Howdy y’all, thanks for stopping by! \(^^)/ This ended up being a real big video -- I hope y’all enjoyed it! It feels like forever since the last time I worked on a speedpaint, so it was nice to get back into that familiar editing rhythm again. It was also a ton of fun to play around with this new format! I’d definitely like to have a go at it again; so pls lemme know what y’all would like to see or hear about next time, and I’ll see what comes forth from the depths of my old sketchbooks 👀✏️ (Also, what was your fave character or story snippet from this video? I’m super curious to see what y’all think 👉👈)
First off, AMAZING CONCEPT! I LOVE THIS WORLD YOU MADE! Second off, Valentine AMAZING, STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL! NONBINARY RIGHTS! Third off, LOVE YOUR ART! (Also my we make Fanart of this?)❤❤❤
I really think that all these characters are super endearing and I would love to see more of them. It’s hard to choose a favorite when you have given them such great bases to build on.
Now we just need a wendy oldbags who thinks Eira has a thing for them because of how awkward he is around her while the rest of the team tries not to laugh in the background
YES. It'd probably a small villian, but I love the idea of Flint being the really supportive one and celebrating every small victory. (Now I really want an episode where the characters are forcefully separated and we get to see how they act by themselves, cause Flint seems like the kind of characters that's really supportive of others, but desperately needs validation from others to the point of genuine fear if it seems like someone isn't proud of him... I'm dumping my own shit on him, oh god.)
@@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450 I AM IN LOVE with this whole comments section and the concept corner videos in general I want to WRITE that story bajjajajasjwbwb
@@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450 Maybe Alchemy shapeshifts into Doppel #2 and sets him up on a date because Alchemy is a good wingman/woman who cares about their friends romantic lives
Idea for Eira rejecting his magic: Perhaps the reason the kingdom is covered in snow is because of magic. Like, some magical accident or an evil wizard. Because Eira's magic is focused on ice and snow, he has the same type of magic that caused this eternal winter which is why he's so ashamed of it. And if an evil wizard is responsible for the winter, maybe Eira is one of their descendants.
This might be able to tie in with the fact that he was a street punk in the past. Maybe he disagreed with his family about this, and was either disowned or ran away from his family on his own. And he just doesn’t wanna be like his family/ancestor so that’s why he’s so unaccepting of his own magic.
One thing I love about Flint’s design is that his nose is crooked, like he’s taken a hit or two in the face and broken his nose at least once in his fighting career
Alchemy: I’m not just the stereotypical pretty girl, I’m also - Alchemy *throws piece of clothing into the air to create a diversion while they transform* Alchemy: I’m also the stereotypical pretty boy!! Eira *clutches heart in gay panic*
So we have: ~Accidental vamp dearest ~Genderfluid showman ~Cold-blooded(like reptile) himbo ~Closeted anxiety twink ~Head-empty bastard/babey twins (I use bastard as a compliment btw) and ~Squishy suplex healer Omg you're so good at character design!! Their redesigns as well as personality/story changes are so cool and amazing!!! I love your longer vids, you're the only channel where I can consistently get thru the whole thing and not even think about clicking off. I would *absolutely love* to see more revamps from you!!!! This comment is so extra but I just really really love everything you make 🥰
"I wanted to create characters with a similar vibe and maybe shippable" Me, who shipped Flint x Eira the moment I heard he has ice powers: *It's Free Real Estate*
I actually thought about shipping eira and lance when the villain video came out but over time I began to ship flint x eira because they are just so cute together 💙❤️
Yeah, I remember his video with the RWBY OCs (iirc) and how he wanted to use more of them. It's nice to see how he improves and grows through stuff like that!
God, I can just see it. Eira, standing near defeated by the king's captor, his sword knocked out of his hand, Heartless and the others knocked out. The bad guy taunts Eira, takes his time. He draws out his blade and presses it to the king's throat. Asks Eira: "What are you gonna do about it?" BAM! Dagger goes flying, we get a look at the villain's shocked face before a full-page spread of Eira, standing before his friend, newly created ice sword raised high, the first time he's ever done so. The power of (possibly more than) friendship, baybeeee~!
(Oh my goodness, I can't help but add detail to this - ) No. No, no, no, repeats in his head, seeing the blade get closer and closer to his king's throat. He doesn't have time to get to his sword. The outsiders are defeated, scattered across the floor behind him. Even if he ran, he wouldn't get there in time. This man, this insolent, disgusting invader, knows it. It's in his eyes - triumphant and gleaming, sickly victorious. Like every gang member on the streets that hurt people, just because they could. He would hate it, but he can't think through his horror. Not him, he can't help but think. Time has slowed but every millimeter that dagger crawls forward is too fast. Please, not him. *CRACK.* His vision whites, and then it's back to normal, except it's too dim, where is his king, where is - ? Please, he thinks again, and his tears freeze on his cheeks. His eyes have adjusted. The windows have been frosted over, ice covering the stone of the floor and walls in a blast pattern, deadly and explosive. Spikes rise, sharp and fatal. His king's breath comes out to add to the white of the room in little puffs. There is blood on the side of his face, but he is alive. Snowflakes grow out from dust, water forming crystals on specks of dirt and falling when they become too heavy. *Not him,* he had thought, and ice had formed from him, a sick imitation of shaping snow. Eira knows he is just as filthy as the dust in the center of snowflakes, but for now, with his king alive, he is too relieved to think about that.
I love the idea of all of them running through a forest. Like just imagine: Heatless running through a forest or park chasing a butterfly and he kills all the plants, but then Alchemy runs after him, and changes the dead flowers to live, pretty ones! Then Flint runs past and they burn a little bit, And then Eira goes past and the plants get all frosty. After that, River runs past, stops, regrows the plants, and continues to try to catch Heartless. Finally, Dopple runs past and the flowers double in number. And then it cuts to a townsperson sitting on a bench who just witnessed that, and looks absolutely bamboozled. Idk, just something i came up with to play with how their power work.
three possible openings, them being epic making an epic escape, running pass the flowers, and them trying to use their powers together but they be disasters so shenanigans ensue my suggestion is that we use all three openings in different episodes, the epic is the angst and most story related heavy episodes, the flowerfield is more light and happy episodes and the disasters together is the comedic learning to work as a team episodes
Best line ever “ The good thing about reimagining story’s from the past is that you have the power to make them gay” I love that line for so many reasons
I relate to that but the funny thing is one of the main characters from my current project is THE first gay character I've ever made (basically I was raised homophobic and while I started to grow to be more accepting I randomly went "hm how about make a gay character for once?" and so I did and he's one of my favorite characters I've ever made to this day)
I did this same thing to a story i came up with when I was in 4th grade 😅. Specificly a character now named Seth who is gender fluid now. But before, they were some evil girl named Alex who "pretended to be a guy/was a tomboy". At the time, she also got smooched a la sleeping beauty by the protagonist who... was... named... Luna... how oRiGiNaL 😂 (her name is Artemis now, so at least a little less on the nose)
