Susan was sensible. It was, she knew, a major character flaw. It did not make you popular, or cheerful, and--this seemed to her to be the most unfair bit--it didn't even make you right.

finally started getting through resident evil 9. the only whiplash stronger than switching between grace and leon’s povs is me jumping from “I’M LITERALLY LEON” to “I’M LITERALLY DELUSIONAL”

Rayllum nightmare parallels my beloved.

Honestly though, I love the difference in these two scenarios.

In TTM we have Rayla, paranoid and exhausted, haunted by dreams of Viren taking away her loved ones. She relays these fears to Callum, who tries to reassure her that Viren is dead and there’s noting to worry about. Rayla pushes back with what is really a reasonable concern. In a world of magic and dragons, is it really that far fetched to think Viren might have found some way to survive the fall off the Storm Spire? (And , in light of Claudia’s ability to fly via dark magic in Arc 2, it really doesn’t look like implausible a concern.)

Callum is fourteen though, in way over his depth and unable to convince Rayla that her fears are unfounded.

Ultimately, her concern for her loved ones results in her making the decision to deceive Callum and set off on her own in search of Viren.

Two years later, the scenario is revered.

Callum is the one raving about sleepwalking, waking Rayla suddenly in the middle of the night. She does initially try and convince him that he just had a dream (a pretty reasonable assumption), but once Callum insists what he experienced was real, Rayla reassures him that she believes him.

She supports him in his efforts to avoid further possession and goes on a mission to destroy the pearl with him.

It’s interesting seeing how a relatively similar scenario is dealt with differently, given the benefit of age and maturity.

Sometimes I do think about the different ways Hypno was about Rainbow in TSS and SSO

Tss Hypno:Rainbow is my only friend and he understands me better than anyone else. I want to protect this world and the afterlife for him. He is my entire universe and I can't wait to be with him for eternity.

Sso Hypno:I hope Rainbow gets strong enough to beat me up I think that'd be really exciting 0D

art dump <3.

My lil noblesse area ( pic2,6) has more fanart ill post them someday. Also nvm duckie Rai I have a duck frankenstein too,, They’ll get their own post probably. I made Duck rais wing, hair & painted his face n clothes.

Back to the art though.. a lot of these are fairly old lmao third pic rai was from when the anime was airing. the most recent are 1&4 and the oil painting. The others are from last year/2023/2022

The oil painting i think was meant to be like back when Franken broke into lukedonia. The sketch for Rais half and Frankensteins half were different but I didnt have the choice to do two paintings to i combined the ideas <3

Rais half is suppose to be him yearning for life beyond lukedonia. Take Frankenstein as more a representation of humanity & how truly far pre canon rai was from achieving his wants bc of societal pressure, his responsibility etc. Frankenstein reps also how detached nobles r from humanity andd something something how lost he was something.. The fish was .. mainly a nod to canon than anything else but it can symbolize freedom, adding to how Rais completely trapped by his responsibilities.

The oil painting was purely for practice so I wasn’t thinking tooo hard, more on trying to not fight w the paint. Actually all but 3rd pic and that watercolour one are style practices lol.

Third pic was the first time I drew rai so it’s dear 2 me. I think the first noblesse character I drew was raskreia but idk where that is </3 Her or Takeo.

I tried to reason with myself but found myself very unreasonable. -- Michael Lipsey
