My AU versions of Daryuns parents are done!

Yay, I finally figured out a design for the two!

I loved @tired-reader-writer suggesstion for Chabiks hair so much (a different hair texture)! So thank you for that! But I did struggle with Irsias entire colour scheme and Chabiks cape.

Also, a little quiz for all of you: What did Daryun get from each parent? (I wanna see if I have good character design lol)

Close ups under cut

One of my favourits is an entire fighting scene so I chose my next favourit. (It is actually two sentences)

He looked to the side and saw… white. Nothing but white. 

Writers, reblog this with your most favorite sentence you have ever written so far

I hope they keep Yasha's bone harp in the animated show. I like that she's NOT a bard and still plays music and sings anyway. I like it! Not everyone is an expert at everything, and they still sometimes do those things anyway! I hope it doesn't get cut for time and efficiency. She can play it around the campfire as they do other things, it can be a part of a multi-tasking scene if necessary.

Plus it gives Sam and Peter Habib more music writing opportunities and Ashley more chances to sing. Seeing as there's no bard in C2 that may be their best avenue into introducing music in an organic character driven fashion (If they really want to twist the knife, they can have her and Molly sing together around the campfire one night).

It's a Win Win as far as I'm concerned. Idk how much they know about harp music but they're smart and have resources and connections, I'm sure they can hire someone who knows how to write music for the harp lol. I want a hurdy gurdy involved. It should be viking-tastic. Blood upon the Snow vibes. (That's not a harp song but you know what I mean.) Let Yasha sing a beautiful and haunting badass ballad while strumming melancholically on a harp made of bone. It's what she deserves.

We always do lol! Already a great answer! I also think that he would be overjoyed at first but a seed of doubt would always linger at the back of his mind. It is the same in my AU about the wife he lost rather early.

For my AU the dead would have been "resurrected"/brought back via a rune (that will actually be used in chapter 9 if I secrafice the chapter length lol) so they are basically themselves (with feelings and all) but unkillable sorta speaks.

And Farzin AND Chabik have told Sam that his daughter might be alive might have a factor on his reaction? I have yet to flesh that out but I want to reveal all of the secrets and entire backstory (and actual reason for me even writing the AU) after the canon events.

Currently having the AU brain on point and going BUT also the Saam feels from the teeny tiny panel we got of him from the new chapter.

So, I thought, what would his reaction be if he saw his dead wife again? She would not be the same as the imposters/sorcerer puppets like Vahriz or Garshapsh. But he like doesn't notice at first?

I am having the feels and thoughts - not only about Saam but the fight between Vahriz and Daryun. Arakawa has done it again!

I'm groggy and not quite fully awake yet but wow, you sure do want Sam to suffer, don't you? (It's fine, I get it, my faves all have the worst of times as well, it's how I show my love for them.)

I feel like I probably don't have enough of a grasp on the details here to say for certain how Sam would react. I assume his wife died long ago? If she looks and behaves convincingly, and if there was any doubt surrounding her death (like he didn't get to see her body, for example) then I could see him experiencing a flicker of hope. I've talked before about my own headcanon that Sam had a wife he loved very much who died a long time ago, and if your AU has a similar background then I think seeing her again, especially in circumstances similar to those in canon where Sam has been through a lot in the last year, would make him realise how acutely lonely he's been. I think he'd be tempted to cling on to that flicker of hope that somehow, miraculously, it really is her, simply because of how badly he needs it.

However, if we look at canon right now and this is happening after his encounter with Garshasp, I think very quickly there'd be a seed of doubt. He's seen sorcery even before this, we know he's distrustful of it, he's probably primed to disbelieve the apparent return of a loved one is as wonderful as it first seems. It's possible that if it's his wife, she could get through his defences with an emotional appeal, but I do think that suspicion would be there, or would creep in very quickly even if he has an initial positive reaction (think of his joy when he met Kubard again, I imagine it something like that if only for a moment).

I'm not sure how you'd be using this plot point (like, how did his wife come back, who brought her back, is she being used for evil like Team Zahhak's puppets, is she going to stay alive/undead?). The answers to those questions would definitely affect Sam's behaviour if he learns of them.

THE POVs

[importantdestinydefendor]

Currently trying to draw the character designs of Daryuns parents and his mom came out so good???? i just loove her hair!

But I am struggling with drawing his dad Chabik. Like I want him to look similar to Daryun but also still distinct? And I just don't know how to draw his hair...

This is how he currently looks (still sketching. I have highlighted his hair for visability):

What do you guys think?

Also have this picture of my very first design of him!

“I can’t do it,” Phil answered.  His voice was weak.  “It will take me 50 years to figure this out, and another 50 for him to forgive me.  The lad won’t live long enough for me to make this happen.” “We don’t know for sure that he’s mad–” “Then why won’t he come home?”

(in the wake of sam and quackity's recent recapture attempt, philza and technoblade are seeking vengeance. dream is nowhere to be found.)
