"Fearne...are You With Me?"

Caleb & Essek in The Mighty Nein Reunited

Thinking about the shadowgast crumbs we got in the Lucien boom. And how Essek was holding Caleb’s body. So he was literally guarding Caleb until Jester killed Lucien and her and Cad came over to revivify him.

What’s very “fun” to think about it based on the in game combat and combining the new info we got, this is how that scene went down:

First Essek gets pulled away from his original position by Caleb due to Elatus. Then Caleb gets impaled like 3 times in front of him and tossed aside. He then would have to have run back or floated back to get to Caleb as the book says since he was pulled away by like 15ft(?)And then be holding onto Caleb’s body so the city didn’t consume him until Jester deals the killing blow and was waiting for the healers to come and help.

So….if Yasha had to literally rip the city away from Veth cuz Veth was prone on the ground and it was gonna swallow her, we could feasibly say either Essek did the same and just kept ripping away the city until it died.

Or! Essek was holding Caleb in his arms bridal style to keep him off of the ground.

Just wanted to try drawing some of the Bells hells in my style as I’m finally. Finally catching up

been thinking about the past 7 episodes of critrole a ton (and also thinking abt beau)

yesterday i saw a linda friesen gown that made me black out for a sec, and afterwards i decided that i must draw essek wearing something inspired by it. i MUST. otherwise god will float down from her perch in the clouds and slap me in the face

the gown in question is this absolutely Spectacular thing that everyone needs to see. i modified it a bit, in particular to make it less of a dress and more Essek's Body Obscuring Robes™, and incorporated them split sleeves. which is a thing that i do

this also counts as another instalment of my essek of the week series. it still exists. life just happens to me way too often

reading books together all night long

endless possibility 🔮

happy valentine's day, friends! 💜

a week or so ago i ran a bunch of polls on what kind of shadowgast picture i should draw for v-day, and y'all have helped me build something really fun! especially with the three winners of the color poll (purple, teal, and orange!). i don't know how much of a 'regular shadowgast' this picture has turned out to be (regular shadowgast are probably studying ancient tomes in a dusty library as we speak), but let's say that i am giving you the plot bunny gift of figuring out the setting of this scene 😏

tip jar!

day 1 at the communal puzzle club: i see a puzzle with a sign next to it that says "please help with our communal puzzle" and i say to myself "don't mind if I do" and did the whole thing

you find me on the floor sobbing about them cause they mean so much to me
