So very excited to share the comic i made for @ferdibertauzine !! I got to combine two of my favourite things ever— ferdibert and pacific rim (and had a lot of fun figuring out how to draw the drift!). Leftovers are open now so you can grab a copy now if you’re interested, so many talented people worked on this zine so be sure to check it out!

Oh my god this is brilliant

happy ferdibert birthday month!! this is long overdue but i'm finally posting the full comic i drew for the twelve moons with you fdbt anthology ☀️🌙

THIS IS SO COOL

Bernadetta hosts a murder mystery dinner party.

ITS FERDIBERT MISSING HOURS IN MY BRAIN

idk how but they’re back and they are killing me with hammers. Ferdinand Von Aegir my beloved son 🫶🫶🫶

Anyway. I like the idea that Hubert experiences overwhelming love just watching Ferdinand talk abt random stuff to the other beagles

They're so cute omg!!! Ethari's hair is my new favorite thing ever!! I love imagining what they looked like when they were younger <3

Just thinking of little Runaan and Ethari.

They have childhood friends to sweethearts vibes to me.

Doodle of them ❤️

I cant stop thinking abt Ethari singing that lullaby Rayla sings in s6

Personal Art Blog!

Hi y'all! I don't normally do stuff like this, but I'm starting a second blog to post more of my personal art, and to document making a short original comic! It's been a long term goal of mine to make one, and after making this ruthari comic in just 12 hours, I realized I needed to sit down and try.

My goal is to make just a five page comic from the ground up and document it all here. I invite anyone else with a creative goal to join me, let's make 2025 a year to be proud of!

On a less optimistic note, my life is about to get a lot more hectic, so I probably wont be able to post daily ruthari fanart like I have been. I have school and a job, and sadly I have to prioritize real-life over my interests. I will post whenever I can though! Ruthari and Ferdibert are still some of my greatest muses, so I will be drawing them more in the future for sure lol

One thing abt this ship and the moon fam that absolutely kills me is how Ethari always knew what he was getting himself into. He knew when he married runaan that he might send off his husband for the last time. He probably knew when they started dating. And that never stops him from loving Runaan with reckless abandon.

Sorta late to the party but happy TDP day y’all!!!

Let’s get arc 3!!!

theory: Ethari proposed

reblogging because there is SO MUCH LORE in here and I live for reading tiny flavor text.

Thank you OP for giving me moonfam fanart ammunition

Ok I talked abt this a lil before in another post but THE RUTHARI DESIGN LANGUAGE

Ethari outwardly has changed, but that design reflects more of his grief, the passage of time, and his inability to let go of his husband. It’s also all external—his hair is longer, his Moonshadow markings are now asymmetric/unbalanced, his earrings are gay as hell and really show how he is not over his marriage at all. Most importantly, his armor/shoulder things. He looks prickly, closed off, and that’s exactly how he acts when he thinks runaan is a stranger, which is very un-Ethari.

On the other end, Runaan’s design is hugely the same as season one, with the only two changes being A) his weird ass cutout sleeve is missing on his right, and B) his horn. Unlike Ethari, runaan’s biggest character design change is losing a part of his actual body. Hair can grow, clothes can change, but Runaan’s horn is part of him. His being has been fundamentally altered in a small way, and he’s going to carry that change for ever. Both figuratively, with how he’s seen the true outcome of his assassin work, and literally.

Ethari has a design that communicates his relationship with runaan, he always has. In bloodmoon huntress, runaan calls Ethari his guiding light, but in reality I think it’s the other way around. Because Ethari is the most out of character without runaan. He ghosts Rayla out of grief, which is very out of character, because runaan is gone. But after two years, runaan still comes home to an Ethari who is grieving and hopeless, but not broken.

And after they reunite, Ethari returns to the same state we’ve seen him in for pretty much the entire show. And I get why. He’s a minor character, the plot doesn’t need him to have a paradigm shift like runaan, but I like to read into it as Ethari being the moonfam anchor. He’s the home they all come back to, he’s the warm hug they all need, he’s soft and he’s kind and he’s defined by his love for them. So when he loses his family, he loses himself. He’s and anchor with no ship. Runaan is his heart, without runaan, there is no point for there to be an Ethari, and it makes him lash out and ghost Rayla.

