did more F&S writings wherein ellard makes ilum confront his Feelings™ so here's an excerpt of that because I really don't talk about their weird reluctant friendship enough.

Ilum sat up straight, sobering. “Wait, why the hell am I telling you this?”

“It’s either you trauma dump about your romantic woes or I turn into a wolf without the distraction. Take your pick.”

Ilum rolled his eyes. “I hate you.”

“You don’t.”

“I do. Genuinely.”

“You’ll hate me more if I Change,” I pointed out. “For real, I’m an annoying dog. I may even get the zoomies.”

 “Helena is stronger than every asshole here for loving you,” Ilum said in a long-suffering manner. 

“She’s stronger than you in a lot of other ways too,” I said. “For one, she doesn’t have two different situationships going on at once.”

“Kithara is in a committed relationship with a girl who is basically a sister to me,” said Ilum, grimacing a bit. “We don’t have a situationship. Actually, my biggest problem regarding that is having to reconcile with the fact that I’ve been a third wheel for the last several years of my life. And because of your dumb ass I’m forced to think about what they did last night and what they might be doing right now. So thanks.”

“You’re welcome.”

He grumbled something unintelligible and telekinetically tossed another piece of wood into the fire. The pile was right next to him. It would have cost zero effort to just do it manually. He was just showing off.

Later that night:

“I hate all three of you, actually,” said Ilum. He looked to the floor where shreds of the lantern lay on the cobblestone. “Also, this is definitely littering.”

“Ellard killed ducks as a child,” Charity said. “It’s like he doesn’t even care about the ecosystem.”

“I didn’t kill ducks!”

“Also, I blew the lantern up,” I added. “I’d appreciate you not to take that credit away from me.”

“God, I love you,” said Ellard.

If anyone has ever wondered why Ilum's hair length varies depending on the drawing haha. Fun fact, it grows out in book 3 because his life gets so chaotic he just doesn't bother cutting it but then he's like "wait this is a look" and keeps it. (Also Charity told him she likes it like that and he's a simp first and a person second so who is he to disagree)

The Avril earrings one was probably the most important because lord knows I can never remember which piercings she has. Post canon she does her septum and gets an undercut and lots of tattoos but for now she's repping this.

And Ellard. My special lil wolf boy. My life is hell because I'm notoriously bad at drawing animals but if I want to make this a comic like I plan to then I NEED TO GET GOOD AT THEM because there are. A lot of wolves. The story is about wolves. I do love drawing the werewolf characters half-transformed though! The glowy gold eyes are fun!
