(over?)analyzing Yasha rq

/!\ some spoilers for TNC and TES

Been trying to reread The Night Compass and I noticed the repeated descriptions of Yasha as cunning/calculating everything he says and does to go his way or have the most impact. Then when Barclay reminds him of that one scene with Yasha saving Barclay in the Desert I realized that for that scenario to align with Yasha's otherwise built up character/how he acts, he either

1 ) CALCULATED in the SPLIT SECOND decision time he had, that he could save Barclay from the magically-induced sinkhole AND brush it off as a trick to Audrian so he wasn't suspicious of him being too friendly with the enemy or something

2 ) For once he DIDN'T think things through when he went to save Barclay, and the "you tricked me!" Was his "oh shoot I screwed up (but not really) but Audrian is gonna be so suspicious what do I say to cover this up quick-"

Or maybe Audrian meant that to happen (he sure doesn't seem stupid) and let Yasha save him to give Barclay more to lay awake about and overthink to maybe end up joining them lol

I like the idea that Audrian DIDN'T plan that though, because the implications for Yasha's character...

And in TNC the "I always do the right thing" and Barclay's "no, you don't. But I think you try to" Oh my GOSHHHH-

Also random unrelated side note, as I was re-reading, I realized I related to Barclay quite a bit (idk what that says about me exactly lol) and out of curiosity I made basically a freaking like- Venn diagram to compare/contrast and let's just say that middle section was surprisingly full lol. I am the Barclay Thorne ever apparently lol

[frosty-violet]

More animatic teasers hehehe >:)

Grinded my way through 22 frames since my last update but the problem is I'm bad at estimating and the total went up lol- we're now at 33 out of something like 70-75 (help) but hey that's like half way, almost!! we are COOKING-!!!

If you've read TNC you can probably start to guess what scene animatic this is about... perchance... (a good bit of the animatic is gonna be pretty close to the book action-wise! Not exactly word for word, but this frame definitely is. Probably gonna include some direct quotes in the instrumental of the song too)

Barclay is looking forward in the frame before this and took a step back, it highkey looks like he's looking at Root here because he's scared of him, but he's just looking behind him because he's looking to see what he bumped into lol

Every time I draw Yasha his hair gets fluffier... I am not upset with this development actually haha

[frosty-violet]

So MCD, huh...

(zoomed versions of individual panels under cut)

So I've been watching Diaries (for the first time mind you- yes I'm a decade late this is fine-) and Laurence has already been my favorite character so far.

But oh my Irene. They gave him a savior complex? With THAT set of trauma, romantic feelings, occupation, and general emotional turmoil??!

Good GRAVY dude!!?

So uhhh this drawing happened (why do all my experimental poses and expressions that end up going really hard come from Aphmau fanart lately lol) and now I love him even more let me hug that man he needs a break GAHHH-

His crashout has been living rent free in my head all day help. The way he responded also lowkey reminds me of the Great Gatsby's "can't change the past? Why of course you can!" It's the same mentality (do you see it?? Or am I delusional lolol)

From this episode btw (starting at 4:12)

I saw someone draw him with pointed ears as like a post-nether thing and I thought it was cool so I added that too lol. I was gonna give his eyes a bit of red too but I didn't wanna screw up and not be able to erase it sighhh... and it is NOTT showing up well in the photo for some reason but I SWEARRR I shaded Aphmau's skin gang! I know she is not white!! Please don't come at me ty!!)

[frosty-violet]

Ran + Jackie doodles from last year! :D

Love them <3 I need to reread Knifetrick sometime...

[frosty-violet]

Thing I drew with a bunch of characters and motifs from some of my favorite books, series, or fics I've read over the years! Explanation of what's what and their respective books + authors are under the cut! I know at least one or two of these fandoms is the kind with a lot of drama, but know that I don't keep track of that stuff, I just enjoy the story and/or characters! Don't come after me thank you!!

