ohh my fav things about epel lemme just unrolls comedically long roll of paper besides his design, i really love how he develops as a character without completely changing. like he’s still hot headed and a silly/naive (albeit less naive with nrc friends) country boy but he’s learned his beauty and being underestimated can be used to his advantage (esp in fights lol). i’m really glad yana toboso went for “harmless looking apple but is actually poisoned” thing with him, it’s interesting and fits so well and has turned into an fun character. i also love his dynamic with vil and rook. he’s intimidated by them first and doesn’t understand them but by chapter 7 he is able to snap rook out of his dream(and even understand it if i’m not mistaken) and ofc he also saved vil in chapter 6. their dynamic is so loving, platonically or romantically
oh man i could ramble all day. i love that silly little apple guy. i hope he gets pregnant. grail open comms or do an art trade w me!!!!! i want him pregnant!!!!!bregante
