Okay I need to talk about Nicholas Leung's voice work for Dan Heng in 2.4. (Actually I already have, but I need to do it some more.)
All of it is phenomenal, and I've seen talk about his delivery of the little exchange before you enter the Shackling Prison as well as when you ask if Dan Heng is okay once you're inside. Those lines all hit me like a truck and the voice acting was a huge part of why, but I specifically want to draw attention to the next part of that conversation.
It's the Trailblazer asking about why they're actually down there, and his response is just explaining the Karmic Mirror. But the delivery of those lines is baked into my brain. He tries so hard to pull himself together, go back to being the Trailblazer's helpful exposition dump, tender moment's over, business as usual - and he can't. He very audibly has to pause mid-sentence, gather himself and take a very shaky breath to avoid breaking down completely. He sounds legitimately on the verge of sobbing. Even though if you're just reading the text it doesn't seem emotional at all, there's no real tonal indication that this is the very next thing he says after vocally blaming himself that the Trailblazer is here with him and apologising for the fact that he's struggling. It adds SO much to the whole scene. Nicholas Leung I owe you my entire life you put so much heart into this character thank you ππ
(Also if anyone has a recording of this part... please send it to me please I'll draw you a silly picture or something in return)
WAIT DID HYUNWOO HIT HIM FIRST????

I tend to like a mix of wholesome/fluffy things and angsty/dark things. Both of them at the same time? Even better! =D Mostly do character/creature design stuff, and a lot of worldbuilding (e.g., landscapes, building designs, magic systems). I have my own OCs and world and such, not sure what to name it though. I'm trying to get into music but I don't have the time ;-;

I personally think that Scara probably still deals with trauma / self-loathing from his past + blames himself for being manipulated by Dottore and for the fact that his attempt to sacrifice himself via Irminsul to bring everyone back failed. Due to his general distrust of humans I kinda made this headcanon that cats / the aranara / birds / Nahida help get him out of his own head when he's going down that path and starts overthinking everything and getting overwhelmed by all that's happened to him / the new realizations he had in the interlude quest so yea
i think they should have a bake off (feixiao and phainon judge)
For this weekβs video, I officially closed the book on the βHeartlessβ chapter of my Concept Corner series by delving into the dark powers and potential pasts of the storyβs villains, the Wonders! π€π€ππ§‘β€οΈπ
This is a compilation of all the finished pieces β itβs wild to think how long its been since this silly lilβ video series started, but I canβt wait to see where it goes next! Hope youβll keep an eye out for whatever may come along on the horizon π
