and i made a new laika for myself. she has a maeri doll this time

[propafranduh]

I’m drawing cozy guardians while we listen to the arc seven finale. Corbin is done. If anyone has any ideas for what the guardians would wear when it’s cold I’m open to suggestions. 👉👈

Fran is being difficult but her hair is getting cuter. Falen does not want to stay in this cute lil style I’m trying out. I’ll probably add in some combination of Laika (notable flannel bitch) Maeri, Slake and/or Falen to this set.

My SO is trying to figure out what to draw Fran wearing.

Me: “That popped collar look with that hair makes her look kind of like a greaser.”

Them: “What does Fran wear?”

Me: “I mean, mages don’t wear armor, but Fran doesn’t really seem like the robes type.”

Them: “Flannel? Fran’s not a flannel bitch.”

Me: “Nah.”

Them: “Slake’s a flannel bitch. Laika’s a flannel bitch.”

Me: “Maeri is a flannel bitch but specifically in the stolen from her SO kind of way. Slake owns flannel, Laika owns flannel, Maeri WEARS flannel but has never OWNED flannel in her life.”

Them: “For Fran, leather jacket stolen from boyfriend?”

Me: “You’re not gonna get away from greaser by drawing her in a leather jacket.”

OMG IN THE LIBRARY IN THE DWARF KINGDOM FRAN FAILED A PERCEPTION CHECK TO SENSE THE EVIL FALEN. The Falen-sense doesn't work when she knows it's a fake Falen! Her uncanny ability to make impossible Falen-related observations failed her enough that he could sneak up on her!!!

Me: "The real tragedy of Evil Falen being into Fran is that he can't pull her hair to playfully flirt with her. Because her hair is water."

My SO: "...uwuh 🥺"

Me: "Well that was a noise!"

Them: "He could try 🥺"

~~~

My SO: "Don't post that, you're bullying me!"

Me: "I thought it was cute! I'm not bullying you, I'm just... metaphorically pulling your hair."

Real Falen's first impression on Fran: *stabs two people she likes, has that awkward spit interaction with Corbin, leaves without saying anything to anybody*

Other Falen's first impression on Fran: *leans over her to whisper with a sexy voice directly in her ear* "Ooh, scholarly...~"

I don’t know how old Diamond is, because all of the group swooning over him reads sort of like middle schoolers fangirling over a much older boyband member, but I DO know that if he IS age-appropriate to crush on any of the main group, he is HEAD-OVER-HEELS in deep, courtly love for Maeri. 

I mean, like. She’s canonically gorgeous, she didn’t lock eyes with him and immediately become a fawning sycophant, she’s incredibly powerful, she holds herself with grace and dignity, and she’s just genuinely good and kind and willing to try to rail against injustice and the systems that harm mortals, she’s a literal goddess but she still has a deeply human side. There’s nothing in that entire description that ISN’T bard catnip. 

Maeri is LITERALLY the stuff of songs. Maybe DIAMOND’S songs. We know that Jambo the Maskmaker knew the Survivor’s Ballad, but (as far as I know) we don’t know who wrote it. Maybe Jambo picked it up from Diamond. 

I just wanna imagine Diamond, newly-crowned champion of Dawson, getting saved by the Guardians and latching onto Maeri as his muse. He hears news of the battle, learns how she Names herself in the most dramatic and thematically appropriate way possible, and is DEVASTATED by the news that she has become trapped in the void. He prays to his benefactor, who gives Diamond a chance to save her. If he gathers all these powerful artifacts from all these dangerous places and brings them across the continent, he gets to bring her back. HE gets to be HER hero.

And then after all that work, somebody beats him to it, and his god shows up and shoos him off to the side while he bargains for his own life. 

And yeah, at least he gets to look really cool while giving the Guardians a concert, which is what he’s best at in the whole world, but Maeri doesn’t even look that impressed.

Heartbreaking.

My #1 post of 2022

With enough repeated exposure to the Guardians' concentrated attention, all antagonistic Dames and Dragons NPCs will eventually succumb to what I call the "Falen state," in which that NPC, against their better judgment, will let the Guardians steamroll their decisions.

Symptoms of the Falen State include, in chronological order:

- the urge to strangle one or more members of the party, which becomes more and more impotent until it disappears almost entirely, but may still flare up with provocation

- resigned tone of voice with flat affectation

- being unable to say no even after repeated protests

- extremely reluctant fondness for the Guardians

- unhealthy levels of devotion to the Guardians, which may result in the affected NPC uprooting their entire way of life, agreeing to help them kill gods, or helping them overthrow the government of their home nation.

NPCs who have shown symptoms of the Falen State include, but are not limited to:

- Falen

- Alden

- Orestes (He showed early signs but managed to cut contact before Stage Three)

- Strong Selni, Wolf of the Waves (She showed the most resistance, but was the single focus of the Guardians' attention for more uninterrupted time than any other NPC. She didn't stand a chance.)

The best way to avoid falling into the Falen state is to avoid contact with the Guardians, if possible. If you must be in contact with the Guardians, avoid being interesting enough to hold their attention. If you start to feel any of these symptoms while in contact with the Guardians, cease contact immediately. Those with only the early symptoms can still live full, happy, boring lives. There is no cure for the later stages of the Falen State.
