This might be out of left field, but when it comes to art, I'm having an issue where I keep getting bogged down in the details and creating overcomplicated works that I'm ultimately unhappy with.
I love your art style so, so much and you somehow manage to capture a perfect balance of simple shapes and colors while adding just enough detail to make it perfectly dimensional and recognizable.
If it's not too taxing, do you think you could explain how you determine how much detail and shading to include?
Oh that‘s a tough one 🤔 I must admit that most of the time I am just winging it and try around till it looks right or at least feels like it XD
Sooo, I draw in a more cartoonish style so it kinda works when I use less lines or use the few ones to exaggerate a movement or feeling. Let‘s look at Azira‘s hair for example:
That‘s not how in a realistic sense hair works but instead of drawing every single lock I am more focusing on the feeling of floofy by drawing wavy, round lines
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don‘t even have a clue how it would look like if I tried to draw more „realistic“ XD There are so many things I leave out like parts of the nose, proper upper and lower lip, eyelashes, etc etc etc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah if I draw more realistic I would defintiely do a different shading but since that‘s not the case here is how i do it:
I don‘t shade.
Ok I barely shade. There is definitely always that shadow I draw under the chin but otherwise it‘s also rather… minimalistic? But yeh, I also keep it simple and don‘t give every detail (like every strand of hair) a shadow so it‘s more like looking at a ball, drawing a curved line and then shade everything under it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So in conclusion:
I am probably the worst person to ask for art advice XDD

A drawing of Chase and Tj, also in black and white; It’s based on the ending of TJ’s route so that should give you enough context of what’s happening here xd
(Lots of spoilers ahead now)
One of the things I liked the most about TJ’s rote was his relationship with Chase. How it develops into a sort of codependent relationship where both of them are keeping the truth about what happened with Sydney, and eventually Flynn, hidden to protect each other wasn’t a turn I was expecting, but I really liked it. The way Chase it’s constantly manipulating and stopping TJ from revealing what happened, mixing with the feeling he develops for him, makes it even more messed up. And adding to this, it definitely puts into perspective the way Chase acts in certain moments in the other routes when it’s referencing Sydney (examples: Chase covering TJ’s mouth when he asks about Sydney drowning in Leo’s Route after they crash into the lake, and when Chase’s hallucinations in the waky talkie talk to him about how “it wasn’t his fault” and “he had pure intentions” in Jenna’s route).
As for the scavenger hunt, even though is never confirmed who actually did it….I firmly believe it had to be TJ. He most likely wasn’t even aware of it, but the way that he knew exactly where each clue was and the fact that the final note is a drawing that is described the same way as another drawing TJ did (the one of his prank with Chase) points to him the most as the culprit. Maybe he did it because of the guilt he felt about keeping the secret all those years, and since the notes were always poking at Chase, he must have done it to get a reaction from him, as he unconciously (?) knew he killed Sydney. Obviously, the are some other aspects to consider, like the timeline of how TJ managed to hide the notes off-screen to the point of breaking into someone’s house. And the fact that some of them are described as being old and that the first one about the forest didn’t make sense for TJ to know implies that some supernatural shit was happening as well, but either way TJ had to be involved somehow. At least that’s what I think.

“This is a warning for Kray Foresight - free all captive Burnish immediately, or I’ll burn Promepolis to the ground!”
Many hours, layers, micromanaged bg assets, and egregious amounts of colorpicking later, it is finally done //passes out
As soon as I watched Promare I was legally obligated to draw the dragon.
Please do not reupload without permission!
(Very ramble-y) process notes and wips below the cut:
[[Shoutout to Tamberella’s wonderful city brushset, the bg would not have been possible otherwise!]]
I had to cross-reference so many stills and gifs from the movie in order to try and recreate the atmosphere and style XD This whole drawing was also the perfect excuse to whip out the polyline tool again, it’s one of my favorite things to draw with but I don’t actually use it much for...some reason lmao.  Habit?  Who knows...
Tumblr media
As you can see, it was initially supposed to include his lil arms, but I couldn’t find a way to make them flow well with his line of action and had to exclude them (which was a bit painful as I was really happy with how the claw shapes turned out).  I figured since the film seems to cheat it the same way, it was fine for me to do it as well XD Though I don’t have a capture of it, originally his body was also in a more straightforward loop-de-loop kind of shape.
I wanted to put special focus into the pose and sense of action (two things Trigger really excels at), namely when it came to the head and jaws.  I noticed that in a couple of shots the dragon’s jaw is “broken” - opened at an unrealistically wide angle - to better emphasize the action, and while I didn’t take it as far as Trigger did I wanted to try and capture something similar in my own way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The windows required SO much micromanaging.  I blocked out a “template” of windows using one of the brushes in the mentioned set, grid-warped it to align with the perspective, and then copy-pasted it onto each building and then manually went through each one to make sure every patterns of “lit” windows was unique and felt believable.  The process had to be repeated twice, for both visible sides of the buildings.  As far as individual parts of the pic go, that step probably took the longest.
I also really wanted to somehow incorporate triangles into the drawing since they’re so representative of the Burnish and the Promare, and adding some around the face seemed the most intuitive way to do it.
Tumblr media
A lot of miscellaneous things were added at this point, such as the ground flares (polyline tool my beloved), the smoke, and smaller details like making sure the dragon felt more “sourced” in the scene by clipping the tail behind a tower.  The background was also blurred, to help sell the perspective as well as keep the focus on Lio.  The flares were one of the hardest things to manage in the latter regard, too, as due to some oversights in my initial color choices they were actually brighter than Lio and stole his thunder!  So it took several different tries to find a way to successfully de-emphasize them without inadvertently making them some weird sickly color XD
If you read through all of these notes, thank you so much, I love you!!  //hands you a cookie

Hello! Hope I can explain this suggestion well lol
What if the Bad Batch ship’s nose art was of Jedi!Reader ? What would be reader’s reaction to it? I would have been so flattered XD
Aloha!
Oh I like this one! :))
The Bad Batch x Jedi!Fem!Reader Oneshot - A Work Of Art
Tumblr media
It was not uncommon for clones to decorate their ships with drawings of their heroes or personalities they considered beautiful. Similar to how some hung up a sexy calendar in their office. It was not necessarily encouraged, but not forbidden either.
The Bad Batch also had a drawing on the Marauder, quite large in fact. Of a good looking Jedi they admired. A Jedi they knew only by sight and had not really met in person. You.
Hunter stood next to the Marauder, along with the rest of his team, except for Tech, from whose hand the drawing had come after consultation with the rest of Clone Force 99. He was in the engine room making some final preparations while the rest waited outside for the Jedi who had been assigned to them for the next mission.
"Who's been assigned to us?" asked Wrecker impatiently.
Hunter shrugged, "I don't know, Skywalker isn't, Rex would have told me."
Crosshair chewed on his toothpick with a critical eye and said, "Some random Jedi general. Doesn't matter."
Echo, who had already discovered which Jedi it was, stared toward you with his heart pounding. He was eager to warn the others, but at the first moment he had swallowed his tongue when he saw you coming into the hangar.
Finally, he managed to get, "Oh boy," past his lips.
Hunter turned to him.
"What's the matter, Ech...oooh kriff."
Crosshair nearly swallowed his toothpick as he sucked in a startled breath and spat it out onto the floor.
"Ooooh," Wrecker growled, adding softly as he gently punched Crosshair's shoulder, "Guess it does matter after all."
The Sniper turned pale and his look was suddenly not at all serious but more like that of a frightened wild animal.
"Clone Force 99?"
"Yes, General!" said all in unison as if from the same mouth.
"I'm.... what is this?"
