Ryoga: Please excuse me.

Amagiri: Ah, you’ve arrived.

Ryoga: Good to see you.

Amagiri: Come, take a seat.

Amagiri: Apologies for making you come all the way down here to the main office.

Ryoga: I didn’t take it as an obligation. I wanted to talk to you again, face-to-face, and it takes two hands to clap. That’s all there is to it. 

Amagiri: I see. I admit that I believed that you wouldn’t say no to this opportunity, but that would give the impression that I’ve left you hanging, wouldn’t it?

(Door knocks. A staff member enters)

Staff member: Excuse me, I’ve brought some tea.

Amagiri: Thank you. You can leave it there.

(Staff member puts the tray down)

Staff member: I’ll be taking my leave then.

Ryoga: I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t expecting you to reach out. But then again, it works out for me. After all, I’m just a nuisance of a has-been to you, right?

Amagiri: There wouldn’t be any other reason to initiate contact with you. I acknowledge that much. Kagekawa Ryoga-kun, allow me to express my gratitude for the effort you’ve put into your work. 

Ryoga: You and your lip service… Let me make this clear, I’m only putting up with so much just to get up close and personal with you. After I’m done with you, I have every intention of leaving you in the dust.

Amagiri: How curious, that sounds like deja vu.

Ryoga: Right back at you. You went ahead and did a background check on me, didn’t you? But tough luck, Hiro secured his right to be in Anthos* and he will never turn out the way you wanted him to. And I’ll make sure it won’t happen. Never again.

Amagiri: Oh?

Ryoga: Anyway, what kind of ‘regulating’ were you expecting from me? Shall we just call it off here?

Amagiri: *chuckles* Just what on earth are you talking about?

Ryoga: Whatever you say now can’t surprise me anymore. 

Amagiri: It seems like we are having a sort of misunderstanding. 

Ryoga: Misunderstanding?

Amagiri: My goal is to birth the perfect idol, and to have Anthos play along with that made me most pleased, so thank you. It was truly the right decision to bring you in and give that good-for-nothing a little push.

Ryoga: Hiro isn’t some good-for-nothing! My responsibility to watch over Anthos was over once Hiro’s flower bloomed. That’s what I came here to tell you. (Ryoga gets up to leave)

Amagiri: Hold it right there. I’m not done talking.

Ryoga: There’s nothing I want to hear.

Amagiri: I still have a duty of importance to bestow you.

Ryoga: Say what you want, but I’ve made up my mind about not going along with your plans anymore.

Amagiri: Just sit down and hear me out, at least for the short time until Ageha returns.

Ryoga: Returns?

Amagiri: It was a long talk.

Ryoga: I see.. So that’s why he was in a bad mood…

Ryoga: If what you’re saying is true, then you’re just contradicting yourself.

Amagiri: Contradicting myself? About?

Ryoga: Why would you call me over in the middle of your discussion with Karasuma Ageha? Louloudi*’s the closest thing you have to your ‘perfect idol’, so of course Ageha would take greater priority for you.

Amagiri: Some greedy personality you have, I must say. Between the both of us, there’s not enough patience to go around. Why don’t you sit down and have a cup of tea, and perhaps we can reach some sort of mutual agreement?

Ryoga: Quit messing with me.

Amagiri: I most certainly am not. Listen closely, Kagekawa-kun. I have expectations of you. You have great talent.

Ryoga: Talent? Something like that–

Amagiri: You have the talent to set the pulse of the group called Anthos*--and by extension its members–into motion. The fate of whether that good-for-nothing lived or died was riding on your whims.

Ryoga: What do you mean?

Amagiri: I meant exactly as I said, word for word. Here, take a seat. I’ll have them make some hot tea.

(Elevator rings)

Ryoga: (sighs) Seriously… What was supposed to be brief ended up being so long-winded… And I guess those two from Louloudi* ended up going back too, huh. I wanted to try talking to them a bit more.

Setsuna: Ryoga?

Ryoga: Setsuna?

Setsuna: What are you doing?

Ryoga: That’s my line. What’re you doing here?

Setsuna: I was called over.

Ryoga: Called over? By whom?

Setsuna: I don’t know.

Ryoga: Huh?

