I’m very much not caught up on cr but that’s not gonna stop me from drawing new outfit art :p
Perfecting their form
Concerned for the party and Exandria as a whole, excited that these three are stuck together
“You know you saved my life, right? If you hadn’t come into town, I don’t know how long I would have lasted. These last few year have been…they have been everything. Through it all, all the laughter and hardships…she was with you, she was choking you. If you come back, I don’t know how you’re gonna feel. I don’t know if you’ll feel free or if you’ll feel empty. But I want you to know that whatever holes she’s leaving, I’ll be there to help fill it, alright? I’ll be there for you. I’m not gonna tell you to come back, I’m not gonna try to compel you to come back. Because that choice Laudna is yours now. No one gets to control you anymore. Just know that I love you, and I’m here.”
Honestly we were robbed of a cutscene where Karlach post-heart upgrade runs into camp yelling, 'All right, I'm going to hug everyone who's comfortable with it! Incoming!!!' I want to watch her pick Wyll right up and give him a big ol' squeeze as she promises she'll do everything she can to end the Hells' influence over him too. I want to see her crying with joy as she pets Scratch. I want to see her yelling 'come here, magic man!' and sending Gale's books flying as she ambush-hugs him from behind. I want to see her hugging Shadowheart and realising that holy shit, do you wanna braid hair, I can do that now! I want to see her bouncing on the balls of her feet as she asks if it's okay to hug Lae'zel, and Lae'zel pretending to agree reluctantly, but smiling secretly as Karlach squeezes her. I want to watch her ruffling Astarion's hair while he yelps no, do you have any idea how hard it is to comb one's hair when you don't have a reflection? Gods! But he doesn't back away.
Just. Karlach getting to show how much she loves her friends with everything she has. It's what she deserves.
really hope they come back.
(emotional ramblings and the original drawing i did of them under the cut)
for the life of me i couldn't figure out why hearing orym and fearne died was affecting me so badly (i'm still on ep 32 lol). i didn't sleep, i was crying almost every few hours, no appetite and i was so confused as to why. i didn't react like this with molly! then i realized it's cause fearne and orym are part of exu and exu pulled me out of a bad place.
i remember when i decided to listen to exu. i was in one of the worst places mentally i have been in years and choosing to listen to it was dicey for many personal reasons. but i took the risk and i listened to exu and fell in love with the crown keepers (fearne, orym and opal in particular). and after that i slowly but surely pulled myself out of that hole. hearing two of my favorite members of the crown keepers were in campaign 3 was the greatest news ever for me. i know they'll never see this but just in case they do: thanks liam and ashley (and all the crown keepers as well as aabria) for making the characters and fun story that saved me. i hope they come back, but if not i'm glad they came into my life and they will always hold a special spot in my heart.
Beau better not catch any of you slipping 😤👊
this is a pic a drew in november and then scrapped cause i'd made a bunch of mistakes right at the start, but today i opened it again and thought yeah it can be salvaged. spruced it up a lil bit and cropped the thing too. as one is wont to do of course