Your eyes fell on the huge picture of you that adorned the Marauder. You wore far less clothing than you did in real life and the pose you were drawn in was somewhat suggestive, but this was unmistakably you. Very true to detail and realistic at that.
A mixture of nervousness, shame and flattery made your pulse quicken for a moment. Hunter, who sensed it immediately, was about to break out in a small panic.
But you sought calm in the Force and found your center again.
With a small smile you said, "I see I am at a disadvantage. My new squad seems to already know me, but I only know a few rough details about you. We should change that."
Tech appeared on the ramp, as so often with his gaze on the holopad, he didn't take in his surroundings properly at first.
"I've got everything set up. We'll be ready to go as soon as our Jedi General shows up"
"She's already here," you said, amused.
Tech finally looked up in surprise and blinked. He seemed frozen at first, then you could see his ears and neck turning red.
"G-General," he greeted you, stammering, "Very pleased to make your acquaintance. We have heard nothing but good things about you."
"Who created this work of art?"
Tech swallowed hard, you could see it. He cleared his throat awkwardly before answering you.
"That would be me. After consulting with the rest of the team, though! It was a collaborative decision!"
"This is very good work" you said honestly "A little more raunchy than I would have chosen, but very well drawn"
Tech's ears turned even redder.
"Um... thank you very much"
You laughed softly and said to the group, "I can see you're all a little nervous about the painting. I know a lot of people do it that way. I've seen gunships with drawings of Senator Amidala, one with Shaak-Ti, and another with a more or less famous bar singer. I just never thought that someone would choose me as a subject for such a portrait. I'm... flattered... somehow."
Tech said softly, "You are a perfect subject for such a portrait. You are graceful, beautiful, exude strength and serenity, even from a distance"
He swallowed and didn't speak further when he realized how much he had just admitted.
"Anyway, I don't see a problem there. As long as no one complains about it", you said to ease the tension.
Wrecker was the first to lose all tension and chat with you as if you were old friends. A lively fellow.
After a few more exchanged words, everyone entered the Marauder. Only Crosshair hesitated. Echo stopped when he noticed that the Sniper was still quite pale.
"What's up? Are you coming?"
Crosshair looked distressed.
"Maker... I had a... indecent dream about her, just last night, and now she's here. What if she can somehow sense this through the Force?"
Echo laughed, "I'm sure you're not the only one of us. Just pull yourself together."

Too Slow

Anon asked: how about a drabble with reader x luis in another apocalypse universe of your choice? they're just regular, run-of-the-mill people trying to survive a sudden outbreak of some kind, scavenging in a crumbling grocery/convenience store. maybe something angsty happens at the end? idk i just think it'd be interesting to see luis in a different zombie apocalypse universe xD A/N: Hoo boy, anon, do I have something for you 😂 you asked for angsty, and I think I delivered on that pretty well 🤭 I hope you like it because it hurt to write and they're thrown right into the thick of it 🥹 I didn't choose a specific zombie apocalypse universe for this, they're just out here trying to survive. Also, since no gender was specified, I've gone with gender-neutral and friendship rather than romance. I hope that's okay! :) TW: Angst, Implied major character death, mentions of blood and mild gore, use of guns. Pairing: Luis Serra x GN!Reader (Friendship) WC: 1,169
“Luis, can’t you at least try looking for something useful?” You poke your head over the counter, watching the Spaniard rifle through the cigarette kiosk, throwing empty cartons on the floor, his search for an untouched box, so far, unsuccessful. 
“I don’t know what you’re trying to get at,” Luis responds, turning his head to look at you with a playful smile. “Cigarettes are vital. Without them, I might lose my mind.”
You scoff, leaving it at that as you return to what you were doing just a second before. You’re on the floor, searching all the bottom shelves in this tiny convenience store. The area had been quiet when you first arrived, and it had felt like a miracle you’d even come across this place after several days on the road, passing nothing but abandoned homes and stripped cars. It’s clear this place has already been scavenged and gutted of its stock at least a dozen times before, but you and Luis are willing to take your chances, having gone hours without food.
So far, all you’ve found are a few expired cereal bars, some painkillers from the medicine section and a bottle of lukewarm mineral water. It’s not much, but it’ll do just fine until you find somewhere else to raid. You stuff your findings into your satchel, running the back of your hand across your forehead to wipe away the sweat beading from your pores. The air is humid; a storm is coming as thick grey clouds sit stagnant in the sky outside.
“A-ha!” A triumphant Luis draws your attention back to him, and you scramble to your knees before standing up, patting the dust off your knees. When you look his way, he’s holding up a carton of cigarettes like they’re a goddamn medal of honour. They’re perfectly unopened– still in their cellophane wrapping, even. “It seems the universe is on my side,” he remarks, looking so proud of himself. It makes you laugh, shaking your head.
“How do you always manage to get exactly what you want?” Swinging your satchel over your shoulder, you watch him. He’s already torn the cellophane off and popped a cigarette between his lips.
“I guess I’m just lucky–” 
It all happens so fast. One second, Luis is proudly showing off his found treasure, about to relish in his first smoke since a few days ago, and the next, he’s grappling with an infected that came out of nowhere. Turns out the corpse hunched over in the far corner hadn’t been dead when you checked upon arrival.  
You scramble to your back pocket for your pistol– knife, anything. A blood-curdling scream bounces through the store, a chunk of flesh ripped from Luis’ shoulder, your eyes wide and pupils quivering as you watch, mindlessly taking shots at the monster, blood splattering out of bullet holes in rotting flesh until you focus enough to aim for the head. Bang. Thud.
The walking corpse crumples to the floor, and Luis staggers and falls on his backside, blood flowing consistently from the wound in his shoulder. Somehow, that cigarette is still perching perfectly between his lips. You’re too stunned to speak, to move. Instead, you stand frozen in place and watch your friend bleed out, cussing under his breath. He doesn’t seem scared, though, at least not to the naked eye. 
Luis clutches his bleeding shoulder, using his free hand to dig his lighter out of his pocket. You’re still standing across from him, the realisation of what just happened dawning on you, hitting you like a truck hurtling down the highway.
Luis lights his cigarette, taking a long drag while he rests his head against the side of the counter. His face gets lost momentarily in a plume of smoke as it exits his lungs. His eyes meet yours, his voice pulling you out of your stun.
“Well… shit,” he says, voice strained and face twitching with pain, “I guess I ran out of luck– too slow.” He grits his teeth before bringing the cigarette back to his lips. Tears start spilling from your eyes just as the rain begins to fall outside; the first sound coming out of your mouth is nothing but a sob while you stutter towards Luis and kneel at his side. Your trembling hand rests on his leg. 
“This– it’s my fault,” your voice gets stuck halfway up your throat, “I should’ve put a bullet in its head before. I should’ve–”
“Don’t.”
“But–”
“Don’t. This isn’t your fault, my friend. It wasn’t moving. You weren’t to know.” Luis looks at you, keeping the cigarette between his lips. He reaches up to ruffle your hair and sweep the tears away from your cheeks. “Sneaky little bastard, eh?”
You choke on a sob– and a bit of a laugh, and you hate it. You and Luis have been surviving together for months. The idea of having to carry on alone terrifies you. The fact that he won’t be around anymore utterly shatters you.
Noises arise from the surrounding area, bringing your and Luis’ attention to the door at the front, then the one at the back. Trash cans clatter, and feet start dragging. The screaming and gunfire likely drew attention. You need to get out of here.
“Come on, we’ve gotta go,” you sniff, moving to bring Luis to his feet again, but he pulls away and gives you that look. The look you’ve been given far too many times by too many people you’d grown fond of throughout this whole fucked up apocalypse. With Luis, though, it hurts a million times more.