Arcs about character clones accepting their existence and becoming their own person is a weakness of mine. So this interests me GREATLY. Also red and blue gays.
Flint and Alchemy are the parents of the group, Heartless is the chaotic youngest child, Doppel and Glass are the unhappy middle children, and River is the responsible oldest daughter with anxiety. Eira is the weird cousin. I love this dynamic for them
ABD: "To put it simply, [Flint] simply cannot function in hot weather. . . It's not even necessarily because his magic makes him run hot by default, or anything, I just thought the idea of a really stoic, cool, strong guy who can control fire not being able to handle a heatwave was a really funny idea." Me: "Time to add some PHYSICS!" One possible explanation is that his magic requires him to use some of his own body heat to produce fire. As a consequence, his body is used to absorbing more heat than a normal person, which, when heat is already abundant, could be very uncomfortable. Sorry if this feels more like a Quirk than magic, I just thought it'd be neat.
“One of the benefits of redrawing your characters as an adult is that you can make all of them Gay!” I almost died And you HAVE to expand this series, I would love to see more of concept corner, but I love these characters
That's because all of the other wizards Heartless had met have all been skinny. They all have used their magic and not their muscles. And then there's this stoic fighter guy who could throw him through a tree without magic and Heartless is SCARED.
Same- My old story that I made three years ago, which was back then literally called "the war between heaven and hell" but is now "Angel of Hell" used to have all straight mcs. Now the Princess of Hell (Muriel,her name will be changed) is lesbian,the Prince of Hell (Lucifer)is Pan and the Princess of Heaven (Amara,her name will be changed soon) is Bi. They're is a bunch of other from side stories but those are the main ones.
All my OCs were gay anyway, they just didn't know it 😎. Seriously, I have a genderfluid character and aroace character from when I was ten and didn't know what it meant
Incorrect Heartless Quotes Shy Doppel: I'm so useless OG Doppel: Nah, you're not useless OG Doppel: You can be used as a bad example Heartless, opening a Capri Sun: Guess I'll drink my sorrows away Alchemy: Not everyone is going to think I'm pretty, and that's OK Alchemy: They are wrong though, obviously Eira: Gay rights? true Eira: As a gay I am always right The team: you are... flower River: Explain The team: Makes me happy River: You don't think I can fight because I'm a girl Flint: I don't think you can fight because you are wearing a wedding dress. For what it's worth, I don't think Alchemy can fight in that dress either Alchemy: Perhaps not. But I would make a radiant bride
*Adding to this* Alchemy, introducing themselves: Ah right yes, what were we talking about again? Oh yes. Me. Anyone else: Uhh no, that's alright. Alchemy: Oh? Too bad, I do so like talking about myself. OG Dopple : My dreams were shattered years ago Mirror Dopple : How many years ago? OG Dopple : How old are you? Mirror Dopple : He called me the B-word! OG Dopple : No I didn't, mother fucker doesn't start with a "B" Flint/Eira : *Is tired*
*If you don’t mind, I will add:* Alchemy: Okay, I’m gonna need you to swear- Heartless: Fuck. Alchemy: Alchemy: Swear as in promise. Eira: *holding a cig* Right, I guess that’s the way it works. River: *walking by* Smoking kills, boys. Eira: So does talking shit, River Dial! River: Hey, fuck you!
And they immediately try to replicate it in their own eyes, but then they look in the mirror and say, "nah, you do it better" and return to their base design
OrderlySummit: Why are you gay? Alex: I am not gay! OrderlySummit: You are gay. Alex: Okay, fine. Fine! It’s the strong boi side characters. They got me wrapped around their little fingers! Well... their big fingers. Man, those sexc af hands *insert moan*.
Flint being terrible in hot weather and Eira being from a cold country makes me imagine them during a heat wave with Eira just making ice to desperately try and cool them down
*Eira:* _WHAT IS IN THE LIVING ROOM_ *Both Dopples: in the middle of the living room staring at Eira intensely* *Flint:* I found them while walking to the store :)
God, as soon as you revealed Alchemy's masculine look and started talking about them being Nonbinary i couldnt help but shed some tears, man. They would have 100% been my emotional support/wish fulfillment character when i was still a lil enby kid who had no idea how to express themself 😭 i love everyone's designs so much, but Alchemy is absolutely my favorite (also, i cackled when you said the beauty of revisiting old characters was that you can make them all gay like bitch me too!!!!)
At first I was like, “Aw her (River’s) old design was kinda neat is sad to see it get scrapped :(“ but then I saw her redesign and went “Nah you’re right this one is much better I love River I would die a thousand deaths for her”
Head cannon: dopple doesn’t need to wear the same clothes but they choose two because the original insists that if there going to twins they might as well look bad butt while doing it. Either that or they do it without realizing it and at first the original was super annoyed by it.
the original was really mad about it, but later on he starts insisting on it, because not only its because of the twins things, but because it is very helpful, it helps to confuse the enemy
@@arthurdias6860 lol i can imagine that the original Doppel is wanted in his city, but the law enforcers don't know that there's two of them, so they get confused as to how Doppel can be comitting crimes in two places at once
I like the thought of Eira being in love with the king, maybe possibly that could be the reason why Eira rejects his magic? the king (being the ruler of a anti-magic country) could be against magic and although he knows Eria is magic, he demeans Eria’s magic usage by saying “you aren’t like those wizards” or “you’re different” causing Eria to sort of repress his magic bc 1) he’s in love with the king but also 2) he’s grown up with the view of being magical as something bad but only him being the exception of this stereotype. The thought of rejecting a part of yourself for the sake of someone else could be very relatable and angst worthy. i think it would be really nice to see Alchemy teach Eira the importance of self-love and not sacrificing a piece of yourself just bc you want someone else to be happy. also i think it could reflect Eira being a closeted gay? possibly reflecting the inner torment of being a young kid in love with someone you were taught you shouldn’t love bc of their gender and gradually hiding and rejecting that part of you just like Eria with his magic? idk but i think that would be really nice but i’m also just a glutton for angst and one-sided love lol :]]
Im not sure on Eira being in love with the king,unless its admiration and not romantic. But,the idea of the king saying that he's not like other wizards is really good!!
Since he said that Eira started out as a criminal, him and the king could like meet in the palace gardens every night with Eira climbing over the wall to see him
I'm late but what if Eira just. doesn't realize that Alchemy is one person. "Where's your orange-haired crewmate, I need to ask them something" "You mean Alchemy?" "No the other one"
This is how it would play out: “Heartless, where’s your pink-haired teammate?” “You mean Alchemy?” “No, the other one.” “But they’re one person-“ “NO THERE’S TWO OF THEM-“
I feel like Eira's ice sword would see a transition from all gnarly and jagged at first then get a more refined rapier-type look as he developed his magical skills.
Maybe from the king? Like he would be willing to put his life on the line for him and maybe at some point Eira like bursts and magic floods out for who knows what. And then maybe the kingdom like banishes him for magic and the King gives him the scarf? Idk.
Ooo I'm just imagining a River focus season finale where she has to save all her friends and ends up doing something that bothers her for at least half of the next season. Idk, it just sounds like a really epic scene
“The best thing about growing up is you can make all your characters gay” Myself who’s first ocs were essentially a club of magical lesbians: AGREED AGREED
