#so i suppose in samadhi fire!red son's case it would just be a much angstier and bumpier road to get there

opinions on samati fire!red son? (and mayhaps a drawing? for the poor tumblr user? i really really love your art)

woah hey i'm half a year late to checking my inbox!! sorry about that! i never thought about it till now, it would be super interesting to see how the story would've gone if he had kept the samadhi fire instead of it being split into the rings (if that's what you mean).

I imagine if he kept it since he was a child, it could be like an Elsa frozen situation lmao. Maybe when they lose DBK, PIF takes a sudden turn to see Red Son's uncontrollable power as useful... maybe she gets him trained and he's able to somewhat manage it as an adult but yknow. Red Son + dangerous destructive powers = leaky pipe that's gonna crack under its own weight at any minute.

anyways here is a samadhi fire red son design i cobbled together. his outfit is perpetually in a state of trying to look put together, but his inability to control samadhi fire means it keeps getting messed up anyways

i'm a sucker for characters where you can visibly see the weight and damage their own powers bring on them. if rs was trained by pif especially before they got dbk back... i don't think she would actively want him to get hurt but rather his safety is just the very last thing on her mind. it's more waved off like, "he can handle it, we have to focus on getting my husband back" kind of thing. he would internalize that and use the samadhi fire in a way that actively erodes his body.
