At work thinking about the WoL taking trips back and forth between the Source and the First just to be the messenger for Thancred and Ryne. I think they'd have a little exchange journal they'd write in to keep each other updated on how they're doing, with Thancred sending the WoL along with gifts Alisaie and Y'shtola helped him choose, and Ryne pressing flowers between the pages and leaving little drawings in blank spaces. I think Thancred's entries would be short and sweet, and he'd struggle on what to write about because he's not good with this whole writing-about-his-thoughts-and-feelings thing, but Ryne would see between the lines and know exactly what he's trying to say. I think Ryne would fill entire pages with what she's learned about the First and how much progress everyone is making. Thancred would always tell the WoL to tell Ryne how proud he is of her, and Ryne would always ask the WoL to make sure Thancred is taking care of himself. I just think that even when they're literally in two different worlds Thancred would try to be the best dad he possibly can to Ryne and I'm obsessed with the WoL going out of their way to make that happen.

I redrew this iconic scene from Shadowbringers with my boy Max! I’m pretty satisfied with how this turned out. Bonus that I finished right on time for MiqoMarch (though I did nearly forget about it)
