sorry its not art related but i find this lil edit of mine funny
Just something with those two Maybe will translate a small comic I made some time ago about Ulrch's "death" from the spell. It's just written in russian and idk if I can manage the translation without losing context...

Regulus satelite reciever and... Regulus (not satelite)!!! just thought Osci (oscilloscope) would be a fan of her (and also kind of annoying one)
Fellas is it gay to name yourself after the thing that mirrors the core concept of your awakened colleague..? No?
Also I wondered why exactly enigma thought... It's kind of pointless as a challenge for Ulrich because it is already deciphered, it was once brilliant and supposedly unbreakable, but it has been already cracked open and defeated years ago and now considered obsolete... Oh, now I see why.
I was really tepted to make osciloscope an actual awakened because... I believed to some extent that it really was and also... daughter...
Petty midle age yaoi this toxic lab coworkers that, sir they are really unfortunately for each other one the only person understanding another. That's so much worse. They are incredibly serious to me in ways I can't really explain in a non visual way...

Finished the wip. My main :D (I love him, crazy lil bitey guy). I'm...I'm not good with backgrounds.
An analysis on Pavia from Reverse1999 (Alternative Title: Me yapping about Pavia's backstory and making headcanons/personal interpretation based on the crumbs of lore we get 😭)
I recently thought about this. I've been grinding in this game cause it's so pretty and the voice acting is delicious. That's my own opinion though. And I want to write this down because It will consume me of I don't.
So all you Pavia stans and fans, this one is for y'all since there is only a handful of stuff about him online.😭🥹
So if any players main/use Pavia a lot and build up Bond with him we get his backstory and more voiclines. And spoiler, in Pavia's second character story, it mentions how he was literally abused/neglected from his legal guardian (bitch-ass aunt) because according to her, he looked closely resembling her mother(aunt's sis).
Also that, the aunts sister (Pavia's mum) is apparently dead??? But present Pavia states She's in "an asylum in Rome in probably her middle ages" and "he's never visited her".
So...does he believe she's still alive? Or did the aunt tell him that his mother was just 'insane' and 'unwell' that she was sent to an asylum and was the reason he was under her care? Never informing her own nephew about the passing of his mother?? Cause man.....that's kind of messed up if so. 🫠😶
I'll assume that Pavia's mom, being a single parent since the dad was 'missing', felt overwhelmed or inadequate to be a mom and left him with her sister (the aunt). Since the aunt described her sister as 'sorrowful' 'who abandoned her' and that she 'left behind her troublesome kid'.
I want to believe that Pavia's mom did love him. To some extent. She sang rhymes for him when he was probably a toddler (mentioned in one of his voice lines). She probably sang them so often to him that a grown Pavia can vaguely recall her lullabies. She probably thought that she really wasn't cut out to be a mom; he already had a 'missing' father, what can she do? Keep in mind that this is probably set in the late 70's or early 80's. And based on the societal steriotypes/stigmas, this reasoning seems plausible. And maybe thought that the best decision was to leave him in the care of her sister.
Or perhaps she was in a dangerous situation because she did apparently 'died a few years later' after "going into the city."
Was she in a tight situation? Was this perhaps linked to why Pavia's father was missing? Maybe the family was involved with a crime group or dangerous people? I find it suspect that his father was said to be missing, and that the mom died a few years later after dropping off her son with the aunt.
Going by the later assumption, could this have been a decision to protect her son? If so....it just makes Pavia's backstory and with the way his aunt treated him makes his story that much more tragic and unfair.
But back to the aunt.
The sister...now being tasked to look after a nephew who resembled her sad, irresponsible and 'selfish' sister, she confines him to a basement 24/7 to not look at him because of her personal issues/resentment towards his mother.
Pavia as a child calls out to her, fucking apologies for something he had no control over (his looks, his mom's decision), and is angry at this treatment. (Which honestly, fuck the aunt bro. Fuck Pavia's aunt bro, me and the homies hate Pavia's aunt. The kid did nothing wrong. Just because you resent his parents doesn't excuse the poor treatment you push onto the child. Your biological sister left him in your care and then later on died, the least you can do is provide for probably the only living relative you have left.)
