I think Essek is a very jealous person. Don’t get me wrong I love the polyamory fics, and I know Caleb is no stranger to threesomes. But feeling romantic love that strongly for the first time? And having grown up being a deeply selfish person? I don’t think he’s very good at sharing.

I mean, look at his interaction with Astrid in Chastities Nook, he’s bragging about having Caleb. And I don’t think this is new. Caleb working at the academy implies he works with Astrid somewhat often.

I bet Essek supports Caleb in everything he does but would gladly claw out Astrid’s fuck ass hairstyle if she made any sort of questionable moves.

Just my personal opinion. I think about Essek way too often.

Essek, smirking: Young man. Caleb, doing the math on elven lifespans in his head: You are. Sixteen.

and caleb being mentally 22 which in the realm of elves would make him ... oh god 3 to an elf

the thing is, for me as a diehard short Essek truther, is that I would be open to tall Essek interpretations more if I ever saw reasons for it aside from Tall Equals Sexy. Like I have read so much good meta for Essek being short and how it feeds into how he presents himself, there’s so much to chew on there, but I have never in my like five and a half years in this fandom seen that for tall Essek. And so I will live on the short Essek hill indefinitely, because the tall Essek hill appears unfortunately barren and uninteresting.

The average height Essek hill is flourishing, with cows like me enjoying the grass that's tall enough to actually chew on. Essek and Caleb seeing eye to eye when Caleb isn't hunching and Essek isn't floating has imo better flavor than any other attempt at "characterization" by height that goes against all the official material I've seen (the leggy official art, the merch statues, some lines separately stating that Essek doesn't float that high and other characters look up at him...)

I refuse to believe that Essek is this buff. I elect to believe that that’s armor he borrowed and it’s too big on him.

have you seen the art of him in normal clothes? he's a dorito. I actually did an overlay and the armor matches pretty well

saw some good meta about he's tall and makes himself taller as part of being masc in a matriarchy, tasty thoughts

See, but that works just as well, if not better, with him being short! It’s just a difference of how much you want him to conform to that standard naturally, before he takes any action to shape himself and how others perceive him.

Being 6ft hes certainly not short, but the standard build in all the official kryn art is pretty typical western masculine style so I assume it's the same!

But despite being tall and relatively well built, in comparison to his brother he's still shorter and not as strong. Meanwhile Verin’s plenty smart but still the himbo of the family in an extremely talented family. It's just the comparison

Essek with armor proficiency, real and true

#m9a spoilers #m9 animated #the mighty nein animated #essek thelyss #essek

late or post campaign Caleb finding out Essek has proficiency to cast in armor and watching him throw eighth levels around like it's nothing would be so competency kink of him

picturing it as a perfect post campaign reveal on some mission for the cobalt soul, maybe they have to disguise as guards and caleb's worried because he can't cast in armor, then essek volunteers and caleb gets to watch in awe

caleb taking off the armor off of essek and seeing all the gashes and bleeding wounds and thinks he's an experienced warrior meanwhile the truth is that essek has all those wound because he isn't proficient with heavy armor

caleb: *ja this must be an experienced kryn soldier*

essek: *fucking shit why is verin's armor so big, it's not fair he's taller than me, this armor is uncomfortable, i need a massage after this*

depressedtimtam

he was throwing eighth levels and wizards HAVE to be proficient to cast, so he definitely has armor proficiency, which, hottt
