[stuff-and-such-art]

Drew some sketchy hugs for Hamid as warm ups then... kinda just cleaned them up for fun! Halflings and their height is interesting to me.

Hamid and his brothers below the cut as well as image descriptions.

[ID #1: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a light pale pink to dark hot pink gradient background. Azu is holding Hamid and leaning back while Hamid has his arms wrapped around her shoulders with his feet kicked up. Azu is smiling with her eyes closed. Only the back of Hamid is visible but his face is angled slightly revealing a smile on his face as well. Azu is wearing pink armor, and navy under-armor, with a brown belt and gray trousers. She is also wearing gold earrings. Hamid is wearing a dark purple blazer and lavender pants with brown shoes. End ID.]  

[ID #2: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a dark brown to pale orange gradient background. Grizzop and Hamid are hugging and we see them from a side profile. Grizzop is holding Hamid under the arms and has his arms wrapped around his back. Hamid has his arms wrapped around Grizzop’s biceps with his hands on Grizzop’s back. Hamid is leaning into the hug and has resting his head on Grizzop’s shoulder with his face towards the viewer. Grizzop looks annoyed but is blushing.

Grizzop is wearing a long green cloak, a brown belt with a quiver, and silver pauldrons. Hamid is wearing a dark periwinkle blazer, a purple collared shirt, a purple vest, and navy pants. There are two dialogue bubbles to the left of them that read:

Hamid: “It’s been 9 seconds, Grizzop.” End ID.]  

[ID #3: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a beige to dark gold gradient background. Hamid is looking up at the top right corner of the image where presumably Bertie is standing. His arms are outstretched and he is clearly offering a hug to Bertie. Bertie’s hand is above his head and has presumably just pat him on the head. Hamid’s hair looks mildly ruffled from Bertie’s hand. Hamid looks annoyed. Hamid is wearing a suit with a pink cravat, purple vest, light blue collared shirt, and a dark cyan blazer. Bertie’s arm is wearing dark blue under-armor, a gray glove, and a gold vambrace with a bird decal on it. There is a dialogue bubble next to Hamid’s head that reads:

Hamid: “Patronizing, Bertie.” End ID.]  

[ID #4: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a pale green to lime green gradient background. Cel is holding Hamid in an embrace. Hamid has his arms wrapped around their shoulders and his feet kicked up. Only the back of his head is visible. Cel is smiling with their eyes closed. Cel is wearing some gray pants, black fingerless gloves, and a long maroon jacket with lots of pockets and straps visible. Hamid is wearing a green blazer with green pants and brown shoes. Obscuring most of their features is their wings which are wrapped around each other messily. Hamid’s wings are dragon-like and are golden and brown. Cel’s wings are bat-like and gray with ivory claws. End ID.]  

[ID   #5: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a turquoise to dark blue gradient background. Hamid is standing on his right leg with Skraak’s tail wrapped around his other leg in the air. Skraak is standing with their arms crossed and one hand pointing towards Hamid. Hamid has his left arm extended for stability while his right arm is curled towards his chest. He is smiling but looks a little concerned. Skraak looks apologetic but annoyed. Hamid is wearing a hot pink blazer, a dark pink vest, pink pants and a golden collared shirt and cravat. Skraak is wearing a black sleeveless top and a red and orange wrapping around their legs. There is a dialogue box above their heads that reads:

Skraak: “You’re supposed to have a tail.” End ID.]  

[ID   #6: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a blue to navy gradient background. Sasha has knelt down with one arm on the ground for stability. Her right leg is resting on the ground and her left leg is bent and ready to raise her back up to her feet. She has one arm wrapped around Hamid’s back and holds a large knife in her hand with the point pointed down. Hamid is standing stiffly and has his arms wrapped around her shoulders and is looking behind his shoulder towards the viewer. Sasha’s face is mildly annoyed. Hamid looks mildly concerned. Sasha is wearing a long dark jacket, gray pants, and brown lace up boots. Hamid is wearing a turquoise blazer, green pants and a lavender collared shirt. There are dialogue bubbles above their heads that reads:

Hamid: “Um... the knife in the back is a bit uncomfortable, Sasha...”

