Fjord: It's like a bunch of jigsaw puzzles that have no matching pieces. You just like get them really wet and shoved those shits together. Like, "It fits!"

This entire interaction between Fjord and his first mate is one of my favorite moments from the show. Putting aside the admission of feelings that both of them admit for Jester and Yahsa respectively, it is just a great example of how well Travis & Marisha are with each other. Not to mention the fact just how right they both are. Like normal people, the members of M9 all have deep issues that they deal with in their own ways. Sometimes going to other members to try & deal with it, like grief or guilt or trauma. And even though they each have their own shit, they try their best to be that sounding board for the others. Knowing that even though they have their own pain, their friend does too & that is important as well. It’s evident when Yahsa talks about the guilt she has for having left Zuala & running. The guilt of hurting Beau & the others. They constantly reassure her that it wasn’t her & she is forgiven, she’s a survivor not a victim. The same when the gang learns of Beau’s childhood & her deal with Isharnai. Even though they mostly all have childhood trauma, their focus in on Beau & making it a point that she is not who her father ever thought she was or will become. She had surpassed anything that he had built up in his mind regarding his daughter & it was an effort to get Beau to believe that. And how excellently Marisha portrayed that through her emotional state during that episode is AH MAZING! Even when Laura pulls out the most epic move ever, Marisha barely reacts, still behind those emotional walls that she put up to help Beau deal with walking away from her family, from Yasha, from it all. But I digress. Caleb killed his parents, Fjord was bullied to the point of painfully altering his appearance, Veth was bullied by not only other kids, but her own siblings, & Jester was locked in her bedroom for most of her childhood. Things that can jacked with your head as an adult on so many levels. I mean, Beau was right, they are all so fucked up but the fact that have each other makes all of their issues rather bearable & able to be dealt with. And just like those soggy ass puzzle pieces, they fit together when at any other time they probably wouldn’t. Knowing that the people you surround yourself with are just as fucked up as you are can be a relief & knowing that those people have your back no matter can mean even more. Good thing they have Caduceus to be there to offer them tea & a bit of grave cleric advice.

i have no self control so i did redraw my old wtnv scene drawing lol.

it’s the scene in Cal when Cecil tells his “brother” to leave. the shading on the old one is super gross dude. like rly unpleasant colors too. the new one is a bit messy and rushed too but i still think it’s an improvement.
