I love their friendship so much, also very happy to have figured out an fcg design that works for a more expression/cartoony style! We love a lil rock'n'role content

Your anon and you yourself in the ask to Crystal calling the candles art has me rethinking my stance on the price. My favorite singer sells doodles on a piece of paper for $100+ at least here you’d also get an actual product and a pretty box
Us feeling that $60 for a candle is a lot can coexist with the fact that creators can price their art as they see fit.

Ya'll I cant stop thinking about the fact that Ashton has said time and time again that he does not liked to be touched. Touching hurts them in ways that is both deeply personal and intricate to their character and yet at the prospect of finding Fearne around the corner, they throw it to the wind to hug her

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but it feels relevant again in light of the most recent episode. Something that’s really fascinating to me about Orym’s grief in comparison to the rest of the hells’ grief is that his is the youngest/most fresh and because of that tends to be the most volatile when it is triggered (aside from FCG, who was two and obviously The Most volatile when triggered.)
As in: prior to the attack on Zephrah, Orym was leading a normal, happy, casual life! with family who loved him and still do! Grief was something that was inflicted upon him via Ludinus’ machinations, whereas with characters like Imogen or Ashton, grief has been the background tapestry of their entire lives. And I think that shows in how the rest of them are largely able to, if not see past completely (Imogen/Laudna/Chetney) then at least temper/direct their vitriol or grief (Ashton/Fearne/Chetney again) to where it is most effective. (There is a glaring reason, for example, that Imogen scolded Orym for the way he reacted to Liliana and not Ashton. Because Ashton’s anger was directed in a way that was ultimately protective of Imogen—most effective—and Orym’s was founded solely in his personal grief.)
He wants Imogen to have her mom and he wants Lilliana to be salvageable for Imogen because he loves Imogen. But his love for the people in his present actively and consistently tend to conflict with the love he has for the people in his past. They are in a constant battle and Orym—he cannot fathom losing either of them.
(Or, to that point, recognize that allowing empathy to take root in him for the enemy isn't losing one of them.)
It is deeply poignant, then, that Orym’s grief is symbolized by both a sword and shield. It is something he wields as a blade when he feels his philosophy being threatened by certain conversational threads (as he believes it is one of the only things he has left of Will and Derrig, and is therefore desperately clinging onto with both bloody hands even if it makes him, occasionally, a hypocrite), but also something he can use in defense of the people he presently loves—if that provocative, blade-grief side of him does not push them—or himself—away first.
(it won’t—he is as loved by the hells as he loves them. he just needs to—as laudna so beautifully said—say and hear it more often.)

Ashton in e40: Hey Orym, I know everyone keeps calling you the good one, but that's a lot of pressure to put on one person. You doing okay?
Ashton after the latest 4SD: No, but seriously. You're the only one here with a functioning moral compass. If you break, we're all fucked.
