I am no artist, and I did download a mannequin off of Pinterest in order to draw these because anatomy is hard, but I wanted to try to draw some of the outfits I’ve designed for the links, so here are the first three!!

Past’s tunic is definitely more of a dress than a tunic, and they also have a corset! Tune’s outfit was HEAVILY inspired by Will Turner, I’m not even gonna deny that one. I used one of his outfits as a reference and then just tweaked it. And for Warriors, it’s pretty much his in game tunic but longer and with more gold designs because he’s fancy

At some point I will try to draw them actually and not just their clothes, but for now I hope these are good enough. Again, I am not artist, I just sketch sometimes

i see all this “War will mean well but say something that hurts Wild” this and “War will do something that reminds Wild of the army and traumatize him” that, but guys the sword swings both ways. War has his FULL memories of the war. He has ALL that trauma hanging over his head and he suffers from it constantly. Wild could very easily say something (like a command or something because his brain wants Warriors to shut up sooooo bad it’s the first thing that pops into his head and he says it before he can thinm) to WAR that could catch him off guard and completely shut him down Just As Easily. Wild isn’t some like. helpless victim, leaving him alone with War isn’t going to kill him. Wild has just as much potential to accidentally cause harm to War’s mental health and fuck him up

I wrote a ton of analysis posts going into further detail on how uncharacteristically down Warriors was acting in nearly every update since Twilight was first injured, so I'm not going to do super in depth on the stuff prior to the most recent arc, but to recap:

(art cred @/linkeduniverse from Sunset 13)

When Twilight was talking about how he could literally feel himself dying, Wars was like the only one who wasn't horrified, he looked accepting in a way. He's a soldier, he fought in a war, he's very used to death. He tried to keep everything together and help the others as best as he could, and I'm just making an assumption that there was a lot he did behind the scenes to help care for the others when Time was with Twilight and Hyrule in Sunset 14. We see Warriors smile and joke around in Dawn 2 when he sees Twilight is okay, but it seems like followig this initial relief he's a bit more down than usual, he also seems a little tired

(Dawn 3)

The Dawn arc really brought out a much different side of him than we'd seen before, he had lower energy and while previously he'd been screwing around and cracking jokes, we saw him tell Legend and Hyrule in Dawn 7 to stop poking fun of Sky and stop interrupting, which was something he himself had literally done in Regroup

and while Warriors does go back to acting more like himself towards the end of the Dawn arc into where we are now, he sticks VERY close to Twilight in like every update since

I mean he was even the one to bring him his horse in Dawn 9

And in today's update, Central Room 2, him telling Time his whole plan really just seems like HE'S the one who desperately needs to keep an eye on Twilight:

Wars, sweetheart... "If you're that concerned, I could keep an eye on him" king it's okay to be worried about your friend, promise 😭

I just think he really really prepared himself for Twilight to die so that he'd be able to keep himself together and help the others grieve and now that Twilight's NOT dead he's a Bit worried about him, because it's probably hitting him now how terrifying the whole situation was. Like yeah he knew it was bad, that's why he's so stressed out about Wild and is being a bit overprotective of him, but I think the EMOTIONS and the stress are starting to hit him, but he can't suddenly let it slam into him so he's trying to play it off like "it's okay Time i'll watch the rancher" as if he ALSO can't leave Twi alone for two seconds. He's just as bad as Time is lmao
