Hexephre 🐉

Ludus, a dragon of light and sorrow.

might clean this up one day but the messiness of it kind of adds to the vibe in some respects. ludus has lost almost all shreds of who they used to be, with only fleeting impressions of memories to go off of. many things confuse them, but they have at least one person to anchor them and soothe them when things get too much.

this is technically #ffxiv related! i wrote a short story (major ShB spoilers): https://toyhou.se/~literature/202899.ludus

a close up of their face because i need you to feel how sad i am about this (in a good way)

also i worked on this piece at an unnecessarily huge resolution and shrank it down to halfsize, which is still reasonably large, but that means ill never get a crop this crisp again (not that it needs it but you know)

@Hexephre ooooh

@Hexephre ... A word meaning "game, fun" as name for an entity connected with sorrow seems odd. Is that related to their former self?

@Anke a good observation! that's right - a long, long time ago, their former self was a much more carefree, playful, even tricksterish individual. the person who named them did so with this knowledge.

@Hexephre 7 years of Latin classes, and stuff like that is most of the use I get out of it 😆

@Hexephre this is gorgeous! I see what you mean about the vibe. To me it looks deliberate and finished already.
