🖤 Heartless - The Wonders 🖤

The emotional damage this will cause me when I watch this unfold in its entirety

I JUST NOTICED THIS DETAIL IM FREAKING OUT

When Arle is sad abt her spider dying her curse acts up and her hands get darker, then they become less dark until they're almost entirely normal when she's with Clervie, but once Clervie dies they blacken again and the markings, long nails, and red nails show up

Also maybe she made her title "Father" so she wouldn't have to hear herself referred to with the same title as the previous Knave who killed the person who was seemingly her only friend

The more I think about it the more I realize that if this guys had met under different circumstances, they would have gotten along super well.

PENACONY SPOILERS UP TO 2.2 + CHARACTER LORE / STORIES

All 4 of them have lost their entire family, 3 of them have lost their entire race / homeworld (Boothill, Aventurine, Acheron), 2 of them lost these things because they were victims of the IPC (Boothill and Aventurine), and 2 of them have either lost a sibling or are afraid of losing a sibling (Aventurine and Sunday).

More specifically:

As far as I know, Sunday and Robin's parents were killed somehow, and they were taken in by the Family. Then as Sunday said Robin ended up getting shot in the neck due to trying to help others, and I think he got some kind of trauma from that and his fear of losing Robin, his sister and only remaining family, was amplified, leading to his desire to protect "the weak" no matter the cost—because to him, keeping Robin's wings "clipped" and her alive would be less painful than her being gone, and him being alone forever.

Boothill, as I understand it, was taken in by 2 people who found him as a child, and grew up in the countryside of his planet. He later found and adopted a young girl and raised her as her own, until his entire planet was destroyed by the IPC, causing him to set out to get revenge.

Aventurine also lost his sister and his entire home planet due to the IPC + his planet's own problems, and has been forced to work for the IPC ever since. It also seems like he's trying to destroy it from the inside out or at least obtain his own freedom.

As for Acheron, her entire world, as well as her memories of it, were destroyed—she's almost certainly lost people that were important to her, like the other three.

Like honestly if they all sat down and traded backstories I feel like they'd get along super well, they're all victims of circumstance and that's why they experienced so much conflict during the story

Random Alhaitham and Kaveh headcanon incoming involving plants and interior design

So Kaveh is absolutely plant crazy and has a bunch of aerogardens and probably a few terrariums to decorare the house, but since his style is more spontaneous bursts of 3 am creativity and motivation and not consistent and logical work he'd be terrible at taking care of them (along with taking care of himself) even if he's trying his best because either he or the plants will get burnt out

And meanwhile Haitham's just a straight up plant nerd but keeps reeeeaaal uiet about it, and watches from afar while "reading," then when Kaveh goes to sleep or to his room or to get absolutely wasted at the tavern with Cyno and Tighnari or something he'll just go and fix up the plants and the setup for them and such

And since he's 1) learned to pick his arguments more carefully with Kaveh so Kaveh doesn't get overwhelmed (and so Alhaitham can spend his arguments on things more important than plants, like Kaveh's self-destructive levels of empathy), and 2) probably knows that Kaveh blames himself a lot for his father's death and is always feeling that he needs to be there for others out of guilt + is hard on himself when he can't help people, Alhaitham stays quiet about Kaveh's terrible gardening skills so he doesn't blame himself for neglecting / not caring for the plants

Which of course leads to Kaveh thinking that he's an absolute gardening prodigy and leads to him buying even more plants, while Alhaitham's torn between being vaguely happy that Kaveh is enjoying himself, and heavily regretting his actions because now he has even more plants to take care of

I need to draw this
