I commissioned the amazing @sarcasticbirb for cover art for my fic, and look how amazing it turned out. The best Araba x Kumoko an author could ask for!
If you’re interested in the fic, it’s over on AO3, called A Dragon’s Choice by Loeka.
General gushing about the pic below the keep reading.
Seriously, this is SO GOOD. Look how gorgeous both of them are! And yeah, I know Araba isn’t completely true to his canon design, but the feel is right. I wanted him to be sleek and dangerous, and damn, he definitely is. Also, his coloring is based on his Light Novel pics instead of the anime. Way more gorgeous this way.
I love how adoringly he’s gazing at Kumoko. And I love how flustered Kumoko is in return. She’s embarrassed but also pleased. Which fits perfectly, given how tsundere she is towards Araba in the fic.
But damn, the coloring, the play of light, the scales, the sheer freaking DETAIL on Araba. Kumoko is perfect as well, but given Araba’s size, it makes sense for the most detail to go to him. And damn, did birb deliver. But also, Kumoko isn’t drowned out by Araba! Now that’s an impressive achievement. It helps that Araba isn’t quite as big as he should be, in “real life” he’d be able to swallow Kumoko with a single bite. But if he was true to size, Kumoko genuinely would have been lost in the picture. Can’t have that, now can we?
So instead, we get this GORGEOUS pic of the two of them, with Araba filling up like 90% of the frame, yet Kumoko still being center framed as well. I love it, exactly what I wanted. Birb is an amazing artist.
And again, the detail. Holy shit, the detail. Seriously, zoom in on this pic and marvel at how fine every single part of this is. My personal favorite parts are Araba’s ears and the “fluff” on his lower jaw. It’s not real fur, or well, I headcanon it isn’t at least. Those are all scales too. But they LOOK like fur and it’s amazing.

Pokemon headcanon that once Absol are studied and people realize they prevent disasters instead of causing them, particularly dangerous workplaces get themselves a workplace Absol and it also decreases accidents.
Construction sites and fishing ships and factories will have one that pretty much just lazes about until it just gets up howling one day and knocks a dude down. They almost never figure out what would have happened but they're always like "yes absol thank you absol I am so grateful to be on the floor right now. Can I offer you a treat in this trying time"
this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.
I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it
I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally
Fantasy setting where every species of animal has One Fucked Up Trick exactly like in medieval bestiaries (e.g., panthers hypnotising their prey with sweet breath, pelicans reviving the dead with their willingly shed blood, etc.), except these are actually learned magic spells passed down from parent to offspring, so different populations of the same animal in different regions might have a different spell.
(If a species is domesticated you can teach it any spell you want, as long as you start 'em young enough; every breed of dog has a different "standard" spell, and knowing the "wrong" one is considered both a grave departure from breed standards and a potential violation of animal husbandry ethics.)