His smile is genuine, yet so sad, as he says, “We both know I’m not going anywhere. I’m a dead man walking.” You shake your head, about to protest. You’re not having any of this– “Y/N, I mean it. You need to get out of here. Now.”
A door handle starts rattling in the back of the store, out of sight, but the clock is ticking. Moans of the infected start multiplying, filling the air that had been silent moments ago. Your eyes meet with Luis’ again. You’re pleading with him silently, but his fingers are curling around the grip of his handgun, easing it out of his belt, his cigarette having already burned down to the butt.
He has accepted his fate.
“Go. Run, and don’t look back.”
Thorns squeeze around your heart, piercing it, tearing it to shreds. Lips quivering, you lean in to press a single, lingering kiss on his forehead. For a second, you think you hear Luis’ breath shake as he leans into your lips.
You stagger to your feet, pistol in hand, and turn to the entrance. ‘Run, and don’t look back.’ Quaking legs carry you forward, gaining speed clumsily as you burst through the door, cold rain hitting your skin as a gunshot resonates from inside the store, and your blood runs cold.
Oh, how one moment of misjudgement can turn into such agony.

IM SO SORRY I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED YOUR TEGAN ASK
I feel so bad :( you said it took you three hours and also I had written a huge response and now it’s gone ;-;
Okay so I’m going to rewrite my response but I’m really sorry if I get things wrong since now I can’t review what you sent ;-;
————
I LOVE THE IDEA SO MUCH!!!! And I would love to hear more about their training and life on the ship!
I may be obsessing over Talon and Megan a tad bit…
I love all the possibilities of how they passed the time in the car so much. It would be so awkward at the start and I’m all here for it!! I imagine Talon carried most of the conversation from the beginning until after they really got to know each other. I feel like at the start Talon would just awkwardly try to tell her what has happened to the earth while she was gone in hopes of starting some conversation. I’m imagining the parking lot picnic with them just drinking slushees and eating whatever gas station food seemed good (I’m assuming everything is kind of run down?)
Car karaoke. Oh it would be amazing. Talon trying to find songs Megan likes and trying to get her to sing along, windows rolled down, it’d be such a vibe.
With the race scene I can’t stop picturing the scene from princess bride where they both are rolling down the hill XD
Their relationship is so great, two strangers bonding in a long car ride… oh wait they already knew each other? They were already in love from book one? But Megan’s memory was wiped- WAIT NO THEY WERE IN LOVE AND HER MEMORY WAS WIPED!?!? Okay, okay, it’s fine at least they became close again, just a fresh start nothing to worry about… HER MEMORY WAS WIPED A SECOND TIME!?!? TALON THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (this is so tragic but I love it so much)
Talon nooooo why the tragic backstory ;-; (I love it very much)
Oh and the art? I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I love Talon’s design!!!!!! The drawing of him saying happy birthday to himself makes me so sad ;-;
Also question time!
Do you have designs for the sci fi ppl? Are they like aliens or just advanced humans chilling in space? Does Talon hide his tattoo? (I love that type of angst so much mhm hidden scars [in this case a tattoo tho]) and you said there was an image limit… could I see those drawing you couldn’t show? Also why is it called Tegan (is it bc Talon + Megan = Tegan…)? That should be all of my questions…
Anyway I absolutely love this story and please feel free to tell me more whenever! (I’d love to hear a lil more about Ivan too)
Again really sorry abt deleting the ask ;-; I hope you have an amazing day though!!
(I feel like I’m forgetting things I wanted to mention but idk)
Oh my I wrote out this whole thing and it deleted it for me hahaha let’s try this again
No worries about deleting the ask it happens hahaha and it doesn’t look like you got anything wrong so yay!
I’m gonna answer this paragraph by paragraph
-IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT and I’m pretty sure I have either the original google doc or a “Megan’s POV” doc that I can look into to give you those details :)
-I’m so glad you’re obsessing so we can be in the same boat
-I’ve been mulling over that car scene for years and somehow you managed to squeeze out even more serotonin for me to devour I thank thee. And I think it’s run down ish, like people are still there but WW3 is kind of happening/ just happened soooo you know
-it would be the vibiest ^^
-I’m so glad you said that bc I couldn’t connect the dots as to what that scene reminded me of but yeah that’s amazing
-IKR the mind wiping rocked my world. My friend was at the point where she was writing the post separation explosion and we were on face time and she casually mentioned “oh you know the cars weren’t the first time they met, right?” I went feral trying to get all the info out of her hahaha
-yes his backstory makes me so sad…
-I’m glad you like the design! It was our group’s “hot guy” design hahaha I’ve tried to make it more individualized to him over the years tho, and that happy birthday one gets me every time (especially since that’s probably how he spent most his birthdays…)
Yay Question Time!
-I believe I could at least get the designs for those people sometime soon. They are just random people who decided to work for big bad (aka the voice, bc they only heard his voice through speakers at first). The voice decided he could make some good money abducting children and forcing them to be assassins so he did that. The government doesn’t know about them bc they hide in space. The few organizations trying to take them down are the only ones who really know about it
-talon has a few different tattoos, the one he got initiated with is a tattoo/ permanent burn so it has to stay covered to protect it, the other is just on his neck and he leaves that one in the open (I can point it out in the pics below)
-and yes! Tegan is the ship name for Talon and Megan (it was that or Melon hahaha)
-Ivan didn’t really have much personality in the oh other than he was angry bc the scientist that snuck into the escape ship was dating his crush, I’ve made some personal modifications to him in my head though making him more protective rather than just angry (he’s also Megan’s cousin) and I just remembered I have a drawing of him? So cue the picture section :)
Picturesssss
Here’s Ivan, the permanent third wheel (he doesn’t know tho)
Tumblr media
The first ever drawings of Talon and Megan 😬
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Moving on… idk which of these are repeats so lemme know if they are and I could probably substitute them for new pics
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now the og Megan design vs the much needed redraw
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ughhhh the one on the left still haunts me…
I was struck by the limit again so I might reblog this with a few more, idk hahaha
But reading through this ask made me so happy you have no idea (insert the “I don’t normally feel things but that one got through” donnie gif)
Thank you so much and I’ll look into the daily life on the ship and the sci fi guy designs :)

something something, back to the beginning with 7.5, something something spend nearly half your life doing something, something memories, something totally probably not at all actually related to the plot of the patch, but something something excuse for me to write cheesy flirt lines-- self-indulgent as hell little brainworm of an exchange that may or may not actually happen but i sure as hell had fun putting tyr through it xD loosely inspired by the premise of returning to hutta for 7.5 and name-dropping one of the new characters, so technically some kind of spoilers but. obvs we don't know much and this is just. deeply, deeply self-indulgent fun on my part for now, lol. [but that kind of stuff is under the cut, if that is important to your reading choices <3]
“We have been to Hutta before,” Vector recalls. They step up to the agent’s shoulder as Tyr leans into the doorway, cocking one foot over the other.
Tyr grunts, “Somehow.., I’m inclined to doubt much has changed in…” A grimace starts to pull the agent’s features tighter around his eyes, as if counting the years might make the aches settle deeper. “Oh, twenty years, almost.., isn’t it?”
Vector hums thoughtfully. “Much has changed, agent,” they remind gently, “But… not so much, all the same, we concur.” They watch the agent’s eyes scan the distant swamp for a moment, noting the restless toy of his hands along the fit sleeves of the overcoat he wears.
They recall a saying on the ways of old habits…
“We suppose not all things can improve with age.”
A sharp, loud huff leaves their companion. Vector begins to smile. It’s enough to still Tyr’s hands - they instead fold together across his waist, supporting the agent’s lean. Out of the corner of their eyes, Tyr’s own narrow as they turn on him, mockingly accusatory.
“Vector Hyllus… I’m going to assume good faith.”
