By how it was described in the novels (not features in screencaps) it really felt like it was a brutal bloodbath when they got into the Keep of Saint Emmanuel. Could they possibly have declared/announced this earlier in the battle? Maybe not, maybe there's logistical reasoning behind it. Nonetheless, while I didn't feel so much for the mass suicides at the end of the battle (unfortunately), I did get the sense that the battle preceding was bloodier than its manga counterpart. Sometimes I do have to wonder things like this.
Arslan you are so funny.
JEBDIDHDISH GUISCARD?!
Why... did you want to know, Guiscard? Does the truth matter? The truth is what you paint it as, no? True or no, you can use it for propaganda, right?
God I sound like Andragoras. Ew.
I must say that Guiscard is a character I don't really... get.
I kinda wanna know how these things are used... I suppose it doesn't matter, the description is just there for Vibes, but still.
I want the deets, Tanaka.
“these words shone with a great light” is such an ironic description, I'm not gonna lie.
So this is where Parsians thought Rukhnabad came from! Taking notes, taking notes... (I have AU Thoughts™ but not enough brain juice to elaborate immediately, maybe if somebody asks about it...)
@innerchorus Here's your blorbo!
The sketches from volume 18
The Heroic Legend of Arslan German Edition, art by Hiromu Arakawa.
I had a strange dream last night. Just imagine, you have to entertain so many guests while you have stolen a secret paper plan/map ( idk what it was exactly) from Guiscard !!! and hid it in your clothes and also try not to get caught by the security camera. Fine fine...
MAN. GUISCARD AND SECURITY CAMERA. WHAT.
"this is my comfort character"
and this is a character who never knew happiness, suffered all his life and then died
Okay so I will confess that after rereading Vol. 18 I concocted a comforting little AU in which Gurgin somehow didn't die from getting a sword through his throat and is currently Guiscard's prisoner and is about to be handed over to Team Arslan (this is... very unrealistic, I know, but it allows me to enjoy a little time in limbo where I can dream, and this way we could get some Farangis backstory too).
(I showed my partner Chapter 109 and asked him "Do you think he survived?" and he said "I think he got better" lmao. I don't, not really, but I've enjoyed thinking about this 'what if' anyway.)
Guiscard Enguerrand - Incorrigible Roué
White Gardenia
Last one of the shitpost portrait series, for now. A wonderful duskwight patissier with near-inexhaustible patience and an overly lenient sense of humor. He gets chewed up nearly as often as his desserts.
Buckle up...
Confession
Don't believe any pretty 'truths' offered freely. Only those dragged from bloodied lips.
