Does Toby know about the past of Jack (how he got sacrificed etc.) and if yes how did he react when he found out?

toby knows of it vaguely... jack has never sat and been like 'well it all started when...' but if toby asks why his eyes are full of tar, he'll just be like 'cuz they filled my sockets with tar.' or if toby asks why he has those marks on his cheeks, jack'll just say 'cuz they hooked my mouth open' and tobys always like Oh.....ok.... and he'll try to pry more and jacks like 'ok u can stop' and then its just awkward. LMFAOOO. jack just never wants to fully retell the story in detail, but he can make conversation of it after a few years. so long as toby's reacting appropriately.

toby just gets kinda freaked out. sure, his dad put him through hell and he's seen awful stuff, but the torture jack went through in that single night . . . and the betrayal too . . . at least all the people who fucked toby over fucked him over from the start. its one of those things he'd dwell on for a few days cuz jacks his friend and its weird imagining jack strapped down screaming in agony as his eyes r scooped out and he's force fed human meat. tobys never went through something like that, nor has he put someone through that.

it'd make toby rethink a lot of how he treats jack, too. he's said a lot of unfair bullshit to jack, made wrong assumptions, etc. he hears about jacks youth and automatically assumes jack never truly went through anything half as bad as himself. then he realizes he should stfu

I've been enjoying @kursed-curtain's whiteboard a lot! I love doing these little community collabs, cause it helps me see everyone's absolutely adorable art and it helps w/ the challenge of working w/ a limited palette.

Anyway, here's some of my contributions (and faves)

Marketable plush corner (w/ reactions of course and a tiny timmy admiring his own markertable plush) AND A LITTLE AMELIA MARKETABLE PLUSH THAT'S SO CUTE!

I ended up being a bit selfish and requesting more fan art of amiller. I apologize for being a bit bratty about this ;-;

And a small art trade from our mysterious Liam and Lin artist. Not really an HH fan due to its... humor but I like how they designed amiller a lot!

And my contributions to the CCC gang! C'mon you know you want a soda from my man Timmy XD

also on the far right i've started my own "draw this character in your style" challenge here and it's a bit late, i know but hey, look, listen, hey hey hey hey he-

on the one hand i understand the impulse to give the mimihagi statue this metallic texture -- even though though the original art seemed pretty clearly wooden-- the large bronze(?) statue evoke a more impressive presence, especially in the dark of a temple interior. But the wooden one gave off a much more distinct vibe of the Nio statues (particularly the ones at Todaiji in Nara) that come in a pair guarding the left and right side of major temple gates. The most famous ones are specifically lacquered wood rather than stone or metal, and also share mimihagi's hagoromo, halo-like celestial scarf.

hiiiiiii desmond question: what got her into chess and why does she like it sm <3

OH THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE I HAVE A BIT OF AN ANSWER FOR IT ACTUALLY.

I thought about it some time ago and some details are muddy, but the short story is that Desmond was turned by her sire somewhere during the 1970s when she was studying the at-the-time equivalent of Computer Science in university (which university in which state is to be decided, as her backstory isn't precise to me just yet).

Desmond had, ever since she was small, an obsession with mathematics, and when the frontier of computer science was open to students she was ecstatic to become a scholar. At the time it was referred to generally as studies in automation, computing, and development of information theories as well as the creation of models of computations. I'm far from an expert on the subject but essentially she was very very fascinated by the idea of applying algebra, algorithms and mathematics to the fields of probability which would become some of the basis for computer automation, as well as hardware and software developments.

Chess was a natural passion for her because it also relies heavily on calculating probabilities and to some extent playing chess is like trying to figure out your opponent's "algorithm", she would say. I think this may as well be because in her program she was obsessed with trying to come up with computers that're unbeatable at chess - her experiments weren't always successful but it was something she was passionate about. She herself loved to play chess on her own, and her enjoyment of the game picked up even more when she tested her programs more often than not!