“Of course, agent,” they reply. Their smile widens under the mounting suspicion. “We have known plenty to admire a fine vintage.”
Tyr doesn’t quite manage to choke back a bark of laughter beneath a hand flying up to his mouth, nor does it entirely conceal his smile and the brush of color that enters his cheeks. Vector mercifully turns their eyes back out to the smog-hugged buildings awaiting them. Shortly, Tyr clears his throat. “You know I prefer Kaasi brandy myself.”
“Of course. You’ve always had a most enlightening taste, agent.”
Tyr coughs lightly and shakes his head. “Ah… right. So.”
“So,” Vector allows. “We… are not familiar with this… ‘Yusinduu,’ agent. It will be our first time in the district.”
“Right.” And just like that, a familiar lighting bolt clarity clears Tyr’s eyes. He pushes off from the doorway and waves Vector down the ramp with him, sweeping his jacket over the holsters at his hips. “Stay close, for now. If Hutts are reliable for anything, it’s an eye for profitable motives-”
Even that brief smile was well worth the diversion. They follow after the Commander, tucking their hands into their pockets.
“Do you think there is any relation, agent?”
Tyr begins to frown - a familiar brush of durasteel and the first gasp of rain-heavy air from the horizon. “I wouldn’t be surprised in the least,” he says.
His eyes skim the edges of the streets over Vector’s shoulders. “You know, I think you owe me a drink-” A cover for the agent’s sentiment to find a place to observe the local hum.
He claps a hand to Vector’s shoulder with a grin, eyes clear of the aged rhythms thrumming in battle-tested veins, no doubt. His fingers squeeze carefully around their shoulder and his voice drops for only a moment, “If I know anything about Hutta, it’s that we’re all good for someone… for the right price.” Stay close. Stay vigilant.
Tyr’s eyes face forward again, easily slipping through unfamiliar streets - enough heaviness in forward steps to keep their path clear and draw only the barest of curious glances. New faces on Hutt-controlled streets aren't uncommon. Nine wants them just under the radar. For now.
“Let’s see who we should be today, hm?”

Hey, hey sunshine, considering how many cute sketches with a Medic you draw for people
Can I ask a question to a Medic from your headcannons?
Mr. Medic, what was the first reaction of Heavy to your autism? Did he notice sensory overload or other signs of autism not characteristic of neurotypical people? (may the author forgive me for such stupid questions ":D)
from very near the beginning most of the mercs would know something is a bit different about him, it would be fairly obvious if youre paying enough attention. medic wouldnt really mask very much (if at all) so other people would pick up on something eventually.
the rest under the cut because. this got a bit longer than intended ^^;
when medic makes eye contact its either all or nothing, hes either staring into your soul the whole time or he isnt looking at your face at all. hes more than happy to talk for hours on end about what he wants to talk about and doesnt really notice that he hasnt given the other person a chance to speak for the past 40 minutes. he doesnt really hide his stims (with a few exceptions) so it wouldnt be uncommon to see him rocking in his seat even if only a little or wringing his hands or waving them around when hes excited or anything like that. hes openly very picky about certain foods and drinks. ive already mentioned him having very low empathy. he tends to already be fairly quick to annoyance and anger but nothing pushes him over the edge like hearing sounds out in the common areas of the base while hes trying to sleep or focus on something and hes gotten into more than one argument trying to get whichever merc is out there being loud to be quiet. etc etc etc i could go on.
but at first even though a lot of this would be noticed by the other mercs many of them would just assume its because hes a little weird and eccentric or something, but eventually each of them would probably get their chance to learn more about it or possibly be forced to learn about it if the situation called for it.
now to finally get to heavy xD
he would have noticed many of these traits and like some of the others just brushed it off as medic being a bit weird at first, but i think hed get his first realization moment the first time that medic has a shutdown in front of him (hed have meltdowns too but hed be more prone to shutdown. it does depend on the situation though). maybe they had a really tough battle that day, medic maybe loses a glove and gets some clothes ripped or something, everyones dying everyones getting hurt even more and worse than usual, its completely awful the entire time and medic starts getting sensory overload but has to keep going until they finish the battle obviously. anyway maybe they actually manage to pull off the win somehow and when heavy goes to congratulate medic, hes unresponsive. not completely unresponsive but hes walking around avoiding touching or even standing too close to everything and everyone, he hasnt said a single word since the battle ended (and come to think of it, he had been talking less and less as the battle progressed), any of his usual over the top expressiveness is completely gone. heavy tries to figure out whats wrong but all his questions are met with a blank stare and medic more or less trying to get away from him. so heavy is thinking this is awful,, something broke doktor,, but, look, heavy is a smart man ok?
hed figure out that medic clearly isnt in the mood for talking so hed instead try short yes and no questions in his usual quiet and caring way. are you injured? are you angry with someone? do you want to be alone? can i help? and medic maybe answers with a small head shake or a little hum of affirmation, which takes a lot of energy and he wants nothing more than to collapse right there on the floor, but if it means heavy will be able to understand whats going on and it will get him the best outcome as fast as possible then he tries his best. heavy doesnt really know exactly whats going on but he works out that the poor guy just needs to be alone for a while so he helps escort him to his room or the infirmary or wherever he leads and helps keep everyone else away from him. once they get there heavy stands outside and waits because he realizes that anyone coming in there to bother medic is definitely one of the worst things that could happen at that moment, and he does it without asking.
it would take several hours because it takes medic about an hour of sitting in a quiet corner to even recover enough to clean himself up from the battle, and after that he collapses on any flat surface he can find that isnt the floor to take a nap, and once he wakes up from that he spends a bit of time quietly interacting with his birds or organizing some medical equipment before finally he goes to find heavy and is pleasantly surprised to find him essentially guarding the door. at that point he answers any of heavys questions, explains autism to him as best as he can and in detail, lists exactly what caused the problem that day, exactly what some of his traits are, explains exactly what to do if something like this happens again in the future. etc. so after that heavy would connect the dots between this and some of medics other traits and would have a better understanding of it and do everything he can to support medic if needed and umm yeah :]!!!!

Re Zero Highschool AU Concept
very new to tumblr, sorry if i mess anything up!
mey and i just talked about this and threw it together and had a lot of fun with it XD I'm at arc 6 and mey is anime-only so far, so some things may be inaccurate, and some characters are not included!
If there are things you want to suggest please do, but any spoilers should be either really vague or plot-irrelevant (like, outside of main plot developments. Side stories are fine i think!) mey's notes from our conversation, I'll put some of my individual thoughts in at the end (Thank you @tanya-degurechaff for letting me ramble about my blorbos for so long! and watching re zero!!! and everything!!!)
Click on the keep reading to see all the notes, i think???
Shitty Re:Zero Highschool AU
All the king candidates are all part of the Student Body, all running for Student Body President. That's the competition.
Emilia is an awkward transfer student. Her step-dad, Betelgeuse, had to move for work purposes. She looks a lot like the weird girl, Satella, which people isolate her for. Emilia deepest secret: watches 70s TV shows. Her clothes look vintage. She watches Antique Roadshow. When she goes to Anime Club, she finds out the anime she likes are very out of date. (Astroboy). 
Subaru is the leader of the anime club and he instantly falls in love with Emilia and invites her to join. She takes the invite. Besides anime club, he also goes to the QSA, but as a student named Natsumi Schwartz and it's 100% convincing everyone.
Julius hates Subaru guys he swears. Julius is the captain of the fencing team and hangs out with Reinhard very often. He and Reinhard go to the chess club every Wednesday after school. Julius is also a secret LARP-er and goes to Ren fairs as a cool knight. 