Yeah I still remember their names and the relationships. They were R.J, Nora, Candy, Ray, Mina, Ariana. The relationships were Nora x Mina, R.J. x Candy, Ray x Ariana.
As a kid I just said "ight this person is gay or straight, dat is it. Except my persona. They like every gender (*`v’*)" .....I grew up and realized I'm pansexual
Since Dopple has a mirror version of himself, maybe you could invert his mirror counterpart’s wardrobe, writing hand, habit of holding his bag, etc, from left to right.
Heartless: “why am I not alive” Alchemy: non-binary Jessica rabbit Flint: cheating bad, fire good but dangerous Eira: “I’m surrounded by idiots” Doppel: “be gay, do crimes” River: oh god if you think about it they could be the most powerful character in this, DON’T THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH
@@rosemary3029 really? Totally thought he was deadn't. Edit: Oh heck, I now have an idea for a gag/plot point involving heartless! When asleep, heartless looks as though he's dead; not breathing, no pulse, swells a little, etc.
Since River's last name is Dial, a visual cue for her amplifying/accelerating someone with her magic could be a green dial that appears near them. The dial could change shape and size depending on what she's doing (healing a small wound has a small dial vs healing a large tree has a HUGE dial) and maybe she could have two or three different types of dials depending on what she's doing (like a clock-like dial if she's accelerating something, or a health bar lookin thing if she's healing someone/repairing their cells lol)
my headcannon is that Valentine starts calling the original Doppel "Unoppel" or "Oneppel" to differenciate them both and slowly everyone from the group starts calling him the same way
i just hada thought- with the bad guy that nullafies magic, would that mean he could delete the timid dopple? they're both already weak when it comes to magic and the timid dopple happened because of magic, i just imagine the two dopples running away, the timid one getting caught, brash turning around to help and then *in one moment the timid dopple is gone, the brash one has all his powers back for the first time in years, and Creed is very very confused as to why the person he just grabbed disappeared*
And then OG Doppel just snaps and goes on a full rage, Creed doesn’t even have time to process what the friggles just happened before he gets a happy reunion with the pavement.
Imagine if it’s the other way around, and Creed reaches for both of them, and you see someone’s hand fade, and when we look back, TIMID has tears in his eyes and is ANGRY. Because TIMID was the original and didn’t realize, because the duplication knocked them out and they woke up with the same memories.
Fake anime screenshots sounds like a really cool idea! I’d love to see your characters interacting with each other and getting up to shenanigans. So many possibilities!!
Incorrect quote: Heartless: Man, Eira it's really muggy out Eira: ... If I go outside and all our mugs are on the front lawn, I am going to kill you Doppel (the original): **sipping from a bowl** Run.
And then Alchemy intensely stares at Doppel and he’s like, “I didn’t help this time!” Flint pops out and just goes “There was a last time?” Cue awkward silence.
man the fact heartless is dead is so morbid and sad if you think about it. he possibly has a family who lost their son and they have no idea he’s walking around undead and just fine and he can’t even remember who his family is if he has one at all. he can’t remember who he is either. I can’t even imagine the inner turmoil heartless must have some nights as he wonders who he was before he was dead and what things could have been like if he never did die. he would probably try with everything he has [maybe literally] to remember but he can’t and i can’t imagine how much it would crush him to not even remember a scrap of his old name. yet he powers on in spite of it and doesn’t let it hold himself back from going on the search and being as happy as he can. the image of heartless looking in the mirror and not even recognizing his own face is so incredibly sad to me. he is by far my favorite but these batch of characters and the villains have all won my heart equally and i can’t love one more than the others. i hope heartless finds who he is but doesn’t let it clash with how he is now and it joins together and he becomes a whole new person full of love and freedom of who he is. all with his friends alongside him the whole time GOD I LOVE THIS STORY so sorry if this was messy 😅 and have a lovely night or day🩷
Idea: Heartless and Alchemy meet when Heartless sees one of their shows. Heartless goes backstage and offers to be Alchemy's helper, because constantly transforming back and forth multiple times each performance has to be tired to some degree. Alchemy deems Heartless cute enough and a partnership is formed!
I imagine heartless meets alchemy while aimlessly wandering near the beginning of his resurrection, and he hears rumors of their magic show and gets excited- getting the idea that they could change his appearance so that he could hide his magic in public. Most obviously, they can not due to the fact that they can only alter themself- but they're fascinated by the fact that Heartless is undead, and after a shonen fetch quest gone wrong they pack up their show and decide to travel with them. It's a bit iffy, but I tried my best with the idea!
No but seriously. Umqgibe the OG getting super annoyed at his clone, and full on screaming at him, while the clone just sobs and takes it. Or if the OG does somehow manage to get rid of the clone, but quickly regrets it it, becasue hes suddenly alone
Oh my god...it has so much angst potential. Like, does the Mirror Doppel have separate feelings? Is Doppel making his own copy miserable by accident? If he were to get rid of his mirror copy, would he get lonely and regret it? SO. MUCH. ANGST.
he is having a battle, he needs more strength, and in a final moment he finds himself using more power than he remembers having, he turns around to cheer at his other half exclaiming something like “i did it!” and “did you see that halfie?!” only to realize that there’s a mask on the floor with a note saying “you did great, glad i could help” and while the other characters are silent and he is crying we can hear in the background the weak half being like “i’m glad i could help, i’m gonna miss you all, please, continue the fight without me” there, there’s the angst you wanted xoxo
As a twin watching this, my first thought upon learning Dopple's story was the angst opportunities they could have. Like the anxiety side having an issue of wanting to be treated better, given a separate name, or even just treated as something separate. He's been separate from the original boy since they were small children and it just feels like something that would come from a situation like this. They started the same and my brain really wants to poke at the fact that they're separate now. There's also the really messed up option of them figuring out how to put Dopple back together and having to make that choice. Lose the basically brother you made when you were a kid and get to be whole again, or stay the way you are right now. Like dude, the angst possibilities with those two it so strong! Anyway, this story sounds super cool and if you ever make it into a full-on thing, I'd love to see it! Hope you have a nice rest of your day! :DD
I’m also a twin and I also thought of the exact same thing! I think your idea is great, I would love to see the anxious Dopple’s view on being separated from the original Dopple but only ever being treated like a less cool copy. I also really want him to chose a name for himself.
Oh and maybe he’s like only a doctor because the amount of money doctors get and not actually passionate about it. And when he’s fighting he says “YOU’RE MY NEXT PATIENT!” lmao I need to stop.
Great illustrations ABD! Songs used are: “Dream Dance”, “Hero’s Heart”, and “8 Bit Onward”! Use in your videos for free, just credit with a song link and you’re all set!
Oh hi there! My bad, I didn't realize "8-bit Onward" was missing from the credits list in the description! The other tunes were already linked in there but the description has now been updated to add that one in - thanks so much for the heads up! :D Cheers for making such great tunes btw, I really love y'alls work! (^^)/