Sasha: “Your back is defended ‘amid. How’s that not comforting?” End ID.]  

[ID   #7: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and an indigo to purple gradient background. Zolf and Hamid are hugging with Zolf in side profile behind Hamid and Hamid facing towards the viewer. Zolf has his arms on top of Hamid’s shoulders and is leaning into the hug. Hamid has his arms underneath and wrapped around Zolf’s torso. Hamid has large cartoonishly watery eyes and the rest of his face is nuzzled into Zolf’s shoulder. Zolf is wearing a dark blue coat that extends to his knees and brown pants. Hamid is wearing a suit with a golden blazer, dark gold pants, and a blue vest. There is dialogue bubbles to the right of them that reads:

Zolf: “...are ya cryin’ ‘amid?”

Hamid: “...no...”

Hamid text bubble is shaky, implying that he is in fact crying.  End ID.]  

[ID   #8: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a pink to lavender gradient background. Hamid is hugging Oscar by his hip and has a firm grasp on one of his pant legs. Oscar is leaning into the hug and appears to be off balance. His right arm is in the air for stability while his other hand is around Hamid’s shoulders. Oscar is blushing and looking away from Hamid. Hamid has his eyes closed, mouth open, and his eyebrows are narrowed. Hamid is wearing a green sleep shirt with stripes. Oscar is wearing a suit with a dark red blazer, dark red pants, a purple vest, and a pink shirt with a cravat. There is a dialogue bubble near Hamid’s head that reads:

Hamid: “Go. To. Sleep.” End ID.] 

I forgot the twins were twins. 😅

[ID #9: This is a digital drawing with flat colors, soft black outlines, and a light blue to cyan gradient background. Hamid is flying while holding his two brothers, Ishaq and Ismail. Ismail is holding Hamid around his shoulders and is kicking his feet. His eyes are closed and he is smiling widely. Ishaq is hanging slightly below Ismail and his hands are obscured by Ismail’s arms. He is holding Hamid’s shoulders, kicking his feet, and is smiling and looking at Ismail. Hamid has his arms wrapped around both of them and is smiling but looks nervous and sweaty as they may be too much weight for him. His wings are extended and presumably flying them above the ground. Hamid is wearing a crimson blazer, dark red-brown pants, an orange vest, and a light orange shirt. Ishaq is wearing a light blue collared shirt, a dark blue vest, gray pants, and brown shoes. Ismail is wearing a light yellow shirt, a green vest, and gray-green pants with brown shoes. Ishaq has long curly hair in a pony tail. Ismail has wavy dark brown hair. They are much shorter than Hamid. End ID]

