some photos from when i first tried to pose dreisseaux's ears. they have very expressive ears, entirely out of their control - which often serve as an indication of how they feel, even if they try to hide it.

When the loporrits first approached you with their second attempt at creating something joyful for long-awaited visitors, roiling beneath Urianger's radiant and benevolent smile, it wasn't that you were suspicious. No! You had SUCH a fun time in Smileton, so much so your cheeks hurt at the thought.

No, just, maybe there was something in your chest when the loporrits said with all their little furry hearts that they had made all of this so they could truly bring something to those who have not. That something reflected on your face, and that something Urianger could see, and it prompted him to pull you aside.

He asks you, you know, 'what's wrongeth' (he doesn't actually use those words) and you tell him that you WANT to believe in them, but it's more that you WANT to believe in them than that you actually do. Which obviously isn't sufficient. And Urianger, in his way of course, telleths you to go on.

So you tell him that you've found these kinds of promises are ultimately ephemeral, and you're thinking of the Gold Saucer and how those buttery bright days, all the people you had amazing moments with that abruptly ceased to sparkle and went inert every time after. How the gaps in what it promised went unfilled, and how the promises were the problems to begin with.

Urianger listened and you both sat quietly for a bit and then he asked you if you remembered a phrase you had said once.

"I said something?"

Yes. 'Dreams are a living truthful lie.'

"That's kind of embarrassing..."

Urianger didn't think it was, and you didn't want to try hard to disbelieve him. He just asked(eth) you to try being there. Think of that purpose again.

Just for a lark, you so do. It goes better than you think.

"... thanks." "yeah."

when you bonded as two kids thoroughly traumatized and conditioned by a fascist empire until your hope eroded out of your hearts and you were left vying for a place at a table that wouldn't even toss you dinner scraps

and then in the effort to become even just as good as a dog to the people responsible for your loss and suffering, one of you orders your forces to open fire, knowing the other is still inside the tower fighting the enemy of your masters, your oppressors and the version of reality you tell yourself is real because there has to be a way where you get to live

and then you both DO live, and you see your home freed of the monsters that stole it, and you have to face the world you built and the blood you spilled and you have to do it knowing that, in the end, you can never take it back

and you're both girls 😳
