Complaints about this Somft AU Essek aside, though:

- Threatening Trent: v. hot
- Intriguing that he has healing magic—as a manipulation of time?
- He is so clearly desperate to be *understood* that I will 100% crumble when he gets that from the Nein.

A still from the Mighty Nein. Drow Essek Thelyss holds one hand forward in the process of casting a spell. Arcane light swirls around bud palm. He’s scowling, his teeth clenched. A still from the Mighty Nein. Still holding the spell, Essek looks to the side, evaluating his chances. He is not happy. A still from the Mighty Nein. A close-up of drow Essek Thelyss’s hand as he heals some magically inflicted wounds. A still from the Mighty Nein. Trent, being a manipulative bastard, feigns comforting Essek with a hand on his shoulder as they discuss Essek’s mother’s health.

DO YOU KNOW THIS KRYN?

- makes pookie eyes at Trent
- cannot lie
- walks?!!? voluntarily?!!?
- treason to save a life :C
- knows what hugs are
- knows what friends are

He’s calling himself Essek, but I’m suspicious 😂

An animated still from The Mighty Nein. Drow Essek Thelyss shoots a sidelong look toward the viewer (/Trent), looking vulnerable. An animated still from The Mighty Nein. Essek has been caught in a lie and it is obvious on his face. An animated still from The Mighty Nein. Drow Essek Thelyss walks through an empty mansion. An animated still from The Mighty Nein. Essek returns his friend’s hug and is inexplicably not awkward about it.

The #weezerds investigate some new Winter’s Crest shapes in the Sun Tree. Caleb takes a tumble; Essek floats down after him. While Fly failed, snowdrift prevailed.

A photo of a tree stark against a cloudy sky. Large ornaments hang from it, including large white balls and snowflakes, a pair of full-sized skis, a brass lantern, and a brass-frame bridge. Snow is mounded on evergreen branches at its base. Small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss are posed in a brass framed bridge ornament. It is made of a series of triangles, so also could be a deconstructed beacon? The snow mounded on the ornament is taller than they are. Other ornaments of a star and a snowflake appear at the edges of the picture, with snow and red berries below. The Caleb Widogast toy has fallen on his side in a snowbank. The Essek toy perches on a snow-covered bush above him, looking down with an aura of concern (but maybe also “I told you so.”) A picture of the base of the tree, shrouded in snow. Vivid red berries are heaped in show, and green pine needles provide a bright backdrop.

The #weezerds venture outside now that the snow has finally stopped! Caleb is bundled up and ready, but Essek would rather be inside with a book and a cat.

#smolessekventures #calebwidogast #essekthelyss #shadowgast
small felted toys of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss are outside on a snowy day. They are on a bridge, with a black iron handrail behind them. Beyond is a view of a cold-looking river and a snow-covered, tree-lined slope. Caleb is wearing a scarf; slightly behind him, Essek looks like he’d rather be indoors.

Sickday doodle prompt from tumblr: Essek's infographic of the optimal bowl of soup. Today's flavor: blended zucchini soup with herbs, black pepper, lemon, and a splash of oat milk. And yes, the secret ingredient is friendship.
#criticalrole #essekthelyss
Digital art in a simple, cartoonish style, depicting a terra cotta bowl of green vegetable soup as the center of a uselessly simplified infographic. There are tiny versions of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role spaced around the diagram's labels, taking poses as though instructing or imparting wisdom to the viewer. The labels say, respectively, "rich in flavor", "deceptively simple". "robust inclusion of herbs", "soup or stew", and "made by my friends". The mini Essek by this last phrase is crying and three little hearts float around him.

From some "speed doodles" on tumblr, for the prompt "Funny prompt - cats? In my emergency warlock patron surgery? Its more likely than you think 🐈"
They're not used to not being the center of attention! 🤣

Digital sketch of Laudna from Critical Role laying comfortably on a long table, her blouse open to show her sternum and a glowing purple gem there. Essek Thelyss stands next to the table casting an enchantment on the gem, his face chagrinned as he tries to prevent a cat from jumping on the table. Another cat lays on Laudna's dress, while a third bats at a stray bit of her hair. Laudna is watching this cat with interest, a little heart by her face.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

My mom is watching #TheMightyNeinAnimated without ever having listened to Critical Role and her text updates are everything to me, a person who is totally normal about the M9 generally and Essek specifically.

#criticalrolespoilers #mightyneinspoilers
A conversation in WhatsApp: Mom: “I did not like when the sea captain got blown up and the eye in the water seems ominous.” Me: “:3” Me: “Apart from Vanderin (the captain) and the big spooky eye what did you think?” Mom: “I enjoyed the episode. It’s nice to meet the characters of the mighty nein. Who is the guy with the sick mother? Is he good or bad? I think he’s bad.”

On a personal note, 4.5 years ago I started writing a hefty #shadowgast fic, ft. Esseks across possibilities.

3 years ago, I thought “maybe I’ll commission a cover if I finish it.”

Tonight, a frame caught in a beacon leapt out at me as a reminder.

Possibility!

#mightyneinspoilers
A still from The Mighty Nein animated. Essek stands in a snowy field, mountains ahead of him and his cloak billowing in the wind. A very rough sketch in a notebook next to a deep blue ink spill. It describes a beacon shape in the centre of the image with Essek walking inside of it. The top right features Aeor’s landscape, the bottom right a close up of a swirling cape, the bottom left a reaching hand, and the top left some arcane symbols. The cape and the Essek sketch link to a note that says “use Twitter ref” the “Twitter reference” image alluded to in the notes on the previous sketch. A man holding a sword walks away from the camera, his outfit flowing as he does.

I was unsure about the “sad villain doing it for his MOM” opener but THERE HE IS. THERE’S the sneering, unimpressed, neutral evil hot boi we love.

Trent, Essek has precisely ZERO time for your shit bc he has work to do and we love that for him.

A still from the opening credits of The Mighty Nein, showing drow Essek Thelyss’s face framed in one facet of a beacon. A small felted toy of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, framed within the face of a metal and glass beacon-shaped planter. A still from the opening credits of the Mighty Nein. It is a close up of Caleb Widogast’s face. He looks intense and there are flames reflected in his eyes. A close-up of the face of a small felted Caleb Widogast toy. There are little bits of rainbow light reflected across his face and over his eyes.
