It’s one of those nights where Essek knows he’s had too much to drink, not enough that he’s well and truly drunk, but enough that the worlds gone a bit soft around the edges and the very quiet part of his brain that tells him when things are a bad idea is silent. It’s one of those nights and Essek is lonely, and sad in a way he’d nearly forgotten he could be.
‘Lux, why, why did you choose me? I don’t, didn’t, even believe you were real. I, I’m nothing special, and there are others who could serve you far better and more willingly than I ever will.’ Essek knows he shouldn’t ask, that you don’t question miracles, but between the wine and the ache in his chest he can’t bring himself to care just now.
“Because you were the only one who questioned. Because you above all others know the pain of not knowing, not understanding. You sit in my light and ask how and why, when others have allowed their devotion to blind them.” Hands softly smooth Essek’s hair from his face, “I love you most dearly because how could I not? How could I not love you as I love myself?”
Lux’s hands tip Essek’s face up so their eyes meet, for a breath, a heartbeat Essek stands outside himself, suspended in the expanse of the Luxon, and sees himself as Lux must. Sharp edges and fractures only better refract the light of a thousand stars dancing just below his skin, and the heavy weight of potentiality that suffuses the air around him.
“You are my most beloved because of how brightly you shine in the dark.”
Lips are pressed to his forehead as Essek’s eyes slip closed, tomorrow he will again question his situation, the how and the why, but for now he will sleep.
I cannot stop thinking about @foxqueen-katarian ‘s amazing AU, where Essek is the Luxon’s champion, who somehow got a physical child-like body and keeps following him around like a little duckling.
I guess they just floats around, shining like a cosmic diamond, and live their best life (?)

I love this idea so much !! If I may add my own take on it, I believe Essek’s and the Luxon’s relationship is basically something like
Part of me is in love with the idea of Essek somehow in the future reassembling the pieces of the Luxon, and then being followed around by the God equivalent of a 13 year-old who thinks he’s (Essek) the greatest thing ever.
Essek would hate it. The Dynasty would hate it. The Assembly would hate it.
It would be great.
To all the people who had this brilliant idea

I’m so sorry for all the angst from last week, here’s some fluffy old wizards in love
Hi Critical Role fandom 👀
Inspired by this post, where a 500+ years old Essek goes back in time when Caleb is kept in the Sanatorium

This has gotta be one of my favorite conversations from s2.
full page
so I haven't watched S3 yet but I'm kinda losing it already.
so Percy art dump go brrr
headcanon that Percy still has spots of brown in his hair, like not all of it turned white, just most of it.
obligatory: he's autistic.
I was also messing around w some scar headcanons. these are mostly inspired by the show. a bit by the campaign but I haven't seen the full thing.
also trans Percy for the soul.
I'm still alive lmao. Been pretty busy with school. Anyways I drew Percy today so content. Also hello trans colours??
thought about this meme during that one scene at the ziggurat in lovm
today I offer some various episode doodles
I haven't been able to draw too much this week but I finally had the time and energy to sit down and properly draw for a bit
Some references:
as promised I drew the full screenshot [mostly cause I hated the sketches, like, a lot]
anyways I got carried away and kind of sloppily rendered it.
first time drawing Keyleth! and it's... this!
again, the screenshot in question [C1E11]
ignore that Vex, I don't like it so you're not seeing her fully. it was my first time drawing her and I didn't have a solid design in mind.
the screenshot in question [C1E11]
might make a nicer drawing [without the fuckups] and draw the full screenshot with Keylith. I probably will actually.
this came to me in a vision one night. [fyi it's my persona as Percy]
this was drawn with a mouse. I know it's really anatomically wonky but I was too far into the drawing process to bother fixing any of it.
he got beat up in ep 4 and 5 of the campaign and it was great
anyways I'm done for the night unless I draw more
I got nothing I just though him firing the gun in the bulette's mouth in ep 4 of the campaign was cool as hell
Stuff from the first few campaign episodes. I think it was ep 5? something like that?
Anyways yeah autistic Percy has been on my mind. Like, what if he wears gloves cause of sensory issues?? I mean, they're constantly coming across gross stuff it makes sense-
I've been drawing him nonstop for like 5 days help
Decided this will be where I'll dump any of my sketchbook sketches, random doodles or general current fixations. I don't know how tumblr works I'm just here to brain dump. I've watched the animated show and now started watching the campaign. Clearly I have a favorite.
For Melora's favourite boy this campaign
