catch me realizing i don’t need to design outfits for an oc if i just make them an orb instead
anyways here’s Fayre whose primary character trait is having permanent 0.0 face and deciding that reflecting other people’s expressions is a valid workaround that definitely isn’t just as creepy. Their wings are also constantly putting out a confusion aura a la morpho’s screen inverting move so they keep em tucked out of the way when interacting with civilized folk - absolutely 100% a cryptid

actually I am going to talk about jamie not being able to shoot the zombie in the age of ambition like. he's holding a gun. he's faced with something which is human-shaped but no longer a human, which is actively posing a threat to him and his friends. and he just freezes. he can't do anything.
and we never see jamie shying away from combat with non-human/non-humanoid enemies. he's happy enough to destroy the quarks, for instance. and he'll get into fights with humans/humanoid beings if it's non-lethal. but he actively turns down weapons when he gets into a fight with one of the gonds. the most we ever see him do is swordfight with trask at the end of the highlanders. and even there, he doesn't actively /kill/ - he pushes trask overboard. clearly that's not a death sentence, seeing as ben had already survived the same swim back to shore. and if trask does end up dying? jamie won't necessarily know about it. he's not directly responsible.
so I just think. jamie, who never killed anyone in the war. jamie, who's a piper, who's a musician rather than a soldier. he's not unable to fight, because he duels trask, and he's not afraid to threaten people, because he holds two and ben and polly at knifepoint. he's not naive, because he stands at the window and watches alexander die. but he's never killed anyone himself. jamie, who's consumed with survivor's guilt, always wondering if he should have done more, if his cowardice ever condemned someone else to death - but also always knowing that he could never have done it, being sickened by the part of him that feels guilty for having no blood on his hands.
jamie, who looks into the eyes of something that's not even human anymore, and can't look away, and can't pull the trigger.
and what does that do to him, then? months, maybe a year after he's left his war behind? he stands there with a weapon in his hands and he can't bring himself to defend two of the people he loves most in the world. victoria has to grab the gun out of his hands and do it for him. this young girl who he's fiercely protective of has to shoot someone, all because he can't. there's blood on her hands, now, and none on his. he wishes he could have been the one to take that shot, to carry that burden for her, and even then he can't help but hate himself for wishing. he's trapped there forever. the feeling goes round and round in circles and it never ever goes away.

Zane's definition of "game" is so fucking funny to me.
"You have to convince her why you're the most logical mate"
And he says that shit with a straight face and an even tone as well.

my brother always teases me about all my "husbands" then keeps sending me robot/faceless characters to add to my collection, haha.
Recently he's sent me Ethan from COD, Mute from Rainbow Six Siege, and Revenant from Apex Legends.

This is my 5th and last attack for art fight this year!
I really wanted to do something art deco inspired and so this is that! And this gorgeous character belongs to NorthLycan
I would have loved to do more for art fight this year, but I was kinda burnt out with a full time job. Hopefully next year I'll be able to book a little time off in July to get some good attacks in! :D

There is only one person that he would admit to just how often he wished for a place to call home.
