An Evening At Kishwards.

An evening at Kishward’s.

I read your posts, they are very interesting! Thank you for them! I would like to ask who is Kazai? Is this a canon character or not?

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my posts!

Kazai is @tired-reader-writer's OC (original character). If you want to read more about him, you can check the tag for him on their blog!

Went to the electronics service center to pick up my device

They said, “Oh it's not ready yet please come back four days later~”

And I'm like “MA'AM I'M DYING HERE”

Just, whyyyyyy 😭😭😭😭

Anyways look what I found when I went to transfer my data to my phone (they were like “do we have permission to delete everything” and I'm like “NO???? I HAVE MY WIPS IN THERE????” and yeah)— a very old sketch/design of Areyan in the previous AU where the worldbuilding was wack and story was nonexistent. Man I'm getting nostalgic. (The different colours are bc I tend to get overwhelmed when there's visual clutter so I tend to do each part in a separate layer and then erase the stuff underneath to make it easier on my brain)

NOOO 😭😭😭

Four more days... How frustrating for you!

But thank you for sharing your WIP, I'm intrigued by his clothing! And I love his longer hair! It’s interesting to think about the version that came before, which I guess paved the way for the current story/character to develop?

Narsus: Daryun, when you see Kharlan, don’t kill him.

Daryun: Aye.

Narsus: -looking at Kharlan’s impaled body-

Narsus: I thought I told you not to kill him.

Daryun:

Daryun: Sorry?

Maybe the manga get another twist? Maybe an alternative after book 7?

Maybe 😅

Let me dream

Yes Isfan without his cloak his 1+

GOOD ArSen Chapter 109 changes: Isfan’s beloved horse is okay

BAD ArSen Chapter 109 changes: Gurgin… 😭😭😭😭

(Surely this confirms the manga will only adapt up to the end of Book 7… I don’t want that to be true, but there’s so other reason to cut/change scenes and kill Gurgin off so early.)

Oh my god

I like it

And the panels with Kubard are so funny 😆

Arslan Senki Reread

In moments like these, it's not hard to see why Kubard is a marzban. He may be quite the loose and untraditional, but here he lightened the mood and raised the morale— relieving some tension where before the soldiers were very high-strung and panicking. It's not just his strength and physical/combative prowess, though that certainly plays a part too.

Before this too, he led a group of ordinary villagers against Lusitanian soldiers and won. His leading skills are nothing to scoff at.

Which makes his “let's just fucking ditch this too” thing at Atropatene all the more glaring— Andragoras fleeing clearly pissed him off a lot, he's a good leader when he has a reason to stick by and fight.

I admit I didn't pay that much attention to Kubard when I first read the manga (a mistake, imo) but I like him a lot. He's a good character, and very fun 🤣

Not shown but Kubard yeeted an entire Turanian. Rest in splat, buddy. And the one he knocked down with him.

I will never not love these panels. They're so pissed!! And they're right to be— they finally have something they can call their own, something that solidified their freedom, and they just started working on it and damn Turanian soldiers just come trampling on it?? Damn I'd get pissed too! Do you realize how angry I get when someone messes with my art?? Do you realize how miserable and murderous I get when I'm kept from finishing my art?? Do you????

GET THOSE BITCHES, BOYS!

Also Kubard's fucking face 😂

Hello there, Barhai! Or is it Balhai?

LMAO, language barrier problems. I'll never not find this funny.

Get in line, Ilterish. You've got people ahead of you who've booked an appointment with Daryun.

Love the banter, though.

The sheet delight on Daryun's face!! It's just literally the “>:D” face, isn't it?

Arakawa never disappoints with the crowd/soldier art. I can just feel their elation, I could almost feel myself whooping and jumping and cheering among them.

Them beans. I love.

🤗 My boys!!! I always appreciate a good Isfan panel.

And hello, is that you Parazada?!

Farangis and Narsus: a brotp I never knew I needed.

I dig it, though.
