[closed starter for @runes-menagerie.]

 It had already been a busy day. He’d recorded a lecture, pressed the tin plate to copy it for his archives, run several stacks of paper work from office to office, gotten stalled by at least three professors trying to cover for their students’ late assignments, and fetched the dean of the academy’s poro from its grooming appointment. All that on top of his usual classes.

 He was exhausted, but he had to keep working.

 Now he was assisting Professor Heimerdinger in welcoming the latest students to their freshly renovated west wing, which handled general scientific education. He stood more heavily against is cane, his leg giving him those numb shocks it liked to when it was running on fumes. Just a little longer, he told himself.

 Oh, but the professor was going on and on. He sounded like he could be talking for hours about the luxuries and advancements in education they had afforded to them, and how past generations of students had all come and shared the same experience. At least he didn’t have to do the talking. He had horrid stage fright. He let out a little sigh and looked sidelong, letting his eyes graze over the crowd of faces.

 “Alright, Viktor!” Heimerdinger said with a clap. “Hand out all these academy maps to our newest wave of geniuses!” Before he could say a word, a stack of thick, printed maps was shoved into his free arm. “I’m off to the Council for a meeting!” Heimerdinger said with a wave as he trotted off, his poro following close behind.

 He saw the crowd approaching him and froze up like a statue. This was dangerously close to public speaking. Just enough to set off his nerves. He didn’t have a free hand to pass the maps out, so he just stood there like a glorified shelf, watching each one of their faces as they came and took a slip off the stack. “E-ehh… Welcome,” he would say occasionally if they stared at him for long enough. It was all so agonizingly awkward.

 He hadn’t seen her yet – not past the crowds. She would have to come up to him for a map, to get his attention.

Book 5, chapter 53 - Appreciating Heights

Here’s more style/color studies. 🥀

This is Evangeline, Equinox’s Mom. She died when he was about 11. Despite that, she has a lot of impact on the plot.

She was the Chosen Hero of the Fates, Champion of the Arena, Savior of Gowoa, Seer of the West, and Queen of Gowoa.

One of the major things about her is her ability to see the future. As a result, many of her decisions were made in a calculated effort to steer things in a particular direction.

I was studying for my assignments when I turned the page and got a sweet surprise. I had collected these rose petals in November at the farmhouse and completely forgot about them (which means yes I have only now opened the textbook since november :|)

Th sun sets with its light shining through this window just in winter, so I captured a little aesthetic photo 💗🥀🎀

Part 36 - College AU Jack's role in this was very much inspired by that movie with Ryan Reynolds (was it him?) Where he just never wanted the party to stop so he refused to graduate and was getting way too old to be a Uni student anymore. Can't think of the title... but yeah. He's a professional student lets say lol.

The Grey was thick in the air, today. It was so thick that people had dawned their fabric masks to wade through its toxic fog. He had his own, made from the scrap fabric of his mother's old shawl. It was noticeably frayed and worn, but everything was repurposed in the Undercity. When they had so little in the first place, they had to make do with what they already possessed.

The fabric did little for him as he limped through the alleyway. He braced hard against his weathered and rickety old cane, created from a petrified branch of oak his mother had found in the River Pilt. Again, everything was repurposed in the Undercity. He had to take slow, careful steps. The Grey left a film of oily condensation on every surface, including the already uneven cobblestone ground. It was slow, annoying, and painful to walk across it. Cane, bad leg, good leg. Cane, bad leg, good leg. Cane, bad leg, good l--

The 'bad leg' on his right side gave in as his foot found a particularly slippery spot, and he was falling. He let out a yelp and tried to brace himself for the fall, which only lead to him grinding his knee and both palms against the rough stone. His cane clattered to the side, rolling away and knocking against the wall of the alley. Messy brown hair fell in pieces in front of his face, and he had to pull his mask off to get a deeper breath after hissing all his air out from pain. Bad idea. The toxic air clouded his lungs, and he fell into a coughing fit.

How pathetic he must have looked, clutching a skinned knee with bloody palms while hacking up the putrid air the Lanes had to offer him. Once he caught his breath, he shook his head. "<Always my luck. Janna be praised...>" he groaned out in his mothertongue sarcastically as he examined the damage. He was bleeding, that was for sure, but the wound itself would probably be easily healed by a potion. If only he could possibly afford one.

Without a potion, he'd have to make due with trying to clean it. The Grey could leave a bad infection if a wound was left exposed to it for too long. He looked at his mask, then at his leg. Would he have to bandage himself with the only protection for his lungs? One protection sacrificed for another, and all because he couldn't keep his damn balance.