I just thought, based off of River's appearance, she seems kind of timid. I can imagine her and Doppel's timid half having becoming great friends! (also would she be able to heal him?) Then something happens, perhaps a villain is able to reverse Doppel's abilities(?), and they loose the timid half which is just greatly upsetting to the entire group - I can feel the angst!
And when you really think about it, he has his own personality and memories, he may as well be his own person and at that point, he's essentially dead.
I can see it now, they get cornered by Creed and he manages to knock everyone else down, Heartless is struggling (not dead but definitely struggling) because his magic is being nullified, Eira has no weapon, Flynt's being occupied by another member of the Jury, people are down for the count left and right including the original Doppel... And then the Timid one just, gets up, and charges Creed because he's not gonna let them hurt his _friends_ damnit, he manages to get a few good hits in, and then... Creed uses his power on him, and the other Doppel shatters like glass. And that's when the battle takes a turn, because now, *it's personal.*
Ok but I love the idea of River getting into a super climactic fight with nobody else there to help her, and she uses her ability super creatively to just body the villain. She could accelerate the power that a villain is using so they lose control of it and it misses, or she could accelerate their sense of pain. Like early golden experience from Jojo.
The way I was thinking, “ah, that talk of diversity was very important and nice. Just wish there would be a black girl in this line up.” AND THEN YOU DREW RIVER DIAL’S HAIR. As a black female artist who is weary of how the world views people like me-especially on social media where people can be exceptionally cruel and obtuse-my heart SOARED seeing her redesign!! (And green is my fave color! 💚) I always love your vids, especially redesigns. It always motivates me to draw and your voice is so comforting. (Not to mention, I could watch you draw hands all day, I have yet to really nail that in my art @_@). I love every single one of your characters, pls pls pls make more content of them! I’m a sucker for color-coded diverse teams!!
Sophia Young (Apologies in advance for the word dump lmao) I’m not an animator, so my experience/advice is limited. BUT! I’d suggest looking up African American/Black protective hairstyles and see how the hair moves and behaves! You can also look up tutorials online on how to draw such styles (I learned so much from twitter! Black creatives there are very organized!) I also tend to binge “How to Braid” vids because I’m just learning myself. Such protective styles that I know of (anyone pls correct me if I’m wrong) are TWISTS (two strands “braiding.” It kind of looks like rope) , FLAT TWISTS (braided into natural hair), SENEGALESE TWISTS (weave/feed in extensions for longer twists), BOX BRAIDS (three strand braiding with weave/feed in extensions), and CORNROWS (natural hair braided into the scalp), etc. The weave/feed in extensions can be any color! From matching the natural hair to any color you wish! An Afro/kinky curly hair would most likely be easiest to draw/animate because you can shorthand with puffy hair with a few strands but don’t be shy to experiment! Protective hairstyles are versatile! Just don’t try to change up the hair styles from day to day because a number of these are meant to stay in for a while i.e. box braids. Learning the maintenance it takes for black hair is helpful too. Again, sorry for the word dump but one last tip would be to follow a lot of black creatives who specialize/show a lot of hair diversity! It takes lots of research but I hope the key words of protective styles I shared will help you on the journey! I’m still learning everyday 🤗
@Sophia Young I think having consistent hair will be no problem for your character because we tend to keep protective styles in for longer periods of time like OP mentioned, simplifying black hair can actually be really fun! Locs like in this video are an option, cornrows too, or even playing with having her hair slicked up into a puff or two afro puffs could be something simple and iconic. ( oh and edges r really fun to draw BHSDJ )
Alex: and this is Eira! The kings gaurd-- Me: childhood best friends eira and the king. eira falls in love, but the kings in an arranged marriage/happy relationship and eira spends his entire arc coming to terms with the tragedy that the king will never love him that way which leads him to join heartless and co in an attempt to move on and see more of the world after they save the king from the danger. Also opens up opportunities for fire gay and ice gay and im a sucker. We been knew.
holy shit after they save the king and he meets his queen again after and they share a loving kiss and hug and Eira is looking longingly at them from behind the other heroes and thats the moment he decides it will never happen and he has to move on
Okay, but I imagined Eira cool down Flint on heat wave/desert trip... And I think I'm going to cry. Like Eira is the only one that is worried about it cause everyone else got used to it. And Flint very vocal complain to everyone but never do it to Eira cause he *really* don't want to annoy him ( and because of that one time his brain melted when he saw Ice boy with less clothes, which is still way more than him a daily basis; and started ranting to him about how attractive he is. Which of course is miss understood as being about the weather. ) And now Eira think Flint is avoiding him, also that he's a creep for being so attracted to his half delirious companion. Eira, being Eira, has no other copping mechanism to having a crush but serving them heart, body and soul; start secretly experimenting with his magic to solve our dear himbo's problem. Until one day, while they're left alone at the inn, he built the confidence to propose helping. Now they always hold hands.
Eira and Alchemy become really close as well where Eira confides in her about his feelings towards others in the group, and coming to terms with his sexuality and wizardhood. I think because she is openly expressive about her non-binary and magic usage they would be great as best friends who come to each other in dark times and she could help with Eira's arc and everything.
Howdy y’all, thanks for stopping by! \(^^)/
This ended up being a real big video -- I hope y’all enjoyed it!
It feels like forever since the last time I worked on a speedpaint, so it was nice to get back into that familiar editing rhythm again.
It was also a ton of fun to play around with this new format! I’d definitely like to have a go at it again; so pls lemme know what y’all would like to see or hear about next time, and I’ll see what comes forth from the depths of my old sketchbooks 👀✏️
(Also, what was your fave character or story snippet from this video? I’m super curious to see what y’all think 👉👈)
my favourite character concept was probably Eira, but in story I always love the rowdy boys so Dopple would probably end up being my favourite lol
First off, AMAZING CONCEPT! I LOVE THIS WORLD YOU MADE! Second off, Valentine AMAZING, STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL! NONBINARY RIGHTS! Third off, LOVE YOUR ART! (Also my we make Fanart of this?)❤❤❤
Alchemy and flint are my favorite ones, they seem so cool and their character design is so awesome!
alchemy and river are very cool thank you for creating them
I really think that all these characters are super endearing and I would love to see more of them. It’s hard to choose a favorite when you have given them such great bases to build on.
Slaps roof of old story: this bad boy can fit so many gays in it!
Is that ouran high school host club?
How many gay people can I include
No way.... I'll take your whole stock
Plot twist - everyone’s gay!
But what if they are already gay???? Gay²?
For me It's head cannon that Doppel's other half never gave himself a name because he doesn't think he deserves an identity.
This headcanon hurts my soul because I can totally see him doing that.
I think the rest of the gang would give him a nickname, and when OG Doppel accidentally says it whole gang is like !!!!! "oooohhh you softie"
BABY NOOOOO!! I love Doppel’s other half and I want to protect them!
How about.... D O P P I O (no like fr it means "double")

