ppl who overemphasize the andreil height difference make no sense to me like. it’s 3 inches and andrew prolly wears his fuck ass platform boots while neil prances around in sneakers so worn out he might as well just be wearing socks. be fr they’re practically eye to eye neil’s just got a complex and points out andrew’s height every other sentence

oops!!!!!!!! accidentally caught the script up to msq!!!!

i honestly did not think this was going to be possible with the amount of time left after i finished 6.0, but here we are!!!!!!!

the entire msq, at your fingertips!!!!!!!!!

please know that i will NOT be doing dawntrail's MSQ immediately after it drops though. i want to enjoy playing through for the first time without making it into a job. i hope to get to it before TOO too long, though 💖

im figuring out how they feel about each other

text:

Edd: Matt's just such a nice person! He always knows how to cheer me up <3

Tord: Matt is always willing to play along with whatever bullshit I come up with. He can also be quite thoughtful, when he remembers to be.

Tom: *shrug* He's objectively hot.

Tm: ...what.

Edd: Wow... where would I be without Tord, really? He's *always* been there for me.

Tom: ...

Matt: Oh, Tord's great! He always has the best ideas for pranks and stuff... especially on Tom!

Edd: Tom'a got his issues, but deep down he's just like a teddy bear. Just as cuddly, too!

Tord: Tom is really fun to mess with. He deserves it... most of the time.

Matt: Tom's the best! He's a great listener and an awesome musician! I'm a little jealous of him, to be honest.

M: Also he's reeeeeeeally cute when he's angry!

E: *nod*

Td: *nod*

Tord: Edd's always been with me. I don't know what I would do without him.

Tom: ...Edd's the reason I'm here.

Matt: Edd's the best! He's kind, smart, supportive, creative, inspiring... everything!

Do you ever think about how Alisaie's biggest fear is losing the people she cares about? How the very first conversation you have with her alone, a deeply personal one, is about her confiding in you about those fears? Telling you that she hated the state of the world Louisoix died for because, to her, it wasn't worth the sacrifice? She tells you about all the allies she made and lost, who she watched die and could do nothing to save them.

Do you ever think about how Alisaie was consistently one of the first to act, to recklessly throw herself at danger throughout stb? She didn't care (as much) about herself getting hurt, but she'd be damned if she let her friends suffer without doing anything. She has to be fast and proactive, because if she can't protect them even when striking first, how would she be able to when acting after the fact?

Do you ever think about how every time her loved ones are in peril/are in risk of being in peril her heart just breaks? How whenever someone's safety is unsure she panics and immediately tries to contact them/rush to their aid? When Castrum Abania's cannon shot the tower that, for all she knew, Alphinaud was still in, she immediately stops what she's doing and runs to it in panic because her brother was in there and he might be dead.

Do you ever think about how when the Scions start getting their souls yanked to the First, Alisaie reacts the strongest? How, when Urianger and Y'shtola got taken, she fell to her knees shaking Uriangers body, screaming for him to wake up? And when Gaius appears with Alphinaud in the Burn, she immediately goes to fight him (before being stopped by Hien) because this man, who has been her enemy, is holding her brother's lifeless body. She doesn't care that she can't possibily beat him, he has her brother and she's already lost so much in such a short amount of time. She's lost Thancred, Y'shtola and Urianger already, she can't lose Alphinaud too.

Do you ever think about how you are the only one she can fully rely on at that time, but who is also at risk of being taken away? Of how she's so desperate for you to stay, to not be taken away, that Alisaie, who, for all her bluntness, prefers to rely on herself first and foremost, begs you not to leave her? She begs you. Alisaie does not beg. She yells at you to not do something, and she'll scold you to hell and back if you do it anyway, but she does not beg. But this time she did.

And then she ends up being taken away right in front of you. She cries out for help and uses her very last energy to reach out for you. And then she falls limp.

Do you ever think about how, when Alphinaud turns to tell her his plans at the end of Ultima Thule, she immediately rejects it without even letting him say it? She's lost so much and experienced so much grief, not only overall but also just in Ultima Thule. And she loathes to bring that grief onto another. Especially to one who has already lost so much, like you. She hates it. She ends up doing it, yes, but she hates it still.

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT-

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

How do you draw Edd's hair? I'm having so much trouble drawing it..

EDD'S HAIR IS THE HARDEST OF ALL OF THEM HANDS DOWN. I FEEL YOU.

is this because i actually try to mimic his canon hair instead of giving him an entirely new hairstyle? possibly. but that doesn't change the fact that edd's hair is tough to draw.

well. most of it is fine. the cowlick? sure. the bangs? easy. the ONE THING that you HAVE to get right???

THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE!!!!

that big swoop of hair is the ANCHOR for drawing edd's hair. and that's what I start with. ...after the head and face, that is.

but my main piece of advice is, unfortunately yes, REPETITION!!

JUST DRAW HIM A GAZILLION TIMES!!

i'll admit i probably have a bit of an advantage having drawn edd off and on for over a decade, but sketching The Guys in a bunch of random positions and angles and such, just filling sketchbooks upon sketchbooks, that's the best way to improve. well at drawing in general but also the characters youre currently hyperfixating on.

and of course you can always put your own spin on it. i mean, look at my tom's hair in comparison to canon. or matt (mine is a lot fluffier). or tord (MULLET!!!). do what you want forever <3
