Just wanted to give my big massive thanks for making this account for the Ever-Lovable Bastard Demon:tm: <3
Your art is genuinely beautiful and I love it all so much!!! Wish you the best of luck going forwards!
On a semi-related note and (and cuz why not..!), I wanted to ask what your thought may be for Chapter 5? The Chapter is after all described by Gerson to be a: "Field of Pink and Gold(no yellow...). The vast garden is charred in an inferno of jealousy."
Seeming like this'll be the long awaited FRIEND Adventure everyone has been hyping up for, buuut, given what we've seen with Sword Route, these two eldritch gay idiots seem to be a package deal..! So what do you think they will be doing there amidst the flowers and liveliness.. ? Will they frolic and dance? Will they longingly stare at the stars and each others eyes? :'>
Or will ERAM do uber-arson to FRIEND's homemade garden for the funsies?
thank you very much!!! I hope to get back to drawing this idiot very soon! I would have gotten to this ask earlier, but this week has been very busy... I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep right now...
i am QUITE biased but I do think Eram will return in chapter 5 (or if not, chapter 6). they are way too interesting of a character to just get swept under the rug. Plus, the dialogue...
"Well, enough of that! We both have work to do!"
...yeah I think we'll see them again. whatever "work" entails, it sounds a lot like their and Kris's paths will cross in the future.
I believe the Sword Route is a foreshadowing of the events of a future chapter, and we will fight the "real" Eram outside the Mantle game in chapter 5 or 6. Probably as part of the weird route, but maybe not, since the Sword Route itself didn't require taking the weird route.
i do think FRIEND will get its Big Hype Moments next chapter, but like you said, Eram and FRIEND seem to be closely associated! so maybe... team fight? I think they're partners in crime... it's fun to imagine them being friends or even Evil Entity Yuri
also I love how you describe them... the eldritch gay idiots.... now I want to draw them frolicking in a field together