Reinhard is a straight-A, valedictorian, star of all of the sports team golden students. He's planned to take the Astrea Company after he graduates. Secretly, Reinhard wants to be a shoujo manga artist. He keeps his shitty Manga in a pink sketchbook at the back of his locker. He goes to the Anime Club with Subaru and that's the only time he can draw.
Otto had a lot of trouble in elementary school and barely talked, rather interested in his anthills instead of people. As he got older, he started making friends and now hangs out at the anime club. He's known as the student janitor, cleaning up after everyone else. He also lays facedown in dirt talking to bugs. He's autistic and has a special interest… in bugs/nature in general. Sensitive hearing, uses noise canceling headphones. Scalper. Theater Tech. Stage manager. 
Garfiel is a freshman who's known to cause a lot of trouble and hates school. He's actually a youtuber who makes shitty rage roblox and minecraft trolling videos in his freetime. He's quite popular with elementary school boys. Calls Subaru Captain in school, follows him around. Great at sports
Rem is a VTuber for LugunicaEN. Her Oni form is her Vtuber model. Very popular for her genuine talks, she does ASMR, gives advice to people. She's very kind. Writes fanfiction. 
Ram is just a girl 👍. Mobility aid user. 
Priscilla is a theater girl, she acts like she is the best actress. Tries for all the lead elegant female roles. She's a good actor, just a little bit annoying. 
Roswaal is the theater teacher.
Wilhelm principal 
Crusch also does Fencing Club. She's very academically intelligent, though struggles socially. A good leader.
Ferris is the TA for the nurse. Also Vtuber for LugunicaEN. Openly part of the QSA, no one realizes she's a girl somehow. Girlfriends lesbians Crusch.
Liliana is an older student who gets held back, joins theater because she's a great singer. Priscilla has a sexuality crisis and becomes a woman lover.
Anastasia is part of the student body beforehand.
Otto is friends with Subaru's mom.
The triplets are all in the DnD club. It's just the three of them. Mimi is a Berserker.
Subaru is good artist, great at sewing. 
Ferris can also draw. They draw together and talk about their girlfriends. 
Emilia CANNOT draw. Worse than Reinhard.
Puck is the cool teacher, knows everything. Wise…
Beatrice is the librarian. Looks like a student, is not. Never leaves the school, no one knows why. 
Echindna is a history/english/science etc. Teacher, teaches everything no one else teaches. How is she doing this.
Satella is a weird girl who has never really talked to anyone. Advises the anime club, no one talks to her. Has a weird shrine in the girl's bathroom. 
Minerva is the school therapist, part of the health and social relationships classes. She's just so sweet… she takes care of the therapy dogs. Aggressively supportive of everyone. She's like a shaking chihuahua. Tries to act threatening, is just not. Really likes Emilia.
Felt is the youngest running for student body. She really wants two lunchtimes. That's her goal. 
Rom is the gym teacher 
Fredrica is the older sister of Garfiel, top student. She and Crusch are friends. Ready to graduate, just a girl. Trying to control her younger brother.
Henkel stands outside of Reinhard's class window shaking his head in disappointment.
Reinhard likes magical girls a lot, he just wants to help. He genuinely loves power of friendship stories. Really likes Tokyo Mew Mew and made Felt watch it. Reinhard likes to cosplay magical girls for cons and drags Felt along. 
Subaru convinces Reinhard to get Tumblr, does not know how to use it. Reinhard: "Dear Diary, I had breakfast today, two eggs and a toast." He also texts using the glitter flowers gifs with shiny text.
Al is a stage crew guy who follows Priscilla around. Otto doesn't know what to think about him. 
Otto disappears for days at a time. He is camping.
Garfiel is secretly a furry. His fursona is based on Garfield. Has commissioned Ferris.
Ferris is a furry artist. The Vtuber and Furry stuff is completely different.
Garfiel almost stopped going to school, Subaru convinced him to stay because he's been there before. Garfiel respects Subaru because of this and that's why he follows him around.
Petra is an elementary schooler who visits the highschool. On friendly terms with all the teachers. Why is this child here. 
Elsa is the science teacher, especially biology. Seems just fine at first, but has some… moments that's a bit terrifying. Everyone ignores that.
Meli is a future scientist, best friends with Elsa.
Gluttony twins are great students and hang out in the cafeteria all the time. Right below Reinhard, Crusch and Julius. Acts like delinquents.. 
Regulus is a horrible teacher. Terrible man. The kind of teacher that's like "your learning depends on how I'm feeling today", hated by everyone. 
Capella is not in the school… she. She is not in this au. Gets booted in this HS au.
Sirius is a very sweet teacher. She's the kind of teacher that's almost childish, really wants everyone to get along. She almost seems condescending, but she's genuine about it. Obsessed with Betelgeuse, every time he visits Emilia, she flirts. 
Pandora is the one who keeps Regulus in line. A faculty member. Philosophy Teacher.
Hector is a sad janitor man. Otto took over his job.
Tonchinkan are the three school delinquents, but strangely friends with Felt and therefore associated with Reinhardt (who's trying to keep them in line).
Daphne is the Lunch lady. 
Typhon is a student who's really into philosophy. Bad at it. Misquotes things often. Probably says a Lord of the Rings quote trying to be smart. Googles "how 2 be smart"
Sekhmet is a no nonsense teacher, she doesn't like being a teacher, but good at her job.
Individual notes:
We initially thought this up because we were joking about a Subaru-Reinhardt-Julius highschool fanfiction, cause honestly the way they're written in-story would fit that so well, and ended up making this whole thing...
I think the witches should all be staff/teachers of some sort, except for typhon maybe?
We set wilhelm as the principal just by vibes, but we have some ideas that would clash with the concept. maybe the dragon is the principal and nobody's seen him XD
Reinhardt's story in more detail: he's a straight A student (the kind with over 100% in all of his classes) who joined all of the sports but skipped it a lot because he was just so good at it and also he prioritized chess club. Julius is in a similar position. Subaru then invited him to the anime club (being the idiot he [she?] is) and Reinhardt accepted because "friend!!!!" he found his love for shoujo anime and now tries drawing his own. he's okay at drawing girls but awful at drawing guys. He picked up crossdressing from Ferris and Subaru and had a full identity crisis when he realized Ferris was transfem and Subaru is an egg (or closeted transfem or bigender or something). he realized he's just a cis man who likes crossdressing but he had to put his shoujo down for a little while... now he forces Felt to cosplay as a magical girl with him. She secretly has fun! Every time Heinkel shows up outside his classroom window he just... slides his sparkly pink sketchbook back into his backpack
Subaru sews the cosplay fits!
We said sirius is sweeter in this AU because i don't think anything would trigger her more extreme views in this story, and mey can't tell me if that's right or wrong cause they haven't met her yet XD i might be but i think a sweeter role fits her!
Rem and Ferris are in the same vtubing group. they refuse to talk about it
Emilia picked up her outdated language from old shows and anime! She joined the anime club because she was excited to talk about the old old anime she loves, and when subaru talks about waifus she just thinks "ah, like that lum girl!"
Julius has either really really good taste in anime or really really bad taste.
Subaru's just picking up friends cause he's too chaotic to follow the atmosphere, and the people he tried to become friends with just so happen to need someone like him!
Subaru WILL try to woo emilia with anime pick up lines
When Rem develops a sleeping disorder that makes her fall asleep while standing up sometimes, she becomes wheelchair buddies with Ram! Ram is determined to push herself (though she'll let Emilia do it sometimes) and Subaru helps Rem out!
Rom is a very sweet teacher. everyone is scared of him at first but they all call him grandpa at the end (teasing, but lovingly). Felt is actually his adopted granddaughter, and when she got to highschool it got a little awkward but made some very funny moments!