RQG 152

Poor Alex, there was no way to know and changing the story would be more of a breach of the implied contract than going forward. Plus side this warning implies we'll get more info on how the biology of the infection works before RSB actually explodes. To be clear I am all for warnings, I just imagine this was one heck of an awkward position for Alex & co to find themselves in. Well one would think they wanted to get through the intros as fast as physically possible! Seriously bless em for sticking with the structure instead of saying screw it and diving right in. Must be frustrating but it really helps me get in the right space to listen. Yeah it was a bit of an altruism run. That Ben physically ill at the prospect of characters talking? Yuck it up, I was specifically promised three (3) distinct topics would be addressed including both coping mechanisms and back stories. Poor Azu. If someone doesn't hold her while she has a proper cry I will be an unhappy Magpie. Are the new kids going to be invited to the conversations that are totally for sure not going to be put off for a month? Retcon: Barnes and Carter actually fought well it. I guess they were just down to the tricky ones. Theatrical much? Cel is great, have I said that enough? Well obviously not it should be declared at least hourly: "2 o' clock and Cel is great". But right after last episode instead of backing down (and IDK implying Wilde told the new kids their pronouns), Cel is immediately introducing themself with them and emphasizing their importance. Hamid right in there with the leadership, telling the duo that the party needs to go into isolation. I know having Zolf around must have took some weight off his shoulders but the man has grown since season one or even since Prague. He didn't lose that just because he cheers up when not solely responsible for leading the party. Note there is a messy negotiation with Zolf about who is in charge coming up and it is a mark of my trust in this show that I'm not dreading it. Am curious if it will be explicit enough for the white picket fence kids to pick up on, I know I have a thing about rank but some people seem to miss that aspect entirely. OK point Zolf but even with his charisma score there has to be a better way to put it than "do that and you are responsible for infecting Jasper and the village". Wow I guess that is the case isn't it. Thank you leader!Hamid coming in again. Getting Cel the kind of updates on home Hamid was denied in quarantine is fairly low risk for great gains in Cel's comfort with the whole thing. Point of clarity: as much as I hate to admit it, once the quarantine began they couldn't really keep Hamid in the loop since Ishaq was in the care of the Harlequins. Its been implied even without simply escaping an infected person could have means of communication that work in am anti magic cell. The village however is public info. Zolf, I want that again in small words! Are we talking black death or infrastructure problems? Because a few targeted infections could take out the government but not directly kill the citizens. Cel is doing the forced cheer again. What the hell have they been through that they default to words of affirmation for gory violence? Like most characters acknowledge the gore or that it was helpful, not both. Barnes is more reserved outside of the fight. Issues? Trauma? Oh Helen spelling it out, he's my type, crap. "Emotionally unavailable pirate" is a lot of people's type TBF. No wonder I made a warding gesture on hearing Zolf's description and didn't warm up till Dover. These characters wear the red flag as a cape and I'm surprised when my heart gets broken every time. Eh Zolf came back and is doing well enough, maybe Barnes will turn out to just not be chatty vs heart rending. And Hamid in there with the initiative casting Detect Magic so they don't have to face all the risks implied with not checking over the bodies. Barnes and Carter are glowing "like a fireworks factory where things have gone wrong". Only Water Breathing on the mooks. Speaking of emotionally unavailable pirates, Zolf sounds resigned as hell. I know he's working on it but the situation would depress anyone and he's been having a time of it, what with the puzzles and all. Shutting down isn't actually coping better than being shouty just more convenient. Have I already mentioned I want someone to comfort Azu on screen so she can put herself first for once? Remember how bright she shone in Cairo? If she doesn't process soon she's going to echo Zolf's arc. Carter is trying to looking at the bright side. Thank you Ben and Alex, not only a mood lightener but one that reminds us that Zolf asks direct questions now. And Zolf just moved as clearly as possible to protect Azu after Carter lashed out in response to her. I know they have a ways to get to where Grizzop & Azu were but I think they are at least proper team mates. Maybe having Zolf on this side of the bars this time will ease anything Azu is carrying from their introduction. Cel is a delight. Did they just suggest hamster balls? I love how Alex jokes about his own set design. Ah there is Ben's Minecraft joke. I think that's what you call environmental story telling. I love the mental image of them making their entrance crashing the mine cart into the ambush, like half way between a roller-coaster and sledding. Ah its been so long Zolf can't apply his memories of mining. They are officially out! Azu and Zolf are finally breathing right. Hey Zolf broke the weather machine! Cel takes a look see. Plumes of smoke from Shoin's? Wreckage from all the storms. Zolf joins Cel and USES HIS WORDS! I am so proud of him. Like not kidding learning to proactively offer praise & comfort instead of only offering