I've seen the headcanon that Lucanis' mother, Caterina's perfect heir, was actually similar to Illario in some ways. That she was calculating, ruthless, ambitious, obedient... all the things Caterina overlooks in Illario because Caterina sees her favourite daughter's deep brown eyes and quiet, controlled demeanor and careful planning in Lucanis.

But I am also attached to the idea that the opposite is true too. That Illario's mother shared similarities with Lucanis; that she was empathetic and stubborn, with a slight rebellious streak. But she was always outgoing and charming, was more impulsive with her emotions, and was always sharper with her tongue than with a sword, so Caterina only sees her in Illario.

I just love the idea that Caterina can't look beyond the surface and see who her grandsons really are because on some level she can't see past the ghosts reflected in their eyes. She can't see that the quiet brown eyed boy is is more of the gentle hearted rebel, and the one with blue eyes and a shining, fake smile is the ruthless leader who would do anything she asked.

I feel like legolas is the kind of elf that, while he absolutely can take the reins of a situation and lead people, is also absolutely chill with being the second in command. Unless it’s needed or the one in charge is gonna do smth stupid, he’s fine letting other people deligate tasks and make decisions and such.

Legolas walks the fine line between being more of a solo act and being a team player

And you can see this pretty clearly in lotr too, like he lets Gandalf and Aragorn take the lead for the most part bc he knows this isn’t his area of expertise, but we also see his initiative and confidence when he volunteers himself for the quest instead of letting someone else take part (like glorfindel).

It’s also really important to me that legolas is someone who follows orders because he chooses to follow orders. He doesn’t follow orders bc he has to or bc it’s what he’s supposed to do, he lets other people tell him what to do only when he trusts them/trusts their decisions/agrees with them.

Vague design for the long quiet!!! Couldn't decide if I liked it more with or without the background, so here's that.

DOODLES ALERT! I'm kinda in a weird spot between wanting to draw but also not or just feel tired? I'll be fine, maybe this year has fucked me up already /j

So...I missed Altair and Raymesis...They're sort of lot more chill and healthy ship (unlike CasRay COUGH COUGH). They do still have issues but it's more grounded and smaller scale (almost..), they're working it through together though tehe

This doodle is lil over 2 months old, I forgor it exist but it was to test water and it's kinda cute

I also drew Ales Mansay and Raymesis interaction (or..I guess in this case arguement) cuz I think Ales IS TRYING to be the BEST OF THE BEST parent for Raymesis (since maybe either Ales lying about Mr Dark or Mr Dark is just THAT busy, take your pick). But Raymesis just wants to LIVE his way, he still has the spirits to be "bad" but not enough to wanting destroy the world or actively hurt people. Ales basically tries giving him directions towards where he thinks is the best without really thinking of what RAYMESIS wants essentially. Yep, not an original idea, I'm just having fun with the concepts

AND ALSO! apparently I didn't show this??? how? I don't know but better later than never I guess

the one het ship I genuinely really enjoy in EAH is Cerise/Daring. Like I’m sorry, I know Cerise gives off queer vibes, but the cool jock girl x loser pathetic boy got me….

Is the self in the mirror my reflection, or another being entirely?

"The answer's still no," you say, immediately turning in the other direction. "I don't care how turned around this place makes me, I'm finding my way out of here."

The Guide: But---but it's right there---

Voice of the Researcher: Hey. It's not our problem.

The Guide: But it is your problem! You're the only one who can kill him!

Voice of the Researcher: We've got a choice in the matter, right?

The Guide: Wh---yes. Yes, of course you do. You always do.

Voice of the Researcher: Then we're not doing this. We're leaving.

There's a small pause. When the Guide speaks again, he sounds as if he's pleading.

The Guide: You're in the middle of a city.

Voice of the Researcher: Cities have ends.

The Guide: Right. All right. Fine. That's... that's your choice.

The Guide: You go the other way again, and... you find yourself back at the library.

The Guide: I... I don't suppose I can convince you to go in this time, right?

You shake your head. Your mind is made up.

The Guide: *sighs* All right, then.

The Guide: You continue to make your way through the winding city streets, growing more and more desperate as you attempt to find your way out. Then, strange things begin to happen.

The Guide: At first, there is a library on every other block. Then, there is a library on every single block.

The Guide: They're all tucked away between two larger buildings. You could easily miss them, but it's getting harder and harder to mistake, and harder and harder to avoid.

The Guide: The city is full of libraries. They are all identical. They are surrounding you, everywhere you turn. And they all want you to step inside.

Voice of the Researcher: *whispering* Whaaaaaat the fuuuuuuck is happening?

The Guide: *audibly pained* You've been walking for... how long? You've forgotten. I've forgotten.

The Guide: Your legs give out. You collapse onto the pavement.

The Guide: As you look up at the star-filled sky, you realize that you are tired beyond belief.

The Guide: Would it hurt to rest? Maybe you should.

Voice of the Researcher: No. No. We get up, we keep moving, we have to find our way out of here---

The Guide: I... I'm sorry. I don't think it wants you to.

The Guide: You close your eyes, and your strength leaves you. The city has claimed you, and you know that there is no leaving. Not without a price.

The Guide: You're dead, but only for now. This isn't the end.

as a person from a non-english speaking country, i thought a “deli” was a snack/ready meal selling store or part of a store. i thought it came from “delicious” or maybe even “daily”, as in daily fresh foods. googling says that a deli is actually from delicatessen????? wtf?