Ram is a very good student in some places but very bad in others. They don't know what to do with her. Sometimes she gets an A and it's clear she didn't cheat but sometimes she fails. sometimes in class she knows everything and WILL show off and sometimes she's straight up asleep. Nobody can figure out the pattern.
Otto will sometimes skip class and teachers either don't notice or just say "oh he's probably doing janitor stuff we shouldn't bother him."
can patrasche be the very aggressive therapy dog
i think i should stop here before i write a whole book
we haven't even got a fanfiction planned or anything we just talked about this for a few hours
if anyone does want to write a fanfiction that would be hilarious and send it to us please

So in the cuddle pile of the first years, how exactly are they place? like one on top of the other (lol)
Cuddle pile cuddle pile cuddle pile!!! :D
Gotta love a good cuddle pile, now don’t we~? The placement can actually vary as Yuu makes friends with the first years, which means it’s a process to find a comfy spot that doesn’t result in limbs going numb and someone accidentally getting smooshed. XD So why don’t I explain how the placement goes as each character joins? 0v0
…at least until I can figure out how to draw said cuddle piles, though I may need to design everyone first. 😂
Now, keep in mind that while the story in this AU does mostly follow the plot of the game and the prologue essentially happens the same way, it’s totally up to you to determine who your character meets and when as well as the friendship that they develop. Explore those friendships! Have them accidentally fall on Sebek in the library trying to climb a ladder to get to a book on a high shelf or meet Epel under an apple tree learning how to cut apples! Have fun with them! ÒwÓ
Ahem…now then!
Cuddle pile 1: Ace, Deuce, and Grim.
Comfort rating: 6.5. Comfy, but plenty of room to slide to the floor and get an achy back if not careful!
Deuce is the pillow and allows Yuu and Ace to lean against his side, though typically Deuce will need support for his torso unless he lays completely on his side rather than on his stomach. Grim will straight up fall asleep either between Deuce’s forelegs or across his back like a limp noodle. Sometimes Ace will fluff up his wings and drape it across Yuu to keep them warm, though he’ll say it’s something that skvader’s do instinctively with siblings if teased about it.
Cuddle pile 2: Ace, Deuce, Grim, and Jack.
Comfort rating: 8. Warm and comfy, lots of support on all sides. Easy to switch positions for comfort.
Deuce and Jack create a circle around the others with Jack resting his head on Deuce’s haunches and vice versa. Ace, Yuu, and Grim will use one or the other as a pillow depending, and this has more often than not wound up with two of them sprawled over both at the same time and one practically made a nest in Jack’s fur and is currently purring up a storm.
Cuddle pile 3: Ace, Deuce, Grim, Jack, and Epel.
Comfort rating: 9.5. Very soft and warm; great weighted pressure that calms and reassures!
All the smalls in the middle again! Somehow it feels crowded in a comforting sort of way, everyone managing to find a way to curl up against someone and not have their arms or legs go numb. Epel wants to be leaned on too, though he winds up leaning against Deuce or Jack and resting his torso on their back. At some point Yuu winds up with both Ace and Epel curled up around them and Grim sleeping on their chest.
Cuddle pile 4: Ace, Deuce, Grim, Jack, Epel, and Sebek.
Comfort rating: 20/10! Ultimate cuddle pile; safest spot in Twisted Wonderland; highly recommended!
Wow, somehow they managed to get Sebek to quiet down long enough to relax and fall asleep! Perhaps the most notorious cuddle monster given he’s a basilisk, meaning he will instinctively seek sources of heat for warmth. Deuce and Jack are good sources yes, but Sebek practically drapes himself over the small ones in the middle of the cuddle pile like a reptile guarding their nests. Can be heavy, but with Jack and Deuce providing elevation it’s minimal. Best nap you’ll ever have!

[r76 pre-blackwatch pwp workplace sex] dunno why i never shared this but time to fix it XD i wrote this in a fever state a good maybe month ago while we drooled over some saucy jack art on the discord server. everyone agreed jack needed some dicking and i couldn't help myself. it's purely pwp, ~1300 words. enjoy!
-
Jack's cheek slams against the closed door. He groans deep in his chest, hands fumbling for the handle. But Gabe presses up to him, shoves him harder against the cold metal, breath warm into his nape. Grinding his erection into Jack's ass, so hard even through layers of clothing.
"Cut it off, let's just get this over with," Jack grumbles with no actual anger. There's still some little space left in his mind for concerns (they could be seen here), but he's quickly losing it. His own pants are already tented and he knows Gabe lives to torture him.
"Yes sir," is a murmur and a laugh, but he releases Jack's body ever so slightly, only so he can finally push the door open and have them both slip inside.
As soon as the lock clicks, Gabe's onto him again.
"We don't have much time," Jack breathes as he's being pushed back into shelves of cleaning products, this dusty broom closet that they managed to find in their desperation. "I have a meeting in 30."
"Won't take all that." Gabe offers a smirk, pecks his lips before flipping him over, and suddenly Jack becomes aware that his pants have been opened just as they're shoved down his hips.
Then there are fingers being pushed into his mouth and as he sucks on them, swirling his tongue and licking and moaning as he would around Gabe's cock, the way he knows drives his boyfriend crazy. Gabe's underwear, the only piece of clothing separating them now, is noticeably wet when he starts grinding against Jack again.
Jack pushes back. Gabe chokes around something that sounds like slut.
But he's the one sighing when a wet finger slithers into his hole. Gabe seems to have found his voice again, because suddenly his lips are at Jack's ear and he's going, "You like that, don't you?" And Jack can only nod as shivers rake through him; the prickly feeling of Gabe's mustache on his skin is what he lives for.
"Give us another," he says over his shoulder, inches between his and Gabe's face, so he feels more than hears the chuckle.
"Already?" He teases, but does begin to push a second digit in.
"No time," Jack all but manages as a full body shudder hits him and he sags against Gabe's body.
Gabe, who's pressing kisses into his neck, scissoring and curling his fingers carefully inside him, so good and thoughtful and sexy, he has Jack already leaking before he's even gotten any dick.
"You good?" Gabe asks a minute later and he only nods, so the fingers disappear and hands curl around his hips to hold him in place. Jack's mouth waters in expectation, opening up, pushing back.
"Going in," he announces as the head begins to nudge against Jack's hole, and by God, he's huge, somehow Jack always forgets even though he had him just last night and the night before. But he always feels so good, fills him up so nicely - he's grinning to himself as Gabe pushes and pushes for endless minutes, until-
Something tumbles out of the shelf. Gabe's forehead rests on his nape and his breathing is shaky right before he starts chuckling into Jack's uniform. "You're always so tight."
He laughs, too. Perspective is a funny thing.
"Get a move on, come on," he says, slapping Gabe's hip. "We're on a tight schedule here."
Gabe's still cackling when he begins to pull back. And then they're both moaning when he slams back in. Jack has to remind himself that this is a broom closet that most likely isn't soundproof, that they're at work; has to bite his lips to the point of almost drawing blood to keep the noises in.
Because he's been in a mood all morning and Gabe knows, so he's ruthless, giving Jack everything that he so desperately needs. At some point he changes the angle ever so slightly and then-
"Ah-!" The sound escapes him as Jack jolts in place, waves of electric pleasure coursing through him. He breathes shakily, clutching onto the shelves as even more containers topple to the floor.
Gabe breathes a little gotcha and adjusts his footing so he can aim for that spot again, and again, and again, with every thrust. All Jack can do is take it, and he would wish it no different; he's full of his boyfriend's delicious cock, drinking on his scent with every breath, crowded into a tiny broom closet by his body and presence. This is his vision of Heaven.