I'm also probably not going to tag every single book that appears here since this is a multi-fandom piece (it might be confusing for someone recommended it who's only in one of these), some of the books are represented only by a small object in a corner, and some of these are so small they highkey probably don't have tags lol

Starting at the top, going left to right:

-The cube with symbols on its sides and light emitting from it is that thingy from The Dragon Prince (comics and series) that I forgot the name of lol

-Dude with the wand and scarf is Harry Potter (by JK Rowling)

-The little fairy (Tinker Bell) and the thimble are from Bleakwatch Chronicles: Tinker Bell and the Lost City by Zack Loran Clark

-The tabby cat is supposed to be Rusty from Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter

-The creature next to Rusty is supposed to be a fox with a little bit of magic coming from his paws and a rose on his hind leg, that's Siffrin from the Foxcraft series by Inbali Iserles

-The dragon with horrible wing anatomy (lol) is Qibli from Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland, and the Eye of Onyx is above him, with another one of his earrings below him (idk I think I was trying to fill space lol)

-The spaceship and sea slug looking thing (Doomslug) are from the Skyward series by Brandon Sanderson

-Going to the 2nd row of characters, Barclay and Yasha from the Wilderlore series by Amanda Foody are on the far left

-To the right and down a bit from them are Mez (panther), Gogi (monkey), Rumi (frog), and Lima (bat) from the Lost Rainforest series by Eliot Schrefer. the circle to the right of them is the "lens", a plot relevant piece of glass lol

-To their right and up a little is Xanthous (elf looking guy with fire for hair) from the Tale of Magic prequel trilogy and Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer. The little fire wisp to his left also goes with him

-Onto the next row! down and on the far left is a lightning bolt, Poseidon's trident, the pen/sword "Riptide", and Percy Jackson from Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan (I drew Percy like he is in the series because I did an oopsie and watched the first episode of that before I read the first book and now that's how I see him in my head oh well- also I drew his hair so light he looks bald sorry about that haha)

-Right below the trident is an Applin (from pokemon) which represents all of the Kieran fics I've ever read because I love that little guy (Kieran is from pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Teal Mask + Indigo Disk)

-Right of Applin is Ran and Jackie from Bishop's Knife Trick by bovinedaemon on ao3 (peak!!) the flowers to their right as well as the potion, note, and knife above them go with them/their story as well

-To their right and up a bit is Prince Jaron from the Ascendance Series by Jennifer A. Nielsen rolling a coin over his knuckles

-Right below Jaron are Peter Pan's hat (from the original Peter Pan book by J. M. Barrie) and the sun from Disney's Tangled (representing the Twisted Tale "What Once Was Mine" by Liz Braswell)

-Down to the final row! We have Leo + Stargirl from Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

-The handheld radio/walkie talkie and can of peaches to their right represents All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

-To the right of that is Howl and his castle from Howl's Moving Castle

-To the right of that, the final one is Elsa from Disney's Frozen, representing the Twisted Tale "Conceal, Don't Feel" by Jen Calonita

[frosty-violet]

I MIGHT be cooking-!!

Remember when I mentioned an animatic... here's a frame!! in case I don't finish for 2378 million years bc I'm a freaking perfectionist and I'm trying to make them recognizable *explodes* (11/~60 ish frames done so far tho!!)

This is the apprentices spending time together at the Sea btw :3 (and dw this is the one instance of fluff in the entire animatic the rest is Barclay and Yasha angst because their suffering fuels me /silly)

I also wanted to share this bit bc I spent too long on it and I'm too proud of it, is too cool to only appear for like three seconds-!!! (I literally never do shading/lighting idk what has possessed me for this lol) Don't even know HOW long it took because my animating software doesn't tell me and I forgor to look at the clock lol

RAHHH LOOK AT THEMMM THEY'RE SO SQUISHABLE AAAAAA-!! I need to fixate on this fandom more often what am I ON gang?!

[frosty-violet]

Drawing of my OC/sona Violetripple that I'm really proud of! :3

Lyrics are from "Where I Go" by Lydia the Bard

[frosty-violet]

Wilderlore Art Dump!!

My other Wilderlore doodles from the past two years bc I realized I can actually share those lol (help the fixation is returning you can tell bc I made more that one post in a day that never happens lol)

^ Barclay with some lyrics from "Dog Days are Over" by Florence and the Machines. Drew this one this past Halloween!

