The most challenging thing about writing Eddie is I know nothing about D&D. This should be easily fixed right? I can just research. Except, for some reason, almost everything I learn about D&D just slides right out of my brain and I have no idea why! Nothing sticks!! It’s totally bizarre and it happens no matter what I try 😂

OKAY I KNOW THIS IS A LOT BUT I HONESTLY COULDN’T DECIDE WHICH ONES I LIKE MOST SO HERES ALL OF THEM it looks so stupid fjskakak
Basically these are the outfits I draw them in when I don’t wanna draw their uniforms (which is all the time). Modern AU if you will I guess
Also here’s a ROUGH concept of Kak’s t-shirt
He deserves better I know but the thought of hyperwave x emerald splash has a chokehold on me

"i wanna draw shippy art, so give me a ship!" #9
I... I had a lot of trouble with this one. Originally was going to have Yami!Bakura holding Bakura's chin while Bakura looked a little lost or soulless. Of course, I have no idea if such posing was in character or not... and then! I remembered that these characters have Millennium Puzzles or whatever. And I looked up what Bakura's was, and it was the Ring. So I was like... what if they are both holding it in their mouths, because symbolism, and also because that would be suggestive, and suggestive is totes in the realm of shippy? But then. But then I couldn't figure out the bodies or the faces and so I was like, HOW ABOUT JUST THEIR FACES. But then I was really struggling with the G pen (first time using it was today!) and then... and then... yeah. I was like. Why don't I just. Fix my mistakes digitally. But that didn't turn out well either. So I just redrew it, reiterating on the previous pose idea, but making it smaller so it was easier to ink, and by this point, I was very tired.
ALSO WTF IS GOING ON WITH YAMI!BAKURA'S HAIR?!?! WHAT ARE THOSE WING THINGS AAAAAAA

I'm having Thoughts about the puritanism and ageism so rife in fan cultures and then about the discourse I'm seeing around Ted's choices and the people saying the only right thing for him to do was to sacrifice everything to be there for his kid, OBVIOUSLY, anything else would be WRONG... and narratively, especially by the end of the story they set up, yes this pretty much was the only answer. So maybe so. But also that argument... oooooh idk I have some Feelings about it and I feel like there's a lot in there to unpack that I don't love

oh god i just unlocked this memory from 10 years ago when I celebrated my 22nd birthday in LA and went out with friends and got super drunk — so so so drunk i don't even remember how i made it home — and then the next day i woke up with one of the worst hangovers of my entire life and it was painful and disgusting. and then my friend texted me asking if i wanted to go to malibu and i said "im not in the mood to leave the house" but 15 minutes later he texted again "get ready im already outside" (something I only thought it happened in movies yknow) and so he drove us to malibu and we climbed the sand dunes — and let me tell you that was one of the most insane experiences of my life bc i was still hungover and i thought i would throw up and pass out halfway so i took a break and sat down and the wind hit my face and i just stood there and then after 10 minutes i was a whole new person and felt absolutely amazing like i hadn't had even one sip of tequila the night before. i cant even explain how good it felt!! — then after that we went to the beach and saw a whale!!!!!! and that was the first time i ever saw a whale and omg the whole experience was just so unbelievably amazing 😭 that was one of the most beautiful friendships ive ever made and that moment was one of the most genuine and just so special and i don't have any pictures from that day so i hope i never forget this memory bc it just makes me really f happy 😭 im sorry but not being from the US and living in south america those kind of places feel so out of reach 24/7 that the fact this is an actual memory i have from a very real moment just blows my mind 😭 idk why it's almost 1am and im getting so emotional over this but yknow!!!! 😭 here i am!!!!!! 😭😭😭

i feel like everyone needs to get WAY more angry at the conditions that resulted in moash doing the things he has. it’s crazy how we see constant “sure bad things happened to him but his reaction was totally too far and indefensible” alongside people frantically tripping over each other to make excuses for fucking. elhokar or whoever. oh, the context, the nebulous context that somehow shifts personal blame from the upper class onto the concept of ~society~ even as everyone chews glass the second MOASH decides to blame society for his actions. literally what lol!!!!
and like. i KNOW why but why exactly are we holding Moash to a constant higher moral standard than LITERALLY any other character. is it because he’s an antagonist. could there perhaps be SOME bias against the guy you’ve been making memes about hating for the past few years, possibly. is it because of kaladin who people seem to think ‘proves’ moash could have taken a different path while adolin, who walked his privileged ass into jail to stand up for Kaladin doesn’t prove that alethi society can be better and stop looking down from their high horses at the people reacting to problems THEY caused? hello??? can anyone hear me???? hello????

Do the decades/time-periods the nonhuman Len'ens were born + raised in still have an effect on their personality, or have they kind of assimilated themselves with the times?
There is a short answer and a long answer to this question. The short answer is: yes. God yes.
The long answer is, of course, "it's complicated, and depends entirely on the individual." Youkai, like humans, typically reflect the time period one grows up in. A youkai born in the Yayoi Period is going to have a different first century than one born in the Edo Period, as a simple example.
Unlike humans, most youkai (or at the least the ones that survive their first century of life) live for hundreds, some even thousands, of years. This means that oftentimes, the world, as well as what it values, changes over and over again with little consistency between periods. For a lot of youkai, the centuries all just kind of blend together after a while. The oldest of youkai can even remember when humans lived in caves, so to them the Human Era as it is now would've been completely unthinkable.
But ultimately, it really boils down to how the youkai in question adapts. Many, as you put it, assimilate with the times. Sukune and Lumen are two great examples, both having (at least in my headcanon) been around since a little after Mugenri was founded. They've seen the rise and fall of many kingdoms and empires in that time period, and yet both merrily continue on with their lives, only stopping occasionally during those funny moments of clarity. If at all.
Others...Others, do not take the rapid pace of time very well and cling to their past like a life line. The Adagumo siblings are both easy examples of this. They've had a hellish first century of life in a very bloody period period of human-youkai skirmishes. And unlike plenty of other youkai their age, neither really made much of an effort to adapt to the current time period. Yaorochi and Saragimaru both carry a lot of perplexing at best and downright outdated habits and views at worst, and both will happily make them known to you if you let them. That's not to say the past is better in their eyes, just...what they're used to.
And of course, this isn't very clear cut, even if the youkai in question has a clear stance. Sukune commonly uses and recommends pottery styles and techniques from their first century. Yaorochi is perfectly capable of trying new things that may not have existed when they were much younger (even if they scorn modern technology from the Outside World). In the end, I suppose it is a mixture of the two. How much of both sides truly depends on the youkai in question.
