Eursulon Toma

Eursulon in his glamoured human form

The Wizard, The Witch & The Wild One (Are they in the order of the title, no but it's very cute) I'm thinking of making it into a mini print or a bookmark for myself

"I wanted to play a spirit who dreamed of being a knight"

the full comic is here:

forgot i had this! the childrens adventure putting me in distress forever! def revisiting some of these later

i am a little sad that brennan confirmed that the reason kalaya's family looks like suvi is not bc she was connected to any of suvi's ancestors, but the time fuckery of it all, where kalaya simply wanted to look like her brother and got there too early, is incredibly beautiful. i love that.

also obsessed with brennan being like "all of the people on ao3 just sighed sadly and closed out their kalaya/soft fanfics" and aabria and erika immediately laughing derisively at the idea that canon means ANYTHING to us freaks. the "you sweet summer child" vibes are strong there!

(and hey @quiddie if you and erika make your "introducing our friends to the truth of the internet" podcast i will 100% listen to it. that sounds so fun to me. please consider either doing that or co-opting future fireside chats for that purpose. i am so grateful that you two know things about tumblr.)

"If Eursalon had waited a day, Steel would have arrived, arrested Morrow, and freed Naram. It would have potentially avoided this conflict."

Nah. Nah on multiple fronts.

This perspective relies on (a) Steel speaking and acting in good faith, (b) Steel being able to follow through on the promised actions, and (c) both Naram and Orima being mollified by that plan. Orima brokered a deal with Ame and Eursalon, not with Steel or the Empire. It looks pretty clear that she would have flipped her shit, and I don't think Naram would have been able to stop her.

But more importantly, Eursalon is a fuckin paladin. He has dedicated himself to higher principles. He made a promise. He has a goal. He had to intervene.

Paladins don't compromise on their beliefs. Waiting to free Naram would be tacit approval of the notion that avoiding conflict is more important than ending Naram's imprisonment and torture. Eursalon can't accept that. The imprisonment was wrong, and it must be stopped as soon as possible.

Staring some shit out of principle that results in a clusterfuck? Paladin as fuck.

I see the horny for eursulon club. I understand, I respect you.

BUT HOW COULD YOU NOT MENTION THAT THE NEW SUVI AND AME ART ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I'VE EVER SEEN WITH MY EYEBALLS??

Got carried away!

The designs for arc one and arc two of The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild One in my style, and in the right order this time

there just really is something about a Lou Wilson character that's just . . . *chefs kiss*

woah look at all those worlds. wow. cant even count all those things

Eursulon’s fumble at attempting to explain to Silver who (or what) is having sex in the bathroom is so goddamn funny because it arguably would have been better for Suvi if he thought she was having sex with Ame. Iconic.

[basic ID in alt, detailed ID below]

i love them more than words can say. already i wish i could listen to the children's adventure for the first time all over again.

[ID: 1. A height chart lineup showing the main characters of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One side-by-side in the main campaign and the Children's Adventure. In order it is Eursulon, Suvi, Ame & Cool Dog, and Grandmother Wren & Taro.

Eursulon is a huge bear-like creature standing bipedal on digitigrade legs. As an adult (left) he stands to a height of 220cm. His fur around his ears and forehead resembles the plumage of a horned owl. He has an ursine nose and large tusks, and big, hazel eyes. He has white freckles on his face. He is wearing a long green cloak and beige and brown traveller's garb, and a golden pauldron is partially hidden by his cloak on his shoulder. It has a small dent in it but is well polished. In his right hand (viewer's left) he holds a round wooden shield, and in his left hand he holds an unsheathed sword, Wavebreaker, with pale blue silk lining wrapped around the hilt. He has a neutral expression.

As a child, he was still large at about 145cm tall, but had a rounder face, smaller fangs, and shorter feet. He is unclothed except for his golden pauldron, undented, and instead of a sword he is clutching a broom handle with both paws. He is smiling.

Suvi is a Black human girl who stands at around 183cm as an adult. She has a turquoise afro which is pulled back neatly into a bun and decorated with fine gold chains as well as a round golden censer hanging from the back. She is dressed in a smart Imperial blue uniform with gold and silver trim, and wields in her right hand a crystal staff decorated with the Imperial sigil and wings made of floating shards. In her left hand she holds a book bound in dark blue leather. Instead of wearing glasses, her brown eyes are magically treated, which causes a teal sheen to be visible over her pupils. She is smiling confidently.

As a child, she was about 120cm tall and her hair was still dark brown and not tied back. She has yellow asteria flowers in her hair as well as a pencil and a cool leaf, and wore huge round glasses. She wears a red button-up dress with pockets, stripey white tights, and smart indigo shoes. She clutches a brown canvas-bound book to her chest and looks wide-eyed.

Ame is an East Asian girl who stands at around 150cm as an adult. She has long, dark straight hair and dark brown eyes. She has her right hand on her hip while her left hand adjusts her giant red witch's hat. The hat has a white underside and there is a gold censer attached to the pointed tip. She is wearing a white wrap top patterned with pink petals, and the long flowy sleeves have been buttoned back. She has two bracelets around her left wrist, one is woven lilac and green, and the other is small pink flowers chained together. She has red skirt that resembles a toadstool, with white spots on the cap and pink ruffles under the rim. She also has a white half-apron with several pockets tied to her waist by dark pink cord, which also holds a light brown pouch. She has one skinned knee showing above her flowery pink-and-white socks, and red stompy boots. She is smiling out of the corner of her mouth. Wrapping around her legs is Cool Dog, her fox familiar, eyeing the viewer suspiciously.

As a child, she was extremely small at 100cm. She has a bowl cut and dimples. She wears an oversized yellow shirt with white stripes, the sleeves pushed up past her elbows, and orange dungarees. She has muddy red welly boots, and is wearing the lilac and green bracelet. She is grinning broadly with her eyes shut and holding her fists up near her chest.

Grandmother Wren is an old witch standing at about 155cm with light brown skin and frizzy grey-and-white-streaked hair and brown eyes. She is wearing a dark purple witch's hat with a golden buckle and a curling tip, a knitted lilac shawl around her shoulders, and a cable-knit yellow sweater. She is wearing a stripy half-apron over a floor-length patchwork skirt, and is leaning on a gnarled wooden cane with both hands. She is smiling ruefully. Taro, her rooster familiar, is standing on the brim of her hat.

2. A cropped version of the same drawing, this time including Eursulon's glamoured forms. His glamoured form is a Black human, resembling Suvi as if he were her brother, although his eyes remain hazel and his hair is ginger instead of dark brown. He has dark brown freckles on his face and a gap in his front teeth, although the gap can only be seen in his childhood glamour as he is smiling. As an adult, the glamour is dressed identically to the unglamoured form although he's shorter by about 25cm, and his hair is braided back neatly into a bun. He also has some facial hair on his sideburns. As a child, his hair is shorter and styled into mini locs, and he is wearing a white shirt and green shorts, though still barefoot. He is about 15cm shorter than his unglamoured form.

3. A cropped version of the remaining lineup, showing Suvi, Ame & Cool Dog, and Grandmother Wren & Taro. /end ID]

Okay, so I'm going back through the Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One (yes, already) and in the first episode. The Prologue, actually, specifically Eursulon's prologue, we get introduced to the Great Bear, Eursulon's dad... and we get one little snippet of information about where he comes from, which is that some say he is the first child of the Queen of the Forest and the King of the Sea!

I think Eursulon is the grandchild of those spirits we saw the statue of in episode 5 and which were elaborated on in episode 6!