Maybe this is linked to why Pavia has such a flamboyant and artistic style in appearance. Dyed white hair, but his natural dark roots are showing. Tinted glasses, to obscure his silver blue eyes and deep shades under his eyes. Random jewelry on his hands he doesn't really care for. The varies ink on him that make his skin a canvas. The cool ass piercings.
And while this could be a tactic to keep his identity a secret or untraceable for the authorities due to his job as an independent merc, just maybe..... he didn't want to be reminded of who he looked like whenever he looks at himself.
Maybe he didn't want to resemble his mother. It was because of his appearance that his aunt confined him to solitude. Something he had no control over, but as he got older....he gained control over how he looked and dressed. He never visits her in the asylum, she was the second person who abandoned him and the cause of his aunts hatred towards him. So....he probably has either a neutral or negative towards his mother.
In the basement, he develops a very unhealthy lifestyle; having no real concept of time, little sunlight, the sound of dripping water and pests constantly providing an uneasy atmosphere, but he develops his arcanum.
His imaginary friends, who watch over him and keep him warm. Since the humans who were supposed to do that, failed him so horribly.
His imaginary friends who bloomed from the darkest shadows of the basement due to his budding arcanum. Quiet literally.... byproducts of his own loneliness, perhaps yearning to be a part of a family, and strong arcanum.
He couldn't and wouldn't rely on any human, he had to fend for himself.
And because of this, he became an "independent mercenary" with a fatal flaw of " lacking in collaborative skills". He is good at what he does...but his employers "can't stand his work ethic of ignoring his coworkers". He comes across as having an unlikable personality and rudeness. He has a hard time getting along with other people. And honestly? Who can blame him. With the way he was raised...no wonder he doesn't like people in general.
But why should he? Why should he rely on people? His own biological family left him alone in that basement, he never developed any real friends as a child, he didn't get the chance to grow up like a normal child.
He had no one but he made it work. So why should he start to rely on people? For them to abandon him or betray him?
His former boss had planned to betray him, to kill him. So Pavia struck first, keeping only his tie clip as memorabilia.
Pavia is a lone wolf....as corny as that sounds. But he grew up alone, in a dark den. So close yet so far from human society, he made friends from the shadows that kept him company. That once lonely confinement didn't seem so lonely after a while, he grew to find comfort in his predicament.
Adapting and pushing ahead, finding a twisted sort of 'fun' 'excitment' and 'joy' in the most tragic and unfortunate circumstances; his job as a merc and the 'unsavory' nature of his job.
_______________________________________________
Pavia has become one of my favorite characters in media, despite the media he originates from having limited personal information about their playable characters.
But I think this is also a reason why he's so interesting to me. It leaves little crumbs and pieces of background that is mostly left to be assumed by the player's/reader's interpretation. It's fun to assume and make these little narratives and head cannons about them.
And the fact some parts of his story hit a wee bit close to home. Just a little though. I mean... it is unfair and so infuriating for a child to be antagonized or disliked by family just because they look more like one parent than the other.
But ye....this is just my own personal interpretation of this characters background. Mostly just me yapping and connecting the dots on silly head canons. I should write a one shot or series about this guy. He's such a goob.
Wip I've been working on the past few hrs? Haven't drawn in a while but....let's go. You can guess who, I'll post it once it's done 🤧
I have the urge to just...write a 'Strangers to Enemies to Friends to Lovers' fic with Pavia from Reverse 1999 (came back to that game and I've been bulking on there fr fr) and there is but a few scoops of fics about him and I'm just JSKSDNJSJSNSNSK RAHHH
20 day waiting room
Why can I just imagine a modern!Reader going “Slay king!” And Pavia just whipping out a knife? Reader’s racing after him to keep him from murdering over a miscommunication
It's basically these two memes
Here's a small part two of modern era! Reader x Reverse 1999
Imagine them seeing us holding a modern phone and asking us why are we holding a black rectangle in our hands
Or when someone says among us, we try so hard not to say "Amongus 😳" in front of them unless we want to give a cringey explanation on what that means
And heavens above, do NOT let one of the kids get their hands on an ipad and do not leave them alone with it without supervision