So. Here’s why I’m thinking about all this: Ethari making Runaan a prosthetic horn. Ethari, runaan’s anchor, helping him reforge this part of himself and shine truth onto the great lie of assassin-hood that runaan held so close to his persona. Runaan choosing to replace his belief in precision violence with his belief in love. Most importantly to me, Ethari confronting the lie he helped reinforce for runaan. Ethari seeing that he’s been making weapons to fuel the cycle of violence that in turn took his entire family and his heart from him. And Ethari and runaan deciding to help build the new world, Everkynd, where the lie and the cycle don’t have to dictate their lives.

edit: comic is up here

Something about runaan saying “I am alive” to Ethari and how much that means

Aaaaand my hand slipped oops

I am obsessed with how much Ethari’s designed changed juxtaposed with how little runaan’s did, and on the flip side, how much runaan changed as a character vs. how Ethari remains an anchor, both for runaan and as a character

ETHARI CHANGED HIS MOONSHADOW MARKINGS ON HIS ARMS???? FROM THE CIRCLES TO A SWIRL????

A) So does that mean they’re painted on?

B) if they are painted, does he change them because runaan isn’t there anymore to help him paint them??? Because like, an even circle is real difficult to draw on your shoulder without help.

C) in terms of character design, I will be interpreting this as him losing stability. His old design was perfectly symmetrical, whereas now he’s a little off kilter, literally spiraling with grief. To me, there’s a lot of meaning in his markings specifically, especially the ones under his eyes that look like permanent tear tracks 🫶

D) goddamn it now I have to relearn how to draw his markings

First doodle from after season 7 that I didn’t post. I love Ethari so much, I have for the last five years, which is CRAZY to think about because he and runaan basically shaped my art style into what it is today.

Over those five years I build and re-built the reunion in my head, knowing that I could be getting my hopes up for nothing. tdp is a complex show with a tight time budget. Things have to be cut, and I was terrified the reunion was going to be one of them. And then we finally got it, and it was perfect

ok I’m going to draw something for the happy bit of the reunion later but OH MY GOD. THE ANGST??? ETHARI BEGGING RUNAAN TO STOP HAUNTING HIM????? WE USED TO PRAY FOR THE REUNION TO BE THIS GOOD. I AM THRIVING. MY CHEST HURTS. I CRIED WHILE DRAWING THIS. IM ON CLOUD NINE.

I’m alive!!! Work sort of took over my life for the last few months (and so did a Star Wars obsession but there’s not a lot of content from that) but I’m back to my very infrequent posting schedule

A few doodles from the other day 🫶

still thinking abt these two and also ruthari, just haven’t had a ton of time to make those thoughts real yet

More sketch book etharis! Ngl I totally forgot how his actual face looks, I’ve been doing a completely different interpretation for the last like five years 😔

Also he’s 100% daydreaming about runaan in the first doodle

Some very fast, very self indulgent ruthari from my sketch book

So um I am aware that all I do is draw Hubert and Ferdinand Fire Emblem making out but the 6th season of The Dragon Prince has awoken something in my soul and I just want to warn anyone who enjoys this blog at all that there will be art of Runaan and Ethari in the future. They basically taught me how to draw men five years ago and if I don’t draw them now I will die

2nd try at posting this since I forgo the most crucial Art step

I nearly forgot abt their birthdays so I guess this is my joint contribution! Happy (late/early) birthday, twin jewels!

Funnily enough my birthday is also on the 30th, so let’s call this an early birthday present for myself, too.

My personal head canon is that Hubert’s concept of personal space doesn’t exist with Ferdinand

A good couple of months ago, I rewatched the Ferdinand and Hubert FEW3H supports with the intent to re-imagine Ferdinand’s twin jewel speech as a comic—until when this first part of their A support totally derailed me. I realized that Hubert’s line here about how easily Ferdinand could kill him is:

A) actually hubert’s twisted way of saying “I trust you enough for you to kill me and get away with it”, and

B) totally angst in waiting because Ferdinand *does* kill Hubert in other routes, and Hubert’s line is such a funny wink wink to the player acknowledging that

So anyway, obviously I had to adapt that specific scene into a comic instead. I’ll probably do the twin jewels speech at some point, but rn I have another comic in the works for these two that’s not support related, so stay tuned I guess?

Here’s a funny doodle i did for a friend! I thought it’d fit on here sooooooo have a Hubert meets Sampo Koski from Honkai StarRail :)

Maybe I’ll do a follow up with Ferdinand and Jepard?

A lil kiss for the new year