^ TNC doodle from Inktober 2024 (help that was so long ago this is so crustyyy) The word was "Expedition" if my handwriting is illegible haha.. Tadg looks so sickly what did I do to him lol. This is supposed to be (left to right) Root (you can see like half of him), Barclay, Viola + Mitsi, Tadg, Klava, Runa, and Goath

^ Little Barclay and Yasha from earlier this year as part of a larger page with characters and things from all of my favorite books/book series :)

An old 2024 WIP that maybe I'll finish one day (?) no promises lol. Barclay's arm and Yasha's hair look so weirddd ewww and you can still see my references in the corner pfff- It was supposed to be from Weeping Tide when the guys were all living in a room together. This is supposed to be Yasha waking up in the middle of the night to look at the other two (I only drew Barclay lol) and thinking about how he 'has to' betray them soon. Yayyy angst!!! :confetti: They're in two different beds btw I hope the perspective does that justice lol.

[frosty-violet]

I WAS JUST MADE AWARE THAT THEY HAVE CANON BIRTHDAYS!!?

How long has this been a thing??? And Barclay's was just the other day?! HELLO??!!

*throws birthday art at you*

He is now being given many doggo kisses by the bestest boy Root <33 (also the best wolf I've drawn in a hot minute let's gooo)

it took me so long to figure out this guys stupid man bun grahhh-- also someone please notice that I made him dirty his clothes and arm have dirt on them he's so smelly look at this doofus /silly

[frosty-violet]

Get Catified >:]

Been collecting my doodles from throughout the year and found this one I totally forgot I did of Marinette and Adrien but kitties lol (this is a recurring theme it somehow happened at least once every year for the past three years and I'm not even doing it on purpose??? They just kind of appear??)

She looks so uncomfortable lol (get that girl some therapy)

Also does anyone ever think about how both "Miraculous Ladybug" and "Major League Baseball" have the same acronym or is that just me?

[frosty-violet]

Kawaii Chan!! :D

This is my favorite outfit of hers to draw, it's very pretty! :3 I'm so proud of how the eyes actually look kind of cat-like! yayayyy!!!

Been experimenting with characters that have animal ears on people bodies recently bc for some reason that was not working with my style like it used to but I figured it out now :D

ignore the torn paper in the corner lol

[frosty-violet]

Wilderlore!! :D

kind of an old drawing (help one of Tadg's hands is backwards and what on Earth are Barclay's arms doing uhhhh) but I rediscovered this today and I figured since the still living (and somewhat content starved) part of the Wilderlore fandom is on here I should share lol

It's the scene from Weeping Tide where Toadles randomly appears in their room and jumpscares Tadg hehehe

When I actually get the new book (which may be much later RIP) I will probably fixate again and then there will be more...

theyre so silly and full of angst... how could I not? lol

also might have an animatic storyboard WIP about the Night Compass, but idk if that'll ever finish we'll see...

[frosty-violet]

More Puyo doodles!!

me trying to figure out how to draw Ecolo lol

(ignore how bad Carbuncle looks lol I didn't use a ref)

[frosty-violet]

Zane Cat!!

That time I made Zane Ro'Meave into a kitty...

(the heart on the rear is 100% a my little pony cutiemark reference (bc ofc he would have one) and it's been a few months since I drew this but I think the weird creature in the top right was supposed to be a horse lol)

[frosty-violet]

Trying very hard to find all the pieces to put my lego set of Lloyd's dragon mech from the Ninjago movie back together, and I officially hate these little stinkers

Like you don't know how long it took me to find just TWO OF THESE among an entire basements worth of legos. They're apparently just barely not old or common enough that we have just a bag of them lying around unlike almost every other normal lego so I had to look up other sets that had them and yoink them from the other set >:(

It wouldn't be so annoying if it was like a stud or something and I could just pick a different color and deal with it. Noooo it had to be this one little technic piece with zero alternate versions gahhhh

[frosty-violet]

Kris doodle :)
