first time meeting neighbor nanami kento in the elevator. both reaching to press the button for the 5th floor. your movements freezing as your hands touch in the air. an awkward “sorry” coming from both sides. “let me”, he presses the button. “thanks”, you put your hand back on your bag handle, slightly bowing your head, hoping it’s enough to hide your flushed cheeks.

you glance at his reflection on the elevator door. he’s looking at you. “new around?”, he asks, voice quiet and monotone. “yes”, you reply, “just recently moved”

“it’s a quiet neighborhood, hope it’s to your liking”

you nod with a barely audible “mhm”.

the elevator stops. the doors open. “please”, he takes a small step back, “after you” — inviting you to go first both with words and body.

“thanks”, you say as you step out but “what a man” you think in your head, your heartbeat slightly speeding up — you might just be tiny bit charmed by this blond man.

“well”, you stop in front of your apartment door, “it was nice meetin—”, you fail to finish as he stops in front of the next door and looks at you, “oh?” — it’s barely noticeable but his eyes slightly widen — “we’re next-door neighbors” — and then quickly go back to normal.

“seems so”, you confirm with a smile.

each encounter with him in the apartment building would lead to slower walks down the corridor and more dragged-out conversations in front of your doorsteps, on purpose — just so you can steal a little bit more time together here and there, neither of you aware of the mutual crushing nor brave enough to invite the other in — it might seem too pushy and inappropriate — you both would think.

your eyes would search for each other every day going in and out of the building. sometimes you’d find him waiting in front of the elevator, even though the hall indicator would show it’s already on the 1st floor. and other times it’s you who’d do the waiting.

after a while you both become well aware of each other’s schedules and thus the “accidental” hallway meetings become a stable part of your day.

but when you don’t see him around this evening you find it a bit unusual. maybe he got held back at work, you think.

he didn’t.

he’s waiting. leaning against the wall next to your apartment door, with a bottle of red wine and two glasses — he’s waiting. for you.

and little did you know — you would leave together the next morning.

do any of you ever lay awake at night thinking about how Kremy gifted Gideon a comb even though, obviously, lizardfolk don't have any hair.

because that means that Kremy went out of his way to get Gid this gift. A comb isn't just something an alligator would have or just collect somewhere to have it for later, Kremy likely never needed or thought of having anything of the sort.

But Kremy noticed how roughed up Gideon was, how he didn't have anything on him to take care of himself and Kremy came up with the idea and then spent time and possibly money (or he just swiped it but still) to find a nice comb just for Gideon and then gave it to him.

Nikkie described it so beautifully that it was the first time someone saw Gideom as his own man and that also makes my heart ache so much. But I just can't stop thinking about how freaking Kremy Lecroux, went out of his way, to get a thing he likely never even thought of getting, just to give it to his partner (in crime). Like yeah sure we can talk about how Kremy wouldn't want to travel with someone unkept but I don't think it's that. He'd get Gideom a bath and a haircut or something at an inn and done, issue solved. But no, Kremy specifically wanted to get a thing for Gideon, he wanted him to have something that's just for him, something to help him get his sense of self back, his looks and help him find his confidence.

It was thoughtful gift from Kremy who probably is the last person to do thoughtful gifts to just some people. But he made that gesture for Gideon.

like do you ever just lay there and think about all that and how they both must have felt almost an instant bond forming between them, doesn't matter if it's platonic or romantic, like do you just-- yeah.

the blue and red blanket Jayce wraps around Viktor is symbolic of the humanity he's still holding onto...

