One Thing Abt This Ship And The Moon Fam That Absolutely Kills Me Is How Ethari Always Knew What He Was

The highlights of my ruthari comic page thumbnails (ahahahahahaha you see, if I post them here that means I must finish the comic. I’ve entered a contract with god)

edit: comic is up here

Oh my god this is brilliant

happy ferdibert birthday month!! this is long overdue but i'm finally posting the full comic i drew for the twelve moons with you fdbt anthology ☀️🌙

ok I’m going to draw something for the happy bit of the reunion later but OH MY GOD. THE ANGST??? ETHARI BEGGING RUNAAN TO STOP HAUNTING HIM????? WE USED TO PRAY FOR THE REUNION TO BE THIS GOOD. I AM THRIVING. MY CHEST HURTS. I CRIED WHILE DRAWING THIS. IM ON CLOUD NINE.

First doodle from after season 7 that I didn’t post. I love Ethari so much, I have for the last five years, which is CRAZY to think about because he and runaan basically shaped my art style into what it is today.

Over those five years I build and re-built the reunion in my head, knowing that I could be getting my hopes up for nothing. tdp is a complex show with a tight time budget. Things have to be cut, and I was terrified the reunion was going to be one of them. And then we finally got it, and it was perfect

A good couple of months ago, I rewatched the Ferdinand and Hubert FEW3H supports with the intent to re-imagine Ferdinand’s twin jewel speech as a comic—until when this first part of their A support totally derailed me. I realized that Hubert’s line here about how easily Ferdinand could kill him is:

A) actually hubert’s twisted way of saying “I trust you enough for you to kill me and get away with it”, and

B) totally angst in waiting because Ferdinand *does* kill Hubert in other routes, and Hubert’s line is such a funny wink wink to the player acknowledging that

So anyway, obviously I had to adapt that specific scene into a comic instead. I’ll probably do the twin jewels speech at some point, but rn I have another comic in the works for these two that’s not support related, so stay tuned I guess?

They're so cute omg!!! Ethari's hair is my new favorite thing ever!! I love imagining what they looked like when they were younger <3

Just thinking of little Runaan and Ethari.

They have childhood friends to sweethearts vibes to me.

A lil kiss for the new year

ETHARI CHANGED HIS MOONSHADOW MARKINGS ON HIS ARMS???? FROM THE CIRCLES TO A SWIRL????

A) So does that mean they’re painted on?

B) if they are painted, does he change them because runaan isn’t there anymore to help him paint them??? Because like, an even circle is real difficult to draw on your shoulder without help.

C) in terms of character design, I will be interpreting this as him losing stability. His old design was perfectly symmetrical, whereas now he’s a little off kilter, literally spiraling with grief. To me, there’s a lot of meaning in his markings specifically, especially the ones under his eyes that look like permanent tear tracks 🫶

D) goddamn it now I have to relearn how to draw his markings

Sorta late to the party but happy TDP day y’all!!!

Let’s get arc 3!!!

I nearly forgot abt their birthdays so I guess this is my joint contribution! Happy (late/early) birthday, twin jewels!

Funnily enough my birthday is also on the 30th, so let’s call this an early birthday present for myself, too.
