Arslan Senki Reread

Arslan is such a good bean. If he did have the raw power backing him to railroad the conflict into a mediation, I wonder what the result would've been.

I think it's more than just Arslan lacking the power, I don't see Andragoras and Hilmes accepting to lay their hands away from each other. Worst case scenario, Arslan dies in the middle anyways bc Assassination™. Both Narsus and Daryun are right here, Arslan himself lacks power, but also at this point neither Hilmes nor Andragoras are capable of backing off.

Farangis' dialogue here is making me feel things, dammit. Do what you can. Do what's in your power. (It's very relevant to my Wolfpack AU.)

Farangis comforting/gently advising Arslan, and then steps up to keep the project on track. She makes for a good sister-mentor figure. I love Narsus and Farangis' dynamic, her atrocious love advice aside.

I see Alfarīd as someone who ultimately values life, who fights for life even as she is a bandit. Perhaps even because she is a bandit. Rather than having your life be snuffed out for/by an ungrateful liege or king (the Zott laugh at both country and king, they answer to no one but their own, as Merlaine said) so Estelle's stubborn loyalty must baffle her a lot. It's alien to her. (Arslan is different, he's a friend, as she says.) Rather than dying for the convenience of the ruling class who would never appreciate them, perhaps to her, staying alive in spite of their best efforts to snuff them out is a form of resistance. So she doesn't understand why, why Estelle is so willing to lay their life down for a tyrannical, genocidal maniac.

The head jars.

Why yes, I cropped out the Bastard's face because I'm petty if nothing else.

The sorcerers evading death from a blow that would've, should've, killed a human being.

Saam is shaken. This is the first he's hearing of it, and he fears what this implies. What this implies for Hilmes. What's going on? What does he mean by benefactor? How is his prince tied to these unnatural beings? This can mean nothing good.

Saam's speech bubble trembles with fear for Hilmes. And Hilmes, oh Hilmes, the red flags are so vivid they're a sea of blaring neon signs now. Nay, they're neon billboards. You say so yourself, the sorcerer here is doing something morally repugnant. Open your fucking eyes, this ain't good!

Also, does Hilmes' hair seem quite long here?

Ohhh fuck you. Fuck you fuck you all the way to hell and never back. Saam was trying to protect Hilmes. And there's just something that hits so hard about that last panel. “Please believe me.” We know it wasn't Saam who said it out loud, of course, but the backdrop being a pitch black with no speaker, taken out of context it sounds like a plea and y'know, I'll bet Saam was pleading for Hilmes' faith in the deeps of his mind even if he doesn't speak it aloud. A tug-o-war, each needing Hilmes to believe in him.

I want to punt Hilmes in the sun for which side he chooses here.

Okay, another drawing done! This time it is not for Arslan Senki though...

mild TW: mention and discription of a spider.

Meet Julie Andersen, also known as Spider-Jewel!

Andersen, maiden name Parker, was bitten by a radioactive canopy spider whilst working in the garden of her parents home. Besides the typical Spiderman powers she has a very strong web and she can camouflage herself like the canopy spider does. (The stomach of the canopy spider is darker then it's back and when it is under its web, it's hard to tell it apart from the ground. The same goes for it's back and the sky.)

She is, when not Spider-Jewel, a gardener who works part-time for Alchemax and a florist in her own shop that she co-owned with her brother and her late wife.

Now the meats and bits for her ATSV-story.

In her universe her brother is Peter Parker and her mother is May Parker. Peter died when Julie fought against Queen (an inscet-human mutant who can control anyone with insect genes, even those with retrogade DNA pieces). Her mother proceedes to disown her and abandons her only daughter and last child with the grief and guilt of potentionally having killed her own brother.

Her MJ was a boy named Min-Ho Jeong, whom she dated in highschool up until graduating college. They amicably went their seperet ways when they decided for different careers/unis.

Her wife Erica Andersen was her Gwen Stacy. She and their son Ben died when an anomily of Mister Negetive destroyed Julies and her apartment complex. After this Julie retiers from her Spider-man job in her universe. There are other superheros to take over for her (like Sam Wilsions Captian America, etc).

O'Hara and B. Parker recrute Andersen for the Spider Society directly after the death of her wife and son (this was before Miguels mistake).

So... yeah. I believe this is the important stuff out of the way! I probably will not be doing a fanfiction/AU for this character but will post bits and pieces here and there.

Do tell me if you have watched the Spiderverse movies!

And if you have, what number and theme should Julies earth be? (Exc.: Miguel O'Haras Earth number is 2099 and his theme is a futuristic version of our New York called Nueva York). I for the life of me couldn't come up with one. Maybe something with lots of greenery?

Lmao at their tiny bums.

I really liked how the scene transitioned here, we see Jimsa and Zaravant (a duo) set off to follow a trail of dead Lusitanians, and then immediately we see Team Hilmes soldiers spotting a duo of riders outside their walls, and we don't see who it is right away. But of course it's revealed shortly after, but I just really love how the scene transitioned here.

He is indeed too good to let die :(

The guilt, man. The guilt. Not being able to protect the capital. Serving with the man who's allied to the forces that brought it down because he believed. Not having the faith he had in Hilmes returned. He's in a rough spot, and probably contemplating his worth. Somebody please hug the guy.

Man I feel bad for Tahamenay and Badakshan. Also, Andragoras is taking none of anyone's feelings seriously, huh. He doesn't care.

And then we never see Narsus and Merlaine interact afterwards. Bummer :(

I get Guiscard's worries but also, you did the same, my dude. You did the same to Etoile.

Their faces 😂

Narsus' schemes helping them even now. Remember that the stint Kishward and Isfan pulled? Narsus' plan, as the former so admitted. I wonder if he foresaw this. I wonder if he gave Kishward those tactics knowing it will help obscure Team Arslan's numbers down the line? It could very well be a coincidence but knowing Narsus the “Mary Tzu” as some older fans have called, I wouldn't put it past him to have planned so far ahead.
