an animatic I made this weekend about who Hunter was sending flapjack pics to in “Reaching Out” ! it was really fun to try to keep to the TOH board style!
Okay now i gotta know... As someone who only plays on English server but craves every bit of info on chapter 7....
What's the spoon scene? You mentiond it in the Sebek UM poster post.
no pressure tho, I'm just curious
oh, it's a little flashback scene to Silver and Sebek's first magic lesson (moving a spoon) -- it's one of the missable ones, so there's nothing plot-important in it, I just thought that one was really extra cute! 💚 Lilia does such a bad job of explaining how to use magic ("you go, like, SHWOO") that Malleus steps in and teaches them instead. so it's basically just Silver and Sebek staring intently (and audibly) at a spoon while Lilia flails around making noises and Malleus reminisces about how Lilia's teaching style has always been fascinatingly incomprehensible! pure sugary domestic fluff! just rubbing it in how absolutely terrible things have gotten :)
there are a bunch of cute flashbacks like that in the 7-81 and 7-83 maps; it's definitely worth getting them all if you are also fond of the diafam! I swear, this update has somehow managed to make me even more obsessed with this idiot dad and his three adopted dingbats and that should not have been possible.
hobbies include: sketching phos (particularly not having a great time). yeah this is just a sketch dump pretty much!.
the last 3 were done while listening to the most phos-core song ive ever heard: Low – More (discovered thanks to @punpuncake) (no seriously, google the lyrics. mind-blowingly accurate. angst.mp3.)
aaand a bonus sketch from an aggie.io session with friends – blindingly white next to the previous pics, so im putting it under the cut:
I WENT TO A COOOOON I finished pinning my bag just in time for it!! It was a small one but still my first one ever omg it was great. Someone recognized Marcille but not Chilchuck </3 People judged my ships on 3 different instances for 3 different ships, I got visibly emotional over Alois Trancy, I bought a Denji figure, it was great

Ok that’s it for now~ To quote a buddy:
I’m not used to having such high quality figures…… He fits so perfectly in my hand 🥹
I think O’Khasis would be a very religious “Praise be to Lady Irene” place and that means Zane has religious trauma because I say so.
But I think he abuses that trauma. He knows how worthless, fearful and willing religion can make you so he uses it against others. He threatens his followers (since he is High Priest) with the same threats of eternal pain and suffering and the fear of coming back as a Shadow Knight to get people to do as Irene (he) wants.
He knows it works because throughout his childhood it worked on him and his brothers. He watched his father keep him and others under his thumb using religion and wanted to feel that kind of control since he lacked it so much in childhood.
I think that as Zane got older he didn’t even believe in the eternal suffering because if that was true why was his father so terrible and why was he not scared of what Irene planned for him? I don’t even think Zane believed Irene was a Goddess or some kind of celestial being. I think he probably thought she was a very powerful and clever witch who manipulated people to believe her own hype. And I think he respected that and wanted it for himself and wanted the power and notoriety to get everyone to worship him and thats what started his hunt for her relic.
I think Zane believes everyone is like him in some way. Doing whatever it takes to get to the top which is why he feels no shame or guilt in it. In his mind, from what he’s been shown by his father and everyone around him thats just how people are.
Slowed to 0.7x so you can see the mouth movements clearer, also cut out the long bit where El is just speaking
A bit gap-y around the end where I got stuck, mainly because it’s giving me a headache 😭 if I ever manage to finish the entire thing I’ll definitely share. But this is just to show that there’s things which fit other than Mlvn DnD speak which also flow together and form a narrative. We’re never going to know for absolute certain but I don’t think I’m completely off base tbh, or at least no less accurate than any questionable blurry AI generation lol. If you have any suggestions for what could fill the gaps let me know!
