the best character dynamic is "sweet and optimistic person who will get traumatized by the end of the story" and "the person who was already traumatized but was able to heal thanks to them and is now dedicated to them with their body and soul"

people are so weird about lae’zel srsly. this woman is so Good i truly do not understand the majority of takes
like shadowheart mentions she’s half-elf once and lae’zel is like ok noted for the next time and doesnt get it wrong again
gale mentions how he’s impressed by her fighting and she immediately offers to teach him
she also answers any and all questions about the celestial realm and mindflayers that EVERYONE in the party asks her
she is the ONLY one with any experience and hands on knowledge about what the party is going thru but will still defer to the leader and help. for all she knows, they will literally be cured immediately if they find the creche but she still sticks around these fucking weirdoes because they ask her to
never speak bad about lae’zel in my presence EVER
'Revenge is bad' to YOU. i love when a character destroys everyone who wronged them. i love when they get to bite and maim and tear and rip and scratch and kill. Sorry ur catholic about it but i'm different
Made it gay, screw you
when a ship involves one character being so utterly devoted to the other that its borderline religious????? when the devoted character is written to be seen as a sinner, or damned, or a non believer??? and the other character an angel or god-like???? i simply eat that shit UP how can you not??

Something I stumbled upon on Twitter earlier today.
An extra from Vol 08 that wasn't translated until Twitter users Melody-Saber and ellasux so kindly did the job (I don’t know who you are but I LOVE YOUUU!!!).
BUT THAT ASIDE.
I am now thoroughly convinced.

HANDSOME SASAKI — ✦ SASAKI TO MIYANO
drawing that got outta hand …
i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues
Pssst
Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?
Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere
intimidation check
I like to think that while we're seeing Hirano discover his feelings in real time, Kagi is hopefully seeing the signs, too. You can't just casually tell the person you've been half assed rejecting for months that you love them out of nowhere. Seeing is believing in every sense in this case. Kagi pays so much attention to Hirano, it'd be impossible for him not to notice something changing.
As for Hirano himself, it probably won't be big news to him like Miyano's realization. He's already starting to notice his feelings, so he's likely suspecting of it even when he isn't actively trying to figure himself out. His "aha" moment would more than likely be that moment that he realizes that romantic love can manifest as easily as a comfortable companionship as it can a heart racing tryst. That there's no right way to love someone.
Once he accepts it, sometimes it's overwhelming - after Kagi gets home from a game or practice and radiates happiness, when he pouts because there are green peppers in his dinner, when he falls asleep at his desk after dedicating himself to studying for exams - all of those times he can only think of how much he loves him. Payback for all the times he's ever made Kagi's heart race with his insane antics.
So how does Hirano deal with it?
Touch.
He starts breaking the ten second rule little by little. I mean, he's already starting to. Once Kagi realizes it's been getting progressively longer and says something, Hirano drops the rule altogether. Starts letting Kagi lay his head in his lap when he comes home from practice, petting his hair while he starts to fall asleep on his lap. But it's not enough because now he wants to hold him, too. So during lap time he starts lazily tracing messages on Kagi's face once he falls asleep.
だ-い-す-き (I really like you)
あ-い (love)
こ-い-び-と (lover)
One day when he's half asleep himself, he starts doing it out of habit without checking to make sure Kagi is asleep first. Kagi notices. So he starts staying awake to see if he does it again. And there they are, the same words. Until one day Hirano draws "I love you" on his forehead and Kagi can't keep the facade up, whispers just loud enough so Hirano can hear but quiet enough so as not to startle him, "I love you too, Hirano-san."
So, the cat's out of the bag, he guesses.
What now?

Baldur's Gate in Darkest Dungeon style, two of my most favorite games!! This isn't my usual style but I've absolutely fallen in love with it after creating this piece! I may make more work like this in the future!
I got hella DD vibes from the Shadowlands in Act 2, which inspired me to make this!
hehe
