(detail + ratio rambling under the cut >_>)

This is one of those "I need a break between my ten other illustrations, let me do a lil sketchy sketch :D" that got too ambitious etc. etc. I never want to see the color red again" moments. BUT!

I really, really like to explore Ratio's viscerality and what's happening between his brain and his nerves, like... all of this thorough control and discipline and he still has to breathe and react to himself and his surroundings, you know? His accomplishments are insane for "his age"* but he's going to run out of "age" at some point! His ambitions are so far reaching that he's not worried about getting doctorate degree Number Nine! Rather, his efforts are pointed outwards, into the universe, for the universe. As you know.

Speaking of his degrees, I had a half thought a while ago that we've seen him with two types of laurel pins.

One is him in his suuuuuper cute mother goose avatar (three leaves) and the other is the hat he's wearing everywhere else (eight leaves).

The thought was, "Aww, what if they're like commemorative pins counting the number of his degrees or whatever :)". Literally only because there's eight in the current one. This is kind of silly because then you'd HAVE to have an obscene number of degrees even for a normal person for your leaf pin to start looking like a laurel in the first place so scratch that BUT it's cute to think that it's still academic regalia. Something something I work in higher ed myself and it's like... it's like that.

The university goldsmith appreciates the job security.

I REMEMBER WHY I BROUGHT THAT UP. FOLLOWING the fantasy where more leaves = more knowledge!, in summary, even though Ratio seems to be a little beyond trying to get a prize every time he learns something now. But he does want to Keep Going. He can only Keep Going.

So I drew him in a bathtub full of an uncountable amount of gold leaves looking at the camera with an indescribable expression born from a hunger that will never be satiated lol DETAIL SHOT!

*Referenced only vaguely in a comment in the context of astonishment, but it could have easily have been "woah he's accomplished so much for his age (young)" as it could be "woah he looks good for his age (older)". There is no canon age and even then, reconciling standardized system time versus planetary time versus "does his particular breed of lizard human have the same lifespan as tumblr user nhura?" is a losing game for everyone involved! Here's what I think: I think he started going grey in his early twenties, whatever that means in spacefantasygame, and that that's very cute on him.

Do YOU think Ratio would be tempted by immortality???? Or would he MIND HIS BUSINESS

[sydneys-adamu]

“why didn’t you call me?” *pulling carmy’s ear* this is an insane thing to ask after you just dipped for the whole day dude. she wanted to talk about small wares and about the damn napkins and you didn’t come back. but still you ask why she didn’t call. and an even better thing for sydney to say, better than “I should have called you, okay?” is “would you even have answered?” so is carmy asking why sydney didn’t call, or why she doesn’t trust him anymore?

because of course, he’s not asking natalie, he’s asking sydney this question straight. right in front of claire. and the insanity of this doesn’t even end there when two seconds later syd walks out pissed as hell, and carmen can’t take his eyes off of her as she leaves because that’s his answer. that’s why she didn’t call.

In Pursuit of Evocation (Hogwarts Legacy) - Chapters 1 and 2

Chapter one:

Chapter two:

In Pursuit of Evocation is a standalone fic and continuation of Inky Blue Flames following Phoebe, Sebastian and Ominis through their sixth and seventh year.

You don't need to read Inky Blue Flames first!

Synopsis:

Phoebe Honeyball is cursed—struck by a vengeful Victor Rookwood miles away from Hogwarts.

Yet she can't remember it, nor why Sebastian Sallow was with her when it happened.

In fact, her entire sixth year is a blank. Her last memory is of returning home at the end of her fifth year and grieving the loss of Professor Fig after finally defeating Ranrok.

As Phoebe tries to piece together her lost memories, she's forced to confront some uncomfortable truths: Anne Sallow remains cursed and missing, Ominis Gaunt faces harassment from his despicable family, and Sebastian Sallow harbours a secret he can't share.

Amidst the fog of her muddled mind, one thing stands out with clarity: Phoebe must revive Isidora Morganach's portrait to save both Anne, and herself.

(Sebastian x fMC)

[popsicle-stick]

having a thought about eiffel where, like, despite being desperately alone and seemingly in charge of himself for most of it, his whole life just seems to have been guided by a series of choices-that-are-not-choices in any real sense of the word. be stuck where you are or join the air force out of high school. rot in prison or go to space and help your daughter. allow everyone and everything you love be destroyed by the very people you worked for or sacrifice your memories of everything you’re trying to save. even in plot, things are often just…..happening to him! pushed from one thing to another, no real agency. i think this is why i like the open choice he’s given at the end*: if his emotional ties are gone, if he really wanted, he could be someone else. live a different life. no pain. few regrets. but the hard thing to do is to go and be douglas f. eiffel. and is hard: his life was, well. an awful mess. it’s significant that he doesn’t have to do that, per se, but that it’s an active choice for him to make, should he choose it.

*it’s also interesting to note that on a meta level, that agency is also passed to us, as the audience, at the end. we’ve been through this whole journey with eiffel, and now he’s released from the grip of the narrative, so are we - we’re free to make our choices about what happens now. which ties it all in nicely, i think
