actually, one thought real quick: I think it’s so interesting that Mary and Anne were basically literally Calico Jack but doubled, and somehow perhaps even more chaotic…and just like with Jack, the contrast was a catalyst that ultimately brought Stede and Ed closer together as a unit. something about that lifestyle that really makes not only their love but also their compatibility clear, even when Ed is too afraid and vulnerable to admit it.
love how this time around, Ed and Stede left together. Ed knows who he wants to be with now—finally knows he can have real, by-definition friends whose prerogatives aren’t just obliterating armoires and making everyone around them as uncomfortable as humanly possible (and that he can finally close the door on that part of himself too).
ending this thought with “Do you see me now?” vs. “I love everything about you.” because Ed’s also finally learning that at the end of the day, the people he wants to be around the most are those he can be content to just breathe the same air with—and that he is loved unconditionally, this wildfire of a past on full display and Stede’s love still unequivocally remaining.

I MISS JERE I MISS KÄ FANDOM (we're resting ik)
I MISS HIM SO MUCH TOO!!! 😭 don't worry, we're gonna be overwhelmed with his stupid face in may – böle will happen, allas sea pool, ruisrock...
in the mean time, hey, our gremlin's been pretty damn busy this year despite his "social media break" and gig break – we've had his thailand and ski/hockey holidays, he's joined alessandra on stage, he gave us rouska and the mv, won five awards, performed orchestral ccc in a GOWN, and this month he won the first goal for Kidings Me and tagged along with that one slovenian band (you know the one)
...still, can't wait for the gigs to start again <3 just gotta stay strong and survive april!!

Hey! Just wanna say that I’ve recently seen your You Shou Yan fanart and I wanna say that it’s so good!!
Also, on the cuddle pile drawing you mentioned your fankid for Tuye and Sibuxiang, could you explain a bit more of them pls (if you want to of course), they look so cuteee
Sorry for the long text haha, hope you have a good day!
OH MY GKD OH MY GOD OKAY OKAY WAIT LET ME GET MY PRESENTATION READY AHEM AHEM
OKAY SO!! xiaoju/小菊 (full name is chuju/雏菊 meaning daisy) is the name of my sibutuye fankid, hes a jackalope and he was gift sent from heaven, literally. heaven delivered his egg to sibuxiang and tuye via express mail😭 ive made a little 2 part comic on how he came to be here! (just check qrts for the second part) (i also have more doodles of him with sibutuye under the #dstxiaoju tag there)
xiaoju doesnt have an exact time frame of when he appeared in canon but i usually draw him somewhere before the events of chapter 800!
hes not really an expressive guy (even as an adult) and seeing him smile is a rarity (i promise hes a very cheerful and happy kid hes just not expressive). he also really hates broccoli and its one of the few food items that hes always avoided from childhood to adulthood lol.
OH OH also even though hes a jackalope (a species that is mostly rabbit) i designed him to be like a pretty equal mix of rabbit and deer, so he doesnt have that buck tooth rabbits have and his ears are shorter than a normal rabbit too! (made a little post about the ears here)
and back to him not having a buck tooth, bc he doesn't have one he cant make statues or figures with his teeth like tuye does so when he was big enough to hold a knife his parents taught him how to carve wood and he took into wood carving! i like to think that in the future hes made a few wooden figures of him and his family and has them displayed on a shelf
HES ALSO LIKE. a chronic deathgripper. like yk how babies have this really weird strength when they grip on things? yeah he has that and it never went away even when he was an adult. the amount of plates and cups he had accidentally cracked/broken throughout the years is more than the amount of weapons and artifacts pipi has ever eaten in decades o(-(
OKAY I THINK I MADE THIS POST WAY TOO LONG ILL STOP YAPPING BAHAHAHH i just really love my fankids😭 heres some art of him + his ref sheet that im pretty sure i havent posted anywhere else yet. i love this little dude to death

how long did it take you to like Daigo and Mine? I had a delayed response to the former. I’d played through all the games, nothing. Then one day I was just thinking of how he was yet another example of goth disaster who grows into Fine Young Man (my first was Gaara) and all of a sudden I got struck with the blorbo truck.
bestie. i have no idea LMAOOOO I REALLY COULDN'T TELL YOU
i know with mine at least it took me beating Y3 first and then thinking about his character more and then doing a replay of Y3 and rewatching his scenes. plus then i found all the currently available RGGO stories for him and that p much solidified my adoration for him
with daigo, i think it was just kind of like a gradual thing? my memory of my initial feelings when playin these games are mostly faded (pardon like. Y7 stuff that game and my feelings for it have been branded into my brain 5ever) but i remember as the games went on, i just got happier the more i saw daigo on screen (kind of like how i get when i see date in that 'omg it's my old friend daigo that's my boy :)') to the point where i instantly knew the 'masked figure' in y5 was him just from his sideburns (tho tbf i think we all saw the twist coming from a mile away, but it's the way i saw his sideburns and instantly went 'oh bitch i know those anywhere')
i did think he was dripped the fuck out in Y2 tho
