after their loss in battle city, two former champions take a moment to confide in each other.
i've always wondered how a relationship between these two would pan out behind the scenes... would they already consider themselves "friends" once battle city rolls around, or still just fellow duelists? either way, weevil doesn't seem to care much for personal space.
bonus close-up and sketch under the cut:
(the emote i drew beside them really speaks for itself)

I just love going on pinterest and randomly stumbling over OC posts from fandoms im browsing in. I love love love love love our universal wish of being in the story and influencing it meaningfully. I can't believe this absolutely loveletter to the story you want to participate in is seen as cringe.
So shoutout to everyone with OC's in any fandom ever. Keep going! Make the parents that are missing in the story or the children you'd like to see, give that character(s) kisses because you think they deserve them, smack that bad guy in the face. Make them overpowered and change the trajectory of canon or make them small and barely interact with the main story.
Just go off, I love every effort and everything you do, and you, for doing it.

okay so people new to tumblr need to learn something real quick: tumblr is not instagram or twitter or tiktok and on this website we do not steal work from artists to gain our following, we reblog only from the artist and if we do repost, we make sure that we have very clear consent from the artist to do so and that we credit and link them in the description.
tumblr is one of the few remaining platforms where plagiarizing is not a huge issue. let’s please not make it one.
when you repost art, you are stealing that attention from the artist and whether you mean to or not, you are being deceitful and many people will believe that the art you are reposting is yours and will follow you instead of the actual artist who spent hours on the piece just for someone else to take credit by omission. also putting ‘not my art’ in the tags is not enough. if you can’t credit, don’t repost.
artists are already afraid to post their art because of this behavior becoming more and more common on the internet. if you enjoy art, please stop doing this, not just on tumblr but in general.
internet popularity cannot be worth it for how devastating this behavior is to artists.

Gortash is an Artificer
Some people doubt this, and those people do not see the light. One angle I've seen is that he just steals other's schematics, but let's be real. If you're not stealing or finessing into other artificer houses' schematics, you're not an artificer.
Two, there's documents that clearly comment about additions to those schematics in Gortash's writing. It takes knowledge to alter those schematics, let alone comprehend them.
AND ANOTHER THING, there's no reason for a warlock (and by extension a devil patron) to be interested in a dirt poor kid with shitty parents. Unless that kid happens to be good at something, and there's multiple times where his mom talks about how he was a smart kid that was too smart for his own good.
If I had to hazard a guess, parents that talk like that probably didn't like that he was more interested in artifice than shoe making, didn't like that he was smarter than them in anything, and didn't like the 'mess' or 'time wasted' on pulling apart and putting together little machines.
Now, with my rant done, here's some bonus HC broth I've been making specifically about Gortash.
He absolutely snuck into the Hall of Wonders all the time as a kid, just to look at everything. There might have even been a worker there who let him sneak in cause Enver just looked so damn excited every time.
Man doesn't have a crossbow, fuck that. He has a gun/enhanced arcane focus, Larian just didn't have time for artificer stuff yet we're just not ready for it.
In case anyone hasn't noticed yet, he likes artifice because they're machines and can't turn on him. He literally builds them; they can't lie and choose to hurt him, they can't leave for something better, they are the ultimate barrier between him and anyone else.
The majority of his knowledge came from his time in the House of Hope, or maybe elsewhere in the Hells. It's why the Steel Watch have infernal engines.
Durge Bonus:
I've got a little bit in mind for the first fic where Jack (Durge) and Gortash meet, and Jack asks to use his knife. He throws it back at Gortash to give it back, but instead of stabbing his leg, it just comes back to Gortash's hand. Returning Weapon, not RAW, but rule of cool, baby. Because again, Enver's machines never hurt him.
Jack often wonders if he'll find metal in Gortash if he digs around in his body enough. Even though he knows it's probably not true, his instincts tell him it'll be in his chest, near the spine, under the sternum. One of the many and various kinds of looks he'll give Gortash is the 'searching for your metal' look every now and again.
And Gortash finds it weirdly flattering.

Will must be so confused. First of all, he didn’t know the thing Mike wasn’t telling El was “I love you.” And then Mike gives that whole big speech to El and she’s not talking to him? Even though they had been talking and laughing at the pizza place right before? Like I know he’s sitting there thinking about how the math is not mathing, not one bit. Like why would a “love confession” lead to a fall out ? 😭
