Anatomy was an important study at the Alchemists’ Guild, owing to the ancient theory that the human body represented a microcosm of the universe, although when you saw one opened up it was hard to imagine which part of the universe was small and purple and went blomp-blomp when you prodded it.

Sure I lost my impenetrable defense, immortality, and infinite gold after firing my alchemist, but they were making too much noise anyway.

Me when Belikov mentioned alchemists in the finale:
I guess they plan to make them even worse and more dangerous than in the books, and I AM HERE FOR IT
Fingers crossed we get season 2🙌🙌🙌 and season 3 and season 4

There were two signs of a good alchemist: the Athletic and the Intellectual. A good alchemist of the first sort was someone who could leap over the bench and be on the far side of a safely thick wall in three seconds, and a good alchemist of the second sort was someone who knew exactly when to do this.

Jaysight ♧ They/She/It ♧ Squall Clowder's Alchemist
designed by Vinnocent on th
first official oc post yayay!! exited to ramble abt the silly lil guys in my head :○]
rambles + more info under the cut
Squall Clowder's Alchemist, a specialized role unique to the clowder. Essentially Healer adjacent, although they are also required to experiment more with different herb combinations for different purposes (it's a notable that alchemists in their history have been either wildly successful or horrible tragedies)
The Healer role is entirely separate from the Cleric (dabbling in omens + communicating with the Stars etc etc) so it's wildly frustrating that the stars are dodging around the clerics to chat with Squall's pissed off alchemist
she has her grandpa's side burns. I'm sure that won't an issue later on
*ignoring the blindingly bright star cat in the corner of its den* so do you think we'll be needing more poppy seeds or-?
they r . so so SO tired of clowder drama
probably besties w its cousin turtlefrost
