KHori As Dragons-

Let him farm

This is a picture for those who think being a writer is easy: WE FEELING STRESSED ALL THE TIME!!!!!

Khan: “hello!!! You must be Yeva! It’s nice to meet you!”

They sighlently shake hands wich is followed by Yeva seemingly waving her hands around.

Khan: “uhmm….is that-….is that a solver thing?….”

Yeva freezes and looks confused but does it again.

Khan: “….ok then”

Nori walks up.

Khan: “does she not like me? She wont say anything to me and keeps waving her hands around….does she want me to go away?”

Khan looks genuinely sad that Yeva might not like him.

Nori: “no stupid she’s mute. Don’t you know sign when you see it? She’s complimenting your jacket”

Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem

Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao

Little keychain concept I made- thought I’d share it-

Had to draw these two-

technically I ship them both with Thad and Doll too, but I just wanted to draw these two for rn-

I am so proud of this-

Hi yes hello wondering if you’re a fellow believer of Doll’s father being a solver drone too? Or just a solver drone enjoyer? :3

I have a little head cannon that he was trapped in solver labs to. They tested on him but for some reason male drones don’t seem to have an issue with solver possessions and cannot posses any solver abilities.

But sense they TRIED to infect him he still has little tiny flakes and residual tracks of the solver in his coding. He dosent have any powers but he finds himself craving oil from time to time, salivating when he sees it but not as drawn to consume it as Yeva and Nori are

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)
