ok i thought about it and actually, the wildest thing in the wizard of oz series (to me) was when the tin man, scarecrow, and A Random Child whose name I can't remember all went to find the tin man's ex. and they stop at tin man's buddy's house, to see if he knows where said ex is these days, and buddy isn't there, so they go inside to wait for him
and the house???? is full of severed body parts?????? just everywhere, they're in a barrel by the door, they're on the table, just chunks of clearly human flesh and a mess of limbs and whatnot, tin man thinks this is fine, scarecrow is really creeped out, scarecrow opens a cabinet and finds a severed human head
tin man runs on over and is like "what the f- oh that's me lol" and it's??? HIS old severed head??? so the scarecrow is just barely recovered from this, tin man is explaining the situation of how he became tin again, etc. etc.
and then the eyes open
and long story short the tin man's soul transferred to his new tin body, but it takes more than having your soul removed to kill you in oz... so his old body is still alive, but without its memories and completely confused and disoriented
the friend comes back and casually mentions how it took a bit for the transferring to finish, and after that the head just didn't remember anything. that means there was a bit there where this head DID have all of the tin man's memories still, and as far as he knew his friend had just left him without a body in a cabinet, unable to move, while the rest of his body just... walked off without him. literally horrific and the tin man is just like "haha! how quirky!" and honestly it's not the worst thing to have happened to him so i can't fault him for that but like. i'd be a little worried if one of my oldest friends told me that they'd totally leave me in a cabinet while my soul slowly left my body and wouldn't even feel bad.

wait, but if Zhang Teng was in love with Zherui this entire time, who was he saying "we can be together :)" to in that other ep.....is it just a vaguely human shaped cardboard cutout with a picture of Zherui's face taped onto the head, and thats why the henchman guy scurried in and out so fast

Short Fanfic
Having been separated from the rest of the party, including Paimon, you and Kaeya decided to traverse the ruins of Khaenri'ah together in hopes to meet up with the rest of the group along the way.
The exploration, so far, has been going well- suspiciously well in fact. Before the party got separated, several groups of hilichurls and abyss order members were scattered around the place, and with how close each group of enemies were, it felt like the fight was never going to stop for a moment.
Suddenly, it's as if all enemies were nonexistent at all. You are unsure if you are going in the right direction all of a sudden...
Kaeya walks ahead of you, seemingly more familiar with the place. He might have been here before.
You let him guide you. He clearly knows better at the moment, and you trust him.
You both continue onward for several minutes. The path grows dimmer, and the area rapidly becomes cooler and far more quiet than before. All you could hear were both of your footsteps and your own breathing. It was unsettling.
He takes a sharp turn, leading you to a cavern. You could barely see anything, but with the faint light still available, you could catch sight of the telltale signs of a familiar enemy.
Startled, you started to back away and take out your sword. The elemental energy to manifest it lit up the area. Archons...the room might be full of ruin guards.
You dart your eyes back to Kaeya, who continues to march onward, unbothered by his surroundings. None of the ruin guards awaken.
'Are all of these inactive?' you wonder to yourself, stashing away your sword, dimming the place once again. You attempt to catch up to Kaeya, who was nearing the halfway point of the room.
You never did quite catch up to him.
He reaches the center, triggering some kind of mechanism at his feet. Hundreds of ruin guards light up simultaneously.
Your heart drops as the area lit up brightly with their eyes. That's far too many, and you're not sure if the both of you could survive this if you stay any longer.
"Kaeya! We need to run NOW!" you yell in a panic, ready to run to your companion to drag him out of the cavern if necessary - but then you see his face. He was... smiling?
That's when you realized...none of the ruin guards are aiming at him...
...they were all aiming at you.

I'm surprised you haven't posted any Welcome home stuff recently! Honestly kinda makes me sad since I love your WH art and stuff
yea y'all are gonna have to be Patient w/ me bc
a) i have like. a week left to pack all of my stuff before i need to shove everything into a uhaul and leave, so its crunch time! leaving little to no energy/interest in anything else
b) to be honest my mental health is the worst its been in years - which is fine, its whatever, i can deal. it's not as bad as it could be and im handling it! like a champ, even! but also its leaving little to no energy/interest in anything else
c) had a minor crisis over my art and how i interact w/ WH, and i realized im not scribbling enough of what I want. ive mostly been trying to please people and do as asked and thats! not good! so i want to temper expectation & reassert that im Not a WH art blog - its just a hyperfixation / something i love rn. i draw what i enjoy & what i want in the moment.

Aru Akise for the Character Opinion Bingo
AKISE !?!??!?!?!?!!?
I LOOOOOVE AKISE... ALL TIME FAVE CHARACTER EVERRRRR my 14 year old self was sooooo in love with him you have no idea. i was thriving off the akise-centric manga (thank god his popularity was so good the mangaka decided to make a whole spin off for him its super super fun!)
TBH he probably serves as the basis for a LOT of my fave characters nowadays too. If you're a detective, a white hair character, smart, OR you're going to die, I will glue my eyeballs on you :)
