Angler Merfolk And Their Little Isopod Friend 👁️ 👁️ Im Tempted To Try And Make This Bookmark

Many thanks to @1000sunnygo for translating the remaining fourth light novel story. 🙏🙏 It's bookended by segments in 2050, but the main portion is set on January 28, 2046.

The ending that was included for this story's rerelease in the light novel is the inspiration for the top two photos in the series' fourth anniversary art:

Which is 🥺🥺🤧

Small smattering of reactions under the cut:

Emma knowing deep in her bones how amazing Don and Gilda are, even without her memories 🤧🤧

REAL FUCKING DON AND GILDA APPRECIATION HOURS HERE 👏 👏

(Chapter 59)

Me, treasuring any crumb of Don and Emma interactions:

They take their responsibility so seriously 🥺🤧 goodest kids

FJLDSFLJEASD Gilda immediately shutting that shit down after what happened with Emma fainting two weeks ago…

…only to come to the conclusion this is exactly the kind of shit the trio would pull, in the same way that's conveniently summarized in "The Chess Proverb" short story:

With the spark of unconventionality that Emma brings and her drive to achieve the seemingly impossible to balance out Ray's wisdom and pragmatism and Norman's cunning and ruthlessness in execution.

They admire the trio so much after all the years they spent looking out for them and they want to do them proud, and then the look on their faces when Emma and Ray choose them to accompany them on the search for Cuvitidala and the Seven Walls without hesitation because of how much trust they have in them after everything they've been through—

Also this is hardcore I'm so proud of these two little ten year olds and how in sync they are throughout this whole thing.

"smiled softly" oh son I'm soft

Also yes you better be heaping praise on them after everything, including making Gilda cry which is a tragedy in its own right

And a little bit of Raydon banter at the end too to complement what we got in "Operation Stormy Night," beautiful. 🖤❤️🙏

Just some Emma’s y’know…

*Sketches will be in a separate poll.

Been wanting to paint this for a while now. I just love transparent and iridescent materials and how they play with light.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?