and also their love for each other

he keeps it throughout his entire season arc, and through his "gLoRioUs evolution" process you see it starts to cover less and less of him the further he strays:

the first time we see it, its completely draped over almost his entire body, only barely showing his hands, feet and head

in the next scene we see him, his head is covered, but more of his feet and arms are showing through

he loses the hood being in his lil cult after a while, the way the rest of it is pinned up reveals more of his body; his legs and entire arms, and the sides of his torso are showing as well

when Jayce finds him, its now only covering half of his body, but still holding on even after being blasted through the chest with a Kamehameha

with the Herald form, aka the furthest thing we see from the Viktor we know, the blanket only has a tattered idea of it wrapped around him, just covering his shoulders, even the neck of it looks slightly ripped or torn. its almost completely gone, the blanket that once covered his whole body is basically just two strands of fabric now:

but it still manages to incorporate itself into his astral form as well, because though it feels more Herald than Viktor now, he's not completely gone yet, Viktor is still in there. he still had a small shred of humanity left to him, a small shred of that blanket.

and THATS why and how Jayce is able to bring him back to himself... with a hug no less, which is something inherently human in nature,, as well as just being Jayce's way of expressing love throughout the whole show (x). and Viktor's humanity is still there- weak, but not completely gone yet. notice how once the image of the Herald is cracked and diminished, Viktor's form is still completely made up of blues and reds. even now, while not visually being draped on him, the blanket still incorporates its way through color

the mask is metaphorically AND literally shielding Viktor from himself, but finally he's able to slip through once the mask cracks, and we see the real Viktor behind the Herald. and only here is Jayce able to break through and show Viktor his mistakes and make him realize the things he's done. likely this wouldn't be possible had Viktor been completely gone.

and in the end, what colors are they bathed in together?

blue and red

also sky represented that humanity on the inside while he was still Viktor too, which is why in the astral form, theres no blanket, he's just Viktor in there for the majority. but she's always with him, and once Singed transforms him and takes that away, the Herald's blanket(?) cape(?) is show in the astral plane now that Viktor's inner self and Sky's projection link are not [completely] there anymore🫠👍🏻

you can also think of it as- his most ideal body and form is with the goal of inhumanity, thus the more he loses of what actually makes him human directly influences what of his body he perceives to be perfect and therefore proud to show to the world

the blanket being the figurative idea of humanity and its literal idea of how much outwardly shown in his physical design:

him covering himself up near the beginning, still mainly the human Viktor we know, but his body is flawed in his eyes, and the blanket is huge and encompassing, covering him up

and in the end, its almost completely showing off and revealing his form that, in his eyes, is almost perfect and ideal, the blanket now a mere ghost of what it once was, only a small part of him covered by it because while he is more Herald than Viktor, he is still in there and able to be saved

I'm a little behind in my shipments because I've been getting so little sleep + waiting for my shipping material restock to come in (but they came today) I'll be shipping every current order tomorrow when I've had some sleep, thank you for the patience if you've been waiting this week!

​I’m thinking again about Astarions sexuality and how I've seen some people (to be fair, just a few) talk about it. Mainly, people pointing out his flamboyant behavior, and that us as players are learning more about his past male lovers than female ones and basically all these things for some people pointing to him being gay or at least not interested in women in the same way he is in men. And him only being a romance option regardless of gender, because, well, all companions are and he is therefore just "playersexual", only showing interest in female player characters because he has to, because of the game mechanics.

I think what really rubs me the wrong way about this topic is that it echoes the kind of things bi/pan people (speaking as a bisexual woman myself) find themselves dealing with irl. Whether through some form of internalized biphobia or from the outside through other people's comments. Of course this is about a fictional character so it’s not like he has any feelings that could be hurt. But when i see people tallying up how often he mentions men vs. how often he mentions women it really reminds me of a way of thinking I sometimes fall into in regards to my own sexuality. This is definitely just an internalized response and not something I actually believe when I truly think about it for a second, but I know these patterns of thought very well. Of observing my own behavior. How often do I find which gender attractive? Am I attracted "enough" to women? Do I talk about men's attractiveness too often? Is it the other way around? Am I only saying this woman is attractive to prove something to myself? I literally have a girlfriend and my attitude towards mine or other's sexual orientation is generally a huge big "whatever, I don't care". And I still have a passing thought like that from time to time.

So seeing people talk about a fictional character in this way really sends home how many people (whether consciously or unconsciously) see attraction as some sort of equation, you can solve, where in the end you get a result of either gay or straight.
