"You don't know me. I'm not the same person anymore."
"That's okay. I'll get to know you again."
Just some thoughts about leander:tm:
He likes to be in control yeah? to pull the metaphorical strings, he can manipulate people and keep conversations to go in his favour, well what if when he is with MC, Leander catches himself slipping, his laughs become more geniune, less forced, his eyes become softer and shoulders slightly less stiff, he let's himself immerse in the conversation and to his horror he only notices this after mc leaves, the conversations and happenings around wet wick he keeps in check by the back of his mind completely gone from his attention, the control and awarness of his situation he had honed was forgotten all because of one person and leander is afraid of MC and the power they managed to hold over him

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?
ill try drawing them in this form again once i leave my art block cell 💔💔
Uhm drunk mhin headcanons if nobody asked for it..( ◜‿◝ )♡
Nobody has! Here ya go (˶ > ₃ < ˶)♡
TW: Alcohol (Obvi) Small note: I think it goes without saying, but this ain't romanticising addiction.
🕊 Whatever it is that got them drunk has to be strong.
🕊 Not because they handle alcohol well, no. Mainly because they're used to being hyper-aware of their surroundings and in control of their actions.
🕊 They are quiet… until they aren’t
🕊 Their normally sharp senses are dulled, their movements clumsy and uncoordinated. They look slightly disheveled and dazed; the edges of their vision’s slightly blurry and their head is swimming.
🕊 *stare…*
🕊 Their glare shifts from cold to something slightly flustered and aloof.
🕊 And even pink flushes against their cheeks — it’s borderline adorable gqbuifcsgbfcu
🕊 They are so squishable
🕊 POUTY
🕊 Definitely more relaxed, easygoing and less threatening — perhaps to the point where they are willing to hold an almost normal conversation with Ais
🕊 If offered anything sketchy they’re give the other a deadpan look that morphs into annoyance.
🕊 They’re not that incapacitated, come on.
🕊 Even if they were, it’s highly unlikely to accept anything that’s not out of Kuras’ hand (force of habit strikes in)
🕊 The only difference would be them talking.
🕊 and I mean talking
🕊 no filter
🕊 Alchemical experiments, anatomy, cats, the stars, whatever’s interesting to them. You just have to smile and nod and they can go until the alcohol wears off or until they’re out cold.
🕊 If Vere tries to mock–flirt, they flirt back
🕊 and then they laugh
🕊 not just giggle, actually, truly laugh. With that beautiful, tinkly “jingle of fairy bells” laugh that rings through the silence.
🕊 Vere is left speechless
🕊 Everyone is stunned
🕊 “Alright, that’s enough drinks for you,” Mama hen Kuras has to intervene.
🕊 w h i n e y
🕊 “I’ll just… just one more? Please?”
🕊 I dare you to say no to those eyes
🕊 I dare you
🕊 Stronger people have been brought down by less
🕊 Next day they lay sprawled across the bed, a hell of a hangover pounding in their head.
🕊 “...I’m fine.”
🕊 They’re not
obviously this smell is ais ("cloaked in the scent of smoke and blood") which many people have already noticed
but do you guys think. ais was there when mc was there. do you think ais already saw mc's hands. that's why he didn't actually care to see them later at the seaspring but brought them up anyway as a means to intimidate mc?? because he already knows??

Patience is a virtue, dear childern☝🏼
Kuras thought Ais wanted to read the shipment lists with him - turns out that's not what he's looking for. Birthday man wants a birthday kiss!
