Guys I'm Alive I Swear

WIP of a Concept.... i still have to finish lining hikaru's hands, the extremely annoying bouquet of flowers he's holding (he's holding a lot more than that), and i may totally readjust his pose so that its a bit more complimentary to yoshiki's

My babygirl 😭❤️🤍

"I fear that I will never again return."

"With this departure, I fear that I will never again return. Can I entrust you to watch my back..."

silence (and the lack thereof)

+ i did not end up going down this route but i kinda went down a rabbit hole researching the importance of silence in linguistics and found this neat passage from the world of silence by max picard and it made me think of them so i thought id share with the class🫡

✨HAPPY NEW YEAR✨

Thank you for the support in 2023 🥺🫶

I cannot with this quest man 😭😭😭

Why did Jing Liu think this was a good idea

The way Blade's looking at Dan Heng and also his bombastic side eye

On the other hand their backstories are so sad, I don't really ship RenHeng but I do ship RenFeng

It's super sad that Blade can't move on from Dan Feng and wants closure and keeps seeing him in Dan Heng, when they're different people and Dan Feng will never come back

And sad that Dan Heng probably can't ever live on the Luofu because people will only see Dan Feng

Although tbh Dan Feng's kinda like an overbearing father who's like "you WILL go to law school or I will disown you" to Dan Heng in that one animation on the HSR channel 💀

On the other hand I saw someone say about the High Cloud Quintet that they all were like "let's all have white hair and not tell Dan Feng"

The more I think about it the more I realize that if this guys had met under different circumstances, they would have gotten along super well.

PENACONY SPOILERS UP TO 2.2 + CHARACTER LORE / STORIES

All 4 of them have lost their entire family, 3 of them have lost their entire race / homeworld (Boothill, Aventurine, Acheron), 2 of them lost these things because they were victims of the IPC (Boothill and Aventurine), and 2 of them have either lost a sibling or are afraid of losing a sibling (Aventurine and Sunday).

More specifically:

As far as I know, Sunday and Robin's parents were killed somehow, and they were taken in by the Family. Then as Sunday said Robin ended up getting shot in the neck due to trying to help others, and I think he got some kind of trauma from that and his fear of losing Robin, his sister and only remaining family, was amplified, leading to his desire to protect "the weak" no matter the cost—because to him, keeping Robin's wings "clipped" and her alive would be less painful than her being gone, and him being alone forever.

Boothill, as I understand it, was taken in by 2 people who found him as a child, and grew up in the countryside of his planet. He later found and adopted a young girl and raised her as her own, until his entire planet was destroyed by the IPC, causing him to set out to get revenge.

Aventurine also lost his sister and his entire home planet due to the IPC + his planet's own problems, and has been forced to work for the IPC ever since. It also seems like he's trying to destroy it from the inside out or at least obtain his own freedom.

As for Acheron, her entire world, as well as her memories of it, were destroyed—she's almost certainly lost people that were important to her, like the other three.

Like honestly if they all sat down and traded backstories I feel like they'd get along super well, they're all victims of circumstance and that's why they experienced so much conflict during the story
