🙈💛🙊 Out of Sight / Out of Mind

I tend to start and finish my illustrations the same day that I start them, but this one... HOLY SHIT. Five days!! All while doing my uni work between my breaks. This took ALOT of revisions. I joked about ditching the initial sketch since I'm not skilled enough to draw objects and perspective (also objects in perspective), but I'm so so SO glad I didn't.

// ty keero club for the hype :') genuinely would've abandoned this if it wasn't for y'all lol. gonna be taking a break as my treat (is it really a rest if i'm doing uni work as well? uhhh... anyways- see ya!

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

Just a little PSA for all our mental health (and chronic pain*) spoonies out there! A lot of doctors neglect to mention this little side effect, which means a lot of us are suffering extra from the heat without knowing why.

*Many psych meds are used to treat chronic pain as well, if you didn’t know!

As much as I'm a big fan and supporter of Melkor pulling off the occasional evil master plan, I also wholeheartedly believe that this man/creature sometimes does stupid shit when he's bored and/or angry and yes, that includes what happened during the Ainulindalë

Hello, Em! Something that has been on my mind lately is what Dedra and Syril's love languages would be. Syril is the textbook case for words of affirmation. Dedra is a bit trickier. She'd be good at acts of service. What do you think??

This is a great question! I thought about this a long time ago, but not since Season 2 came out. I absolutely see what you’re saying, and I agree! I might actually switch them around a bit. I think Syril would be good at giving acts of service (he did sprint into an explosion to rescue Dedra, after all), but I also think you’re right about words of affirmation being important to him, especially if they come from Dedra or Partagaz. On the other hand, I think physical touch is far more important to Syril than it is to Dedra. I think he likes to cuddle. He likes to hold hands. He likes to be close to Dedra not just emotionally, but physically, too. If I had to pick one for Syril to need in a relationship, it’d probably be, as you said, words of affirmation. Tell him he matters! Tell him he’s good! Kiss his forehead and tell him he’s so, so special! And don’t lie to him about what he’s doing on Ghorman for the love of god

For Dedra, I think words of affirmation are important, but it’s tricky. Does she need words of affirmation from Syril, whom she vastly outranks, or just from her superiors? I think she could be okay enough at giving words of affirmation once she felt comfortable and safe, based on what we saw in Season 2. She readily volunteers the information to Eedy that Syril’s been promoted twice, and she stands up for Syril when Eedy’s… well, being Eedy. As far as what she’d want, though - I’m inclined to say acts of service. I think it takes her forever to get used to closeness, so physical touch isn’t it. Quality time is a “maybe,” since she and Syril clearly wanted to be together, but she’s also always working and Syril understands that. I don’t think physical gifts are important to her, although I could see Syril buying her flowers or clothes or chocolates or whatever he thinks she might enjoy. Really, I think she wants to come home and find dinner’s ready. She wants to fall asleep with her datapad in her lap and find a blanket draped over her and the datapad in its charging station. She’s pleasantly surprised when Syril makes her caf in the mornings and remembers exactly how she prefers it. I don’t think she’s accustomed to mattering to anyone in such a way that they’d “inconvenience themself” to make her life easier, just because they’re invested in her happiness. I think that would be most meaningful in her eyes. In fact, you could argue it was the highest possible “act of service” that sparked their relationship in the first place: he saved her life. I don’t think they necessarily would’ve gotten together if not for Ferrix! So, I’ll settle on acts of service for Dedra.

So, the TL; DR version is:

Syril: best at giving acts of service or physical touch, needs words of affirmation

Dedra: best at giving words of affirmation, needs acts of service
