Do you care for her? Don't worry too much about love, that's a dicey word for the over-forties. Or are you just afraid of becoming some old man dying in the groove of his life and buried out of pity by a bunch of youngsters who never knew you as anything other than some old fart who always seemed to be around the place.

Or: Are you giving up your entire life and everything you’ve ever known because you want to? Or because you feel like you have to? And can you live with yourself if you do it anyway?

[contakaidigon]

Wanted to do some hair studies so I drew a buncha Gorgugs 💚

[contakaidigon]

still not over the Last Stand. can you believe he did that. what the fuck

[contakaidigon]

I imagine me at the table is exactly how Riz was at the party, just sitting in the corner having no fun being like “….what did we miss.”

Murph literally just being Riz is my favourite thing so I had to do a screenshot redraw of this moment from the adventuring party 🎉

[contakaidigon]

4am cup of coffee

Featuring the medal of wit from gorgug and the scars on his hands from the nightmare forest :)

[contakaidigon]

pour one out for your local unhinged teenage girl 🍷

[contakaidigon]

WE ARE GOING TO DIE HERE TOGETHER, RIZ GUKGAK

[contakaidigon]

I sign it from Gorgug. I forget how to be myself all the time.

I love the resolution of this that we got because I love Gorgug but also consider: any of these kids talking to each other even a little bit about their problems.

There’s just something about that moment when you realise that the decisions you make due to your own self-confidence issues impact the people you care about. Realising when you forget to be yourself, your friends who love you miss out on you too. And maybe you could even try to give yourself a break, for them. Idk man this season is going crazy and all i can do is draw pictures about it

Episode 10 hijinks (with bonus Gorgug from last ep because I had to)

[ID: A page of sketches on a grey background. 1: Adaine is lying on a message table, with Lydia massaging her back and saying "Just relax, man." Kristen is lying under the table, laughing, pointing her phone up at the hole in the table where Adaine's face pokes through. A bubble to one side shows Adaine's face in the hole - she looks tired and grumpy. 2: Riz I sitting next to Sklonda in a car. He's leaning back with his hands over his face while Sklonda looks at him in concern. 3: Fig is on the phone to Hallariel, a confused expression on her face. She says, "Have we ever had a conversation before?". In the background, a tiny Fabian with large, teary eyes says "…Mama?" 4: Kristen stands at a podium, gesturing outward, saying "Students of Oakshield Middle School…" 5: Gorgug looks nervously at Riz, who is standing next to him. Riz is holding the medal of wit artificer infusion, and is shaking. His eyes are big and filled with tears. 6: Aelwyn has one arm around Adaine and is holding her close, ruffling her hair with her other hand. Aelwyn's expression is affectionate, and Adaine is holding her arm, squirming. 7: A redraw of the "Mom holy fuck!" meme, but its Gorgug kicking down the door to Porter's office and yelling "Porter holy fuck!" /end ID]
