I noticed like hey I could share her art here too that my dear girlfriend @jigengoemon did. She is so amazing... Her MC Agasthya (aka Gazzie) is also something to keep eye on. Best you can find her is from her IG From Punchie with love ❤

I also have rp twitter for Iridal what is quite not active right now but I wish to keep her alive and keep developing her to direction I like. Her main route is Julian.

"I tell you the truth now because I don't want you to reproach me with it later. Marry me, and you marry darkness." His finger wound the strand of hair tighter and tighter, drawing her nearer and nearer. His words and the serious tone in which he spoke them made her heart falter painfully, but the pain was sweet and exciting. The darkness that hung over him- dark rumors, dark words spoken about him among the community of mysteriarchs-was exciting too.

Oh girl, no

Hi

Welcome to the Home of Iridal, he’s more then welcome to answer some questions that you might have. He might be a bit shy to start off with but after some time, he’ll open up and talk more.

Dragon Wing: Chapter 49

And now, the chapter where Hugh suddenly turns into a different character for basically the rest of the book. I thought there was some sufficient build-up to him deciding "oh well I'm spelled by Bane sucks but I'll live with it", but the falling in love with Iridal thing feels out of nowhere. Maybe if I excuse it with magic, because this easily reads as someone coming under the influence of a spell (emphasis mine):

"Her eyes. Hugh was mesmerized by her eyes. They were large and deeply set, the irises every color of the rainbow-- a glistening spectrum surrounding the black pupils that shifted and changed as the light struck them."

"Do you hear me?" she demanded.

Hugh hadn't really. Something about danger.

I was totally into Iridal's eyes when I first read this... possibly because I was a twelve-year old girl and that's stereotypically what a twelve-year old girl likes, right? Anyway-- Jarre was earlier "mesmerized" by Haplo's eyes and the Sartan runes leading to the mausoleum.

Not going to dig into this observation since this would get too serious, but I'll note that there are numerous domestic abuse dynamics in Sinistrad and Iridal's relationship.

Hugh and Iridal, though... what.
