There’s something so important about Gillion - who never heals himself, who rushes into danger, who hides his wounds- facing death and realizing he isn’t unafraid as he was raised to be. He uses his magic on himself to help with the exhaustion, to keep his life intact. And still he tries to comfort Jay and Chip while he’s coherent, being realistic about his chances but refusing to make it painful. Wanting their possible last moments to be light, to be about seemingly inconsequential things, small favorites that still mean the world to him purely because they’re Chip and Jay’s favorites. And then when all is said and done, he makes a raccoon for Jay. He talks about raspberries for Chip. He uses his last saved up arcane energy to try desperately to stay awake, and it works, and it saves him in the final hour.
It’s just. There’s something about how he hasn’t had a chance to rest since the Feywild, really, truly rest. How this whole time he’s been down on himself and taking extreme risks. And now, at what might be the end of it all, he realizes he doesn’t want to die. He wants to live. And not to be able to save others, not to fulfill his destiny, not out of obligation to anyone else - but purely for himself. For all the little things. And though it’s not quite healing in the literal term, his nearly final act was spent trying to save himself - and it worked.

Went out to lunch with Jaida,
5 minutes into it and after our drink orders, she almost put two guys into a chokehold. 😅😅
I mean they 100% deserved it but I’m still cracking up.

Witnessing a fandom space on the sidelines where people are truly acting like they're on crack over fictional people is really something to behold.

gluing your horror to the insides of my eyelids it’s so genuinely striking and unsettling in the best ways. curious if you drew inspiration from anything for the horror elements or if this was straight from the mind of rhombus?
The general concept has been on my mind for a while and probably isnt going anywhere, uuuhh idk that the idea came from anything other than "Junkos bodyparts are still her, what could that mean"
