It’s chilly here this morning, so Iris is wrapped up all comfy and cozy. She hopes you get to have some warm snuggles wherever you are today.

Flashback to the Genshin Impact chalk art I made at @crunchyroll.com Expo that nearly broke me. Didn’t help I was sleep deprived from a rough travel schedule, but the level of intricate details in the clothing, the background, the birds, plus all of the shading and color changes, it was a lot.

This is a momentary break in your scrolling for my dog Iris to say “Hi”

The ray of light has moved more vertically. PANEL 3: OSO is out of bed, eating out of a food bowl in the background. The empty bed and blanket is in the foreground. The light has moved further across the scene. PANEL 4: OSO is back in bed, with the blanket over him. The light has moved all the way across.

PANEL 1: LOS TRES PRIMOS stand together in a spaceship, looking forward. In the middle of them is the rhinn, GENN, at the ship controls. THIN PRIMO: Ahoy, Machito! This is Los Tres Primos! Greetings to our young cousin and the entire crew! PANEL 2: The CAPTAIN, in the Machito, stands behind CUDDOW who stands at a console, tongue out operating a screen. CAPTAIN: Orla, wait one sec to answer that hail. [whispering] Cuddow, turn off Imperial transcription, please, and purse the file. [Speaking loudly again] HAIR AND WELL-MET, PRIMOS! I didn’t expect to meet YOU on the path to Tierra! PANEL 3: The thin primo, in hologram, responds. THIN PRIMO: Normally we steer clear of home…but we’re DESPERATE to stop friends from making a mistake. PANEL 4: The CAPTAIN watches the thin primo on hologram. CAPTAIN: What friends? THIN PRIMO: THE NYX. They sent along a cryptic message, saying “These Nyx will have enforced the Empire’s Justice.” They believe they have the right to arrest the Emperor, and turn him over tot he courts. PANEL 5: The CAPTAIN continues to speak to the thin primo via hologram. CAPTAIN: AREST THE EMPEROR? Them and what army? THIN PRIMO: EXACTLY. They’ve built a fleet of Cruz drive warships, apparently… but it’s a disaster int he making. PANEL 6: Back on Los Tres Primo’s ship, the Primos gather around the hologram of the CAPTAIN. LARGE PRIMO: They Nyx are brilliant — BUT THEY’VE NEVER FOUGHT ANYONE. THIN PRIMO: EVER! SQUAT PRIMO: Du Fu gave them no natural predators! No wars! No Sustained combat! They’re gonna crumple with the first punch to the nose. PANEL 7: Close up on the thin primo, under-lit in horror. THIN PRMO: I don’t care how good their M-waves are: firepower can’t compensate for inexperience. Unless we stop them, Captain, THE NYX WILL BE SLAUGHTERED. —— Want to read the full story?
