I've developed more of the draft since drawing this so not sure if I'll use it in TROD but alas. Cat conflict™

Just vibing bro 🏳️‍⚧️

I just really love drawing them as teens, so many possibilities

My favourite trope has to be:

I sacrificed myself to save you. I didn't plan to survive. I burnt all the bridges. I intended to break your heart with my death, but that would be all right, because I wouldn't be around to see you. I pretended that you'll mourn me for a while and move on. I convinced myself I was going down in the blaze of glory. That my deed was appreciated. That everything was going to be all right afterwards, and I didn't need to be there to see it.

But I survived. And now I have to look you in the eye. I have to pick up the pieces of the life I shattered and figure out how to put it back together. If it can be done at all.

An incredibly fascinating thing to learn about medieval knightly tournaments is that the Christian church actually hated them and they were on at least two separate occasions banned by the Pope or the King of England, the latter possibly viewing them as sources of dissent and disorder.
