If you enjoy my art, please consider giving my webcomics a read! Side Quested is a fantasy romcom, emphasys on COM. Seriously.

[wistfulwatcher]

there are three kinds of players

[fuck-off-im-ace]

So Loquatius was introduced as a guy not only changing his face, but also the truth, to benefit his own narrative and the people in power. In the end, he’s the one who gave the truth to the people, and allowed them to be saved, at the cost of those in power.

Nydas was introduced as a merchant, accumulating riches and gold. In the end, he’s the one who stopped the saving of that wealth and materials so that the people could live.

Cerrit was introduced as an overworked detective, constantly planning and thinking, at the cost of knowing his family. In the end, He gave everything he had, left his friends to die just for the chance that maybe he could see his family again.

Patia was introduced as a keeper of many secrets, constantly seeking more knowledge because that is where she gets her influence and power over this city. In the end, she’s the one who gave the knowledge necessary to not only save the world, but also make sure that what happened would forever be remembered.

Zerxus was introduced as a paladin filled with doubts and contempt for a city he refused to call home. In the end, he put his fate in the hands of people he never fully trusted, and gave more than his life to save a city he never really loved. 

And Laerryn, introduced as the one who would doom the city, the world, with ideas bigger than what even the Age of Arcanum could handle. Laerryn, who sacrificed everything for her work, her legacy. In the end, she gave away the work of her life, her legacy, and her life, to make sure that Exandria would survive the Calamity. 

The Calamity was introduced as the day the world was doomed and fell. In the end, the first day of the Calamity was the day Exandria was saved.

The amazing discovery of an ancient relic from the Age of Arcanum, providing significant insight on events directly leading to the Calamity

Blight

[Image Description: Painted fanart of Laerryn Coramar-Seelie. She is standing in the center of the image, holding her hand out to the viewer. Black ichor pours from her hand in the form of the blight spell. Behind her are several scenes, all related to the tree of names in the center. The tree is splitting down the middle, and red leaves spill wildly out of the top. A pair of eyes glow from the middle of the leaves, and near the split is a silhouette of Asmodeus. In the upper left, Evandrin and a toy boat can be seen in the branches. In the lower left, Loquatius and Patia are pierced by the tree. Patia is also being consumed by the tree. On the right, Laerryn and Nydas are seen from behind, looking into a bright light webbed by tree limbs. End description.]

[ID: A tweet answered by Matthew Mercer @.matthewmercer. The original tweet by Kip @.DaydreamDeuce reads: “Excuse me mister @.matthewmercer sir would you ever consider making an Essek playlist because he IS a member of the Nein now… I think that’d be neat. Or maybe tell us ONE song you associate with him? We just miss him 🥺” Matt’s response is “Oh man, maybe one day when I have some time on my hands! For one song… ok, this is gonna be painful, but “Hurt” by NIN.” /end ID]

so, part of the Mighty Nein Origins today shows Luc’s perspective of some of the things that happened to him, filtered through the memory of a traumatized five-year-old, which is fantastic and fascinating. 

But MOSTLY I am just cracking up at this panel here:
