Whoa

I worry my Michael Shelley Appreciation had evolved beyond my comprehension.

hi it's me the kuervo lore anon back back again with a WALL OF TEXT and also pirates spoilers but those are pretty obvious.

starting with his Tragic Backstory™ everything about him makes so much more sense when you realize he's just shadow the hedgehog spanish dub. ie raised as the specialest child soldier ever, idolized older sibling got killed by the government, now he's on an epic bloody revenge quest and there's these blue guys trying to teach him about the power of friendship but he doesn't care. said revenge quest is also where he lost his eye btw, and his eyepatch and rings are sort of fucked up trophies.

his self image is Messed Up bc of all that. he hypes himself up in his mind like he's some amazing folk hero (in-universe he literally calls chat his "adoring fans". which. ya got me.) and then you realize that's absolutely a front so he doesn't have to think about the murders. he's paranoid as fuck about the other pirates finding out his whole deal but such a horrible liar that he seriously considers yet another murder. but he's just a silly little guy he's done nothing wrong ever in his life why would you even think about him like that.

characterization wise kuervo's got a strong sense of justice which got him in this mess in the first place. he's quick to jump to insults or casual threats and even quicker to just laugh it off (ignore the sword it's just a joke bro!!). he's not super vain but definitely cares about his appearance. there's a very good chance all that eyeliner hides some impressive eyebags. he doesn't talk much but hangs around on the edge of conversations listening to gossip like he's at the movies with a metaphorical bucket of popcorn. he's an insanely good shot but refuses to touch guns (except in life or death situations) to the point of getting jumpy when other pirates pull guns for whatever reasons. he's the type of guy to keep a knife under his pillow (that isn't canon but it's close enough). despite being in the murder faction he doesn't take bounties (one of his only trips to the bounty guild ended with eret killing a guy and getting exiled bc of his bad advice). there's actually so few kites toward the end of the server that he just hangs out with the nightingales despite calling them a bunch of losers once.

one time he crashed bek's ship on a deserted island. he's the only pirate to get away with swearing in front of owen bc he does it in spanish. he's made peace with the fact his epic revenge quest's probably going to end with him dead, but he refuses to die on any other terms than his own. he's lonely as hell but he keeps everybody at arm's length bc he knows he'll have to leave someday soon. he got kidnapped once and immediately resorted to talking to a bunch of fish. he's even aroace

Obsessed actually.

I'm. Honestly pretty hyped that I got the right vibe around him and I'm even more hyped to be able to read about him.

If there's more solid-stuff about Kuervo's background, I'd love to hear. Unless it's like. Purposely a bit shrouded I just loved reading all this.

I'm probably gonna re-read this about 20 times honestly. Thank you for the Lore Dump, I'll be eating it all promptly

Make love not war or something like that.

Snippet Saga 1:

Troy Saga: Open Arms

Sketch & Base Lining:

I have an idea for what I'm gonna do with the empty days of inktober :>

Stop everything it's Scar's birthday--

And the sketch cos I love the progress between them haha

Boatem Home Celebration for their favorite mayor!

BTW I cannot stress enough that if you do not care/have an understanding for all three of those boys that form Doey, I do not want your opinions.

Do not come at me with "Kevin is the bad/evil one" or "i would like doey if it wasn't for Kevin :/"

Both real comments I have seen and im not a fan.

I love Doey and all three of those poor boys and I will hear nothing else.

Incorrect quotes the beloved

Jimmy, obviously disheveled from falling 20 feet: oh am I being flirted at right now?

Inktober Day 7: Trip

Edit: I decided to make it a series

Part 1 [Here]

Part 2

I want her to be happy and to feel love and warmth and I will be maiming over it.

Headcanons/Rambles under cut:

Close Ups:

Base Lining & Sketch:

I want to analyze her character for science. I want to dive in so much about how her character/perception is pushed down in the game due to who's perspective we're watching. Gosh.

Anyways

Headcanons

• Soft, caring, can and will meticulously pick apart your life in a way that either makes you feel like you need to go to a therapist or curl on the floor and cry 👍. Not always malicious. She's just a really good observer.

• Has a resting look that makes her look sad or quiet and what not but she just has those big ol sad eyes.

• She remembers everything she reads (I don't recall if Eidetic/Photographic is the correct term, but something like that). She reads manuals and contracts and every small type of information so that she can always referr back to it.

• Her great memory also adds to her and Daisuke's friendship. With her being patient enough to listen to his miles long rambles, he can explain a lot of modern/"younger generation" stuff so that she slowly but surely can actually understand what he's talking about. He usually talks about games, things he sees on the internet and more political topics when the conversations fall into it. Daisuke has gone into in depth discussions about gender identity & sexuality to the point where Anya has heavily questioned her own identity (had she had the time to live with it more, she would've started using They/She Pronouns. For the sake of my babbles I won't do that here but. But). She's debated a lot about how she feels about her orientation.

• I believe she's had many passing thoughts about using the gun on Jimmy or Curly or herself (given that she had the code smh). Upsettingly intrusive thoughts about what she could do, but nothing she's ever gone through with.

• She hit her head hard during the crash. Possibly concussion level hard. It made it harder to get Curly stable but she managed as much as she could.

• id like to think Daisuke helped her open up more. Him being really good at reading people and very insistent on chatting/being friends with her until she finally gave in. She feels comfortable being more casual with him. He's not an older peer or her boss so she doesn't worry having to "prove herself" with him. They can just be friends casually shooting the breeze and all.

• Daisuke also convinces Anya that Swansea is more of a softie then he let's on. Before Daisuke joined, Anya was polite with Swansea and knew he wasn't as rough as he let on, but she was still distant and didn't see him as someone who cared much for his co-workers. Daisuke insisted and would go on his rambles about times he caught Swansea being soft or caring in his own way, just not wanting to show it cos he's a stubborn old bustard. Anya started to see that eventually, and started to feel she could let her guard down more with Swansea and trusted him more.

I could probably go on but I have to end this post eventually gosh--

I'll be back.

That deepslate redstone sure has a spicy kinda corruption huh?

Our favorite dragon hybrid Count is coping well with it it seems. Not so much with being chained up but that's besides the point.

Inktober Day 21: Chains

Head full of Dragon Fwhip content brrrrr

Fwhip is once again causing me issues cos I decide to make his pieces have a lot of tiny details.

We're also ignoring how much I've drawn Fwhip for inktober; don't worry about it I just love that weird little guy

Do I think Archivist Sasha would've handled a good few things better than Archivist Jon?

Yes.

Do I also think that she would lead to arguably worse horrors and fall much deeper into the "monster" aspect of being an avatar?

Very much so

Sort of a doodle cos I couldn't come up with anything.

Behold

The boy
