there is so much angst material between evergray and conrad
imagine them being friends, very good friends even (!!!) when they both were druids, then Evergray gets banished and it makes Conrad so sad and confused and angry that THAT ALONE is the reason Conrad left hiding it under the fact that it's for mastering his blacksmith skills and dedicating his life to it (or smth like that)
and when Evergray comes back to him 20 YEARS LATER when at this point Conrad probably thought HE DIED and accepted he's never going to see him again - he gets protective when Evergray is close and always keeps an eye on him and gets extremely anxious when he's not around in fear of losing him again
oh my god i’d completely forgotten this happened but i just had a flashback to that time before i was a star rider when conrad said he was going to send me up into like ashlands or something? for a perilous journey to collect some precious metal and listen. i had seen spoilers for some of the main story quests on tumblr so i thought ‘this is it’ and i was so excited. only to find out that he was kidding and guess what! i just had to go to jon jarl’s tomb to get the metal. if i wanted an adventure i needed star rider!
I think of this screenshot my friend @yaksemash took so often... It's so striking, it's like renaissance painting to me, I had to draw it to get the demon out of me
If I had a nickel for every time a character named Conrad had their name misspelled in SSO I’d have two nickles. Which isn’t a lot but it’s wierd that it happened twice
Conrad: Dark Core is about to get a serious ass-kicking from Dr. Conrad Marsdeen! That’s right. I’m a doctor. Ph.D. in ass-kicking, Bachelor’s in pain...
