Minerva's Super Bright Shell

Minerva's super bright shell

I recently discovered two old comic ideas for Minerva, Edgewise, and Glint during Season of the Plunder. I often write them but never actually draw them. For some context for these ones, Bubo was forced to use arc by Ikora, so Minerva wears the Bright Cycle Shell to support Bubo. Edgewise once again can't understand why Minerva loves all his shells, so once again Edgewise jests about Minerva's fashion sense (my bf uses only one shell for his ghost while I change my ghost shells out all the time). Also, also, Glint gives Minerva a pirate hat that season (idk where he got it, but he felt Minerva should have it). So, I just drew one little panel for each, but here is the dialogue for both:

Comic #1

Minerva: I can't wait to find treasure! I have to tell Glint about it!

Edgewise: You're gonna find treasure in that...? You're just asking for every Eliksni to attack you

Minerva: Bubo is working on her stormcalling, so I'm wearing this to cheer her on!

Edgewise: Yeah, Tripore is doing the same, but i'm not wearing an arc shell.

Minerva: You could at least paint your shell

Edgewise: There are more pressing matters at hand

Comic #2

Minerva: We get to find treasure with Eido and Missraakskel!

Glint: That sounds like fun! I wish I could come along! It'd be like searching for Headless Ones!

Minerva: I know, we could've been pirates together.

Glint: Wait, I have just the thing for you! *pulls out pirate hat and put it on Minerva*

Minerva: Thank you so much Glint!

*Later*

Edgewise: Why do you have a pirate hat now?

Minerva: It's from Glint! He thought a pirate needs it!

Edgewise: of course he would....

She looks kinda young in this and it's interesting thinking of this as a young Mara Sov, still in the distributary or just leaving it.

queen of my heart, mara sov

As soon as I saw this in the TWAb during season of plunder, I immediately loved it! Whenever I played Expedition, I would go to the SCUR-V chest. My bf knew this, so sometimes he would try to get there first to play with me. We need more SCUR-V lore.

We need more Ikora! I really hope she's active in the story next season

I'm sad we didn't get more of Crow this season. Yeah, him losing Amanda was sad, but it didnt feel as impactful. I really was hoping we'd get more about Crow's relationship with Mara this season. This is the first season where they are both in the spotlight and active in the story since Season of the Lost. Crow now has all of Uldren's memories, the whole Savvy thing happened, and he got to reconcile with some of those memories during Season of the Haunted. Meanwhile, Mara had been offered to become a disciple of the witness, which is making her change her world view as well as Mara helping Elsie work things out with her lightbearing sister in Season of the Seraph.

Mara Sov and Crow interactions were needed this season. We got some lore about Mara reaching out to Crow and he tells Glint about feeling Mara. But they never really discuss it. Surely there should've been some attempt on Mara's part to reconcile with Crow. Even if we got more of Crow saying he doesn't want to talk to Mara unless it's about the missions at hand, it would be something.

objectively crow should be the craziest, there’s so much missed potential there. he’s 3 years old. he has all of uldren’s memories. he was mentored by savathun for the first year of his life. he should be balls to the wall insane
