The healing of a crumbling man.

The Schemers mean so much to me you dont understand

Started working on this back in March and im finally done. Incredibly happy with it.

[oleander-neruim]

I do believe the power couple of Azune x Julien x Ingrid could fix Dol-Makjar and Aráman on its whole by the way.

『Grieving Widow』

In which grief consumes and is more than welcomed.

My last current batch of doset before im back on my bs again [its more azune I have two braincells] until I finish my larger comic so have fun

『Progress Pics Under Cut』

I dont think you understand how much of a story I have created for Doset its actually nuts for a guy with a 10 minute interaction.

[oleander-neruim]

So im now halfway through episode 16 and instead of anything to do with the Seekers I wish to talk about Katt and Tyr

Listen

I do still love and vibe with people's take on them having a pseudo father-daughter kind of relationship

But

Honestly I do just love the idea of them as an actual romantic (or whatever youd call the oddness of this table) relationship and im eating it hard.

Just. Kattigan who doesn't know how to be a person anymore but can't help his goodness and gravitation towards his pack and wants to remember how to be a person again but can't get away from the hurt that overwhelms him

And Tyranny who has never been a human and is new to being a person and wants to be good and wants to have friends but cannot help but hurt anyone who is close to her and her lack of personhood and experience makes it impossible for her to pry the hurt and the happiness any of this foreign humanity brings her.

They're parallels to me and it hurts and I want them to hold each other like theyre keeping the other one from falling apart. I want Kattigan who has no prior connection or predetermined hatred for Tyranny or anyone she's associated with to see her as a person and see how hard she's trying and learn again how to be a person again by holding her hand and walking with her through all this mess that comes with the world she's been brought into. I want Tyranny who is so ignorant and new to tje world be something that shows Kattigan that the world isn't all isolation and sadness because if that were true, why would this being here be so instinctual in wanting bonds and love and care in this world despite the world she was once apart of being so distinctly opposite. She should be a shining contradiction to the cynicism of Aráman because if the pain and hurt this world provides were all it did, she would've instinctually fallen into it instead of wanting so hard to fight against what she is meant to stand for. She should be a shining light of a reminder that despite the hurt and darkness and pain, a person cannot help but be good. Whether theyre good at it or not, despite themselves, they want good so desperately despite everything that screams against it.

I'm babbling at the end I think and I won't proofread but I have strong feelings on the matter currently. Whether is comprehensive or not is up to chance at this point. They need cuddles and smooches I think.

Anyway, "Against the Kitchen Floor" by Will Wood is their song bye

I've been liking the idea of some of the noble lads having like naturally very wavy hair but its usually combed back/held down/using something to keep it more straight or tame so to speak.

My current favorites to impose this on have been Wicander & Doset tbh

Wic's hair fluffing more the longer hes out in the woods a'wanderin and away from his fancy hair products and initially hating it cos it looks messy and it's another reminder about how far from home he is but like with everything thats coming from that distance, slowly growing to like it more and more.

Doset with very nice waves naturally that when left to their own devices, can give a lot more volume than the typical slicked back/neat hair look that several other of the Tachonis' are usually sporting. Much prefering the look of his hair without the product but needing to appear "put together" and "neat" for public appearances but still doing small things to pull from that at least a little. Curls of bangs or side hairs left loose, doing braids in his hair to pull it from the same look, letting them more free when at special gala-like events where people are dressing up anyway. Just small things to break from the constraints and all

[oleander-neruim]

A more dramatized artstyle for our grieving Doset Tachonis.

『Losing himself in unfamiliarity. If one is raised in death and the knowledge that the afterlife awaits anyone ever lost in life, how does that person handle what loss can mean when another's body is burned away from that promise. How does he know what grief or mourning or vengeance or loneliness could truly mean if the first time he's greeted with it it by losing the one person he could care about outside of his family's obligations. Worse so, when that teared away loss happens the moment you're not by his side, the second that you're not their as you so often are.

Does your focus lie on repaying that unfamiliar pain and theft to those who did so to you?

Does your focus lie in remembrance and grieving what was taken from you? In evaluating what caused this, in running away from having to figure out what these feelings are?

Or do you focus on not realizing what love is until its in the form of tragedy?