Yes
You're doing great sweetie!
YES. It'd probably a small villian, but I love the idea of Flint being the really supportive one and celebrating every small victory. (Now I really want an episode where the characters are forcefully separated and we get to see how they act by themselves, cause Flint seems like the kind of characters that's really supportive of others, but desperately needs validation from others to the point of genuine fear if it seems like someone isn't proud of him... I'm dumping my own shit on him, oh god.)

He’s just closeted in so many ways
Idea for Eira rejecting his magic: Perhaps the reason the kingdom is covered in snow is because of magic. Like, some magical accident or an evil wizard. Because Eira's magic is focused on ice and snow, he has the same type of magic that caused this eternal winter which is why he's so ashamed of it. And if an evil wizard is responsible for the winter, maybe Eira is one of their descendants.
This might be able to tie in with the fact that he was a street punk in the past. Maybe he disagreed with his family about this, and was either disowned or ran away from his family on his own. And he just doesn’t wanna be like his family/ancestor so that’s why he’s so unaccepting of his own magic.

God, I can just see it. Eira, standing near defeated by the king's captor, his sword knocked out of his hand, Heartless and the others knocked out. The bad guy taunts Eira, takes his time. He draws out his blade and presses it to the king's throat. Asks Eira: "What are you gonna do about it?"
BAM! Dagger goes flying, we get a look at the villain's shocked face before a full-page spread of Eira, standing before his friend, newly created ice sword raised high, the first time he's ever done so. The power of (possibly more than) friendship, baybeeee~!
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
(Oh my goodness, I can't help but add detail to this - )
No. No, no, no, repeats in his head, seeing the blade get closer and closer to his king's throat.
He doesn't have time to get to his sword. The outsiders are defeated, scattered across the floor behind him. Even if he ran, he wouldn't get there in time.
This man, this insolent, disgusting invader, knows it. It's in his eyes - triumphant and gleaming, sickly victorious. Like every gang member on the streets that hurt people, just because they could. He would hate it, but he can't think through his horror.
Not him, he can't help but think. Time has slowed but every millimeter that dagger crawls forward is too fast. Please, not him.
*CRACK.*
His vision whites, and then it's back to normal, except it's too dim, where is his king, where is - ?
Please, he thinks again, and his tears freeze on his cheeks. His eyes have adjusted. The windows have been frosted over, ice covering the stone of the floor and walls in a blast pattern, deadly and explosive. Spikes rise, sharp and fatal. His king's breath comes out to add to the white of the room in little puffs. There is blood on the side of his face, but he is alive.
Snowflakes grow out from dust, water forming crystals on specks of dirt and falling when they become too heavy. *Not him,* he had thought, and ice had formed from him, a sick imitation of shaping snow.
Eira knows he is just as filthy as the dust in the center of snowflakes, but for now, with his king alive, he is too relieved to think about that.