Setsuna: I was just told that someone from the main office wanted to see me, so I came. How about Ryoga?

Ryoga: Well, I–uh. Same thing.

Setsuna: Same thing?

Ryoga: Oh, right, did you bump into Ageha and Rui?

Setsuna: No, I didn’t. Why?

Ryoga: They were here just a second ago. I kind of heard a little from Hiro that you guys were friends.

Setsuna: Oh. Friends… No. That’s probably not it.

Ryoga: Probably?

Setsuna: Knowing just what they look like doesn’t make them my friends. Am I wrong?

Ryoga: You’re not… entirely wrong. But, really?

Setsuna: Really. I don’t have a reason to lie to you, do I?

Ryoga: You’re telling me.

Setsuna: I don’t. That’s why I’m telling you the truth.

Ryoga: Got it, sorry for doubting you there.

Setsuna: Did I… do something to make Ryoga doubt me?

Ryoga: Not anymore.

Setsuna: Hmm… Say, can I ask you something?

Ryoga: Well, if it’s something I can answer.

Setsuna: Is Mahiro… doing well?

Ryoga: Why are you asking me that?

Setsuna: I was just wondering if he’s happy.

Ryoga: He’s plenty happy. So are all my other groupmates.

Setsuna: I see.

Medical Staff: You’re Yashiro Setsuna-san, right?

Setsuna: Mm.

Medical Staff: Allow me to escort you. This way, please.

Setsuna: I’ll be going, okay?

Ryoga: Sure. See you around.

Setsuna: See you, Ryoga.

(Setsuna leaves)

Ryoga: (sighs) I just don’t get that guy… He seems pretty out-of-it at first glance, but his joining in was under President Amagiri’s orders. Just what is he hoping to achieve? Going by his line of thinking to create the perfect idol, letting Setsuna join Anthos* midway wouldn’t even have the benefit of acting as an observer. Harbouring instability would just be detrimental to the growth of the flower. The timing is just too risky. Then could it mean, he’s aiming for something else…?

Ryoga: (groans) I have no clue!

Ryoga: I’m back!

Kaoru: Welcome back, um…

Ryoga: Oh? What’s up, Kaoru?

Kaoru: It’s nothing, uh–

Mahiro: Ryo-san, welcome back!

Ryoga: I’m back, Hiro. Whatever you’ve got in that pot smells pretty good!

Mahiro: (puts down pot) Right? Today is my specially-made beef stew!

Haruta: Hiro-nii, I’m gonna leave the ladle here, ‘kay?

Mahiro: Yep, thanks!

Haruta: Ryo-nii, since when did you get back?

Ryoga: Just now.

Kaoru: Ryo-san… Ryo-nii… oh, right, Ryoga-san.

Ryoga: …Kaoru?

Kaoru: Yes! What is it?

Ryoga: What’s up with you? You’ve got something you wanna tell me?

Kaoru: Well… I was thinking that you came back quite late, so I was wondering where you went.

Mahiro: Yeah! You just suddenly got up and went all by yourself.

Ryoga: My bad, my bad. I just went out to take photos of the mountains. It’s been some time since I took a hike and snapped a bunch, so I just went a little further than expected!

Haruta: Lucky you were right in time for food.

Mahiro: We were thinking about taking your portion if you weren’t going to turn up for dinner, right?

Haruta: Totes!

Ryoga: You two cut me some slack, save that for Lihito.

Lihito: Save what for who? I heard a mention about secretly making off with meals.

Ryoga: Your coincidental timing is way too convenient…

Lihito: Did you say something?

Ryoga: Something about you and your sharp hearing.

Lihito: Did you honestly believe I’d let you off with a comeback like that?

Chise: Ryo-kun, welcome back!

Ryoga: Oh, Chise! You’re looking better today.

Chise: Hehe, Litto kept me company the whole day! (hugs)

Lihito: !! H-hold on, Chise…!

Chise: That’s why I’m all right as rain!

Ryoga: Good for you.

Mahiro: (claps) Okay, everyone, time to set the table, before the beef stew gets cold!

Haruta: On it! Kao-nii, let’s go.

Kaoru: Y-yes!

Ryoga: Sure feels good to be back.

Mahiro: Ryo-san.

