Peridot and specially Lapis do not trust the racoons.

Specifically chose this angle so I don't draw feet. _(:,3」∠)_

Mi own connverse kids Ebony and Rohini are there! And technically Sakura and Zachary. (Please until now I don't know what else to name them. 😭)

And sorry the older Maheswarans aren't there. I don't know where to put them and I already had character overload. 😞

Hibiscus print on Bismuth's shirt is from ManMadeOfGold!

Speaking of shirt, another thing I avoided was thinking of their outfit designs. 😅 It's somewhere a little over a decade of timeskip since SU:Future and I'm sure at least one or two would've reformed during the time. So I'm gonna say they wanted to keep the vibe of a casual outdoors picnic-type event so they wore the casual themes.

So I've had this wip sitting in my folders for months now and decided to ressurect it to satiate the urge to draw these two again

Okay I have shared my thoughts on every other necron guy with a name and a model, might as well finish the set.

Iluminor Szeras it is finally your turn!

I was honestly waiting to see if Pariah Nexus added anything new to his character for me to chew on. As I suspected, it added nothing and THANK GOD for that! This guy is pure, uncut, villain. He is not a character, he is a problem and I hate (love) him!

Look, 40k is a grimdark universe. Full of bad things happening to maybe okay people or bad people or a combination and sure a lot of stories and characters grapple with the existential dread of living in a universe where 99% of everything either wants you dead or wants you way worse than dead. That's all compelling.

But you need someone to be the terror, the thing that lurks in the darkness, the monster you never, ever want to run into. For my money, Szeras plays that role better than almost anyone in the setting. His design is the perfect combo of monstrous and intimidating (and he's just one of the best models in the necron range). He tortures every living being he can get his hands on for fun and "science." He can strip your soul away and make it hurt (probably more than necessary). And he's an immortal skeleton spider robot the size of a small tank with needles on command!

Szeras is literally the guy that made biotransference happen. He destroyed his own species! And did he learn anything from this? About hubris or toying with people's lives or thinking through the consequences of his works? Nope! In fact he wants to do it all over again but better this time probably maybe. He just wants to be a god! Is that too much to ask?

Don't get me wrong, he does have a personality. It is just every cliched villain trope imaginable. Arrogant, cruel, abuses his subordinates (pariah nexus did confirm that at least, never say it added nothing). Still brilliant, but he loves to let his evilness get in his own way just a little. Keep things interesting. He has that classic necron He is literally offended that people don't line up for the science torture, because he's just so much better than them. Classic, old school necron nonsense. He's ungodly petty (even though he insists he had moved past all that). Also he really hates Orikan?

(excerpt comes from one of the Psychic Awakening shorts for anyone curious)

And the thing is, this all totally works (for my money at least). Because every time Szeras shows up, the audience immediately tenses. Trust me, I am speaking from experience. You want to freak people out, just toss Szeras in at the end of a chapter or in a trailer or anywhere in close proximity of someone your audience doesn't want vivisected. Instant stakes!

Sometimes that's all a character has to be. A fun threat to throw at a situation to see how it gets worse. He is terrible, I love him, I grin and grimace every time I see him around.

That said, he is THE WORST MODEL I HAVE EVER HAD TO ASSEMBLE AND PAINT and for that I do curse his name forevermore.

I don't even remember what it was we were talking about

"Of course the moment you left, you died. You know I'm alone now, right? To pick up YOUR mess. And knowing you, you're not coming back as one of those freaks. you're leaving me to deal with this. It should've been you to go, Afton. Your brother would've had more sense."

[lesbiansanemi]

I am so fucking sick of living with my roommate and his fuck ass boyfriend. Also watching my roommate burn every single one of his (already rather minimal, I might add) bridges for this guy is also kind of painful but also his relationship with me is one of said bridges so I'm almost past the point of even feeling bad for him lmao

[doverstar]

an absolute wave of homesickness for Doctor Who (2005) series 1-2 just about knocks me over at the quietest moments of my little life

[merkerlerspeaks]

on a scale of 1-10 how silly would it be to ask folks to pray that I find a piece of jewelery I lost. It's not particularly valuable monetarily but its very precious to me and Im afraid I lost it outside of the house. I cant find it anywhere it should be. It could be in the pocket of the either the pajama pants or outside pants I wore the last day I saw it (the 19th) or it could be buried under something in my old bedroom, or it could be at my friend's moms house or somewhere between here and there. Trying not to stress over it but its just become precious too me.

I cannot fucking believe the audacity of property management. There's a section 8 apartment complex in the north west part of town that recently had a mass shooting (7 injured, thankfully no one dead). And guess what the complex did just days afterwards? Sent everyone a letter saying their rent would increase by $300 a month starting 2024. Are you fucking kidding me? SEVEN PEOPLE GOT SHOT and they're more concerned with the rent. Absolutely unreal. I get that business has to keep going, to a certain extent. How can you know that people have been shot and injured on your property and probably are drowning in medical debt now and still have the audacity to demand they pay more in rent or get kicked out. This is not the first and probably not the last shooting this year here and they're really raising rent? Fuck this fucking city and every greedy piece of shit landlord and property manager out there. I hope they all choke on their own wads of cash so we can roast them over a fire like the pigs they are

It’s almost worse knowing they hurt me unintentionally because I don’t have any right to hate them. It was an accident, they didn’t know, but still I have breakdowns at the mention of them and they don’t even know.

[running-in-the-dark]

oh great, I fell asleep again. except I had really horrible nightmares. and then got woken up by the doorbell, because a guy was here for the internet cables. i had just woken up and I was told before that they wouldn't need anything from us, so I was really confused. and he was the first rude one of all the people I've had to deal with since we moved in. I have literally nothing at all to do with any of this, I just live here 😭😭😭

[the13throseii]

Man I can't. I'll watch a movie and be like "that was pretty enjoyable!" And then like 90% of people online are like "THIS MOVIE KILLED MY PARENTS IN FRONT OF ME"