I love the idea of all of them running through a forest. Like just imagine: Heatless running through a forest or park chasing a butterfly and he kills all the plants, but then Alchemy runs after him, and changes the dead flowers to live, pretty ones! Then Flint runs past and they burn a little bit, And then Eira goes past and the plants get all frosty. After that, River runs past, stops, regrows the plants, and continues to try to catch Heartless. Finally, Dopple runs past and the flowers double in number. And then it cuts to a townsperson sitting on a bench who just witnessed that, and looks absolutely bamboozled.
Idk, just something i came up with to play with how their power work.
YES THIS IS THE INTRO
AIGHT WHO'S GONNA WRITE THE THEME SONG
OMG YES SO WHAT'S THE OPENING SONG
three possible openings, them being epic making an epic escape, running pass the flowers, and them trying to use their powers together but they be disasters so shenanigans ensue
my suggestion is that we use all three openings in different episodes, the epic is the angst and most story related heavy episodes, the flowerfield is more light and happy episodes and the disasters together is the comedic learning to work as a team episodes

I relate to that but the funny thing is one of the main characters from my current project is THE first gay character I've ever made (basically I was raised homophobic and while I started to grow to be more accepting I randomly went "hm how about make a gay character for once?" and so I did and he's one of my favorite characters I've ever made to this day)
@@nschannel826I love this
I did this same thing to a story i came up with when I was in 4th grade 😅. Specificly a character now named Seth who is gender fluid now. But before, they were some evil girl named Alex who "pretended to be a guy/was a tomboy". At the time, she also got smooched a la sleeping beauty by the protagonist who... was... named... Luna... how oRiGiNaL 😂 (her name is Artemis now, so at least a little less on the nose)
That's exactly what I do with my characters! Two of them literally went from being best friends to a gay couple!😂
Alchemy would call their friends endearing names like "darling" and "love" unironically *and THAT IS A **_F A C T_*
I accept as fact that Alchemy is Wine aunt, and flirts with everyone platonically
idk if you have ever seen hazbin hotel but IM SURE ANGEL AND ALCHEMY WOULD BE FRIENDS
Please tell me Alchemy uses the pet name "Shug" :DDD

Eira is the weird cousin got me laughing so hard
ABD: "To put it simply, [Flint] simply cannot function in hot weather. . . It's not even necessarily because his magic makes him run hot by default, or anything, I just thought the idea of a really stoic, cool, strong guy who can control fire not being able to handle a heatwave was a really funny idea."
Me: "Time to add some PHYSICS!"
One possible explanation is that his magic requires him to use some of his own body heat to produce fire. As a consequence, his body is used to absorbing more heat than a normal person, which, when heat is already abundant, could be very uncomfortable.
Sorry if this feels more like a Quirk than magic, I just thought it'd be neat.
And it would definitely be a way to logically explain it! ABD needs to see this.
Mmm logic
Shoto Todoroki ❄️🔥 is typing....
Yup
Seems pretty logical to me
Doesn’t make him too overpowered in an icy area as well as his fire would likely be weaker due to the lack of heat.

That's because all of the other wizards Heartless had met have all been skinny. They all have used their magic and not their muscles. And then there's this stoic fighter guy who could throw him through a tree without magic and Heartless is SCARED.

I like the thought of Eira being in love with the king, maybe possibly that could be the reason why Eira rejects his magic?
the king (being the ruler of a anti-magic country) could be against magic and although he knows Eria is magic, he demeans Eria’s magic usage by saying “you aren’t like those wizards” or “you’re different” causing Eria to sort of repress his magic bc 1) he’s in love with the king but also 2) he’s grown up with the view of being magical as something bad but only him being the exception of this stereotype.
The thought of rejecting a part of yourself for the sake of someone else could be very relatable and angst worthy. i think it would be really nice to see Alchemy teach Eira the importance of self-love and not sacrificing a piece of yourself just bc you want someone else to be happy. also i think it could reflect Eira being a closeted gay? possibly reflecting the inner torment of being a young kid in love with someone you were taught you shouldn’t love bc of their gender and gradually hiding and rejecting that part of you just like Eria with his magic?
idk but i think that would be really nice but i’m also just a glutton for angst and one-sided love lol :]]
Im not sure on Eira being in love with the king,unless its admiration and not romantic. But,the idea of the king saying that he's not like other wizards is really good!!
Ooh good thoughts good thoughts
"Youre not like other girls"
Since he said that Eira started out as a criminal, him and the king could like meet in the palace gardens every night with Eira climbing over the wall to see him
Best hot take I’ve seen. Eira being in love with the king - and having it be unreciprocated- was my thought exactly!
I'm late but what if Eira just. doesn't realize that Alchemy is one person.
"Where's your orange-haired crewmate, I need to ask them something"
"You mean Alchemy?"
"No the other one"
Bonus points if he overcompensates and thinks the Dopples are one being when he meets them

This is how it would play out:
“Heartless, where’s your pink-haired teammate?”
“You mean Alchemy?”
“No, the other one.”
“But they’re one person-“

As a kid I just said "ight this person is gay or straight, dat is it. Except my persona. They like every gender (*`v’*)"
.....I grew up and realized I'm pansexual
I've tried making a bunch of oc's and literally all of the ones I'm interested in are some type of LGBTQ+ lol. That or they're my dnd characters.
Everyone’s talking about Eria. And i’m over here being soft for River-
OMG, Same! This is the first river comment I’ve seen and it took me so long to scroll all the way down here.
@@pierceschuyler1517 it was worth the scrolling

Since Dopple has a mirror version of himself, maybe you could invert his mirror counterpart’s wardrobe, writing hand, habit of holding his bag, etc, from left to right.
Nobody:
Me: *Flint lighting Eira's cigarette.*
Oh my God, that would be so cute and so hot.

I am very silent. But also *YES NECESSARY!*
Heartless: “why am I not alive”
Alchemy: non-binary Jessica rabbit
Flint: cheating bad, fire good but dangerous
Eira: “I’m surrounded by idiots”
Doppel: “be gay, do crimes”
River: oh god if you think about it they could be the most powerful character in this, DON’T THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH
Too late, I thought about it too much
This made me realize why I already simp for Alchemy
Heartless is aliven't
HAHHAHAHAHA
@@rosemary3029 really? Totally thought he was deadn't.
Edit: Oh heck, I now have an idea for a gag/plot point involving heartless! When asleep, heartless looks as though he's dead; not breathing, no pulse, swells a little, etc.
So is no one going to point out that Doppel is dressed in ace colors?
“My only love is stealing shit!”
You’re a genius.
Your brain is huge
BIG BRAIN! WE HAVE A BIG BRAIN RIGHT HERE!
yes this one officer this is the head canon that stole my heArt-
“Who needs romance when you got these MAD *SKILLZ* “