concrete assistance in reaction is a huge step. Oh Cel! Getting yourself killed fighting alone would not have been better than defending your patch. And Zolf is right there, god remember Paris? Remember Prague? Now look at him. And there is the reality check. Not as jarring as it could have been. Azu is face down on the ground near Hamid! No more putting on her game face and slogging through it! Yes, process all you need darlin, no reason to rush. Hamid checks in! Azu takes his hand and explicitly talks about how scary it was when he was missing. Hamid talks about putting on a brave face for Skraak! RQG really just said "we're giving the fandom everything they want" in an episode recorded before we had a chance to ask. Azu checks in with Hamid! Oh Hamid its ok not to be ok. Oh hat Azu! Hamid call your family 18mumble is a go! Alex I will scream if he gets another delaying tactic. Cross your fingers we might get Ishaq and Saira! Azu assures him it would OK. Timing Zolf Horses! Topaz! Barnes: right Well that's a fair reaction to a celestial camel, he doesn't even know what the T stands for. Azu hugs Topaz Thank you Alex for making judgmental celestial camel canon.  How GMs don't all go insane with power from the moment it hits they can rewrite their world on a whim is beyond me. A Shetland for Hamid, a standard sounding horse for Cel, a cart horse for Azu, and another Shetland for Zolf. Carter can't get the question out before Zolf shuts him down. He is sticking to his word to Skraak, the island belongs to the Kobolds. Hamid calls en route! Bryn remembers to roll for it! Ishaq is a great kid, such a good sign he sounds like a kid too. Yes the kids are all together in the country house! Dad is at a redacted location, thank you Alex! Mom is alright! Saira is busy and the biggest problem with Ismail is that he is now taller than Ishaq! Ismail is good at magic too. Family bonding time. Einstein is working. Emeka & Veseek are helping things. Ed is with the family. Zolf is not happy about the call. Fair Zolf but none of us are regretting that call. Eh it being a one time thing is fair. Have I mentioned I like how Hamid & Zolf bicker? Its not like with Grizzop. They assume good faith and argue about the issue not score points. Part of why I shipped them in the beginning honestly: charismatic as Hamid is he probably impressioned like a duck on the first person to care more about what he was saying than how he said it. They joke about how hard nonverbal shots are in a podcast. Yes Alex we really do respect your craft. Might have been reassuring Ben. Helen is on the audience's side as always and tells him to pay up on the promised coping mechanisms talk. And Alex makes them roll a perception check. Do not talk block. Carter has been trying to eavesdrop. Azu tells him he isn't invited and Zolf tosses something at his head. Carter slinks back off. Zolf is still not good with words but he is resisting the urge to take it back. That counts damn it! Azu: your not good at talking for someone who says we need to talk. Yes Azu, and thats what makes it special. He is willing to put himself out there and do things he is bad at for the sake of the team. I like how Helen plays Azu getting over her issues with Zolf rather than just leaping to "Hamid vouched for you so we're besties". I need a clip of this, Zolf is offering to listen and be there while respecting boundaries and citing his own experience. Helen is great, Azu jumps right into the 18 months by asking about his relationship with Poseidon. Which again makes sense, as Azu is still working on "we met after you drugged, trapped, and imprisoned me". Which I get but seriously couldn't it have been in the stew or something? Drugging a woman's drink has connotations. Azu backstory(ish) oh thank Alex her cult is still doing the good work. Zolf tells Azu this, and offers her an out? Hamid & Zolf offer reassurance. Yes Hamid specifically tells her it isn't her fault. Zolf assures her that she isn't responsible for Sasha's decisions. Cel and Carter are chatting about what they've seen on the island.  Barnes tells them to keep the volume down and does Zolf's thing of bouncing something off Carter's head when he's loud again. Hamid moves to check in with Cel. Cel calls him on it.  Hamid asks what Cel plans to do after quarantine! Thank you Bryn! Cel doesn't know, ow. Cel feels obligated to be more proactive. Hamid reassures and points out that they were able to do it as a team so its not on Cel for not acting alone. Cel what is your backstory, afraid of being the monster. Thank you, I could wrap myself in this episode like a blanket. Cel how do you know that about being friends with mercs? Hamid would do it again but wants them to have a choice. Cel: When I call you little buddy I m not referring to the size of your heart. And that was veering saccharine so Ben swoops in with the Harrison Campbell joke. Do not make me get into why Hamid might be using snobbery as a cover for continuing to care more about what people might think than what he wants. Its a cheap shot for what could equally be he's that age and still has some flaws to work through. Thank you Alex for being realistic about horse pace without turning it into a word problem. Wilde! Cel points out the inn keeper could be infected, the boys explain the system of watching one another. Zolf is not letting Wilde get cute with his team again. Wilde wants them "fully supervised" in the bath. I feared that Alex, Wilde turned himself off again. Zolf calls him on it, kinda. They skim past the bath, thank you that could have been problematic. Thank goodness they are leaving the cell door open but locking the trap door. The new kids are in quarantine with them. Fair, going to be fun, but fair.