He leans back, relaxing into Gabe's hold and reaching back with one hand to cradle his head. Gabe leans over for a lazy, wet kiss that has spit dribbling down their chins - and he licks at Jack's jaw, the shell of his ear. Breath humid and sinful.
"Wish you could see yourself like this," he mutters, sounding on the verge of delirious. "Taking it so well. Like you were made to take cock, I swear."
Jack swallows a moan that turns into a whimper in his chest as he sags forward, pressing his forehead into the shelf. Thinks, maybe I was made to take yours, but doesn't manage to get the words out, because Gabe nudges his prostate once, twice and on the third thrust, Jack comes apart. Untouched. Doesn't even realize he's close, doesn't have the time to warn Gabe; just fully melts, painting bottles of disinfectant with his pleasure.
And even as the haze of completion sets over his senses, he's still partly aware of Gabe going fucking ham in his ass, faster now that Jack's finished - pulling his cheeks apart, kneading at the meat. Little sighs escaping his lips, informing Jack that he's also close. Jack finds something of control over himself to push back into him, take him deeper still, clench around him.
If they were in bed and had time, he would ask Gabe to slow down, to savor it; to coax Jack back to hardness with sensual touches and, who knows, even a toy to see how far he can be stretched. How many times Gabe can make him come in one night. He would call Jack a slut again and maybe he's right.
He loses the train of thought when Gabe finally climaxes, filling him up with so much come that it immediately begins to leak even before Gabe's pulled out. A finger's brought to his lips again and he sucks on it again. Gabe tastes like Jack's own ambrosia.
His watch goes off, suddenly. Jack recognizes the alarm he set up for the meeting; he has 5 minutes to clean up this whole mess and get his sore ass over to the conference room.
Gabe sighs somewhere behind him. "I got it, I got it," he grumbles with a certain tone of annoyance, not at Jack, just at- well, adult life. But then a soft cloth is gently wiping his ass and Jack straightens up his pants while Gabe begins to clean up their mess.
He spins around, grabs at Gabriel's shirt and pulls him into a kiss. They breathe together a for a quiet moment, lips sealed with passion.
"Thank you," he murmurs into his lips and the frown softens, so Jack already won.
Gabe only shrugs and says, "Sure." Right now he makes a cute picture that Jack wishes he could photograph - pants still open, shirt messy, some stained cloth in his hands, in a broom closet that seems to have survived an earthquake.
"See you tonight?" Jack asks over his shoulder, hand already at the door, though he wishes so badly he could stay.
Gabe grins with a hazy, lusty look in his hooded yes. "Yes sir."
- for our friendly neighborhood soldier dad :) <3

Spy x Family #67.1 · Side effects
· · Alert: This contains spoiler · ·
This review is quite long, so prepare for a lot of text xD
Today's chapter was quite daily, funny moments and with a rather dramatic and surprising twist. So, I will begin by giving my opinion and future impressions on the route that Loid Forger/Twilight's life is taking
Anya is growing, but problems too:
Lately I see Endo striving to make Anya's facial expressions more mature. Gone from being more ingenious and taking advantage of the circumstances around them. Agent Starlight Anya is becoming aware of the world around her and in favor of the Mission (as her dad would say) is playing her own cards. Although at first he perceived his mom's encounter with Sy-on Boy's mom as something negative, it turned the issue around:
Tumblr media
Obviously, Anya still retains her nature, unpredictable, adventurous and adorable. But now she understands more the world around her and seeks how to support her dad by longing for the family she has to be preserved
I'm glad to see another side of Damiand. He may be the son of one of the greatest political figures in his country, he may be hateful and conflicted, but deep down he is a vulnerable child like everyone, with his funny moments and full of clumsiness, embarrassing and funny memories… just like anyone else.
Tumblr media
Anya also likes gossip!
I know many people don't like Damiand for being an annoying and capricious child. But they forget it's just a child drawing attention, something he doesn't have from his own parents.
But… but… but.
Everything has consequences
There's one side of the coin Anya's not seeing. We could say Anya is following "the spy's path," just like her dad, Twilight. But she ignores, the collateral damage left by spies.
Twilight has had to manipulate and use many people (some criminals, some innocent) to reach his goals. Leaving damage to those people he has manipulated (as couples he has fallen in love with and abandoned for another moment) We understand that he is a spy, that is what his work is about, using unscrupulous methods.
But Anya and Damiand are children…
Damiand is a victim of all the unfavorable circumstances of his life. Having parents who do not give him the slightest show of affection and attention he needs, living under the shadow of the name Desmond and receiving the crumbs of attention he receives for flattery that superficial people give him. The only ones he has are his friends He knows that all of his classmates and everything he gets is due to the stance his parents have in society, and he is very clear, that people approach him with double intentions and not because they are really genuine people.
Hence his enormous disappointment with Anya
Tumblr media
The reason he feels that attraction to her is because Anya was perhaps the first child to face him. She didn't care who he was, his status or his last name. About to hit him in the face on the first day. She treated him like one more child.
(Anya defended herself from him, although she knows he's on a mission) But for Damiand, Anya was someone who treated him differently.
Damiand likes how authentic Anya is. She is clumsy, naive, distracted, makes moves of a shonen (XD) and wants to approach him (for the mission), while he was falling in love. But realizing that she wants to be around him for his parents represents that he is "just interested" and she is just… one of so many people who's just using it.
It is sad to think that in the future, whether Donovan or Melinda, or both fall for justice and their war plans are real. Damiand's the one who's going to suffer the most. And somehow, Anya is contributing to this.
I know Anya does all this to get the love of her parents, she has suffered a lot, and wants to preserve what little she has managed to get. But that doesn't take away the risk of her accidentally hurting Damiand for the mission. And even though they have a complicated relationship, and they're still kids… she has perceived that Damiand is someone with real and vulnerable feelings
If Anya and Twilight will have to learn about the side effects of these lies "for their mission" they have. Just as lies exist to preserve peace, lies also hurt many innocent people.Is it worth ruining someone's life for a greater good? Maybe if, or maybe not… It's the dark side of a spy's life.
Past with Twilight:
We saw another facet of labor envy. While Yor, who is an unsociable person is mistreated by Camila and her friends, Loid is the opposite
Tumblr media
Someone sociable, kind, loved by all, popular with women and friend of all men. Generating hatred for a resentful man who detests that another person is overcome by having better dowries, and because he is in love with Fiona.
It's great to see another facet of Loid's character. Who in his desire to scale in his work, has built positive relationships in his work to quash suspicions, and in particular, rise from hierarchy. So Loid spends considerable time in the hospital when he's not a spy. It seems confirmed that Loid/Twilight spends considerable time with Fiona/Nightfall every day when they work (This woman counts the seconds she talks to him xDD)
The plan regarding Melinda
I see that as expected Fiona will once again demerit Yor. And well, Twilight just ignores this because really undermining on that subject with her is not like it makes a lot of sense. After all, he is blind to the love nightfall has for him, assuming it is lack of control and desire to excel as a spy. In addition she will always look for a way to demerit/insult Yor to look for a little bend and see if it causes divorce from them. Although Yor almost annihilated her last time
As expected, Twilight is generating a backup plan now that it has a connection with Melinda, but there are points to note:
Tumblr media
I understand that from Twilight's perspective it may sound like a good idea…. but… I think he's ignoring the flaws in this same plan: Yor is not a spy, so she doesn't know she's on a mission. So she's not with Melinda to figure out war plans. That's why he thinks infiltrating Fiona is a good idea…. But, there are details that seem to me to be risky:
The Fiona and Yoru relationship: You don't have to be a genius to know that they don't get along. Yoru is kind but insecure, and Fiona's presence can devastate her, especially in the same environment. Obviously, Fiona doesn't have the slightest chance to be friends with Yor, let alone change her mind, both of which are seen as a threat. Therefore, Fiona will look to make Yor feel bad all the time, she messes with Yor even in front of Loid, being alone is much worse. And Yoru may feel depressed, and jealous to see Loid spend time with her and try and include her more (for the mission)
Assuming Fiona uses a new identity, one that Yoru completely ignores. Even as she tries to sabotage Yor, Nightfall has no self-control when it comes to "competing" for Twilight. And acting with another identity along with Melinda and her friends, she'll try to compete with Yor. Sabotaging the mission and sabotaging Yoru. I know Yoru is perfectly capable of taking care of herself, but she is emotionally very sensitive. She is clearly affected when someone shows up and tries to make her feel insecure, Yoru still doesn't do well with the idea of being friends with Melinda, now that her rival (or officer) gets in the way, complicates the whole thing
Melinda doesn't accept anyone in her group. It was made clear that she never let anyone join her group. All her old friends are from before she was "the first lady." The Yor thing was something special, and although Nightfall is very athletic to be included in a sports game…. I don't know if she reacts like that with anyone… In fact, I think Melinda's interest in Yor is for "something special…" (Whether you have a hidden reason or not)
I know Twilight doesn't know, but… Melinda looks like she's an intelligent woman. And I think she can easily suspect. And if Nightfall approaches, it can trigger all alarms. Besides, Melinda's not the kind of person to "tell everything about her." In fact, the look he gave Yor for the children's issue is very strange.
