Shadowbringers Week - Dulia Chai & Chai-Nuzz

The Mewlah couple in fake scratch-art! Should I make someone else?

Cool cosplays I saw at FanFest, pt 2

Obviously I saw many more cool cosplays than this, but these are the only ones I have pictures of! (I could have sworn I took a pic of that insanely accurate Viper!Meteor... At least I gave him a sticker!)

The Chais seem at first like "Fat, stupid, overbearing wife and her whipped, henpecked husband who regrets marrying her" , but once you get to know them you realize they really do love each other, Chai-Nuzz is just like, depressed and has no self-esteem, and when Dulia-Chai "pushes" him to something, it's because she knows him well enough to know he wants to do or say something, but isn't letting himself. Also the only comment he ever makes about her being fat is that she is just as beautiful as when they first met. Dulia's "stupidity" is also portrayed as her being ill-suited to the sort of situations she's put in early on, but she has her own strengths and moments to shine, and her simple view of the world inspires the solution to a massive problem.

And then the Leveilleurs are "strict, paternalistic, cold authority figure and his inexplicably kind housewife", but Forchenault really does have a heart, and is just under so much fucking stress all the time, and he tries his best to make up for the incredibly cliche "bad father" situations he gets put in by the literal coming of the apocalypse, and Ameliance is like, a clever, slightly ruthless mastermind who is really genuinely into Forchenault's "stubborn old goat" thing. She talks about her husband like some girls on here talk about like, Saul fucking Goodman.

Chai doodles, because they visited me in a dream last night and I woke up compelled.
