if i had a nickel for every time essek thelyss was roped into fighting a possessed version of a group’s member that he didn’t really know very well despite temporarily being a part of that group while IN AEOR, i’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

Part of a larger “dear fellow traveler” animatic I’m working on! This part is specifically for “And I know you're out there in the shadows/I know you're out there in the shadows/I know you're out there in the shadows” towards the end ;) it’s *mostly* a shadowgast animatic but cmon. The angst. I gotta

"the only unchangeable thing about all inhabitants of lucien's body is that they all flirt with caleb" may i add a second one: beau drives them up the wall (the feeling is mutual)

No matter how much this is talked about we never talk about it enough.

a silly thought experiment/au on how a traitorous shadowhand, a leashed attack dog, a desperate alchemist, and an underpaid mercenary may meet differently through a series of unfortunate circumstance and timeline fuckery

You ever just think about the tragedy of Lucien Tavelle and cry a little bit? He didn’t seek out the Somnovem intentionally; he found the book on accident and was more interested in the silly hat the original owner was wearing than it. It only became important when the girl he loved died trying to get it back for him. And by the time he knew there was something fucked up about it, it was too late.

And then he was dead. And there was no coming back from that, because the Lucien that Cree brought back was a wholly different one than the Lucien Tavelle of before. Hollowed out and cruel, with only wisps of memories of who he was before remaining.

Wanted to try something new with this comic I made ages ago. It was so much harder than I expected. If anyone has any tips or tutorials on how to make shit kinda stuff pls send them my way!

[itsjustlikefallingsnow]

its been so long and molly/lucien parallels are still everything to me. taliesin saying in the post ep26 talks machina that he wasnt even considering the ghost homebrew class because that included not having a physical form and would be depriving molly of everything he takes joy in, making that fate crueler than death and then lucien's final form being a flesh mass connected irreparably to the ground around him. it's like... he's in there. shame he's evil. but he's there

[kermit-coded]

okay okay but like. both molly and lucien function as examples of the "came back wrong" trope but in vastly different ways. from an overarching narrative standpoint, molly is the one who came back wrong. he was a fragment of lucien's soul. from the emotional point of view of the nein, and also the audience, lucien is the one who came back wrong because molly was their friend and lucien isn't molly.

[ludinusdaleth]

absolutely out of my mind obsessed. OBSESSED. with liliana always saying "he" and, even if we know it's ludinus, never saying his name and obfuscating him with predathos, these two pillars of limitless power & incredible cruelty that chain her, stronger than her, in her own words. how he needs her. how he admires & values & even in some way adores her, and maybe more. how she's pulled ludinus back from the very edge. her trying to change him, and zerxus 1000 years ago trying to change asmodeus and jester trying to change artagan and caleb trying to change essek and the m9 trying to change lucien and opal trying to change lolth, and imogen, trying to change her own mother. this cycle of desperate belief in redemption that can succeed or fail, the coin that hasnt landed on a side yet. how that's freedom for some. how that's a whip, a martinet on the back of the reformer for others. the belief in set fate vs the vanguard belief in changing destiny. generation upon generation of hope & abuse that can so easily become one or the other or both at once for eon upon eon. how the gods who created these mortals who seek any glint of kindness desperately wish, in this moment, for redemption themselves. "to reach a hand down to somebody, they need to be beneath you". but the gods are in the sky. and their saviors are on a lonely planet & lonelier moon, locked together by a cycle of violence & desperation started by them so long ago.

sketchdumpings of things i'm never going to finish probably - threeleafs, some characters i haven't really drawn before (vax, cassandra, kiri, orly), that shadowgast with the volstrucker scene, and some caleb face studies across the timeline of C2.
