Sailor Boy™

Section 1 - Justs' Design

I wanted to add a 3rd design for Just, an outfit that he'd be wearing outside his knight attire, but is still technically "on duty" or basically an example of what the people in Egoméa usually wear everyday. Since his AU is inspired by ancient Greece, I incorporated such elements into his design - like the dark blue himation and the golden laurel. I asked some friends before whether to give him a headpiece in his knight attire or not, but they liked him being bald so there's that

I semi-redesigned his knight attire, tho some of these details might just be an artstyle difference (I apologize in advance). His inner shirt is less feathery and more on frills(??) adding a golden choker, changing the bright yellow gold in his design into more of a golden orange color. I added a design to his belt and added jewels at each end of his stole.

His blue sagum (hooded cloak) is layered, wanting his other arm to be accessible as I headcanon him to be reliant on his touch and senses. The sword I designed leans more into an aesthetic aspect and pretty much if it changed based on who wielded it (svtfoe basically), only the protectors of Egoméa could handle this sword.

Section 2 - Palette's Design

Now you might be wondering, "his outfit is very familiar" and you're right :) If you played sky: children of the light, his outfit is inspired by the default outfit, the ones moths (new players) usually wear. It was hard to pick colors against the blue overshirt so I colorpicked it from Ink's colors, also having a scarf wrapped around his arm that resembles Ink's scarf as well.

I wanted to keep his attire simple, since Palette, as a child, described in canon - was hyperactive and ran around alot. I gave him loose yet comfy clothes, even if he was still a child, Dream had wanted Just to train Palette's (potential) powers. Hence, having his overshirt and the ends of his sleeves have paint marks. I also wanted to add his Penguin plush that I drew in his birthday art before.

The sun necklace that's quite big on him was given to him by Just, a gift from his mentor passed down to Palette, due to how it shines, it could also help Just locate where Palette was.

Final Message!

Just plays the lyre as to reminisce about his deceased mentor, the lyre actually belonging to her as Just has kept it even after she passed. And a little Saturno back when the iguana was as small as a shoe :) I think baby Palette thought the iguana was a fish back then since they found it near the beach

The dialogues are what I intrepeted as baby Palette's inner thoughts or maybe he wrote in a diary back then. Just talked alot and maybe because of him and Ink, Palette adapted it too and became a yapper just like them xd

I wanted to add Human Just's fit for the 3rd drawing, thats why his attire is more loose than his civilian one (don't look too hard I gave up on the fingers). As per Dream's request, Palette would have balanced meals and only had sweets once in a while.

Lorik's childhood friends

Teenage lovers

Falling out/break up

Temporary separation

Back together (FWB/situationship)

Dante come in

Durik FWB

Durik + Lotus FWB

Durik LOVERS :0, no more FWB (that often)

Rurik and Lotus grow as people, separately

They don't really talk and would probably already cut off contact if not for Dante connecting them

Dante and Lotus, good friends, Lotus opens up, then Dante opens up

Lotus, kinda crush on Dante... Secret crush

Lotus keeps it hidden for a long time, getting distance because he doesn't wanna upset durik/Rurik

Confesses his secret crush on Dante to Rurik, because he thinks that'll make them distance themselves too

Rurik nervous, Rurik talks to Dante

Dante nervous, Dante gets to thinking and problem solving

Dante talks to Lotus for more details, then Dante talks to Rurik

Dante says, he likes Lotus back, but won't go further without Rurik's permission and Rurik helps decide what to do next

Rurik thinks a bit, he doesn't mind them dating, but he's personally not sure about how to feel about Lotus, very complicated feelings

Rurik agrees to let them date, but doesn't want anything more than friendship with Lotus, Lotus also agrees with these terms because he also has complicated feelings about Rurik

Dante and Lotus lovers

Rurik and Lotus are forced to talk more, and be around each other more while with Dante, especially on dates and are able to see the new versions of each other more

Lotus and Rurik start to rekindle a little

Rurik sees how Dante and Lotus are together

Rurik wants in on that

Lotus sees how Dante and Rurik are together

Lotus wants in on that

Rurik and Lotus talk to Dante about how they feel about each other separately, Dante takes mental notes, thinking up a plan to get his two lovers to open up because he doesn't want them to feel the need to hold back

Dante starts setting them up more, leaving the room while three are together, asking them both questions at the same time that would get them to communicate more, Dante keeps asking questions that make Lotus and Rurik think about things they've tried to ignore or didn't know they were ignoring, getting to a deeper issue

Dante is a mastermind

Kinda works but they're hesitant because things have failed once, they could fail again, but worse because Dante is in the middle

Rurik and Lotus, asking each other questions, talking about uncomfortable subjects, digging up the past, testing boundaries and trusting each other again, this time things are slower, they do not rush, they see and understand each other with fresh eyes, and Dante helps them to communicate when they're stunted or after a argument/disagreement

Rurik and Lotus experiment a little on each other, acting like lovers, but not really lovers,

Dante talks to Rurik and Lotus, about what he thinks and what he wants from them, and reassures that no matter the end result he will be there

Rurik, starts making moves to see Lotus reaction, Lotus encourages because he does like Rurik but nervous

They're both nervous

Rurik and Lotus talk to each other and work things out, some things forgiven, some things remembered, but a overall understanding of each mistake, and willingness to grow from that

Rurik and Lotus, LOVERS :0 Dante happy his boyfriends are happy, Dante loves his boyfriends being boyfriends, especially because now they aren't so nervous when all in a room together and no more secrets to keep
