Chapters: 1/30 Rating: Explicit Relationships: Jade Curtiss/Dist the Reaper
Dist has been rotting in a jail cell in Grand Chokmah for the better part of two months when Peony visits, informing him of Jade’s plan to provide energy for Auldrant after the halting of the Planet Storm. He soon finds himself embroiled in a quest he never expected: hunting down the six other aggregate sentiences alongside Jade in the hopes of securing their blessing. Between the sentiences, Order assassination attempts, and Jade himself, Dist isn’t sure he’ll survive—but he is nothing if not tenacious, and he has no intentions of dying any time soon. ——— Dist is aghast. “It was a source of unlimited energy. It was our only source of energy.”
“Okay, and it was causing poison to come out of the ground. I cared more about the imminent end of the world and the immediate deaths of thousands of people than energy,” Peony says, his voice losing its light tone. “That’s why there’s a crisis presently. Now I can afford to worry about energy, since the world isn’t ending.” He raises his eyebrows. “Rather, now you can afford to worry about energy, Dr. Gneiss.”

jennifer morrison (emma swan from ouat) has released a video for 2024newvoices, an account that hides under calling out antisemitism but upon checking, it's a zionist/pro-israel account
Thank you so much for letting me know! Who do they think they're kidding honestly I have no words - looking at the people they follow and the stand with Isr*el shirts people are wearing? 99.99% of the people are known zionists but I'll be tagging them and the other notable people I found on the page so I can be double sure to no longer suggest and avoid them.

"I thought I could never have another love in my life," [Anita] continues. "I really thought, 'That's it.' I'm jaded. Where can you go after you've been in love with Keith Richards? What else is there?"

Here's the next Post-Epilogue design for Jade! I struggled a lot with this one because a lot of his design has specific purpose so I was weighing function against aesthetic and had to make some trade offs. Anyways, the small satchel and wrist contraption is a prototype for strengthening fonic artes.
More details under the cut. !Lots of Spoilers as well under cut!
-So firstly, I fully believe Jade would return to his research on Fomicry and lead the medical movement for replicas and replica health as he had mentioned in-game. I like to imagine that he goes by Jade Curtiss-Balfour as it's just easier than being called two different Family Names (as he's more well known in the research circles as Balfour).
-In the post-Epilogue world with the Planet Storm stopped, the concentration of fonons have dramatically decreased so I imagine spellcasters like Jade would find their fonic artes significantly weakened and perhaps some higher level artes can no longer be activated in normal circumstances. So to supplement the lack of fonons, the prototype uses concentrated fonic crystals (manufactured by fontech machines) that can be consumed during casting. For most efficient usage, the crystals can be absorbed into the body via contamination so it doesn't dissipate into the atmosphere.
-It's a bit hard to see, but Jade has half-glasses and one eye is darker because he's dispelled the fonic eyes on one of them. My understanding of the fonic artes is that it opens the fon slots in the eyes beyond normal circumstances to absorb more fonons in the air. With the lower concentration of fonons post-Epilogue, I figured that in desperate situations, the fonic eyes might overstrain themselves to try and draw in fonons (which increases the risk of going blind) and it happens to Jade once and he decided to cut his losses by removing it/disabling in one of his eyes and keeping the other one as a last resort (even if it may result in sacrificing sight in one eye)
-His turtleneck sweater is an homage to Professor Nebilim. The quilted coat is partially based on his young design. I had really wanted to keep his military boots in the design in the same colour scheme but having them all blue-teal made it really hard to colour coordinated the rest of his outfit so I changed it to grey. I wanted him to be able to switch between 'Doctor Balfour' and 'Colonel Curtiss' mode very quickly.
-I'm not too familiar with military ranks but I really hope that Jade tried to resign from the military so he could focus on his research (he can't do both jobs full time) but Peony wouldn't let him so he either demoted him or gave him a sideways promotion into a non-commanding officer role. It works out for Jade in the best way because he can take advantage of his military resources and access to help his research.
-His main research base is in Keterburg hence his winter-oriented outfit but he frequently travels to Belkend to collaborate on research and projects. He will sometimes help with theory behind new fontech and also deciphering old Dawn Age technical manuals (which were released in small batches from the forbidden archives in Daath).
-End of the day, Jade becomes super well known because of his knowledge and expertise that eclipses his former research and Necromancer title from his military days which makes him more approachable for marriage meeting requests plus he's more personable now after his travels and friendship with the party

Balfour gave something of an overdone nod of the head, a smile on his face at her words. Like he knew exactly how this story went. He did, of course. It would go like clockwork. Less than an hour and the Doctor would be knee-deep in trouble, and likely so would she. This would be entertaining until the exact second that it wasn't anymore, and then it would probably be his worst day of the year. He wasn't quite so jaded yet for it to ruin his entire day until then.
"Alright, then." He was still stood there, clinging on to some vague semblance of professionalism. He didn't suit UNIT, its regimented and rigid ways - he was a bad soldier. But he was Sutherland, so he at least had to make some pretended effort, didn't he? He clasped his hands behind his back, stood straight. "What's a good reason, exactly? You and the Doctor must have some idea of why you're here."
"i didn't say easy day." she said that trouble happens. trouble happens, and she'd say that likely six out of ten times, it finds them, or they find it. those other four times are really, really lovely. the danger times are lovely too.
"no. i'm not promising anything. that would make me an idiot." she crosses one ankle over the other. "i'll sit until i have a good reason to run off."

Finishing up another playthrough of Tales of the Abyss, and this time I wanted to actually do some fanart for it. Jade is my favorite, and particularly relatable now that I am also Old.
[Image Description: Digital fanart of Jade Curtiss casting a fonic arte, set against a dark background. His back is slightly towards the viewer, but he is turning with his right hand outstretched, a fonic glyph glowing white in front of it. Its light is caught in his glasses and he is smirking over his shoulder. /end ID]

"And I'm just getting started let me offend,
The devil's got nothing on me my friend,
All I want is to be left alone,
Tact from me is like blood from a stone"
Listening to Beekeeper by Keaton Henson just reminded me of everyone's favourite Colonel (sorry Mustang)
(if anyone has any digital art advice/tips/hints hit me up, I am struggling)
REFERENCE - Jade Curtiss status image, Character select screen, Tales of VS
