Ever seen an armadillo?

"They are difficult to avoid in Sanctuary. Particularly invasive in multiple regions, including all the places you would rather not find them."

Out of sight but not hearing, Lyndon chuckled: "I thought they were ugly enough you'd like them. That is your preferred aesthetic. Functionally sharp and armored?"

Malthael pinched his lips distastefully. "My preferred aesthetic is less leprosy. Or were you unaware of that joyful fact?"

"I didn't say you had to pet them. You're the one imagining that part. Also, no. I wasn't aware." He paused. "Wait, why do you know that, of all things? Not to question your omnipotent, over-stuffed cranium, but ... armadillos?"

"They nest in old logs."

"Yes, and you nest in a home most of the time. What about it?"

"Very old, very large, hollow logs."

"...Except when you're moonlighting as a tramp, I suppose...was it at least cute?"'

"I did not give it much thought at the time."

At the time, it had been dark and he had been somewhat freshly made mortal. All he had been able to see was two glowing eyes in the dark, followed by a shrieking, angry armadillo shaped silhouette. He hadn't even known it was an armadillo until he had skewered it defensively and brought it to back to Salvos' church for proper identification.

The priest's surprised yelp had been the first indication something was amiss. The second was his vexed lecture on all the plagues carried by armored mammals. The third was his insistence that Malthael sleep in the abandoned cellar until they could confirm he hadn't become a carrier.

"Ah." Lyndon replied, eventually, as if sensing Malthael's wide-eyed, distracted thoughts from the other room. "I ah ... I see. Forget I asked."

Some childhood headcanons for the jewels? And for the gifted child troop-

As a child, Diamond was such a teacher's pet in their classes. And they were called "a pleasure to have in class".

Sapphire was the kid that knew everyone in the class and would talk. to. everyone.

Ruby started playing the piano and violin when she was four and was soloing in concerts by the age of seven.

Amethyst was known as the person you went to if you needed anything. She knew what was going on with everyone and she would tell you. For a price.

Emerald was homeschool until the age of eleven, when his family moved to America. When he got there, he learned that his education, while sporadic and at the whims of his parents and older brothers, was much more thorough and advanced than that of his peers.

In middle school, Amber set a new school record for number of detentions as well as ISS's (in school suspensions).

Carnelian took advanced classes up through junior high but switched to regular classes in high school due to pressure from his friend group.

Hugo was, like Diamond, a pleasure to have in class, and he was always the first one a teacher would go to if they needed any help.

Quinn was that kid who the other kids always thought was up to something but they could never catch them or prove anything and who the teachers absolutely adored.

Mal had a very uneven education due to the constant moving around but they always picked up new skills easily and made new friends quickly.

Z’skayr canonically killed a man in order to revive Dr. Viktor in Omniverse.

I mean how else are your henchmen supposed to know that you need them. Besides, Zs'Skayr only tolerates one bodysnatcher around here and that's himself.

Hey! I have just learned about your dabihawks kid saisho and am really looking forward to seeing more of your art with him in it! Just wondering tho, what is Sai's relationship with his siblings and does he have any favorites or a sibling that he is close to? Also, how did he find dabi and hawks and what was their reaction when he told them that he was their son who they thought that died? When Sai came and met his siblings who was the first one up to greet their brother? Was it all of them? Sorry, i just have a lot of questions about this lovechild of yours hes so interesting and i hope i can see more of him in your arts in the near future! thanks so much, have a good day or night!

It honestly makes me so happy ya’ll are interested in Sai (sobs into hands) <3

Sai is still getting to know his siblings, so he doesn’t really have a favorite. he wants to be fair with each of them. He also went from 0 family to a HUGE family so he is just like *mind blown*

Sai actually met one of his brothers, unknowingly, which I will not disclose the details in case their creator and I want to make that into a little story or I get the ok from them :P I imagine it to be one of my favorite interactions LOL man, I can’t even tag the creator cuz it will give it away LOL

When Sai found out Dabi and Hawks were his parents he didn’t approach him because he was under the impression he was unwanted (Damn you Commission! shakes fist*). So he always just kept up to date on them from a distance. He wasn’t aware of all the siblings though LOL.

It was actually Hawks that met Saisho first... I’m planning on making a little comic part for that so I won’t list the details. But he recognized him from the necklace Hawks placed around him as a baby (since he didn’t have wings, Hawks wanted a feather near him)....I’ll include that image riigghttt.....here :)