Frustrated, he smacked his injured knee, immediately regretting it and covering it with both hands as he hissed out in pain again. His only luck was that he was alone, and no one could see him being so foolish.

woke up really early in the morning and I'm drawing...I get really sentimental at dawn, allow me to just drabble away...

In my opinion, the character Kamiki is one of two extremes:

Either he is extraordinarily evil, or he is extraordinarily kind...

Looking at the story, Ai was protecting that person by risking everything—her own happiness (she wanted to be with this person forever), even putting her career in danger. She took everything upon herself, saying she couldn't give up because those children were hers with that person, and she decided to raise them.

In that case, it’s the latter. No, it really has to be the latter because I’m not bad at psychological analysis, you know? At least up to the point when they broke up, that really was his personality. I thought, "Huh? What is this?" and after that, I really watched closely, and I even managed to predict what he's actually done. I DID THAT.

I’ve never been a mother, but from a mother’s perspective, there’s this natural instinct to protect and care for one’s children, right? Especially if there’s affection for them. I'm not all about maternal love is absolute, or something like that, what I'm coming from is that, if you have children, unless you're a really terrible parent, you want good things for them and YOU are the one that shields them from harm, and watch over them and all... You get these sorts of feeling when you look at little kids who aren't your own as well, if they ARE your own, I feel like that protective, loving affection would only increase.

But Ai asked her CHILDREN a favor to help their dad. This means... her feelings for her boyfriend were as powerful compared to her feelings as a mother, you know? The fact that she, as a mother, is counting on her children to aid him... it means it was a very strong desire, something she deeply wished for. It even...I don't think it's the perfect word but overwrites? makes her set aside her feelings as a mother if it means she can help the guy. She loves him so much. THAT MUCH. He's really someone she loves and wants to tend to. She couldn't give up on him... It also means that she trusts him that much as well because why make her own kids get close to someone who can be dangerous?

Given this, I think it’s not just highly likely, but practically certain that Ai’s boyfriend was an exceptionally good person.

For someone to evoke such deep feelings in Ai, they can’t be ordinary. Ai had a strong distrust of people, you know. She was very wary.

Kamiki... there’s something about him... When he talks, it feels like he’s accommodating others to an excessive degree, suppressing his own emotions and enduring while being considerate of others. That’s what I sensed.

Just like Ai had her own pent-up frustrations but still smiled, this character seems to be doing the same thing. He has no inner monologue when he appears in the present, so it’s hard to fully grasp his thoughts, but he must be in pain. If you look at the flashbacks, it’s clear he used to be, but like Ai, he doesn’t show it on the surface, which leads to misunderstandings.

After hearing his voice, I’m even more convinced;

This person seems like an exceptionally good person. Could he really be capable of doing something bad? I get the feeling he’s exactly the kind of person Ai would choose... Ai truly risked everything for him. She gave all her heart to this one person and I feel THAT'S why she was happy about having their children as well.

I believe this character would absolutely do the same for Ai and their children. I’m pretty sure I’m right. I keep looking at him, and the way he acts is very sweet. He doesn't have to be that way, but that behavior is consistent... this really gets to me, it's so contradictory to the accusations he's been faced so I end up talking about a lot because I keep seeing things. Is this guy REALLY evil? I guess it'll be sorted out soon but I'd even go as far as to say that he could have really done.. nothing so wrong... anyhow Ai really loves him. That's really endearing... and if he's what I think he is, he really is someone who can deserve that.. everything clicks to me if he is!!!! I won't have a clue on what's up with all this if he isn't!!

It's a bit late to say this, but my favorite type is "someone whose heart is so generous that they sometimes suffer losses, but they accept it with a broad understanding."

It’s not about a specific character; that’s just the kind of person I consider my ideal type...

I sometimes wonder, "Am I reading the character this way because I want them to be like that?" But honestly, I didn’t really have any thoughts like that until I read chapters 152-154.

I can recognize characters like this when I see them. I’m serious... because I always have them as my favs. (I'm still being really cautious regarding this guy but I see signs of him being this way)

I understand why Ai liked this character so much if that's the case then. It’s because such a person is incredibly rare and a gift to the world...You want to protect these types of people, preserve them, and help them out. I feel like that's what she wanted to do for him.

At this point, I want to think "Whatever happens, happens." I really need to stop thinking so much about this subject, it's a comic and it's all about having fun, but..

That character, in my opinion, is one of two things:

Either they’re a psychopath who's been acting all along, or they’re a total pushover, someone with an unusually high threshold for anger, drowning in self-doubt, who keeps enduring without being able to express their rage.

Both are extreme to the point of being inhuman, but I think it’s the latter. I really believe it’s the latter...

and it's stressful seeing that kind of person being misunderstood if he is you know!! I think this is it though!! Because Ai wants to protect him with all her might and I get that if he's really like this!!
