Arslan Senki Chapter 129 thoughts

In the comments on this post of @tired-reader-writer I already somewhat voiced my general reaction. But I try to write some thoughts down her as well.

Hilmes reactions - my poor baby

The differences in Arslans and Hilmes mentallity and thoughts on their heritage! The back and forth! Wonderfully written!

how Hilmes sees fighting as his only out of his mental missery :(

Narsus, you naughty naughty man lol

but quick to act so nobody interferes!

Saams faces :( my poor poor sad soldier boy!

Make way for the Zots! And Gurazeh! I have never been happier to see you!

heh Narus tactics coming full circle! Suck on that Andycakes!

(but I do not look forward on how he will treat Kishward bc of that...)

ARSLAN MY BOY!!! I feel like a proud mother! (but also like a bad one bc I am playing favourits... sorry Hilmes...)

sad that we didn't get to see the fight between Daryun and Zandeh nor a solution and that the fight betweeen Hilmes and Arslan was really short... but it makes sense due to Hilmes mental state

I will make a seperate post about my AU thoughts for when I get there for writing! (bc I mayheps have found a way to switch from canon to fanon story!)

CHAPTER 3

will be uploaded this or next week. I actually wanted to do it today but not only did my proofreader not go over it yet (which is absolutly fine. I am going at their pace) but tomorrow AO3 will be down for the day for maintenance (for about 10 hours).

Thus it made no sense to me to upload the chapter now as nobody would have access to it for the first day. So the release will be pushed back for after Monday or for the next week.

But chapter art is ready to go as is the chapter.

After two months of a long waiting and several times that I took his color pallete wrong (and agonizing because i can’t fix the previous one until my vacations end) I’M FINALLY DONE WITH THIS PIECE! :D

Because even being a little shit, Merlane needs more love

Some old picrews of the protagonist of my upcoming Naruto fic: Uzumaki Hoshiori (featuring a chibi Akemi— @akatsukitrash 's OC from their fic Far Beyond the Woods of Dawn, I'm too tired to fetch the link rn). The problem w picrew is that there doesn't tend to be a wide range of options for skin tone... heck, some picrews don't even allow more than 1 set skin tone. Hoshiori's skin is supposed to be dark.

I find that I don't feel very compelled to make picrews of my Wolfsong OCs, I don't know why but I just... don't. Probably because I've had experience w picrew and kinda realized it won't be able to capture their character to my satisfaction.

[I made a lot of Hoshi picrews back then, so expect a part 2 in the reblogs.]