[nilim]

I was listening to the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood soundtrack and kept mentally assigning songs to certain arcs and episodes of RQG, so I made a playlist with the explanations below the cut!

Link to the playlist.

1: Other London (10-11)  - Mount Briggs - Undulation

There’s a certain intrigue and mystery to this song that reminds me of the early Other London arc. The party getting defeated by Barrett’s gang. All of Sasha’s bad fears and memories coming to haunt her. Hamid being forced to wear the ring. A good, solid dose of creepiness. 

2: The Channel (31 Water Way to Go) - The Intrepid

Zolf, Sasha and Hamid on their little boat braving the terrible, terrible storm. Sasha getting washed overboard, Zolf jumping in to save her. Hamid desperately clutching the boat as it capsizes. Zolf screaming at Poseidon to please not kill his friends. The calm of the storm finally settling over them.

3: Paris (42-43) - Beneath the City

The party going down into the catacombs. Sasha in the dark, sneaking around quietly with her flashlight. Discovering the giant pit of chemicals and tubes running down from above.

4: Paris (43 Hunted) - Pride

The tentacle monster.

5: Paris (46 Theseus’ Ship) - Anticipation

Basically the entirety of the Mr. Ceiling arc. Discovering Mr. Ceiling - walking into the brain room and realizing the extent of the tragedy that is making Mr. Ceiling work. Sasha’s realization about Brock. The party trying to reason with Mr. Ceiling but only giving him terrible, terrible ideas.

6: Paris (50 Everything’s Fine) - The Awakening

The party discovering they’re in a simulation - Hamid giving up as the rest try to escape. Sasha and Zolf realizing they can’t leave Hamid behind as they stand in front of the open door and see themselves frozen in time. Reality shifting around Hamid as Brock tells him to get out and to protect Sasha. Hamid running.

7: Paris (54 Paris is Burning) - Resembool’s Lullaby 

Zolf, in his room, alone, doubting everything.

8: Prague (77 Hello Kafka) - Philosophorum Omega

Kafka taking the stage and addressing Prague, reading from his book as immense necromantic energy starts filling the space. Hamid stepping onto the stage behind Kafka, alone, aiming his crossbow at the book. Several floors down, in the flooded basement, we see Grizzop’s face as he pokes his head around the corner and sees a hoard of zombies heading towards them. Hamid’s crossbow misfires, and Kafka turns towards him as Bertie steps off the balcony. As all the energy in the room is focused towards Hamid, we see a ripple go through the silently frozen watching audience below him. 

9: Prague (78 Stage Fright) - Sorrowful Stone

Sasha and Grizzop bursting into the auditorium too late as Bertie makes his final, cowardly choice and suffocates. Hamid’s sister being flung in the rafters while the camera spins up, up and away to the roof of the opera house and we see Hamid curled up underneath a buttress as the rain falls around him, the skyline of Prague grows darker as the clouds begin to shift around the opera house at the height of the ritual, and we hear the cries of zombies all around Prague as they begin to rise.

10: Damascus (106/107) - Dissident’s Creed

Sasha watching from the shadows as the party interrogate Barrett. All the pain and hurt and fear from her entire youth flooding over her as she listens to what he has to say, and then finally, making a decision, stepping out of the shadows to confront him. To let him know exactly what she thinks of him. To draw a line underneath her past. 

