I actually started this drawing back when figure changed playbooks, but it really wasn't working. At the time I was trying to make the galaxy out of Russian sage too, and it just didn't look right. Anyway after the most recent ep I realised I could do the galaxy as stars, and finally finish this off. And now I'm pretty happy with it!
The Russian sage colours are referenced from a photo I took of the bush growing in my front garden. It was there when we bought the house, and it always felt like a pleasing coincidence. If I ever get a Russian sage/perennial tattoo, it'll probably look something like this. It's still an if because it takes me ages to decide on things, but whether or not I do, it's certainly the case that I will never be normal about perennial again.

"Selfless: The Dao of Becoming a Room"
A Palisade nano-fic
🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣🥣
In Phrygian [lounge form].
Brnine: "...so what do you like about uhh...being a room?"
Phrygian: "It's nice, you know. It's relaxing. I feel like being a room is all about truly letting go. Like finding a posture that is both good for you and easy to do."
Brnine:*remembering Saffron's recommendation to correct their slouching: "heh yeah. Posture."
[palpably awkward silence]
Phrygian: "The key thing is —and this is important—when you become a room you really need to become the whole room. You can't do it halfway. This is why you don't also see me in the room too cause I gotta let myself just be the room."
Brnine: "uh huh!"
Phrygian: "That's what those icebreaker guys never got. They never even came close to getting it. But it's not like they ever asked how I felt about it. Cause why would they, you know?"
Brnine: "yeah. I'm sorry if you feel... bad remembering all that."
Phrygian: "Thanks. Yeah nah it's fine. I actually got a lot more out of them than they got out of me, if you can believe it. "
Brnine: "oh. Cool~"
Phrygian: "...You wanna try the cereal? Figure says I'm getting better with the dried berries."
Brnine: "uh!..."
The Table:
//END FLASHBACK
Palisade spoilers below the cut, specifically honesty and integrity
I like to think about how Brnine assassinated Dahlia as a regicide by passion paired with technical and biological consequence. I could describe it as "trying to be a self absorbed princept running two divines (one of which is supposed to be a tandem divine) while also trying to be a Project Deck7 style room is like spreading yourself super super thin. Risks include loss of focus, unintended soundproofing, and extreme blood loss if compromised."
But I prefer to think that Brnine specifically realized that Phrygian's torture was this piece of shit's insane vanity project and the disgust became more personal and violent than Brnine had ever felt about anything in their life. Partway through the fight Brnine flashbacked this conversation and intuited that Dahlia not only must, but could be defeated in this opportunity.
You can try to spread yourself into a room-like shape, but to truly be a room, you gotta let go of the self.
Selfless.
