“Is… is it bad I want to keep it?” Alistair asked, tears welling up in his organic eye.

I sketched this a month ago, life happened, bon appetite.

Remember when I said a couple months ago I’d have those other requests done? Yea.. IM SO SORRY

Needless to say I suck at getting requests done 😭 but here, have some husbands :,]

Hehe special interest make brain go brrrrrrrrrr

Wainwright Jakobs x Alistair Hammerlock, for an anon [plus the icons separate, just in case]

Since it is my #grumpsfanartfriday (a thing that I will do from now on since I am not solely a fanart blog) I am starting off with a quick doodle that I slapped some colour on. Do I finally understand Hammerlocks outfit? no.

Technically speaking, you don't kill the Heart at the end of GL+T, because revisiting the boss fight area shows it still moving and beating, just a less active beat. Perhaps i am just overthinking but overthinking is my middle name

So consider the following;

The curse isn't dead, just simply passed on to the new owners of the rings, aka our two favourite husbands (side note: who are coming up on their one year anniversary too!)

Or maybe, the curse is only activated consciously. So, simply put, if they were to want to be immortals (more than they already are, being Mr and Mr "I got shot but like its just really mildly annoying"), they could.

You'd think that maybe the "curses" on the townsfolk are merely put in place to keep the residents stuck on the planet, a fail-safe provided by the Olmsteads. But the people are clearly still suffering from said curses by the time you rid the place of Eleanor and Vincent, something you can see by just attending the reception afterwards, or even just helping Burton after completing the main missions. They seem to be persistent little things.

And please, one "curse" directly targeted at two individuals at a time, which has the ability to hold one person's entire being (personality, thoughts, etc) in a ring until they are passed onto a new vessel and reborn as themselves again, taken DIRECTLY from the heart of the IMMORTAL GIANT MONSTER, you are telling me some vault hunters just killed the couple who made it and it went "yeah ok bye bye"??? The rings are still made from the heart, and I am doubtful that killing the people attached to it would harm it (since it is, again, seemingly still alive).

Wainwright may have called them "just some fancy piece of jewelry" but odds are they got an immortal tool on their fingers right there. He said "til death do us part" but I think that is farther away than he realizes

Certainly!!

I hope by fancy suits you mean their canon outfit, because thats what I doodled, but if you mean actual suits... well, I have another drawing to make :D

Fl4k: Following the Cube Rule of Food, a dish surrounded on 4 sides is classified as ‘sushi’.

Fl4k: So, following such classifications, a burrito is a type of sushi.

Wainwright: I’m too drunk for this.

if anyone is wondering where I’ve been:

Absolutely hell yes, I adored nearly every ounce of content those characters had in this section, it was FANTASTIC. 

Dialogue and emotion between Winny and Alistair hit shit out of the ballpark for me in any of their combined scenes/conversations, and their solo communications too. 

There were major factors on E6 I thought were wank, like, you know, all of Aurelia, the up and down Twins conflict build, and honestly a few of the side quests, but tbh it all paled in comparison to how fantastic these characters were and how well utilised they were in the planet’s story arc.

The little drops about how Winny feels below Alistair’s league in both education and social status fucking HURT dude, the concerns that he wasn’t going to be good enough for someone with such a pedigree of exciting adventure?

Ahhhh!!!

I know I’m slightly late for this ask (lol oh my god), but they got served so well in the DLC, I don’t remember any oof moments that left me feeling awkward, it just built on the brilliant established characterisation they’ve given us in the game. I’m so pleased with them in general, they’ve been handled so positively.
