Take this cover image, for example: Hikaru is Some Kid. (Some Kid whose head conveniently looks like a white Go piece stuck to a black Go piece, sure, but just some kid anyway.) Toya meanwhile is ethereal. That is on purpose.

...I think Guydelot's the only son-in-law the triplets' parents actually 100% genuinely like.

@stygicniron asked: forgive me , i didn’t know . @ meg?
the young prince says he did not know , and megaera has to refrain from dragging her hands down her face . she is here on business , not pleasure , and it is the sight of the youngest of lord hades' children that has her remembering why she often stayed away and communicated via letter . she is so easily frustrated here , wrenched off her focus points like an unruly kitten by scarred hands she has bitten many times .
hades does not control her and her sisters but she still has to be respectful . so there is a reason alecto came with her , leaving tisiphone to her own devices elsewhere in the capital . at least tisiphone won't get into too much trouble .
but it was alecto's CONFIDENCE that sparked a question in the child , asking why she seemed so ... at home , in lord hades' estate . why the second of the erinyes did not bat an eye , seemed to know what corridors to pay attention to regardless of direction from the servants . megaera had not anticipated him to be so observant , and alecto had taken exception to the question , and promptly disappeared in a supernatural burst of speed , nearly teleporting ahead to the meeting room .
megaera had remarked that young nico had offended the second fury , and thus comes the apology .
if only it were that simple .
❛ you would not be expected to know , young one , ❜ she murmurs in her naturally husky voice , golden eyes focused down upon the prince of the estate . ❛ but it would be a good lesson to learn . if you have such suspicions , bring them to your FATHER — not the suspicious party . especially not one much , much older than you . ❜
the youth of today — it is always something .

"i am neither false nor fake. i am simply me" 🤝 "i don't know, fucking... love?" <- acknowledgement of narrative structures that force conflict and suffering onto its characters, and rejection of them in favour of the simplest, kindest alternative. you get me right

I'm fascinated by this shirt design for Helena. It
1) does a better job of understanding the B&W cinematography of Raiders than all of DoD did
2) highlights just how incredibly uninteresting Helena's costuming is, especially as a heroic character
however. it does feature the only background in this whole shirt series that doesn't outright suck, so. points for that

"I always wanted [Dorian] to be Chaotic Good, and then I found that the more things I got encountered with, the less good that he was. It was less about an in-line morality, and more about his dedication to his friends. Which, once that started to happen, especially with the bond with Orym, the through line that, for me, that Dorian started to take was: Friends above all else. All else."
--Robbie Daymond, on Dorian, Exandria Unlimited Wrap-Up

the way buck went from looking over his shoulders worried people were watching to reaching for tommy's hand in a public space is everything to me because it might look like a small gesture to anyone on the outside but i just know buck's heart was beating a mile a minute because not only had tommy agreed to meet up with him again after that disastrous date but he had also just admitted that he was still interested and that yes he would love to be buck's plus one at the wedding and buck wants to kiss him but they're out in public and that's one thing he's not quite ready for yet but maybe he's ready for something else so he reaches out and places his hand on top of tommy's and he brushes his thumb over the back of his hand and maybe taking things slow and in his own pace isn't so scary after all
