Something I've been meaning to ask is if you have any tips on drawing Ephemer's hair. It's something I can't seem to figure out. 😅

Refs! Look at refs first and foremost!! Then practice. Then improvise/stylize! Once you understand how the overall structure works, you can get pretty creative with it while still making it look like him, y’know?

(I personally refer to his sprite and Nomura’s sketches the most, but I try to incorporate parts from his 3d model that I love)

I’ve seen Ephs with lots of curls, Ephs with more wispier hair emulating Shiro Amano’s style, even Ephs with fluffy, marshmallow-like hair with no sharp points, so don’t be afraid to keep trying things out and adding personal flair until it feels right to you!

Thank you, @crystaltikal ! :D

That old artwork of the reunion after the Keyblade War reminded me of an old theory I had, that the reason the protagonist is the only one to survive the War is because as far as we're shown, they only ever fight in self-defense during the War.

oh yeah, I can definitely see that. In the cutscenes, they really only fight the foretellers because they were approached/challenged first. If we take that at face value that they never fought any fellow wielders then yeah, you could say they really only fought in self defence and did their best to stay out of the conflicts around them

For the Daybreak Town situation poll, I picked combination.

My headcanoning is that every Wielder got their own suite, with siblings having the option to share, sorted into neighborhoods by Union.

Each suite has a private restroom, but for bathing it's a communal bathhouse, with a mix of private shower stalls and a Roman bath area staffed by a lifeguard Moogle.

There'd be one per neighborhood, and perhaps a smaller, less fancy one in the neutral area of town.

As for how the water is heated, I think it'd depend on each Foreteller's style. Master Ava for example would have magically heated water in the Vulpes bathhouse, while Master Aced would have a more Victorian Era scientific means of heating the water in the Ursus bathhouse.

(I've thought about the housing before, but this is my first time thinking about the bathing. 😅)

Very cool ideas!! The idea of a Moogle lifeguard got me laughing. I can only imagine how well that might go

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of evenings at the bathhouses after missions being a nice way for wielders to relax and hang out, way before the war at least

If we're asking Charis questions: What's been your favorite world to explore (Scala doesn't count, haha)?

(combining these two! @crystaltikal )

“I love visiting and exploring every world! But there’s one that’s pretty special to me. Plus, it’s really beautiful! It doesn’t seem like it’s completely reformed quite yet, but I still like coming back every now and then to have a look around.”

“It’s called Atlantis. Maybe you’ve heard of it?”

The hostage one reminded me of an old thought I had around the time of the finale about how if the Darknesses had just calmed down and thought about things, there might have been enough time for one of them to hop into Player and reopen that gate. (Not sure if possession is actually that simple.) And then I made this for some reason because I thought it'd be funny. 😅

lmaoo?? Darkness really could’ve thrown everyone for a loop with this

Since I saw you've heard the Missing Link soundtrack, I was wondering if it was just me who heard the Daybreak Town theme in the Changing Clothes menu theme?

yup, it’s a new rendition of Wake Up, World to pay homage to khux :’)

Chirithy for that character bingo?