11: Damascus (114/115) - Fifth Laboratory

The party working efficiently to sabotage the factory when a voice in Hamid’s mind informs him about Ishaq’s kidnapping. Control slipping away from the party as this is followed by more bad news about everyone else’s loved ones. Things are spiralling. Azu desperately looking around as the rest of the party descends into a mess of emotions, unsure about what to do as a voice in her ear threatens her brother’s life. Hamid, furious, breathing fire into the mirror until it shatters in thousands of pieces, while below on the factory floor Grizzop, angry-crying, keeps efficiently breaking machinery.

12: Rome (126 Don’t let Go) - The Day the Sun Disappeared

The planeshift. Eldarion stepping in the middle of the circle and looking at Sasha, smiling through her tears. A god reaching for the party as they spin, spin away from the plane at impossible speed. Hands slipping from other hands. Fates sealed. 

13: Ancient Rome (ARS 4) - Consonance

As the dragons tear Rome to bits, Sasha goes over to Grizzop, closes his eyes and hugs him... and then decides to get up and keep going, walking out of Rome.

14: Rome/Cairo/Japan - Requiem of the Brigadier General

Azu and Hamid, alone.

hey, do you ever think about how Hamid been away since the twins were about 5, and only came back for holidays and such, and even then he probably spent a lot of time trying to live up to family name rather than playing with his younger sibs, and when they all have fun with the twins after they show their magic in 101, this is the first time they're properly engaged in sibling antics together?

imagine the Tahan twins so charmed in having fun with the party in their last day in Cairo, with this wonderful and warm orc paladin of Aphrodite, the fun having and darkly amusing human rogue that showed them knife tricks, the responsible but amazing at shooting and showing them how to do so goblin paladin of Artemis, and their brother, the one who was almost never home ever since he had to start studying in England, the one they now share magic with, the one that helped take care of their messes and the one that now is finally here…

imagine Ishaq and Ismail not wanting to let these people go. they would've ran after the party, waved at Einstein while being in the 'background', as in 'we have a power of adults not noticing us until it is too late', and then – WHOOP! – stepping in to catch Einstein just in the moment of teleport, and refusing to back down from their decision. imagine how that could’ve changed the story.

#if they snuck along to the factory tunnels at least ONE of them would've gotten into the coffin trap #or the origin of DON'T COFFIN TRAP MY TWINS that i started my RQG crime career with #RQG #RQ Gaming #Rusty Quill Gaming #Ishaq Saleh Amoun al Tahan #Ismail Saleh Haroun al Tahan #text post #Varya RQGposting

do you think about how each night before going to sleep during that week of quarantine Ishaq held up the callstone to his face, hoping that maybe Hamid would call earlier? 

do you think he'd be the most reluctant of the quarantined to figure out how to call each other, simply based on the fact Hamid might try to get to him? 

do you think after being released, Ishaq just sat in the waiting room, clutching the stone in his hands, with Emeka and Vesseek refusing to leave his side before someone gets him, and Bi Ming looking out so no one would somehow call the kid out for using a tech he mayhaps shouldn't? 

do you think how when Saira burst into the room, tears and smile open on her face when she sees Ishaq's alright, but he wouldn't even look up, wouldn't even flinch, just let himself be held by his new friends by both sides, saying that Hamid promised to call, and he keeps his promises, right? 

do you think about Ishaq being suddenly more attached to the callstone than he'd expected, because this new world is so confusing and hurting and wrong, with his younger twin being so much older than expected, with his family being so torn over the apocalypse-in-motion and the troubles they have as a family?

do you think about Ismail trying to be close again with his twin, but failing because of everything being so different, and the experiences they had, for the first time, are so groundbreakingly apart that they feel a rift between each other?

do you think how angry and bitter Ismail could be over how attached Ishaq is to this magical artefact, instead of trying to find better ways to reconnect, and then completely breaking down over how, when Hamid called, only Ishaq could talk to him?

#good thing that Hamid is Alright and we DEFINITELY don't have to deal with a teen halfling overattached to a mobile stone? right? #Ishaq Saleh Amoun al Tahan #Ismail Saleh Haroun al Tahan #Hamid Saleh Haroun al Tahan #RQG #RQ Gaming #Rusty Quill Gaming #RQG spoilers