I like the idea that heartless, is just tall. Him being the tallest is just funny. He gives off, idk short vibes.
He kinda reminds me of Hinata from Haikyuu in a way, or like Naruto. Just emitted those vibes yk
@@Lemonpoetarts he a ball of sunshine we love our boy
he’s like, lemon-flavoured Deku. Yes, please make him a Happy Tol :D
Looking down on everyone but you can and WILL still ruffle that puffy cutie hair!
@@certainlysomething5320 lemon flavoured Deku is a great way to describe him
Since River's last name is Dial, a visual cue for her amplifying/accelerating someone with her magic could be a green dial that appears near them. The dial could change shape and size depending on what she's doing (healing a small wound has a small dial vs healing a large tree has a HUGE dial) and maybe she could have two or three different types of dials depending on what she's doing (like a clock-like dial if she's accelerating something, or a health bar lookin thing if she's healing someone/repairing their cells lol)
That sounds so cool
my headcannon is that Valentine starts calling the original Doppel "Unoppel" or "Oneppel" to differenciate them both and slowly everyone from the group starts calling him the same way
And he'd get so mad that they're changing his name rather than his clone's xD I can see it !
"You can make all of your characters gay!" Ah yes, art culture
i just hada thought- with the bad guy that nullafies magic, would that mean he could delete the timid dopple? they're both already weak when it comes to magic and the timid dopple happened because of magic, i just imagine the two dopples running away, the timid one getting caught, brash turning around to help and then *in one moment the timid dopple is gone, the brash one has all his powers back for the first time in years, and Creed is very very confused as to why the person he just grabbed disappeared*
PAIN, MISERY, ANGST, FURIOUS EMAILS, CHARACTER ARCS, GROWTH, AND MORE PAIN
YES, KILL THE OTHER DOPPEL EVEN THOUGH I LOVE HIM
And then OG Doppel just snaps and goes on a full rage, Creed doesn’t even have time to process what the friggles just happened before he gets a happy reunion with the pavement.
That’s rude, why’d you have to break my heart like that
Imagine if it’s the other way around, and Creed reaches for both of them, and you see someone’s hand fade, and when we look back, TIMID has tears in his eyes and is ANGRY.
Because TIMID was the original and didn’t realize, because the duplication knocked them out and they woke up with the same memories.

Incorrect quote:
Heartless: Man, Eira it's really muggy out
Eira: ... If I go outside and all our mugs are on the front lawn, I am going to kill you
Doppel (the original): **sipping from a bowl** Run.
I get Drax the Destroyer vibes from this.
And then Alchemy intensely stares at Doppel and he’s like, “I didn’t help this time!”
Flint pops out and just goes “There was a last time?”
Cue awkward silence.
@@yourlocaldemon2195 cut to river sitting in the corner contemplating how she ended up here
Why do I imagine eira to be a bri'ish lad
man the fact heartless is dead is so morbid and sad if you think about it. he possibly has a family who lost their son and they have no idea he’s walking around undead and just fine and he can’t even remember who his family is if he has one at all. he can’t remember who he is either.
I can’t even imagine the inner turmoil heartless must have some nights as he wonders who he was before he was dead and what things could have been like if he never did die. he would probably try with everything he has [maybe literally] to remember but he can’t and i can’t imagine how much it would crush him to not even remember a scrap of his old name. yet he powers on in spite of it and doesn’t let it hold himself back from going on the search and being as happy as he can.
the image of heartless looking in the mirror and not even recognizing his own face is so incredibly sad to me. he is by far my favorite but these batch of characters and the villains have all won my heart equally and i can’t love one more than the others.
i hope heartless finds who he is but doesn’t let it clash with how he is now and it joins together and he becomes a whole new person full of love and freedom of who he is. all with his friends alongside him the whole time GOD I LOVE THIS STORY
so sorry if this was messy 😅 and have a lovely night or day🩷
Idea: Heartless and Alchemy meet when Heartless sees one of their shows. Heartless goes backstage and offers to be Alchemy's helper, because constantly transforming back and forth multiple times each performance has to be tired to some degree. Alchemy deems Heartless cute enough and a partnership is formed!
Nice! Question though; what's heartless' salary?
and it would be a good idea actually heartless is not alive because he is an undead so technically they can use their magic on him
@@ruansasa289 Oh my god you're right I hadn't even considered that
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices oh no...
Yeah, I had the idea that, with the new context of episode 3, Alchemy had placed an order in with MOJO for an assistant, and Heartless showed up

Some things don't change

@@themanthrmyththelegend that sounds like an ace attorney name pun
I imagine heartless meets alchemy while aimlessly wandering near the beginning of his resurrection, and he hears rumors of their magic show and gets excited- getting the idea that they could change his appearance so that he could hide his magic in public.
Most obviously, they can not due to the fact that they can only alter themself- but they're fascinated by the fact that Heartless is undead, and after a shonen fetch quest gone wrong they pack up their show and decide to travel with them.
It's a bit iffy, but I tried my best with the idea!
Epochii I LOVE THIS
Headcanon: Heartless has emergency sunglasses to cover his eyes for safety reasons. And Alchemy probably made them for him.
he would totally use the sunglasses for like disguises but in a laughably conspicuous way
I imagine those sunglasses having way too much Elton John vibes 💃 Idk why 🤷♀️
He would have an entire collection of fun sunglasses
i imagined those glasses with flip up layer of sunglasses?

"But what about....... the ANGST?" - me, constantly, every hour of the day.
No but seriously.
Umqgibe the OG getting super annoyed at his clone, and full on screaming at him, while the clone just sobs and takes it.
Or if the OG does somehow manage to get rid of the clone, but quickly regrets it it, becasue hes suddenly alone
OH YES, MM, THE FLAVOR
Oh my god...it has so much angst potential. Like, does the Mirror Doppel have separate feelings? Is Doppel making his own copy miserable by accident? If he were to get rid of his mirror copy, would he get lonely and regret it? SO. MUCH. ANGST.
he is having a battle, he needs more strength, and in a final moment he finds himself using more power than he remembers having, he turns around to cheer at his other half exclaiming something like “i did it!” and “did you see that halfie?!” only to realize that there’s a mask on the floor with a note saying “you did great, glad i could help” and while the other characters are silent and he is crying we can hear in the background the weak half being like “i’m glad i could help, i’m gonna miss you all, please, continue the fight without me”
there, there’s the angst you wanted xoxo
The gang ™️ meeting Dopple: can we keep him :)
Eira: *no*
"I can't handle both of them, its... double the flustered!- wait did I just come out oh crap-

