So I absolutely could not stop thinking about the Veilguard Live the other day where Alex Jordan was trying to show Nick Boraine an Emmrich plushie. Right as I'm going to bed is ofc when the urge to scribble it down with actual Laird and Emmrich bit me 😭

This damn fandom has been a blessing

With @thefadediscordserver calendar finally hot off the presses, I'm finally able to share this piece. What I'm considering my magnum opus, just in time to close out this year.

To have been a part of this experience is, for want of better, more elaborate phrasing, a life changer. And I couldn't be more grateful than I am now for the friends that encouraged me, welcomed me, and wanted me to be part of this magnificent community collaboration. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this project than @scuttlingcrab !!!

I am leaving this year with seldom few the same people I entered it with. Emmrich's fandom found me amongst the lot I thought I was content with and said, "you are so much more than this." It costed me people and spaces I thought I would be in my life forever. It costed me my comfort zone and my resignation to the quiet edge of every social circle. But for everything I lost this year, this fandom has replaced it and rebuilt so much more wonderful things in the gaps. They revived barren soil and poisoned wells the past had long cursed anything to thrive in my heart. People who barely knew me if at all have cheered me on simply bc I was there. I've made friends who challenge me, inspire me, comfort, and genuinely want me in their life for no real reason or expectations... just for the vibe I bring to the function or something like that. I'll never wrap my head around what makes me likeable to them, but by the Allfather do I want to give them my best every day. Kintsugi would be so lucky to hold a candle to beauty and healing all these amazing people have brought into my life.

This painting wouldn't exist without any of them. Maybe it's a good one, maybe it isn't. But I have the courage to create and share my work again because of this incredible fandom. And because of Emmrich. I hope Nick and Sylvia know what an incredible thing they've created via just one fictional man. I have my spark back.

I could tag a million names, all deserving of the love and due credit for being so good to me. I'm so grateful to my Cryptlings of The Fade.

@deny-the-issue @ermagerdperpehs @sofiemystique you three were the first. Every day, you three inspire and stand beside me and make me want to be a better friend, artist, mod, and person. You all have taught me what friends should really look like and that my own nagging self esteem and the expectations others hold of me doesn't disqualify me from enjoying the good life has to offer or the way I live it. This painting was for the calendar, but it's also for you. There is a word amongst the Norse vocab that refers to a badass. A warrior who is reckless and free spirited but shows great compassion and honour and is one of the most loyal of kin in someone's life. It's one of the highest compliments of the old sagas. The word is "Drengr." You three are my drengr. Thank you for everything this year. I love you guys more than I can possibly say. As I live and breathe that will never change. 💙

Listen sometimes you just get The Fluff Zoomies™ and need to paint some nose boops, y'know?

I keep forgetting to bloody post this piece but I was tickled beyond belief to be @lancelotmylove's secret santa for the fade discord server's first holiday event! Naturally, some soft lighting and books in bed were in order for Theodore and Emmrich. 🥰
