Back from my hiatus to drop this absolute banger of a post

[umberpath]

My friend and I were discussing some of our favourite characters: Roui from The Crown of Leaves and Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives, and how they compare and contrast. We got the idea to swap their species and I just had to draw it right away :-]

It's not a full AU per se, more like a thought experiment of them swapping universes. More thoughts below:

Jon is a parban sahash with a small hint of maroosh. He probably dislikes suddenly being a sahash at first, but I imagine he'd grow to tolerate it and eventually get neutrally comfortable. Being surrounded by mystics all day would drive him insane, though it might fascinate him all the same.

We think Roui would probably hate being a human, but at least he would survive The Horrors! With the way he handled the Slough it's safe to say he'd be able to handle things. I can picture him looking around the archives and asking a lot of questions haha. I think being in the archives would also give him that little pang of longing for Nouri again.
