I think the resolution is a little bad because of some problem but i love this scene with my whole life

His shitty attitude and grabbable waist have bewitched me

I think one of my favorite things about UNDEAD willl always be Kaoru Not Getting The Memo.

Like.

Only one smiling on the Destruction Road album cover.

First ! Era 5 Star isn't in the UNDEAD uniform.

The only UNDEAD member to not regularly wear earrings.

His center event song and vibe are completely different from the others and without any purple in the card.

Kaoru also:

Is the only monolingual one in UNDEAD (made a separate post about it here)

Is the only UNDEAD member who couldn't play an instrument (except for middle-school-level recorder) until !! Era.

During Halloween, instead of a traditional monster like the rest of UNDEAD (vampire, werewolf, Frankenstein), he was a "sexy priest".

Is the only UNDEAD member whose center event didn't release in November (releasing in June instead).

Is the only one who didn't want to initially join/be associated with UNDEAD.

He really is the "human" one of UNDEAD and it's so funny and interesting to me.

This was Patrξon's May Illustration ✨✨

Found family is the best family.

Malleus Facts Part 1: Family (pt1)

We will occasionally hear information about Malleus’ sole blood relative, his grandmother.

We learn she has impressed upon him that barging in somewhere uninvited is the height of rudeness, taught him that humans often fear them, told him tales of the Scalding Sands (“But we haven’t heard much about the country since things became peaceful here”), and more.

Malleus mentions receiving cufflinks, cards and rose seeds for his birthday, saying that he cannot help but admire her thoughtfulness.

Malleus says that Lilia and his grandmother are the only people who ruffle his hair in a certain way.

He says “having siblings seems rather complicated” after discussing their families with Trey and Cater, but follows with, “one should treat their family with respect.”

Malleus also says his childhood was so long ago that he can barely remember any of it now.

In an extremely rare reference to his parents, Malleus wonders if they, his grandmother and Lilia toiled in the hopes of giving their descendants a happy, peaceful life.

Sebek says that while his grandfather has shared many tales of heroics about the Draconia family and Lilia, they never spoke much about Malleus’ mother Maleanor, or about how Malleus’ parents died:

“I've read many books to gain a greater understanding of Briar Valley and our ruler…but hardly any of them touched upon such topics.”

In Book 7 we learn that Maleanor was the princess of the Land of Briar 400 years ago (before it became Briar Valley).

Maleanor was his grandmother, Maleficia’s, only child and a key figure in the country’s defense, as commander of the royal guard.

Lilia describes Maleanor as so powerful that the rest of them combined would not stand a chance against her:

“She's also unruly, quick to start fights, selfish, and irascible...not to mention incredibly spiteful. Lady Maleanor is Briarland's most menacing figure.”

Lilia says she'd complain about food, refusing to eat jerky when they were children until Raverne stewed it for her:

“And of course she fawned over Raverne all the while, making passive-aggressive remarks like, ‘You're the only one I can depend on.’ ...maybe that's where the difference between him and me lies. And here I was the one to actually bring the food.”

Ko-Fi

you know what FUCK THIS *gives leona his melanin back*

"And I will hoard them as a dragon does her gold- for my memories with you are the most precious of all."

-- "It's plain she cares for you very deeply." -- "And I her. Which is why I had to let her go."

Getting your stomach destroyed by a medicine you don’t need just to get ur little bro to drink his is the least of Clives duties

FINAL FANTASY XVI (2023) dev. square enix

I think one of the most fascinating aspects of Joshua's character is that he was raised by a cult that worships him and it shows.

The game is very unsubtle in depicting the Undying as a cult, if a benign one whose goals are largely aligned with Clive's: the way it recruits from the disenfranchised dredges of society, the way it isolates it's members from the outside world, and associates devotion to their deity with worth as a person, even glorifying self sacrifice even past the point of reason- something Clive and Cyril butt heads on repeatedly.

And you can see the way that both being raised by them and being their messiah has impacted Joshua: the way Joshua feels that he can and should be able to do everything on his own (rebuffing Jote's efforts to help him even with small matters, avoiding Clive in order to 'protect' him), the way he's feels a right to order the lives of others around his own wishes (his meddling in the politics of each Kingdom, especially Sanbreque), even the subtle hint that he's given up on trying to persuade the Undying not to sacrifice their lives for his gain (and the even more subtle implication that he's maybe accepted that self sacrifice is a good thing, given his own self-sacrificial tendencies for Clive).

Their's this big gap after the reveal Joshua is alive where you wonder: how did he get from where he was Phoenix Gate (the shy innocent boy who wanted to do his duty more to make his brother proud then for it's own sake) to where he is at Drake's Spine (confident, mysterious, cold blooded in his pursuit of his goals), and the game answers that so effectively in the introduction of the Undying. This is where he learned it, this is what shaped him after everything fell apart and he went into hiding: a cult that all at once was trying to parent and worship and aid a 10 year old messiah whose only real desire was to save his brother from the monster that tore them apart.

Malleus "only love can hatch me" Draconia vs Silver "only love can wake me" Vanrouge

nrc is full of people who need to be studied under a microscope

Malleus "only love can hatch me" Draconia vs Silver "only love can wake me" Vanrouge

Thinking about true love and book 7 again:

True Love is what allowed Malleus to be conceived by his parents and eventually hatched by Lilia.

True love is what put baby Silver to sleep by his parents and woken up by Lilia.

Sebeks parents were able to walk past the line of human and fae, of hundreds of years of animosity, and allowed them to have their children.

Love is what diasomnia is about and love is also what caused the OB to happen.

Love is as destructive and chaotic as it is healing and nourishing 🥹😭💚

SOME CONTEXT FOR CANON-DIVERGENT PARTS OF THIS COMIC:

I started this last year when Stitch's Tropical Turbulence first dropped on the JP server, but because of schoolwork only ever had the chance to finish it this month. So as you may notice there are stuff, like the acorn bracelets being from Mel instead of Silver, that I just drew based on theories about it at the time being retconned now.

I also knew that Malleus was probably just gonna be almost the same developmental age as he was now during Sil's childhood but I wanted to also draw him as a kid. Just because🔥🌺