I feel like eira and river would have a cute friendship. I feel like they would both be awkward but still try their best to cheer each other up
aww that's so wholesome 🥺
River: hi-
Eira: WomAn *unintelligible noises*
River:...that’s ok
As a twin watching this, my first thought upon learning Dopple's story was the angst opportunities they could have. Like the anxiety side having an issue of wanting to be treated better, given a separate name, or even just treated as something separate. He's been separate from the original boy since they were small children and it just feels like something that would come from a situation like this. They started the same and my brain really wants to poke at the fact that they're separate now.
There's also the really messed up option of them figuring out how to put Dopple back together and having to make that choice. Lose the basically brother you made when you were a kid and get to be whole again, or stay the way you are right now. Like dude, the angst possibilities with those two it so strong!
Anyway, this story sounds super cool and if you ever make it into a full-on thing, I'd love to see it! Hope you have a nice rest of your day! :DD
I’m also a twin and I also thought of the exact same thing! I think your idea is great, I would love to see the anxious Dopple’s view on being separated from the original Dopple but only ever being treated like a less cool copy. I also really want him to chose a name for himself.
This feels like something I’d love to see😭😭😭
I feel Dock would have some weird mentality where he’s like,, “you can’t be a doctor without people getting hurt.”
Oh and maybe he’s like only a doctor because the amount of money doctors get and not actually passionate about it. And when he’s fighting he says “YOU’RE MY NEXT PATIENT!” lmao I need to stop.
Nah please continue

Cheers for making such great tunes btw, I really love y'alls work! (^^)/
I just thought, based off of River's appearance, she seems kind of timid. I can imagine her and Doppel's timid half having becoming great friends! (also would she be able to heal him?)
Then something happens, perhaps a villain is able to reverse Doppel's abilities(?), and they loose the timid half which is just greatly upsetting to the entire group - I can feel the angst!
alastor nullifies doppel's abilities, thus eradicating doppel 2
he consequently gets decked
And when you really think about it, he has his own personality and memories, he may as well be his own person and at that point, he's essentially dead.
@@catmask1123 why would you hurt me like that
I can see it now, they get cornered by Creed and he manages to knock everyone else down, Heartless is struggling (not dead but definitely struggling) because his magic is being nullified, Eira has no weapon, Flynt's being occupied by another member of the Jury, people are down for the count left and right including the original Doppel... And then the Timid one just, gets up, and charges Creed because he's not gonna let them hurt his _friends_ damnit, he manages to get a few good hits in, and then... Creed uses his power on him, and the other Doppel shatters like glass. And that's when the battle takes a turn, because now, *it's personal.*
@@strangepineapples3375 i can imagine heartless being like “i will not go to your funeral btw” while river cracks her knuckles.
Ok but I love the idea of River getting into a super climactic fight with nobody else there to help her, and she uses her ability super creatively to just body the villain. She could accelerate the power that a villain is using so they lose control of it and it misses, or she could accelerate their sense of pain. Like early golden experience from Jojo.
The way I was thinking, “ah, that talk of diversity was very important and nice. Just wish there would be a black girl in this line up.” AND THEN YOU DREW RIVER DIAL’S HAIR.
As a black female artist who is weary of how the world views people like me-especially on social media where people can be exceptionally cruel and obtuse-my heart SOARED seeing her redesign!! (And green is my fave color! 💚)
I always love your vids, especially redesigns. It always motivates me to draw and your voice is so comforting. (Not to mention, I could watch you draw hands all day, I have yet to really nail that in my art @_@).
I love every single one of your characters, pls pls pls make more content of them! I’m a sucker for color-coded diverse teams!!
Sophia Young (Apologies in advance for the word dump lmao)
I’m not an animator, so my experience/advice is limited. BUT! I’d suggest looking up African American/Black protective hairstyles and see how the hair moves and behaves!
You can also look up tutorials online on how to draw such styles (I learned so much from twitter! Black creatives there are very organized!) I also tend to binge “How to Braid” vids because I’m just learning myself.
Such protective styles that I know of (anyone pls correct me if I’m wrong) are TWISTS (two strands “braiding.” It kind of looks like rope) , FLAT TWISTS (braided into natural hair), SENEGALESE TWISTS (weave/feed in extensions for longer twists), BOX BRAIDS (three strand braiding with weave/feed in extensions), and CORNROWS (natural hair braided into the scalp), etc. The weave/feed in extensions can be any color! From matching the natural hair to any color you wish!
An Afro/kinky curly hair would most likely be easiest to draw/animate because you can shorthand with puffy hair with a few strands but don’t be shy to experiment! Protective hairstyles are versatile! Just don’t try to change up the hair styles from day to day because a number of these are meant to stay in for a while i.e. box braids. Learning the maintenance it takes for black hair is helpful too.
Again, sorry for the word dump but one last tip would be to follow a lot of black creatives who specialize/show a lot of hair diversity! It takes lots of research but I hope the key words of protective styles I shared will help you on the journey! I’m still learning everyday 🤗
@Sophia Young I think having consistent hair will be no problem for your character because we tend to keep protective styles in for longer periods of time like OP mentioned, simplifying black hair can actually be really fun! Locs like in this video are an option, cornrows too, or even playing with having her hair slicked up into a puff or two afro puffs could be something simple and iconic. ( oh and edges r really fun to draw BHSDJ )

Alex: and this is Eira! The kings gaurd--
Me: childhood best friends eira and the king. eira falls in love, but the kings in an arranged marriage/happy relationship and eira spends his entire arc coming to terms with the tragedy that the king will never love him that way which leads him to join heartless and co in an attempt to move on and see more of the world after they save the king from the danger. Also opens up opportunities for fire gay and ice gay and im a sucker. We been knew.
I. LOVE. IT.
holy shit after they save the king and he meets his queen again after and they share a loving kiss and hug and Eira is looking longingly at them from behind the other heroes and thats the moment he decides it will never happen and he has to move on
Okay, but I imagined Eira cool down Flint on heat wave/desert trip... And I think I'm going to cry.
Like Eira is the only one that is worried about it cause everyone else got used to it. And Flint very vocal complain to everyone but never do it to Eira cause he *really* don't want to annoy him ( and because of that one time his brain melted when he saw Ice boy with less clothes, which is still way more than him a daily basis; and started ranting to him about how attractive he is.
Which of course is miss understood as being about the weather. )
And now Eira think Flint is avoiding him, also that he's a creep for being so attracted to his half delirious companion.
Eira, being Eira, has no other copping mechanism to having a crush but serving them heart, body and soul; start secretly experimenting with his magic to solve our dear himbo's problem.
Until one day, while they're left alone at the inn, he built the confidence to propose helping.
Now they always hold hands.
Eira and Alchemy become really close as well where Eira confides in her about his feelings towards others in the group, and coming to terms with his sexuality and wizardhood. I think because she is openly expressive about her non-binary and magic usage they would be great as best friends who come to each other in dark times and she could help with Eira's arc and everything.
