Some Arcane Pirate Au Sketches

No Longer You waltzing animatic, this wasn't supposed to be a serious thing but oh well

god's bravest little soldier? no. devil's most cowardly huge draft dodger

the trio <3

Jayce's expression here drives me so goddamn insane

His eyes are soft, his mouth twisted in understanding. There's so much conveyed without any words.

This look says I know, it says I remember, it says this seems familiar, doesn't it?

It says You didn't think I was gonna let you go that easy, did you?

The Arcane Major Arcana

Card I - The Magician

The Magician centers around unique talents that will lead to success. He is about capabilities, and using energy, resources, and one’s own potential to realize desires. Resourcefulness and action are his strengths.

Reversed, The Magician warns of having the tools to manifest success, but lacking the will, direction, or clarity to do so.

HELL YEAH BLOOD UPON THE SNOW MENTIONED

really obsessed with this moment in Wild Space by Karen Miller

Master Kenobi. "He's quite intimidating, isn't he? Even for a Jedi." (p.152)

bail organa and padmé amidala both agree on this, and they're both senators and planetary leaders. can you even imagine what regular people think when obi-wan kenobi turns up? like we all know anakin is scary because he's a loose unit but obi-wan is probably the more intimidating of the two outside of situations where anakin is able to growl and swing his lightsaber about. anakin's cringefail social skills got nothing on obi-wan's immaculate politeness and devastatingly piercing blue eyes. anakin is combat scary, but obi-wan is regular scary.

idk man i am imagining the Team rolling up to some fancy gala and it's definitely obi-wan who's making people sweat. anakin has spilled sauce down his shirt and is making overenthusiastic nerd conversation, meanwhile obi-wan is gliding around all stoic and serene and scattering people like pigeons at the park

ok but the way Odysseus falls into each of the main Olympian’s domains?

Zeus (God King): King of Ithaca

Hera (Goddess of Marriage): c’mon, Odysseus is THE Wife Guy

Athena: Warriors of the Mind/her chosen champion

Ares: courage and valor needed for success in war; additionally after his transition into The Monster, he becomes brutal and arguably lost in bloodlust when dealing with the sirens/suitors/POSEIDON

Apollo/Artemis: Archery

Aphrodite: man is motivated only by love

Hephaestus: Odysseus built his own damn raft to leave Ogygia/built his palace

Demeter (who also has domain over marriage): see Hera

Poseidon (Sea God): Sailor/Captain (also ruthlessness, eventually)

Hades: "600 men who died under your command"; sailed through the Underworld

Hestia (Goddess of the Hearth): Man who wants nothing more than to get home

Hermes (God of Travelers): man’s been traveling for 10 years; also Odysseus is his great grandson

not to mention their actual interactions

I'm just saying

Jayce Talis but give him the Giopara (lack of) charm

sometimes I’ll be complaining about something bc that’s my right as a chronically ill person, and my parents will chime in with a “you’re in your twenties, you’re too young to be complaining that your back/hips/knees/etc hurt(s)” and I’m like, Yeah??? No shit??? You were AT the doctor’s appointments with me, did you forget the chronic part of CHRONIC PAIN????
