reply to that text/message from earlier you’d forgotten about

maybe send a nice lil message to someone having a bad day?

So, I just finished reading Maze of the Beast and made a rather interesting observation. 

This is the first book of the series where Dain features prominently. The decription of him from Lief’s perspective, and his growing respect for his strength and bravery all signal to Lief’s admiration of the other boy. Prior to this, Lief shows basically no romantic interest in Jasmine (he obviously cares for her a great deal, but I wouldn’t describe his feelings at this point as romantic). And a funny thing happens here. When Lief notices Dain admiring Jasmine for her skills and manner, he feels jealous. An odd thing, that, because you would think that if he was interested in Jasmine, he would be jealous in Jasmine showed interest in Dain, not the other way around, and she shows no such emotions. It’s hard to be jealous of someone feeling for another person, when those feelings don’t exist. Not to mention Lief has show little indication of similar feelings for Jasmine. So who, then is Lief jealous of? Is it possible that our dear boy is in fact rather hurt that Dain is showing an interest in his best friend, rather than himself? It’s something to think on, at least.

Basically, I’m saying that Lief had a crush on Dain well before he ever had one on Jasmine. Because seriously, someone try and provide me with a heterosexual explanation for what happens in that book, really.

I know literally NO ONE asked but here’s a hot take: Lief from Deltora Quest is definitely not white. His actual appearance is never fully described in the books, but we know that Jasmine has brown skin and dark, curly hair. In order for the conclusion of the book to make any sense, we know that Jasmine and Lief probably look fairly similar, at least superficially. Jasmine’s tanned skin could be attributed to the fact that she’s lived in the wilderness her entire life, but somehow I doubt that the Forests of Silence get high sun-exposure, so I find it much more likely that that is her natural (or nearly natural) skin-tone. 

Given this information and knowing Lief’s heritage, I think it’s reasonable to assume that members of the Del tribe likely have a darker skin-tone. You know what that means? Since Barda is also native to Del, none of the three main character of the series have light skin. 

Anyways, this has been a completely uncalled for (but in my opinion necessary) PSA.

WOW

my hands hurt. This whole digital art thing is no joke-

okay, from left to right we have TJ (Tensen), Stefan, TJ (Talia), Cirice, TJ (Tenia) and Blue (Tilly) probably all of the Wagner Kids.

Now to swan dive into my next project
