M9: "sometimes we don’t want to deal with a violent fight so we just polymorph our opponent into something harmless and embarrassing and leave"

BH: "we also have a non-violent method! We put our enemies in The Hole"

M9: "oh neat! And then you leave before they can climb out?"

BH: "what no we forget about them until they run out of air and die horribly"

M9:

BH: "there are so many bodies down there"

Hi, I’d like to get back on my bullshit for a second.

My Essek Food bullshit, specifically.

Because I remembered Rumblecusp. And I had been enlightened.

Essek would be so excited to eat dinosaurs and whatever else fucked up bullshit lurks on that island. I’m so serious.

The Nein go on dinosaur hunts for old times sake and Essek is just listing fancy ass dishes to try and make because he is noble born elf fancy ass- so. The Nein are like, butchering this T-Rex and he’s just floating there, asking if they think they could make a roulade with that flank? Discussing fillings and sauces and being otherwise unhelpful.

He and Yasha would have the time of their lives hunting and munching on the crazy, huge, carnivorous bugs that live on that island. Like, they are in The Tower, and on one end of the table are most of the Nein with regular food with like exotic fruits they foraged that day and on the other end Yasha and Essek are having those pillbugs from The Emperor’s New Grove going on.

Essek might be treacherous heretic (Jester made him a tunic with it written across the Chester and everything), but he’s having a ‘sloppy Joe’ (will the wonders of the neins naming ever cease?) made with Ankylosaur meat. Suck it, Umavi.

extremely enamored with the image of ludinus in aeor trying to figure out where the fuck all of the ancient technology he was relying on disappeared to, followed by a smash cut to essek in a cozy demiplane, wrapped in a handmade sweater and casually labeling all the artifacts from his third aeorian honeymoon with caleb

It’s a reminder that they all need, tbh, because The Vanguard has really good rhetoric at a time when the Gods are all losing 100% of their shit getting ready for Calamity Round 2, being relatively unhelpful and forceful. It’s really easy to forget that the people actually doing the thing are like… evil evil. Like Big Evil. Led by a fae-sucking motherfucker that just exudes ‘I’m a crafty, evil SoB’. A Good “hey these guys killed my fucking husband and father-in-law” is a great reminder that no, yeah these are bad guys.

Orym, anytime someone tries to justify their bullshit: Omg, that’s so crazy- MY FAMILY’S FUCKING DEAD

So, Sukana’s twin totally cursed Sukana’s birth, right? Like I’ve only seen bits and pieces on the leaks, but- couldn’t Sukana’s twin curse him for eating him in the womb and that’s why he looks like that, because he’d been cursed. Like he wasn’t metaphorically a cursed birth, he was literally a cursed birth because brother went down cursing him with extra parts for eating him.

And then when Kenjaku was sealing Sukana in ye olden days, he just kinda… plucked the twins soul out from where it was stuck to Sukana and saved it for a special occasion or the sealing set that man’s free and he eventually wound up in as Jin. Something. Idk, I’m not super clear on the whole thing.

My suspicions that Kenjaku had unbreakable vows with Jin and Grandpa Itadori are intensifying, tbh

The cherry on top: she proceeds to give him a drink with a racist name and he fucking leaves shortly after. The man spent two or so hours teaching Caleb magic, got served a racist drink and dipped.

beau just straight-up using essek to practice her hospitality skills while fjord live-coaches from the sidelines and when essek eventually accepts her repetitive offers for drinks she body checks fjord and goes "DID YOU SEE THAT I'M A FUCKING HOST I'M A FUCKING HOST"

Caleb Widogast came into his life, specifically engineered in a lab to fuck up his entire life and instead dropped down on him from the ropes the People’s Elbow of Affection. And it ruined his life in the best way possible.

Still laughing about Caleb casually telling Essek in front of the Marble Tomes that he was in training to be a Scourger, when they have one in custody right that second for attempted murder in the Dynasty. Like from Caleb's perspective he'd established his goodwill pretty loudly via the beacon and even said he was from an "inner circle" of the Empire. But I feel like "btw that inner circle was assassins" is like a next level of bold to say when there has just been an assassin attack. And Essek maybe reads Caleb's earnestness correctly because he doesn't seem alarmed and just quips "are you telling me you're a Scourger?" and easily accepts the answer of no; it came across almost more like a teasing remark than anything else. But I also can't help but wonder if Essek, secretly-working-with-the-leader-of-said-assassins-(among-others) Essek, was also playing 5D chess with himself in his head for a moment as Caleb unknowingly threw yet another wild curve ball specially formulated to incite Crisis Mode for one (1) traitor in particular

Time passes and my art block drags on as I try to brute force my through a big project, and as is normal in these situations, my mind starts to drift to “I just want to draw pretty outfits and mermaids/my blorbos.” The catch to this being my mermaid designs grow more elaborate by the year. And men’s fashion is boring. And the characters I zoom in on are almost always men.

So now there is ticking clock to when I’ll break and draw Essek/Caleb/any of the male Nein crossdressing or as a mermaid. Both are an inevitability, a cross all my blorbos must bare. But the ‘this art is stressing you out, you should just draw characters in beautiful outfits from/based on stuff from runway shows’ impulse is strong. Especially for Essek.

What Caduceus meant to say to Essek: Can you just prove you don't have any hidden magic evil eyeballs please?

What Caduceus said: Would you mind terribly taking off your shirt?

Smooth Cad, real smooth
