The gremlin man has been finished! :D
Took a bit but I'm really happy with it. I was wanted to make him look like he was a cool trading or tarot card and I think I succeeded!
From my two second Google search of: the hanged man tarot card meaning, I got that it usually represents "an ultimate surrender, sacrifice, or being suspended in time." I don't know how fitting it is for os! Mac's character but oh well!
I originally wanted something like the hunger because of backstory things, I couldn't really find any results of it being an actual tarot card(since I'm semi basing from them) so I went with a different one. Still happy with it though.
I wanna draw at least two more things for overshadowed au, also tarot card related, just working out composition for them.

Spoilers up to end of act 2 but my brain is eating itself
Opted to burn the grove down and I don't think anything is quite as sobering as the difference in reaction Shadowheart has between saving it and burning it.
Like she's pleasantly surprised to learn she cares about the tieflings if you save it. She's drinking but it's pretty clear she's just having fun enjoying the night ect ect. You can have a cute moment with her. She's even willing to tease you a little. We all know how fun and light this is. You get to see her drop her prickly exterior and you see how much she really doesn't want to keep people at a distance but she knows she made this bed and she will lay in it, but she lets you know she's not opposed to you closing that gap at least a little.
Burn it down and she's so smashed your illithid check is a 2 to learn she's agonizing over what she was part of while trying to justify it as being in line with Shar doctrine. She knows she's too drunk to sleep with anyone without it hurting her later. If you offer to cheer her up with a war song she's almost angry you suggest it and says she wants nothing to do with war for tonight. If you call her out on feeling guilty she immediately tries to hide behind "we survived" rhetoric. Even when you offer to just sit at a fire with her she opts to go it alone, despite conceding doing nothing might just be nice (and the way the convo plays out I do get a personal read that 'nothing' should have been applied to the offer of burning the grove). She is having a no good very bad day and 0 fun.
And not that it wasn't really obvious that Shadowheart struggles with her faith even in the "good" run, but I think this just.... really drives it home. When she does something her goddess would be over the moon (forgive me) for, she feels sick. She tries to drown it. She's young. She just lost her fellow clerics. She's alone with only her faith to keep her company and guide her. She's trying so hard to present and posture herself as a proper Sharrian and...she's just not. She's not. She's soft at her core and it doesn't matter how much brainwashing and memory suppressing happens she fundamentally does not have the heart for it.
But she'll do it. She has to defend the only home, the only family she knows. She's nothing if not faithful. She's always hopeful it's worth it, that it amounts to something, that she just isn't at a place in her faith to understand yet. But it eats at her and if you pick the justiciar route for her (and you do have to specifically pick it for her. You have to give her specific direction, the thing Shar has been doing for her whole life more or less.If you stay silent for the whole thing she will choose to throw Shar away) it really hits as her finally drowning. She couldn't hold herself underwater long enough to do it, but god will she let you do it for her.
This got away from me but the point is it's almost tragic to see how quickly she falls apart when you do exactly what Shar would approve of.

If my parents ever find my Tumblr blog then I'm actually ending it istfg.
I heard them talking about needing to log into some e-mails and I think they're talking about my separate e-mails. I don't use my main e-mail for this blog, I use a separate one. If they find this through logging into my e-mail, then I'm seriously ending it all. This isn't an exaggeration.

idk its weird how a lot of the companies making sonic merch just go "oh we'll do classic sonic stuff for the adults and modern sonic stuff for the kids" when some of the modern sonic games are old enough now for there to be adults who grew up with them or weren't even born yet when they came out. and there's also probably plenty of adults out there who like modern sonic games despite not playing them as a kid for whatever reason. there's not a strict never broken pattern for the age group someone falls into and the sonic media that they like. now please make more modern sonic shirts that fit me thank you
