Pls have the two old guys looking over something that they're utterly disgusted by.

Maybe they're looking at my WIP folder and seeing how disorganized it is...

Not much in ask answering right now, but I wanted to at least show off a cozy scene between the two older hive members!

@ all characters: so, it's well known that mind flayers can eat brains/thoughts. How a mind flayer feels about this may vary, but of everyone you've met or adventured with, who would be your "guilty pleasure" brain snack?

Transcript Below!

First Panel:

Ekethe: Unfortunately, my options are severely limited by my party members either being dead, dumb, or dying, or some hellish combination.

Lotusen: Ah, for me, our present wizards would make a wonderful meal. Sweet Curiosity, and Savory Optimism! A fine combination.

Second Panel:

S'anuk: O-Oh! Well I don't like to eat the brains of people! Or in general m honestly I would rather have to just eat animals, but it's all sort of bland until I flavor them with Lotusen! They know a lot of flavor combinations and texture preference, but despite that--

Third Panel:

Sa'keret: Ekethe's brain sounds good.

Ekethe, off screen: HEY

S'anuk, visibly uncomfortable: ...oh.

So, here's a bit more fan art! A while back, there was a discussion on how the illithids would be in a Disney setting, and I was doodling when it struck me- Ekethe is pretty similar to judge Frollo. Knowing that, I got a little inspired and drew this!

OH YES!!!

It did end up inspiring his outfit change for the recent ask as well, but man, I love the way you made him entirely menacing!! Looking as if he is about to break out into song and be a horrifying monstrosity that- (ahem) ALL WILL FEAR!

Ekethe narrating: Hardly anyone seemed to care about re-instating a new hive. It was almost as if they preferred the low numbers, the constant arguments and debates. I can hardly stand this...useless group. But the only time I've considered expanding  was when I was rid of my party structure. Falling into extinction within my world...of course, it seems that they are ashamed of what they are. I don't get it.

For the rest of the group, however, they seem indifferent to remaking a hive, apart from Lotusen, who is leaning back in their chair.
