Looking through the divine's pages for art reasons and when looking at Menphina, I've said it once before but these block skins are so hard to decipher, because wtf is that on Menphina's armor?

Like is it supposed to be a chain for some kind of cape? Is it a symbol on her chest plate? Like an emblem?? Cause it looks like a fucking bull to me, like wtf is that.

I feel like the Divine's armor on it's own deserves a post cause her and Esmund's skins look so fucked with the amount of detail they tried to shove into the design not thinking how hard it would be to translate out of block form

Do you think when aphmau saw grown Levin for the first time all she could see was the man she had just lost?

It wasn’t even thirty minutes ago she saw the same blonde curls and blue eyes in the light underneath the tree canopy. Only then was Aphmau able to understand what Garroth had given up for her and Laurance. Only then did Aphmau understand what had been stolen from Garroth. The resemblance had always been there but she hadn’t known what Garroth looked like when he was a child. She wondered if in a few years would Levin’s brow crease in the same place as Garroth when he was stressed. Would Levin catch Garroth in age by the time they saw each other again? Or, would Aphmau be left with a constant reminder of what she could never have? Aphmau only then understood how young she is as she looked at her son take on the same pressure she nearly crumbled under.

finally got around to drawing something proper - here's my high priest Zane!! the pomegranate is supposed to be symbolic

also the red things on his shoulders were originally going to be fancier but I just gave up 😔

some thumbnails I redrew

OOUHGU IM THINKING ABOUT THE RO'MEAVE SIBLINGS AGAIN AND MAKING IT YOUR PROBLEM

Garroth had the most of Garte's "good side" growing up, and as he was their only child at the time, Garte and Zianna favored him. He learned kindness and empathy from his mother as she stroked his hair at bedtime; He learned responsibility and loyalty from his father as the king told him of the future in store for him. He learned love from them. But then his father changed. Garroth learned to protect from his mother, standing in front of her when Garte yelled, just in case. He learned to sacrifice from Garte, complying with the king's many demands and rules "for the good of his people."

Vylad was born into a cold world. Garte treated him well at first, letting the child ride on his shoulders throughout the castle. But that candle of love was snuffed without remorse soon enough. In the end, from his father, he learned hatred and disgust. He had to hide from it. Yes, to hide away and be invisible, that's what he must do to survive. Survive. Survive. Survive. That's all that matters. But.. this cold world was not without comfort. In his mother's arms, he learned pity. Pity for the woman cursed with compassion and pity to all the bleeding hearts before and after her. He learned fairness from his older brother Garroth, who never saw him as lesser or wrong. Finally, Vylad learned that the cruel machinations of the world favored the strong over the good, as he plummeted into the depths of hell.

Zane, perhaps, was doomed from the start, being the young and malleable last son of Garte. Once his brothers died, there was no light that could combat the darkness weaving its way into his soul. Oh, Zianna tried to hold on to him; but Zane had already learned so much from his mother. She could not keep her own children alive. She could not protect them, protect him, as much as she liked to pretend her arms were a shield. She could not love him the same way she did his brothers because she was weak. Zane did not care when his brothers died. He didn't cry when he realized their shared bedroom would be silent forever. He never stared at the empty, faded spot on the wall where the family portrait used to be. Those emotions were useless, as his Father taught him. Zane learned how to get power; to invoke fear; to be a leader; to manipulate; to crush all those in his way without a drop of blood on his hands from Garte. The infallible High Priest, the benevolent leader of the Jury - that is Prince Zane Ro'meave.

Hey has the news of the Cryptic YouTube Post reached here yet cuz I'm going insane

Jess did a weird re-introduction and then said she has a big project FROM THE PAST coming. Which like. Can only be a roleplay. I'm so normal about this guys SO NORMAL

thinking about how laurance taking over all of garroth's head guard responsibilities while he was "sick" and doing a damn fine job at them was probably just salt in garroth's wounds. is he even needed here? was he ever needed here at all?

i made the sillies :3

HAPPY NINTH ANNIVERSARY MCD! Garmau catch scene you will always be iconic to me…

(Filterless below the cut)

The Fall of Irene

While this wasn’t painted specifically for the anniversary, I can’t think of a better day to post it. Happy Nine Years MCD :)

You guys remember Garroth's ableist horse?

OKAY SO

First we start with the context: Laurance left without a WORD and the crew have been searching everywhere for him for 3 YEARS. They had no idea why he left or where he went, he was GONE and they still searched. Finally, they find him by coincidence during their trip into the Nether.

They're so fucking relieved to see him. Aphmau's voice sounds like it's about to break; Even Katelyn, who knew him for HALF the time the others did, was so happy to find him.

But Laurance puts up his mask immediately, mocking them and telling them off. We know DAMN WELL he loves these idiots, but he needs to push them away. He has to for their own good. It's better this way, he thinks. (UUE UEU😭)

But then he feels it: Shad is coming. No, even worse, the thing parading around in Aaron's body is coming- right where Aphmau is. He doesn't let the mask fall; He goes further, aggressively telling them to get out, even pushing the girls over a ledge.

Now Garroth, he has no idea what's going on with Laurance. He looks crazy right now. But as soon as Laurance goes up to him and tells him they need to leave, they're brothers-in-arms again and Garroth trusts his judgment completely.

Actions speak louder than words. Every word that Laurance speaks spits venom and hatred, but his actions scream how much he loves his friends, his family. How he would rather suffer alone than allow others to be hurt.

This scene IS Laurance. No ship bullshit, no pregnancy shaming (💀). Just a man, a guard, a brother who loves everyone before himself.

My roman empire is the entire scene of Aph, Kate, and Garroth finding Laurance is Season 3. In this essay, I will-
