dude headcanons?
- P2 is the shortest of the Dudes (6'2)
- P3 is the tallest (6'8)
- P3 is also the token cis man of the group
- Champ acts as a service dog for P1
- P1’s least favorite texture is velvet, he will gag if he touches it
- Speaking of sensory issues, none of the Dudes are neurotypical
I genuinely can't think of more right now, brain fog's a bitch

An interesting “side effect” of the canonization of the “classic era” meaning “younger era” is that the classic era now reads as “cute fun times” before the core cast became teenagers/tweens and things got super, super complicated.
Because the characters are “younger,” there’s an air of “little rascal innocence” to everything they do now. The new releases like Mania and Superstars now feel like little throwbacks to the young heroes just learning how to work together and make a difference in the world.
I don’t think this is a bad thing at all.

There are a few places in mdzs where, in the midst of Wei Wuxian trying to placate him, Jiang Cheng says something so terribly, egregiously misrepresentative of Wei Wuxian and his morals that all Wei Wuxian can do is stare at him—like an adult realizing for the first time that the tantruming child they are attempting to calm may just be spoiled—before deciding to give up on the conversation. “Sure, Jiang Cheng,” he says, “it’s whatever you feel. It’s whatever you want.”
People like to say that the problem with the Yunmeng friendship is simply communication issues, but I think the real problem is that when true conflict happens between them, they both realize that they truly do not like each other. The difference is that Jiang Cheng reacts to this realization by trying to force Wei Wuxian into the shape that he wants, which is submission—“Do as I say! Listen to me! Obey me!”—while Wei Wuxian stands at the other end of the torched bridge he plans to never cross again and goes, “Sure Jiang Cheng, it’s whatever you feel, it’s whatever you want.”

it's so funny to me that caleb and veth really did just trade off the job of intensely pining for the other at like the halfway point of the campaign. like, imo, nott in the early days did not behave in any real romantic or even romance-adjacent ways toward him--I imagine it would be very hard to even think in that way when you hate what you look like so much, have such low self-esteem, and are actively lying about your entire past, including a secret husband. caleb, on the other hand, is kind of diving directly back into the sort of relationship he had with astrid and eadwulf. very close, very intimate, we-huddled-for-warmth-together-and-oops-it-led-to-something-else sort of thing. he is the one who expresses that he's fine with it if people think he and nott are romantically together when they're talking to keg. nott is the one who pushes back on that. he calls her his life partner. unknowingly, he compares his feelings for nott to nott's feelings for yeza. his behavior only really starts to change after he finds out about veth's husband because suddenly all of that other stuff is rendered inappropriate in retrospect. but even then he compliments her to yeza over dinner in the most awkward of ways, he admits to being jealous, he calls yeza "a lucky man" to have her, he stares at veth and yeza closed bedroom door for far too long, he creates an entire arcane tower with room for her family just so she'll stay with him. in general, his behavior is not, um, totally and completely platonic about it, you know?
like, veth's feelings for caleb are canonical and therefore indisputable in their existence, but caleb in the early days was not that dissimilar to how veth was acting near the end of the campaign. it really paints a picture of "right person, wrong time" in the way things just didn't line up for them. or, as veth would say: "in another world, maybe"

I was supposed to just redesign my Oblivion character and my hand slipped (consecutively for three days)
Pull page, some info about my boy and some notes under the cut
So Valean was created somewhere in 2018 I think after my first failed play-through of Oblivion, and of course I fell hard for the hooded stink man
Initially, they were the saddest ship that I had, the plot line being that after Lucien's murder, Val desperately tries to bring him back by any means possible. After some years of searching, he dies of an enchanted item that was supposed to bring back his lover. As a result, he'd haunt the cavern where Lucien's body rests, two souls mourning one another for eternity, doomed never to cross paths again.
So technically that is still canon for them, but I'm easily persuaded and one pair of glossy eyes successfully coerced me to make a fix-it that is slowly taking the first spot as the main story.
Starting from the top right, I imagine this being the moment of confrontation when Lucien accuses Val of being the traitor, telling him that he betrayed both Sithis and his heart.
The top left is where the story diverges, Val does make it in time. He exposes the true traitor and cuts Lucien down, fully realising how close he was to losing the man who means the world to him.
The bottom three are post-incident, rebuilding the Black Hand. The Speaker and his sentinel.
