haven’t posted art in uhhhhh A WHILE…. but i’ve been binging the mighty nein campaign now that im done uni. so here’s a cunty little essek sketch bc i love him.
I just like to think about Caleb, in the future, living in a little townhouse in Rexentrum. Full of arcane trinkets, and spell components and the jacket Beau forgot when she came round for dinner. Walls plastered with Jester and Luc’s drawings, cat beds everywhere, traditional heavy Zemnian blankets from Astrid and spiralling crochet throws clearly from Xhorhas and cushions Kingsley found amusing in various markets on a squidgy leather sofa and mismatched armchairs. An extension into the garden with a little classroom in it, papers never quite contained to a study full of books and a coat rack in the hallway that’s constantly in use. A hundred different teas in the cupboard and recipes scribbled in different hands on the backs of all different stained pages. The little garden with planters of veg and pots of herbs and a sun-bleached wooden bench and forget-me-nots growing along the fence. A spare room that’s never vacant long enough to gather dust. Marks in the floor from Fjord repeatedly forgetting he wasn’t on a ship and the vase Yasha is always refilling. Thank you cards and gifts from students - carved cat figurines and mugs and silly little jokes. A feather of Kiri’s on a beaded chain she made. Books and books and books, bought by himself and others on every topic under the sun.
A house where he can finally be surrounded by and reminded of all the lives Caleb touched.
I one time saw a TikTok video on shifttok where they were talking about: Don’t have children in your dr if you’re not gonna stay and take care of them and love them.
But HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
Just bc you shift back to your CR/OR doesn’t mean you’re neglecting your kids in that reality bc you’re still there, you’re just not aware of it and living it…?
Just bc you shift back doesn’t mean your dr self is just gonna start acting up ?? LIKE WHAT?
Bell's Hells forgetting to ask Orym about his magic stuff and it only comes up when Dorian sees it and goes, "WTFIUWT?!"
OR
Dorian sees Orym do magic, but on top of Fearne and Ashton's titan stuff and Opal being a spider demon he just accepts it because, "Sure, this may as well happen"
