"You know I love you?"
"I love you too."
I am obsessed with this relationship. It's opposites attract. It's unrequited requited love. It's clashing wants and needs. It's that slightly toxic dependency. It's a love that could have been different if only they'd never met him.
How dare Aabria and Oscar make me so invested in an owlbear and a satyr called Wuuvy

I was just struck by the image of gunpowder tim in an 18th century court gown, just, pulling an absurd amount of weaponry out of his pocket hoops. he clinks with every step. he somehow fit a rifle in there. he's a very pretty walking armory.
there is also at least one gun stuffed down the front of the bodice, for good measure

Queen Erinys commission from Sua!
She’s my favorite playable first gen character, the serious, gentle hearted knight who’s a bit too trusting and sincere for her own good. I was hoping I’d have finished my fic on her and Misha by now but that should be coming soon!