I don't know if I'm letting myself be blinded by my personal taste, since I love Yoru. But, I think Endo plays with ironies, the more they force themselves to discover the Desmond the more the gap closes. I think Yor, without being a spy, can go a lot further with Melinda than she can get to do Nightfall/Fiona. Although, we will have to wait if in the future this plan is realized or not
Regarding Fiona…
I haven't done a Nightfall analysis (Do you think I should?) But, her feelings for Twilight cause me… a conflict.
On the one hand I don't feel bad about the character, in fact, I don't blame her for being in love with him. No one can control and decide who falls in love or not…. But the way she "demonstrates her love," far from making her grow as a person… makes her look more selfish and exploited… I understand she's used to using tricks to get what she wants (She's a spy) But… sometimes it manages to be painful.
I know that she is good at her job (most of the time), and I see that they have a good relationship as colleagues. Twilight respects and appreciates her, like every teacher who had a pupil, plus they spend time together and help him on his deck as a psychiatrist.
Tumblr media
But most of the time, I feel "sorry for Fiona" and her feelings. And I'll make a personal confession: "I don't like feeling sorry for a character." I like to empathize with them, watch them fall and learn in the process.
But feeling sorry for characters trapped in love triangles, and especially when that relationship has no future, it makes me sad. I feel bad for her every time she feels genuinely bad because Twilight is so blind… but at the same time, I get a little irritation from his insistence (≖_≖ )
[I think like Yoru, it also makes me a little jealous to see her with Twilight. I know he has no romantic interest in Fiona, he sees her as a colleague and companion. But seeing Twilight be so, but so blind, caught up in his denial for accepting his family becomes so frustrating. Especially when these two women melt for him, in front of his own face and he just doesn't find out) (Yoru is not only inexperienced, she feels threatened because she doesn't know what "place" she occupies in Loid (Twilight) She only believes that he appreciates her because she agreed to be a "wife, fake mother." While Fiona is living off a frustrating fantasy, yearned for approval and romantic love she may never get
Sometimes I wish that like the Bond-Man chapter, they all come together as a team and that Twilight gets a good punch in the face, if he stops being blind!!] (ง︡'-'︠)ง (`▿´) 👊
....Sorry, I'm getting off the subject
… I return to the chapter ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)
I love seeing Twilight in his plan to "Make Loid Forger look like a fool." But divine justice makes being a fool, shameful people alike worship him xDDD
Tumblr media
Well, envious sir, I showed up out of nowhere. The world is not fair and kind and attractive subjects end up winning. xDDDD Even Loid can't make himself look bad so… your much less!!!
…. Now, let's talk about what's important…
Tumblr media
I guess I'm not the only one who fell, got back up and fell back when I saw this last panel, right?
First the shopkeeper... and not now the SSS? Twilight is ignoring a lot of things around him (that he doesn't have to know about) Before Fiona warned him, Twilight didn't realize that this guy was hating him... Which is weird, because he usually picks up on hateful looks, and suspicious towards him... Perhaps if he is letting his guard down a bit? Although... well, it's impossible to control everything
What could happen in the future?
I've heard many talk about Yuri showing up and I'll say I agree 100%. It seems likely to me that Yuri finds out about this:
Yuri sees that he is recognized within the SSS for his work hunting down spies and traitors of the country, he has gained recognition very quickly and the appreciation of his bosses.
It is obvious that if Yuri finds out that someone suspects that Loid is a spy, this man is going to go crazy. It's the perfect opportunity to find a divorce pretext for his sister
However, there are no clues and Yuri does not work alone. His closest colleague from the SSS always calls him to calm down and look for evidence. As we have seen in extra chapters about Yuri, they will very surely place microphones, and they will intervene the entire hospital to be able to detect Loid if he does something strange.
Obviously Fiona and Twilight will surely realize they're being watched. So their work as spies will surely be hampered to the extreme having to act totally normal.
Are Yuri and Fiona going to meet? It is very probable. In fact, it would make sense. We are getting closer to the crazy, obsessive and highly unstable of this series.... this is literally a bomb xD
Assuming that Twilight realizes that the SSS, especially Yuri, is watching him like a predator to prey, he will surely have to warn Fiona and if he tells her that he is her brother-in-law (Yor's brother). This woman, in her eagerness to win Twilight's heart and keep Yor Briar away, I think she was looking for a way to protect her identity and keep him from suspicion. Will she directly approach the policeman acting as a simple secretary? Will Yuri approach to inquire into Loid's life?
If Yuri finds out that Fiona hates her sister? Fiona realizes that Yuri hates loid... this is going to get highly explosive... I see those two crazy people in an action battle
Twilight's water is reaching his neck. And I see a lot of Forger side effects happening around him
These episodes are being WAKU WAKU!!!
.
what do you think about it?

The party draws to a close, the moon starting to sink in the sky, the darkness deepening. Hector sighs wearily, pushing himself to his feet from where he's been sitting leaned against Karlach, listening to the familiar chatter around the fire.
He isn't quite sure where he's going, but he finds himself wandering into one of the overgrown ruins that line the campsite, and finds Withers there, lost in some bit of inscrutable thought.
Tumblr media
"This one night is like any other..." the skeleton intones. At first he seems to be speaking to himself, but his head slowly turns to incline towards Hector in acknowledgement. "And yet... different."
Tumblr media
"Thou art the savior of Baldur's Gate. Until such time as it requires saving again." Withers peers at Hector inquiringly. "How dost thou feel?"
Tumblr media
Hector smiles faintly. Withers is as perplexing as ever - even for a former god, as Hector knows him to be now, though somehow he has never felt quite the same awe of him as he has of the other gods he's encountered, perhaps because Hector first met him climbing out of a coffin. Or perhaps simply because he offers no pretensions of - well, anything, really, let alone divinity.
"I'm just glad to have a break from the hells," he says casually. "It's the little things."
Tumblr media
Withers grunts, a noise that seems to be the closest thing he can manage to a laugh. "I am pleased to hear it. The satisfaction of one's intention is, to my surprise, a rare accomplishment. Enjoy the revelry of the day; thou deservest at least that much."
-----
There are a few items to look at around Withers before we end the party.
"Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate (Signed)":
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The Book of Willing Souls":
Tumblr media
While looking around further before ending the party I've discovered there's a chest full of letters from various characters so that will get its own post. XD