Ryoga: Hmm? What’s up?

Mahiro: After dinner, if it’s alright with you, could you show it to me? Those photos you took of the mountains, I mean.

I haven't drawn in so long and tf2 comes back with a bat to my brain again after I first got super into it when I was *checks notes* 14 I gotta get my gears wet again and like, rediscover how to draw and I'm wetting my feet again with a heavymedic shit post 😭

------------------- EDIT: The original images contained a text post from someone who did not want that text post spread - So let's have the blank versions instead! Imagine any dialogue in there that you want lol

[pippindot]

Then and now

[septemberlikeastorm]

love that qimir/the stranger is canonically a giant purse girlie

need snacks?? my guy's got a single slim jim & seven (7) whole coconuts in there need cash?? no problem just ignore the dried blood on it it's fine don't WORRY ABOUT IT need tampons?? name your flow bro. he's got you covered from light to "guess there's no point striking you down with my lightsaber, with this kind of blood loss you'll be dead in seven minutes anyway"

Could I request Medic having The Mom Grip on Scout’s shoulder after the speedy moron almost let a mercenary secret slip while they weee getting groceries?

Three Europeans and two Americans walk into a grocery store in New Mexico.

I hope this is the right meme.

More silliness below.

This comic is the antithesis of the "wtf is a kilometre" joke.

The faces they make when they can't quite identify the type of brown bread in the bread aisle.

You don't know how [insert nationality here] you are until you go overseas and things are different.

Spy obviously has no problems with pretending to know how much a gallon of milk is, he just peeks into his conversion chart notes, pretending it's his shopping list.

I want to think Heavy is completely fine with having to readjust to a new unit system, he just eyeballs most practical things anyways by holding them up and mumbling about how they approximately weigh like a chicken or his kettle bell etc. He's always been living in practical ignorant bliss.

Medic has a peer reviewed meltdown the first time he realises there's no uniformity in "a cup of ____" because every object has different densities. He's diligent about memorising the conversion rates for ounces, pounds, the most common things etc., and recovers ok. He goes through the same stages of grief rage when he finds out about distances and lengths.

Just remember four inches are 10.16 cm and pray no one asks you to specify anything bigger than inches.

Everyone does a mental victory lap when they manage to guess how much Celsius the weather is because they keep forgetting it's Celsius*5/9+32=Fahrenheit, Engineer reminds them patiently.

The true victories are the correct temperature guesses we've made along the way.

One time, a friend asked me if I actually knew how much a tablespoon of flour was in gramms to convince me that metric users also make use of volume based units without thinking about them. But little did she know a heaped spoonful of 405 flour is about 15g and a level tablespoon is 10g.

They claim Oolong just tastes better when it's boiled to 80°C exactly with a Bunsen burner.

You only asked for one scene but somehow I came up with a bunch of other things. This post was drawn across 2 months so the artstyle is all over the place. Thanks for your ask!

Well, after many months- I'm happy to share my (rather ambitious) cover for our Final Fantasy Ladies zine: Lucia Sidera. I still can't believe the team trusted me with such an important cover. I decided to be insane and try and draw every main gal from each title and spin off (I ran out of time, so I didn't get everyone sadly). The mod team was already SO patient with me. I didn't have to do all this- but I legitimately had this vision since 2009 (and there were a LOT less gals back then). You can see from teh initial sketch layout, how many character were originally planned- but then...I went off the rails. (note, the first image is the poster version, and second is book variant)

Final Fantasy is kinda my life, let's be real- as corny as it sounds. It has been with me most of my time here on Earth. It set me upon the path I'm on now. I wouldn't be Allison without these characters, the music, the art, the stories. I won't mush too much, but this, to me, was a very special opportunity to show just how much I love this series. Getting to share that with other people in this community, whose life has been deeply touched by Final Fantasy meant a lot to me- and I hope people find there faves in this cover!

I have the remaining folded posters from the zine bundles coming in the mail, but will also be offering this as a 11x17 print soon! So much detail means it won't be coming in smaller sizes, apologies!

Anyway, it would be all too easy for me to talk about this cover and my thoughts overall but I suppose it's not overly necessary- it can speak for itself I guess! I hope you like it :)

[hinamie]
