“Centurio Castor quo Arentis reporting, honored Legatus. The disposition of the savages remains intractable. Requesting authorization to deploy antipersonnel machina, sir.” 

An idea I’ve had kicking around in my head for what could’ve been had certain things come to pass with cha boy. Wanted to wait until I had a bit more technical skill but NO

#The Measure of Our Reach 1000 Hours Edition #Me drawing this and realizing I gave Castor Todoroki's color pallet: fuck #he's pretty pale in game but that's sort of an artifact of an earlier iteration of his backstory #his mom's Ul'dahn and pretty swarthy as Ul'dahns come #even though he obviously takes after his dad #anyways Garlean!Castor is... the worst? #better than castor now in some ways but still the worst #the armor here took a lot of inspiration from Nael van Darnus' cause it was the only one i could find a good pic of on short notice #also fuck you I colored part of it #my art #according to castor #hyur #garlean #garlemald #He looks... so baby here #do you guys like my shitty little garlemald emblem

You can’t say “nya” ironically. You may intend to say it ironically, but once the word actually passes your lips it retroactively becomes sincere. There’s no going back.

I’ve always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.

#the process by which I took this not very good screenshot was more mechanically complex than any other screenshot i've ever taken #tbh if you can survive the first minute and a half with castor that's when it comes down to him with a sword and you with whatever you have #by that first minute and a half is... a Lot #by virtue of having what are essentially six sawed offs taped to his chest which he fires in rapid succession #and it's not like he's a bad swordsman it's just that in final fantasy terms if you can't also do like a crazy spinning mid air death kick #you're kind of up the creek in melee #maybe not #anyway he can do like two paladin things and he's very proud of them but he has no idea how to control his aether flow #and it's already not that significant a pool considering his heritage >_> #oh boy another novel in the tags look at me go #according to castor #also if you can't tell he needs to take a course on finding his inner peace