This would more or less explain a lot of the reason behind why she was turned and specifically why Tremere - while Tremere in general are seen as blood sorcerers, they tend to be very calculative which Desmond at all effects is to a hilariously literal degree. For her, everything can be a mathematical equation, if she tried hard enough to figure out which ones. Her interactions with others often come across as extremely curated, almost like she's playing chess in real time with her conversation partners in her mind, trying to find the best way to catch them off guard and "checkmate" them. The details behind her own embrace and her sire are (for now) very irrelevant I think, so it's not necessary to delve deep into it, but more or less this is why she's such a big chess girl.

And yes even in her unlife, in the 2000s, she is extremely passionate about computers and their development: she didn't lose practice when it comes to programming algorithms at all, either.

Her passion for mathematics is also kind of her biggest flaw, though, because Desmond cannot improvise. She works with a strict set of rules every time, and if anything ever so tiny goes wrong, her whole plan is ruined. She cannot handle surprises or distractions and tends to get frustrated quickly when she cannot resolve the imbalance in an instant (which is why she was attracted to Madonna and sired her, as Madonna is the complete opposite on the same spectrum - working in the medical field also has a set of rules, but expects you to be more flexible to handle things that go wrong out of nowhere).

I rambled again . BUT THANKS FOR ASKING ABOUT DESMOND. SHE IS TRULY THE SCHEMIEST OF SCHEMERS... I love that about her a lot i think. We talk about mad scientist tremeres but we need more mad fixated mathematicians tremeres imo (esp women thanks

I didn't realize it was hourly comic day until I saw other ppl posting so here is my extremely uncoordinated day too

I feel like gege already spoiled the ending with that Sukuna and Yuji artwork (the one with Mahoraga wheel behind sukuna). I think it meant sukuna will adapt to Yuji, meaning Yuji can bring him out to help him like Yuta can do so with Rika

I think Sukuna will accept whatever Yuji wants to show him by now, since he lost, yuji can do whatever he wants with him. Yuta used a ring though, I wonder which object would Yuji use? Or maybe he can bring him out whenever he wants

Also is it me or is Sukuna's mask bleeding in that artwork? Or maybe it's the shadows. We didn't even get Sukuna and Uraume meeting at some airport either and their ending looked weird so I doubt that's the last we saw of Sukuna

hello, anon. i'm so sorry for the late reply. i always start answering my asks and then keep adding onto them until it takes far longer than it should to finish, so i will keep this short.

i think sukuna and yuuji can be somewhat like rika and yuta if sukuna changes more. sukuna rejecting yuuji is him refusing to be anything other than his inhuman nature, but if he lives inside of yuuji for long enough, i think that his ideals would definitely start falling apart overtime. between sukuna and yuuji being portrayed as yin and yang and mahoraga's wheel representing perfect cycles and enlightenment, the symbolism definitely suggests that coexistence is not only possible for these two but also inevitable.

sukuna losing is something he never planned for, and something he never thought would happen, so he probably has no defenses left at all. yuuji could force him into living together, but so far yuuji has been letting sukuna make those choices for himself. as much as it would be in character for yuuji to not give up, i also think he's respecting sukuna's choices more. so there's a small possibility that sukuna will be the one to make the choice to come back, but it would definitely mean going against his nature.

(i think yuuji would use his body tbh. he was created to be the vessel of sukuna so he's most perfectly suited to holding sukuna inside of him. plus, it's familiar to both of them and i'm willing to bet sukuna actually misses being one with yuuji. simpler times.)

the ending is weird, i agree. it could be that gege was too rushed or that sukuna doesn't deserve some kind of airport afterlife scene, but it looks suspiciously open to interpretation. i'm expecting a twist of some kind.

and sukuna's mask could be bleeding in that art but it's hard for me to tell. i think you're onto something though.

thank you so much for your ask, anon <3 it's always lovely when other people bring their thoughts to me, and i'm sorry i'm not timely enough with my replies. hope you've been taking care! when the new chapters come out, i hope they'll be worth the wait for you ฅ^>ヮ<^₎