How does one hold on to a sense of grounding when every thought is pulled into a separate direction.

Perhaps by memorializing your loss by keeping a piece of the charred body of your love apart of you so that he is never away from your side again.』

More of my take in how I want Doset Tachonis to go through a devastating (for someone at least) arch upon discovering sir Seremai's death and following hindrance from their afterlife.

Even if it doesn't happen, its happening in my heart.

You guys ever type a bunch for a character study (not nearly as much as it could be but still) only to have Tumblr flake and declare No Internet despite you being connected?

Ha.

[oleander-neruim]

Yippee!!

Dosets focusing on the important things its fine.

Got inspired by this post from @candescentconfessional and it is unfortunately one of my favorite formats for posts AND I am still on my Doset-related bs so

Honestly would love the universe where Bolaire is just a 30s-40s eccentric upperclass curator who has a love for theater and wears a performance mask where ever he goes.

Just an actual person of a body who has a haunting beauty and oddness to him. I think it would also be fun

Our young widow Tachonis

Black widow, curse of a spouse, omen of a companion

Another note to make

I see Segundus' line of children to be more into the superstition/respect of ritual types in the family. In saying that, I think Doset would find more care in ceremonies related to death, more as though a duty but something he's still gentle and careful with. I'll expound later but included in his collection of parting trinkets, I do have him as keeping the ring he received as part of the marriage with the Duke of Sloak. More in memorial than anything.

[oleander-neruim]

Here we have my take on our Doset Tachonis.

I am unwell about him and I will be babbling about him for as long as im permitted. Consequences of being given no information other than an observed interaction & a few letters. This is my character now sorry.

Close ups, progress and ✨️ Headcanon writing✨️ under the cut

I have many thoughts dont.

I imagine Doset with the signature Tachonis raven-black hair. However, I do also like imposing that he dyes/stains his hair black and his roots are the white/platinum blonde that we've seen currently with the women of the family. This is for Trans reasons and I won't be stopped. Its also an excuse for him to be goth wear mascara and dark eyeliner for the hell of it.

I also like him to have a lavender/pale color of his eyes with a much lighter circle around his pupils. I think purple is good for him.

On the singular point of him carrying a rapier, I have gone into deep thought as to why, if he were a sorcerer. And the main point conclusion of that has come to "what if his magic physically hurts him" and that has manifested into me imagining his magic use to cause his flesh and muscle to peel/ribbon away from his bones. Lower level spells dont have as bad of an effect, but the more powerful the magic, the more of himself frays. It exhausts him from top much use and while he's not opposed to some pain for his sorcery, there's only so much even someone like him can handle. So, becoming proficient with another weapon- a rapier- has given him an alternative to a fight so he's fully reliant on a magic that seems to hate him.

I'll go into piercing headcanons another time, thats for him being fruity and bad a coping.

The last two pictures of him are tests with different hairstyles. Him having very wavy hair normally [flatter than it should be usually cos he doesn't use the proper care products for it], when its down it curls around his face very nice and naturally. When he's out on family business, he'll have it pulled/brushed back more tightly, at least usually keeping it braided along, but more kempt.

That's all for the doset writing for now unless prompted, here are the progress pics.

Some soft times, some indulgence.

Yeah I just wanted to draw Hal relaxing and suddenly the other two appeared idk what to tell you.

[Closeups & Progress pictures under cut]

I do love them so very much.

I do love the schemers

If i had the foresight, I would've drawn Murray somewhere nearby with her boys but we'll just have to go with she's there in spirit.

[oleander-neruim]

Anyway, I'm currently rotating the idea of Doset having to deal with what grief means for someone from a family where part of Death to them is just meeting the dead in the afterlife again. They're meant to have their dead waiting for them, army or otherwise.

But thats not going to happen with Aniko Seremai. It was pointed in that his body being burned did scorch his chances of rising in the Tachonis land of undead or whatever.

How does someone raised with the given rule of death is not the end for someone suddenly having to figure out what it means when thats not true.

He will not have his knight in death.

Losing him in life is bad enough but what levels of grief does he have to wade through to understand or manage how to accept that he is lost in this life and the next.

The idea is just very

Interesting to me

May the Light reach you.

I think I got possessed again sorry guys. The magic of my one pen knows no bounds.
