Something something Icarus’ coat being an even split between purple and yellow symbolizes their struggle between wanting to be a good brother to Rae and a good kid for Fable.
Icarus gets the fuckig hug (so i can sleep peacefully)
"Do you want a hug?"
The question caught them off guard. They weren't expecting that. They weren't really expecting any of this conversation to go the way it has. They weren't expecting Rae to even be there today.
They knew the answer, of course. They couldn't remember the last time they'd been hugged. But the thoughts ate away at their mind, telling them that they didn't deserve a hug. Especially not from Rae, and yet here he was. Telling them he missed them, he loves them. Offering that hug. That human contact. Something so simple, so basic yet something they craved so deeply.
"y- yeah... please"
They took a hesitant step towards Rae and he closed the rest of the distance. He wrapped his arms around them and they melted into his embrace. They didn't know what to do with their hands, so they remained awkwardly standing there as their brother held them. He was crying. They were trying so hard not to.
i;m sorry but the mental image of rae literally sprinting across the wolftross house to punch ari in the face is so fucking funny to me. man has had ENOUGH. there are so many guys fucking up his life that are non-punchable that he saw the one who IS punchable and just let loose. if you removed rae morningstar's sense of self-preservation i think he would have clocked fable in the jaw three months ago and knocked that bitch out cold
youre still the boy who thought kissing girls was gross, the one who found a kid on the beach and helped him to a cave when the sun was too bright, the one who searched endlessly to try to find him again.
youre still the scientist, working with your lab assistants to figure out dimensions, the one who made friends with a farmer who had an explosive crystal in his house, the one who tore his eye out to help his friends
youre still the friend, the brother, the cousin, who worked so hard to get everyone's memories back, the one who risked himself to help his cousin/nephew, the one who tried to protect everyone even if it meant hurting himself.
youre still the son who was working to help his mom and bonding with his mother, still the brother who is trying to help his sibling, still the friend trying to save people, its still you.
your eyes have changed, as has your face, and you grew horns and a tail but, despite everything its still you
apparently I’m scary because I don’t use or own a stylus or drawing tablet?
I’m just over here drawing on my phone and an iPad that was free because it was so badly broken that someone I know was told to dispose of it from their work.
Yes I draw with my finger and occasionally get blisters from it, it’s totally fine.
Anyways, have some art I did on my phone yesterday :D
Specific quotes Fable said in "family reunion" that make brain do the things
"I must let you know she is not herself right now"
"What you did to her" -Rae
"From what ⟟ tried to help her with"
This- right here truly makes me wonder *why* he ever cursed her to begin with, bc as much as ⟟ sit here and think it was bc she ran, ⟟ swear he had to have another reason behind it and it- ⟟ just wanna knowww why-
"She (Isla) gets to make that choice" (in referring to wanting Fable)
"Does she?" -Rae
"Yes, when she is well"
...Fable does she get to make that choice? She's never been given ⏃ choice *by you* yes she decided to marry you to protect her people but, and Rae even brings that up 2 seconds later, that you've taken that choice away from her, you took her away from her children bc she ran- you've never really given her ⏃ choice in anything- and yet she's still stayed until she had to flee
"Rae, when you are ready to help your mother and to fix our family...you can do the same for your mother when you are ready to give her that chance" (second quote is referring to Rae having been Fable ⏃ chance when getting him out of purgitory)
Fable- Fable- you know you could just- like- wake her up and take her out (granted ⟟ don't think he knows she's uncursed-) Rae said he could help her but he's not gonna want him present with that, bc that's really all he has left of his family and he doesn't want him messing with her again bc he's the reason she was even cursed to begin with
And again, putting it all on Rae like- it's his responsibility- like he's the reason she can't be with them rn- bc he doesn't want her anywhere near him (I sure would hope she wouldn't want to be anywhere near him either)
Him also claiming he struggled with being mortal- sir- you portrayed yourself as mortal *for so long* hell- you raised Icarus- don't try telling Rae you struggled with that- its so much bs-
I fucking love how Icarus is like “RaE dOeSn’T lOvE mE,” like if you were to spill soup on Rae’s lap he wouldn’t apologise to you like YES THE FUCK HE WOUlD!!!
