I've gotta eat this pop tart fast

so I don’t fall aslee

Sometimes I think about whatever poor soul they've gotten to be the Grand Sage in Alhaitham's place. Like, I M A G I N E being in that person's shoes.

The guy you're replacing staged a full-blown revolution that overthrew your entire nation's way of life because he was concerned he might have to work overtime.

He looks like he could bench press you. He looks like he can shoot lasers with his mind.

This guy you're replacing is on first name basis with the chief of police, the head of Fish and Game, the guy who designed half your country's infrastructure, an entire band of warring desert mercenaries, a millennia-years-old dragon-fighting alien--

For that matter, this guy you're replacing is on first name basis with god.

Shit, you're even hearing rumors that he's somehow the reincarnation of King Deshret?! What will people come up with next??

And yet somehow, somehow this guy fully expects to show up on Tuesday, sit at his desk for eight hours doing nothing more complicated than stamping papers, and then... he wants to just... go home.

What are you even supposed to do with this?

The guy who got arrested for fist-fighting the last grand sage wants to be your secretary.

May Lesser Lord Kusanali have mercy on you, sir or ma'am, because if you come between him and the punch clock, Alhaitham will not.

There is something about the mirroring of how Ei and Nahida handled their respective Harbinger enemies (abandoning Scaramouche and killing Signora versus reasoning with Dottore and taking Scaramouche in when no one else cares to). It's like.... Nahida had every reason to toss Scara aside and blame him for the wrongs of the Sages, and she IS angry that he has benefitted from the suffering of her people and continues to lash out at both Nahida herself and the traveller. But he's just. He's a puppet and he was made to do things and in the aftermath of the cataclysm he couldn't live up to those expectations, Ei denied him the opportunity. So now he's scrambling for a semblance of purpose and dragging Sumeru into his identity crisis, but Nahida sees the tool he's being used as, sees that he's been denied personhood by those who control him (like her! Her heart (gnosis) powering the akasha while she rots) and she treats him with kindness.

She could kill him. Could send him back to the Fatui. Could have him imprisoned. He's a comatose robot, he doesn't need her to fuss over him but she's!!! She's a kind goddess and she understands what it's like to be tossed aside and denied your birthright purpose.

(And Ei kills and commits to violence and cruelty, but she's also just a product of the trauma she's had. But then did Signora deserve to die? She sowed chaos in Inazuma, but Ei let that happen. Ei killed her not out of anger or malice but cold judgement when she lost the duel, an uncaring punishment where Nahida is overflowing with compassion even for those who've hurt her).

Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango?

Gonna consider this a WIP but wanted to post it soooo errmmm more AU art YAAAAAAYYYY!!!

This one includes symbolism of some basic stuff, yet I’m still working on the story n everything overall, I’m just thinking about it too much

I rarely render art too, when I do it’s usually things I’m very obsessed with at the moment.

Мой отрядец номер раз У меня, честно, есть обоснование, почему они апхахха

Я не хожу в Бездну (почти), так что на урон мне всё равно.

Аяка тут для быстрого передвижения по миру (ибо Моночки нет). Скар прекрасно летает. А Диона спасает его жёпку от подбития в воздухе. А Казах - это мой любимый мальчик. Сыночек мой~ Я не могу не поставить его в отряд (к своему мужу тем более апхахах)

We really need to talk about Cold Front more here

I mean just look at Winnie, he's such a silly little guy <3

Hermes, god of merchants and tricksters 😁
