#anyway have fun wife <3

"You seem to come around much more often, these days." Observation noted with a smile; Nahida is rather pleased to see Zulaikha's more frequent presence not just around the Akademiya, but around Sumeru City as a whole. The desert may be home― in more ways than one― but dwelling in the past has only ever led to HORRID consequences. That Orchard of Pairidaeza must be a place of such anguish for Zulaikha, no? As beautiful as it is, as touching as its creation was, Nahida thinks it must be a heartbreaking place to be for its intended recipient. Yet Zulaikha runs there when overwhelmed, and the archon cannot wrap her head around why, cannot help but worry for her. So truly, it IS a relief to see the woman more present, at least on a literal level. Figuratively speaking... Well, it's hard to assess how present Zulaikha is MENTALLY, with all that she's had thrust upon her lately.

Ceasing the movements of her floral swing, Nahida hops down from her perch and dispels the swing in favor of keeping her focus on Zulaikha. All the while, that kind smile remains, though in her eyes there remains that worry― she's not forcing herself to be here, is she? A forced coping method born of stress and denial? Or maybe it's just some facade? She doesn't think Zulaikha to be a liar, but people are still unpredictable in her eyes. Besides, the one she's truly known for so long was NABU MALIKATA― the one before her now is... Almost the same, but not entirely. So she can't rely on past memories to understand the present.

That does not stop her from wanting to understand nonetheless― and to do anything in her power to help the likely conflicted soul before her.

"Why don't you tell me about your latest trip?" she starts, intentionally vague. Whether Zulaikha wants to talk about her latest desert ruins trip, or open up about the Orchard trips, Nahida is there to listen. Given the history of it all, it will lead back to the same place whichever way they start. And that's all that matters to her right now.

Whenever someone is talking about how they raided the grove to romance and recruit Minthara, there's always someone who's gotta push themselves to the front of the conversation just to say, "YOU CAN RECRUIT HER NOW WITHOUT RAIDING THE GROVE!!!". I'm sorry, but you need to shut up, I don't care. You seem to mistake me for someone with empathy and compassion and someone who cares for, eugh, refugees. I know I don't have to raid the grove for Minthara... I want to. Believe me, I did not feel forced to raid the grove, I chose to. Gotta make my baby gorl happy. I mean, how else am I supposed to get my cuddles?

"The outer reaches of space remain unexplored by humankind to this day, but its greed is relentless. We grasp and yearn and hunger for knowledge— answers to questions we cry out into the endless void expecting to understand, expecting the stars to respond. The stars will not, but one day something else will— and we will not like what it has to say." — Rome Solomon, Beyond the Exosphere (1965)

-no sixpack. just bc.

-many pubes. other bodyhair is a bit less bc he isnt on T (<- excuse bc i couldnt make it look good /hj)

eiden:

-pretty neat scars. got them done fairly early in his life.

-left his abs bc he really tries to keep em. dont particularly like it but :/ i feel like its part of him idk

-was on T a few years before getting isekai'd, aster helped him find a replacement.

dante:

-NEAT surgery scars. got them done, after his parents died, by top-level surgeons (+ didnt have big boobs to begin with)

-nips+snakebites+eyebrows pierced. hes a royal man he deserves it.

-left his pack bc i think he uses it as a coping mechanism....

-has been on proxy-T since a few months before his parents died.

rei:

-tiny boobs tiny scars. did them himself aswell.

-navel pierced bc hes a slut so ofc.

-no abs. this man does nothing to keep himself in shape.

-not on T but has found some remedy that has permanently lowerd his voice

-main reason for transition was so he could be in hiding better, he really doesnt care for much else.

balde:

I only wanted to sketch her face and then boom, full drawing. I'll take it!!!!

+ I liked the lineart of her face a lot

Typisch comparisons since I can't help myself

First and most recent vs. newest

Also have this little chibi of her I never finished

Personally I find it really funny that based on what the twins said in the Book 2 finale re: having to tell their mom about what happened to Unalaq, it's literally canon that Unalaq's wife a) exists, b) is alive, and c) is just chilling in the Northern Water Tribe

She took one look at all the spirit fuckery her husband was getting up to and went "Well that's none of my business" and honestly I respect that

actually stunned by how gay The Beatles has been all this time and I just never knew

[termagax]

re: "good girl" i think they say it once randomly as a joke and its just one of those things that gets him wayyy more than they expected it would. so now its their secret weapon and they use it very sparingly and every single time he gets super embarrassed about it but it works ill tell you what.

[b00m-b0mb]

Something really funny that's occurred to me is the way Joe talks about Maccie is like she's some catastrophic event that happened to their family "I can't believe she's been here that long." / "Everything's been different since she was born" / "Everything changed." / "She changed everything."

And it's just rlly funny to me. I want to up the dramaticness of his words at some point. And anyway, he's talking to the Samurai/Ronin for the first time and I'm wondering the impression he's getting lmao

Joe is certainly expressive to me, but only when he's given the chance. And I think w Ronin, he just started letting a lot of stuff out bc thus guy is gonna go on his way anyways.. but then he's like wait!!! Actually let me go?? For a little? (Platonic yearning so bad)

Ronin like 》^. "I suppose.. Alright, curious karate man, I'll accompany you a little longer."

Or something I'm messing around UGH
