Arthur's actor chillin on set yknow the one #last bit from art that ms. Punkitt made you should look at her art she's great #ok NOW im going to bed before my mutuals yell at me g'night everyone

[sidereous]

Don’t feel like getting into how they met and their starting dynamic so- *wheels this in*

#cross post #self reblog #oc tag #Enceladus #I'll put this here too why not

[sidereous]

alright, this sketch is done

#Archer art #oc tag #Sid Sibyl #i have another art piece i need to work on but I keep getting distracted #telling myself this is the last New Thing i can make with my tablet everything else stays in the sketchbook

[sidereous]

Some Enceladus doodles!

Long story short, Silence needed some lackeys for their Taken Shenanigans, so he got recruited as a fellow fan of dubious space magic. But it's a totally professional thing, he's totally not emotionally invested in his boss, preposterous-

#cross post #self reblog #Archer art #oc tag #Enceladus #i havent put this on here??? terrible

Another note about The Speaker and his immortality:

It's common knowledge. He'll even directly tell you. But he won't say how. The most anyone's been able to get out of him is that it wasn't entirely intentional- but since he's still around he tries to make the most of it.

But life on Venus is very difficult. So it's a bit of a different matter when grieving parents demand he bring back their child that was killed in a storm. Or when someone just coming into adulthood contracts an illness that will slowly but surely kill them- growing frightened and angry so they ask him what it would take for them to be like him.

And every time he refuses.

For every person that sees him as an eccentric but loving great-uncle, for everyone that sees him as a figurehead, there are just as many that think he is a dangerous charlatan at best

#Archer writing #oc tag #The Speaker #child death mention #he has made the conscious choice not to hide away even if it would make things less messy but. man. #people have tried to kill him before and he knows full well that others will come to try and kill him again #in most cases he really cant impart his longevity to other but like. he also knows the price he's paid. that he keeps paying #he would rather be someone's villain than subject someone to that #least of all to mention the potential ramifications #if the wrong person intentionally sought him out to live forever so they could take over everything would be. a difficult problem to solve #the exact reason why The Speaker himself is just a figure head. he didnt want to risk becoming some kind of immortal god-king tyrant #he stepped down from leadership around the same time he realized he wasnt going to be dying anytime soon #that doesnt make it hurt any less whenever people ask him for help and he has to tell them 'no'. when they get angry and no longer trust hi
